We just tried the new menu at OK Omens. It’s long been one of our favorite restaurants and after last night, it will remain one of our top choices. The new menu is different in style and in flavors, with a couple of holdovers. The wine choices are still unique and described so poetically. We were very happy with our choices and look forward to trying some of the other new dishes on our next visit.

OK Omens has a new chef...new menu and new ideas. The new menu is interesting, and the choices limited (tapas size for sharing) but all tasted great...except the "raw kelp cured trout" which was a real disappointment. I found it tasteless and mushy. Given that there were fresh horseradish slices on top, one would think there would be a little kick. If it wasn't listed, I wouldn't have known there was horseradish on it. Service was great and timely. Our server clearly paid attention to us and made the experience all the better. Lose the cured trout.

Every dish was a delight! The green salad (Torito salad) is particularly perfect.

The chicken liver mousse was fantastic, and beautifully paired with a Marsala wine. The winter salad was awful. Big chunks of pear on little endive leaves. Looked terrible and there was really no taste. The sturgeon was a tiny portion and the sauce was only ok. The steak was great, but somewhat overwhelmed by the broccoli rabe sauce. The chocolate mousse dessert was very tasty. The bartender was very knowledgeable and paired things very well with the food. We’ve been twice, but not sure we’ll go back even though we live close by!
