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!

Felt Rushed Without Reason We met friends at Ok Omens on a rainy evening, excited to catch up at one of the restaurant's rare four-tops. From the moment we sat down just before our 5 p.m. reservation, we felt hurried. Servers interrupted frequently to prompt decisions, leaving us little breathing room to settle in. Our friends, who live nearby and have been here before, ordered a pasta dish and a burger—both looked substantial. My $36 sturgeon, however, arrived atop what seemed to be a small bed of thin strips of parsnip (?) and a quarter slice of charred onion. While the fish was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were sharp and bitter. Even after sharing appetizers, I left the table hungry. By 6:50 p.m., despite the restaurant being only about a quarter full, the hostess approached to inform us of a 7 p.m. reservation for our table, which suggested we skip dessert and coffee despite anything else she said after that. Oddly, there were nearby two-tops and several other tables include two right next to us that could have been rearranged to accommodate a larger party, making the rush unnecessary. We understand two-hour seatings during busy times, but this wasn’t the case. The restaurant was not bustling - it was more than half empty. It would have been nice to enjoy dessert and coffee to round out our evening instead of feeling ushered out prematurely. The hostess thanked us for understanding on our way out. We won't be back.
