    Experience was great, service was great. Our waiter did amazing to check in and refill drinks. Food was promptly served, didn’t feel we waited very long for our food. The desert we had was crème brûlée, we are not used to it being a cold desert. But was still very good tasting.  My wife’s filet mignon was cooked to perfection, and melted in the mouth. My prime rib tasted amazing as well. our potatoes maybe could have used a tiny bit more milk/butter as they were a little dry.

    Consistently top notch. Our group loved the creamy hummus with burnt ends and poblano, cedar planked salmon, fennel apple salad, squash dip with rose petal harissa, and the fluffiest pita bread. All were boldly flavored and outstanding. It’s a beautiful, cozy space as well. Wound up the evening with a wonderfully sweet and fragrant Turkish coffee. Perfect vibe inside for a chilly autumn night or enjoy the patio in the summer. Thank you, Yalla!

    We enjoyed a memorable evening at OK Omens last night. I started with the Fall Salad of Apples & Pears which had the most wonderful flavors. My husband's Torito Salad was also amazing. I had the Halibut for my main course, which was perfect. My husband's Pastitio was incredible. Our friends with us also enjoyed their meals. Our server was delightful. She was very detail-oriented & we were never without whatever we needed. I can't say enough positive things about our dining experience at OK Omens. We look forward to going back again soon!

    Chart House has been our go to restaurant for special occasions since moving to Portland in 2019. This Thanksgiving holiday was no exception. We had a wonderful traditional holiday dinner. The customer service was superb, and the staff function like a well-oiled machine. Our dinner was scrumptious and offered everything we would want for Thanksgiving. If you didn’t want traditional fare, you had plenty of options for vegetarian, fish, and beef entrees. Many thanks to the staff for making our Thanksgiving dinner a special one again.

    We were lucky enough to snag a table at the chef’s counter which is really a curved bar. We had an excellent experience with Ivan recommending half pours with each course. All the food was stellar, especially the sturgeon and duck confit. Don’t miss the orange cake. We love this place!
