We used to love OK Omens. Super fun wine list with a ton of great new finds! The wine is still great, but the food was not as good as we recalled. We may come back for wine, but it won't be a rush

It's all about flavor at OK Omens. Every dish is a piece of artwork on your palate. Gorgeous wine that fit our mushroom pasta and shrimp panzanelle perfectly. And the brownie with malted milk ice cream? Yes please!

The atmosphere of OK Omens is really cute. The beet salad was really good! We also ordered the cauliflower soup, cacio e pepe mushroom pasta, and the duck, which were all just ok. They were all really tangy, and the tang overpowered the rest of the dish so it was really hard to enjoy the whole meal.

Adding 23% automatically (for all party sizes) to the bill is fine if the food and the service back it up, but they don't. The owners say that 3% goes to cover the health care costs of the employees, which sounds great, but considering how expensive this place place is, why can't the owners just pay the health care themselves like every other business, instead of passing it on to the diners?The message is "we are too cheap to pay for health care, so the diners can pay it".Our server told us she doesn't even get paid health care because she is part time and many of the staffers are also part time!If the 3% for health care doesn't go to the staff, who gets it?? If you guessed "the owners pocket", you're probably right!Do they stop charging the 3% when the health care costs have been fully paid? I doubt it. Scam operation by greedy owners.

What a neighborhood gem! The Marinated Ahi is good, a bit salty, but the Shiso Gelee was amazing. The stars of the evening were the sweet and salty white cheddar beignets and the Tepache Mountain and Omens Winter Old Fashioned. The Fried Chicken Torito salad and Crispy Duck leg were not far behind, very well prepared and yummy. Looking forward to going back and trying other menu items!

Regardless of how good the food is (or isn’t), or how good the service is (or isn’t) you’re required to tip 23%. Tremendously presumptuous. Won’t be coming back on principle. That said, totally support the 3% wellness fee and love the plants, atmosphere and decor. I can tell the Wagyu is good but I just can’t taste anything except the salty sauce they poured on top. Other reviewers have made similar observations. This place does have potential but I would have been happier spending the $60 almost anywhere else.

The basil ice cream dessert was to die for! As was everything else we ate. Inventive and exciting can only begin to describe our experience here. From all the beautiful natural lighting, to a bathroom amusingly decorated with bottles, to a wine list that made me giggle, this place earned a permanent spot on my must eat list for all my visiting friends.
We will definitely go back. We had a wonderful experience. The waitstaff was top notch; helping a novice wine drinker pair a great bottle wine with our meal. The food was excellently prepared. 1 starter, 1 salad and 2 entrees was more than enough food for 2. The value exceeded the price paid. Again, we will enjoy this restaurant again!!! Thank you for the great experience.
Went with my girlfriend, for the happy hour oysters and riesling. Wound up riding a bunch of food and drinks. Everything, was elevated in taste and experience. Waiter, made great recommendations, space is simple but well designed. It was early and only about a dozen people so we had no trouble getting service. Would recommend you check it out.
Fantastic bar, great food, cozy ambience while still being modern. Amazing personnel, really informed and happy to share. Tips are already calculated and included and we still added more - well deserved but also priced in such a way you want to do more for everything you get!

Personal, unobtrusive service. A great menu. Get the cheese plate. Extra bread? No problem. French sparkler by the glass. Seafood, pasta, steak, burger and more. High quality preparation and presentation. Small, cute room w/bar. Wines by the bottle start at $55+ and likewise the entrees—maybe not the place if you're on a tight budget at the moment. Recommend!

Went here to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and the whole party left still hungry. Most of us ordered appetizers, along with the wagyu steak, and we each felt like that itself was a small meal for a main dish. It just honestly felt over priced for the portions.

We went for Valentine's Day. Everything we ordered was fantastic and came to our table quickly. The hostess was friendly, and the wait staff was efficient. They have a great wine selection, and their cocktails are poured with a generous hand. Areas to improve might be the dessert menu. It only had a few options and none of them appealed to me, so I skipped dessert and went someplace else.
