Olar Noso

Three of us had dinner last night at Olar and the food was very good. The special salad of frisée, mushrooms, butternut squash, chestnuts and truffle oil was inspired and delicious. The bacalao croquettes were good but a bit more salty than usual according to my friend who shared and recommended the place. The salmon special with orange was also very good. The skirt steak presentation was lovely and came out with a burning Rosemary sprig - large tasty portion. Portion sizes were good. Deserts were fine but not wow - we had the pan a cotta and the molten chocolate cake which was thankfully not overly sweet but missing something. It was unusually quiet probably due to it being a Wednesday night and a Jewish holiday. Good service although the waiter did forget to bring us the mushroom pizza we ordered.

This is a Spanish restaurant. With the typical Spanish fare. paella, mariscada, shrimp and garlic and the like. The good... The staff and owners are very friendly and attentive. The Spanish fries are amazing with a slight spice, not greasy , served warm, highly recommended(go just for the fries and a few cocktails). The Pizza made in the brick oven also very good. I go to Olar for some of its appetizers and pizza with the spanish fries. The cons... Many seemed to like the paella but its just not the way I prefer to have mine prepared. It seemed a little mushy and bland and the amount of seafood it contained was just barely enough for the serving bordering on adequate but no more . Not to mention quite pricey. The prices for the traditional entrees and cocktails are quite high for what you get. Olar is very popular and fills up quick so make reservations well in advance or get there early. Its a beautiful brick oven. Get a warming oven to put the pizza in boxes in . ( looks tacky on top of that awesome oven) the decor in Olar is beautiful.

We just had dinner at Olar Noso!! Outstanding !!! We were a table of 8. From the moment we arrived we were impressed. Our table was waiting for us and we were seated immediately!! We ordered several appetizers . All were excellent. The salmon was delicious!! The pasta dishes were amazing but the paella was the best I’ve had. We made a reservation to come back next weekend

The absolute best! If I could make this 6 stars and declare it my favorite restaurant, I would. The place is small and quaint. The staff is super friendly. The place was super packed but they made room for us. Cannot emphasize this enough. They are super nice. The food is out of this world. We had pizza, ceviche, meatballs, fried grapes. OMG. Do not miss an opportunity to come to this restaurant. WARNING - CASH ONLY!

Thankfully we were able to be added to an existing reservation of friends. We arrived at 4pm on Sunday. By the time we left the place was nearly filled. We had the sangria which was light and not sweet. Potato chip app was slightly spicy and a hit. The polenta with Gorgonzola app was disappointing. The flavors weren’t distinct enough and the presentation seemed lacking. All the entrees were exceptional. The skirt steaks were tender and well seasoned, the salmon was beautiful, didn’t have, my lamb ragu pappardelle with ricotta salata was amazing just wish I had a few more ribbons of pasta. Do not miss the panna cotta and flan. The service was top notch, eager and genuinely polite.
