    Chez Omar is a quiet, intimate dining room facing the Christopher Street Pier on the Hudson. The ambience is an antidote to the more typical Manhattan jostling, noisy restaurant scene. The endive and chèvre chaud salads were both fresh, generous and tastily dressed. The risotto au Safran was a standout, creamy and filling, stuffed with vegetables. Lamb chops (four to a serving), were a little rarer than we'd ordered and a little over-sauced but tender and tasty, served with broccoli rabe, green beans and roasted carrots. Wine choices by the glass were mostly from small producers, and inexpensive. Overall, I wish this new restaurant (it opened 9 months ago) well-deserved success, and look forward to returning.

    This was an amazing dining experience. The wine pairings were on par with every dish or moment during the dinner. The dishes were perfectly proportioned. Now, I am not a fish person, but the bronzing was on point; I might have to convert. The potato croquettes were speaking to my soul. The Blonderys blondies three ways perfectly finished off this amazing evening. 👏🏾
