Ok Omens

My son had asked for some recommendations for natural wine bars in the Portland area. Ok Omens came highly recommended for both their wine selection and their delicious food menu.We made a reservation for Friday evening, our final night in Portland before heading home. The server greeted us warmly and sat us outside in their patio. It was a nice evening and the shaded area was perfect. We ordered the Jamon Iberico for our appetizer and it was incredible- the shaved ham paired perfectly with the charred levain sourdough. I had a summer old fashioned which was delicious. For my entree, I had the pork chop with peppercorn caper sauce, charred shishito peppers, and crispy fries. It was delectable paired with the French Syrah, tart and perfectly viscous. We also tried a few desserts, a stone fruit (grilled peaches) and vanilla ice cream and a mascarpone dish and fruit and pavlova pieces. Yum!Everything was thoughtfully prepared and our server made excellent recommendations. It was a delightful experience!

Came here this weekend with a group of friends around 8 and essentially had a private dining experience. There's plenty of drink options, including zero proof options, with cute witty descriptions. The table ordered oysters, cheese, and bread for appetizers. Next time I would probably skip the bread/butter since the bread is the same served with the cheese plate so it felt mute when ordered. The oysters were the best of the appetizers, so I highly recommend them!For dinner, we had the pasta, fish, and salad (and fries). All were truly amazing, flavorful, and filling. The mushroom pasta is something I'll be coming back for.Service was excellent and felt attentive but not overbearing.The price was fair, and for drinks, appetizers, and entrees, it was on the cheaper side of Portland's fine dining.Parking was easy to find and accessible to the restaurant.

Everything I've had here was so delicious. The oysters, pork, halibut, salads, grilled bread-- everything. I've really enjoyed their cocktails and wine selection too. I'm not a sweet tooth, but their desserts are seriously special. Justin Woodward is brilliant. Portland is so lucky to have him.

This place was just ok ~ $$$Service was not ok. The waitress was just not into serving us. We tried to enjoy the evening to pair a dish as we drink. No enthusiasm when we asked for recs, plainly took the orders whenever she decided to come by.Cute corner, cozy inside.However, the overpriced wine needs to match spirited service. Nothing more annoying than experiencing poor service with a surprise auto gratuity :/

The house made tonic was incredible. Enjoyed the toast too. Staff was pleasant and very attentive. 23% gratuity automatically added, which is on the menu and the staff tells you when they bring the check. Overall place had a great vibe. They said they will open up the patio end of May.

This intimate space was a special occasion destination back when it was Cafe Castagna, and most of the things that made it special in the past continue into the present. Plus, wine.Red meat is a relative rarity for me, pretty much reserved for when I know I'll be getting a really good burger, and burger quality remains high here. Add that to warm beignets filled with cheese and sprinkled with honey granules, and you have the makings of a really nice meal. Plus, wine.The options for wine by the glass were plentiful. And, considering the quality, the wine prices were very reasonable.Our server was very clear about their gratuity being added to the bill, so I appreciated a simple bottom line.

Finally made it here and just in time for happy hour. Was able to grab some fries and oysters which were delicious. The chicken was my favorite, just the right amount of spices and flavor and the dipping sauce complemented it well. Pasta was alright. The noodles were unique and made the dish. Automatic 20% gratuity here.

The service here rocks. Good fancy vibes. Happy hour oysters are fun and the desserts are cool!I would only go for a happy hour most likely. It gets pretty pricey

Opted for a cheaper drink option than an $18 glass of wine, but the drink selected was mediocre and made with lackluster ingredients. Perhaps wine is their specialty for a reason. As for the food, hard to say as all I could taste was salt, it was incredibly overwhelming.

We got here in time for the Happy Hour and the oysters were fresh and flavorful. The warm beignets were light and tasty. The crispy duck leg was extremely moist and tender. The service was a bit lacking however.
