OK Omens is a wine bar and restaurant in Portland, Oregon.[2][3]
Description[edit]
OK Omens, located in southeast Portland's Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood, has been described as a sibling restaurant to Castagna.[4][5] The menu has included burgers, duck leg, grilled squid, and oysters.[6][7]
History[edit]
The restaurant opened in June 2018,[8] replacing Cafe Castagna.[9][10] OK Omens has hosted a late night happy hour,[11] and had covered and heated outdoor seating during the COVID-19 pandemic.[12][13]
Reception[edit]
Michael Russell included OK Omens in The Oregonian's list of "Portland's 10 best new restaurants of 2018".[14] In 2019, the business was included in Wine Enthusiast's list of "America's 100 Best Wine Restaurants" and Willamette Week's list of "The Top Five Restaurants for a Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Dinner".[15][16][5]
Lonely Planet says, "OK Omens is a hit, not least for its epic wine list and menu of adventurous shareable dishes. Crowd favorites include a spicy Caesar-style salad with buttermilk fried chicken, hoisin-roasted carrots, adorable cheddar-filled beignets, crab pasta topped with thinly sliced jalapeños, and burgers." The website warns, "One caveat: noise level in the space can be deafening, so plan to sit close to your dinner date, or sit outdoors in warm weather."[17]
