   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.

   Great experience with amazing food. I had the chicken & Waffles for brunch, and my girlfriend had fish and Parmesan grits. We were in awe how good both dishes were. Looking forward to having dinner there soon!

   The food and service were excellent. Because I had a Groupon my daughter and wife were hesitant. But they loved it!

   We found this place when searching online and booked on a whim. It did not disappoint. The ambiance was wonderful, the food amazing and the service excellent. A treat, in every way. Thank you for a great evening

   The ambiance was great, and the food was delicious. I had the chicken and waffles, and my friend had the fish and grits.

   Chez Omar Restaurant is a good place to go for dinner or small social get together. It has a separate bar from the dining area. The dining area was quaint and clean. It's a great place for private dining. The food and beverages were great, especially the crab cake. The only issue we had was there was no heat in the place. We had to eat with our coats on. This was my first time going, so I would return to see how it is in better condition.

   I enjoyed the food and am happy to have this new charming Caribbean restaurant in the neighborhood. The staff were very nice. The cocktails were inconsistent, with some quite tasty while others not good.

    The restaurant was beautiful nice ambiance and the service was great. However my steak was very tough and the food was cold by the time we got it. The place itself was very very cold, which may have made the food cold. They ran out the of the mimosas so we had rum punches which were okay.
