• Mediterranean • Northvale
Booked 21 times today
From its humble beginnings in the quaint Hudson River town of Piermont, New York, Olar was known for serving up rustic Neapolitan pies, classic Spanish tapas, and hand crafted pastas that drew in both locals and foodies from all parts of New Jersey, upstate New York, and New York City and kept them coming back for over a decade.Now in its new location in Northvale, New Jersey, the restaurant, now known as Olar Noso - which means "our home" in Galego, the language spoken in Galicia where the Dominguez family is from - is an evolution in not only name alone.They have managed to scale the restaurant concept generously while replicating the quality and preserving the reputation the former Olar had garnered over the years. Evolving into Olar Noso meant giving Olar's loyal customers everything they loved, while also enhancing their experience with more seating, more elbow room, a full bar, a private event space, and, finally, ample parking.

    We were there for a special occasion with a large party (20+ individuals) for Saturday lunch. We were tucked into a fairly private location. Service was outstanding by the server (Joseph), food runners and manager (Marcel), who were always coming back to check our drinks, pick up plates, and carve more meats! They also helped us prepare the cake we provided for the celebration. The salad bar and hot food selections were great and filling (so don't overdo this, if you plan to indulge in the rodizio). And don't forget to enjoy the Coelho Brazilian Grilling Cheese (with honey) and the Brazilian grilled pineapple! The staff was attentive and congenial.

    Lovely price fixed menu for Valentines Day, base portion size adequate, can easily be added to with bread course and extra's, service was attentive but not rushing with manager checking on satisfaction after first few swallows. Culinary expectations both met and exceeded. We'll be back, oops, said that the last time as well.
