Everything here was phenomenal! I was back in town from Atlanta and everything from the food to the service and all the in-between was absolutely fantastic. We had Spanish chips, salad, steak, shrimp tapas, and it was all EXCELLENT.

we have driven by this place so many times and have been always wanting to give it a try. tonight we finally did - and it was pretty good. I think we will definitely go back again. while they do have a few entrees and a nice mix of specials, this place is predominantly a tapas joint. I had the goat cheese fritters which were amazing. I also had the ceviche special which was so interesting as it had pomegranate and blood orange in it. dessert was just okay. service was good. a little on the pricey side but the food was tasty. likely we will come again.

Squid ink pasta special with calimari (soooo tender) and a spicy tomato sauce

The most regular restaurant my husband and I dine at in the Rockland/Jersey area. I don't have the right words to express how consistently delicious the food is! We've been dining at Olar since the Piermont days. The food was breathtaking then and honestly, it remains as good, perhaps even slightly better, today which is so impressive! Everything from the chips, garlic shrimp and octopus appetizers- to the rosemary flatbread- to the pappardelle lamb ragu, sausage pea cavatelli- to the fish special, whatever it is- is so flavorful, creative, and truly amazing! If you go, plan to get there early for a drink because the bartender is so great, she makes very delicious (and strong!) drinks. Try the margarita or the espresso martini. They also have a nice wine list. Just go already!!

PROS: This is one of the most amazing restaurants in the area. Food is fresh and some of it is hand made, the staff is friendly, loads of room inside, good amount of parking, they turn tables over fast and everywhere is clean. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food CONS: On busy days, they don't space out reservations which causes 20 minute delays after your reservation time OVERALL: I highly recommend coming here, but I would do so when it's not a holiday

*4.5 - Everything that we ordered was great! The Chips are a must and are fried to perfection and a HUGE portion. I WISH there was a la carte dips! The mortadella pistachio pizza was spectacular, light, crispy and all quality ingredients. Garlic shrimp were a great size and had just the right amount of smoky paprika. Also ordered a side of cheese bread which is a must just to dunk on the leftover garlic oil. For mains ordered the Duck Ragu and Skirt Steak. The Duck ragu had good flavor, I just think this dish would have paired better with a different style pasta and could have used some finely grated cheese. The skirt steak was good, nice wood fired taste and great presentation. The service was super nice and professional but be prepared that this isn't a quick dinner. Prices were on the higher side but the quality showed.

From the moment my boyfriend and I were seated and looked at the menu, we knew we were going to love our meal at Olar Noso. This spot is about 40 minutes away but I would gladly make the drive for this excellent food. This is a tapas restaurant but they also have several regular side dishes to choose from including a large variety of pizzas! They do have a bar and a really interesting selection of cocktails. They all sounded delicious. We ordered a variety of things to share because why not? The best thing we ate was the fennel salad. Finely shredded fennel, thinly sliced apple, roasted nuts, the best shaved cheese, all tossed in the most perfect and light vinaigrette. We literally debated on taking one home it was that good!! In addition to this, we ordered oxtail empanadas, grilled octopus, Spanish fries, and a pizza. Everything was absolutely delicious. The portions were generous for tapas style. We surely didn't leave hungry and even brought home some leftovers. The hardest part was only picking a few things to try! I can't wait to return and try some of the other items on the menu. The service was also top notch. Everyone was attentive and very friendly. My water glass was never less than half full and our waitress kept checking in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. 5 stars for sure!!

Lots of shishito, had fun finding the spicier ones!

Our friends chose Olar Noso for a couples dinner. We had been meaning to try it for a while and foolishly hadn't. We were seated pretty quickly for a 7:30 Friday reservation. Place is very popular, so a reservation seems to be a must for popular times. The restaurant decor is fun, filled with vibrant colors. Noise level was reasonable for us to hold a conversation. Our waitress was very pleasant and helped with some recommendations. Hard to wait for paragraph 3 to discuss the main event, the food! This is definitely a "foodie" restaurant. They have a new specials menu daily. The night we were there, I didn't even need to open the regular menu. (I did anyway, just to be sure) My friend and I shared all six of the tapas on the special menu, a bit extreme perhaps but certainly worth it. Iberico ham, crab cakes, shishito peppers, ceviche, sourdough with burrata, peaches and ham, and cauliflower with raisins and pine nuts were all plentiful and delicious! We added the wild boar papardalle from the regular menu to share as well, also a tasty dish. Our wives both went with the Olar salad, followed by a salmon entree and were happy as well. Our dessert selections were the ricotta cheesecake and the Nutella focaccia. We both preferred the decadent Nutella dessert but the cheesecake worked nicely with the fresh berries as well. My friend enjoyed one of their cocktails and our wives found the red sangria to be very smooth. Already looking forward to a return, as the daily change to the specials menu and the diversity of the regular menu ensures that a number of excellent experiences can be had at Olar Noso!

Scallop tapas on the special menu. Winner!!!!

I discovered Olar before it became Olar Noso, and it was a hole in the wall place in Piermont. I was so saddened to find out it closed after the pandemic. I'm still grieving the closure of Aquagrill in Soho, pizzeria Sirenetta in upper E side, and my favorite Mexican restaurant- Itztocan in E Village. To my relief, I found out about Olar's reopening in North Vale NJ by periodically searching for any news of it online. It was a loooooong wait, but so happy to have them in NJ side. I miss the homey vibe of the old Olar and the owner, but his son has taken up the torch, and is doing a fabulous job. The food is still the same and the service still feels warm and inviting. What I love about Olar Noso is their specials menu. I think it changes every week because I never get the same menu a week apart. The specials items sound so good that I rarely order from the regular menu because I don't know when the special items will reappear. The salad and fish dish on the special menu are usually on point and creative. I go often because I want to know what's the special of the day. As for the regular menu, my favorite is the mariscada salsa verde. Their salsa verde would make even old shoe leather taste good. Everything is seasoned perfectly and never salty. Since they often use ingredients that are in season, they are always fresh and high quality. We usually take pizza to go because there's just too much food, but we don't want to miss out on their pizza. Our fave are mushroom pizza and the artichoke pesto pizza. Very generous amount of toppings. My only gripe is that their pasta game isn't as consistent and strong as their pizza game. Sometimes the pasta is too al dente. I like al dente pasta, but it should have that bit of chewiness. Their pasta feels underdone and hard. One time the pasta was not drained too well and there was a bit too much water in the bottom of the bowl and diluted the sauce. I usually opt for their seafood dish than pasta, but my husband is a pasta fiend. We always say that we have to remember to ask the chef to go a minute longer in cooking the pasta, but we forget. If you get Liv as your server, you'll be very well taken care of. She's one of the best servers I've come across, and I eat out quite a bit. They now take CC, so no more making sure we have enough cash before heading out. Hopefully Olar Noso will be around for a long time. My heart can't take another restaurant closure.

Fried Goat Cheese comes with crostini was outstanding

Food (4.8), Service (4.8), Decor (4.1) This place is great. All of the dishes I show were delicious yet the lamb was a bit tough, but still very tasty. It's difficult to imagine better service, we ordered 6 dishes which came out 2 at a time. They changed silverware and cleaned the table 4 times! So nice and thoughtful staff, the owners are out and about, involved with the action. If they took credit cards, service would move to 5.0. The decor is nice, yet VERY noisy. The two of us could talk but not intimate. They evidently tried adding cork to the ceiling yet it is still very noisy when they are full, which i understand is most evenings. As was mentioned by others, the Spanish Fries are killer good. It's a huge amount of chips so we took some home. The octopus is very tender and very tasty, as is the calamari which comes with a couple of shrimp and vegetables. Also mentioned they offer some great cocktails as well as some select brews and wines. The tab was on the very high side, but as they say you get what you pay for...

What a great meal! If you liked Olar in Piermont, you will love Olar Noso! They kept their amazing chef and moved to a bigger more spacious location in Northvale NJ! Plenty of self parking. Reservations are a must and from what the Maitre d' told me they take "day of" reservations starting at 1:30pm. Even on a Wednesday the place was packed. The menu is not extensive but full of tapas and small plates. Lots of seafood options. They have quite a pizza and salad menu. There were only a few entrees with just one steak option. We tried their Calamari misto from the app menu and the baked clams special. For entrees we had the Mariscada with green sauce which had yellow rice in the base of the broth instead of crustini's. I really liked everything. The food was good and the service was very attentive and professional. If you are looking for space in between you and the next table, this is not the place. They have a full bar but their focus seems to be on wine and sangria. I would say it's a great place for couples and small groups. I wouldn't bring kids. It's pretty loud so if you are looking for quiet and intimate this is not the place. I would definitely go back, but would forego the entrees and choose a bunch of the tapas plates and maybe a small pizza to share. The salads also looked great! I think this location is going to be very successful and look forward to going trying it again! read more

All the horror stories you heard when they first opened were mostly true. But no more. The owners listened and responded accordingly. The noise level has been mitigated to average to loud, as opposed to deafening. The food is still outstanding, top notch in this area. Brenda in the bar is attentive, friendly and courteous.

The place is warm, comfortable and the staff is excellent. One of the rare places that we can bring our kids and still feel like we are not disturbing anyone. FOOD: The Paella is so phenomenal. Large portions, filled with Shrimp, Scallops, Mussels, Clams, Chorizo, Pollo, just so great!!!! Like Spain but only 8 minutes from home. BAR: The bartenders are kind and knowledgeable and they make great cocktails. Try the Blueberry Mojito. Great Bear and wine Choices. Alagash White!!!! Boom.

Food was fine. Not best at all. Service was excellent. Notified when presenting bill that restaurant is cash only. Absolutely no indication when we walked in or on menu or when we sat down to place our order. Waiter stated there is a cash machine if you need to pay the bill. Spoke with manager and explanation was it's on social media (mind you there is no web site) and we've been this way since Piermont so you should know. I've been to places cash only. It's fine and we know going in because it's told and advertised. Sneaking a couple in and using your cash machine as means to pay a bill. Disgusting how you can get away with not telling people you are cash only until bill is served read more

Went with a group of 8. Asked ahead if there was a quieter area in which to be seated but was told there was not. The food was great, the selection was wonderful, the tapas were delightful. Everyone at the table enjoyed the food. The noise level was incredible. We could only talk with the person next to us if we leaned toward them. A friend across the table from me joked that we should just text each other. I might go back on an early weekday night but only if the parking lot was not too busy. If you want a place to talk to friends this is not it. Walking into the quiet of the parking lot was a relief. We all felt that we would be hoarse later like we had attended a concert.

Because the dining room is relatively small, expect a noisy environment. Weekend waits can be long because of this restaurant's popularity, but it is so worth the wait. If one arrives early, there will be no problem with sitting at the bar or nabbing a table. The staff is friendly, the clientele is neighborly, and you're guaranteed to enjoy your restaurant experience here. For Piermont, it's one of the strongest dining experiences available, particularly if one enjoys sharing plates. If you're going for the first time, I'd order the garlic shrimp, a few tapas to share, and one of the paellas for the table. Thank you Benny for bringing Piermont to our neighborhood. *For those across the river in Westchester, enjoy Basque in Tarrytown.

Nestled just a stone's throw from the Tappan Zee Bridge, the intimate Spanish restaurant offers an experience that is both approachable and memorable. Where some menus can overwhelm diners with endless selections and unfamiliar terminology, Basque takes a more refined approach. The menu is modest yet thoughtfully curated -- ideal for those exploring Spanish cuisine for the first time. Begin with a selection of tapas before choosing from one of their signature paellas, including seafood, meat, vegetarian, or surf-and-turf options. Pair the meal with a pitcher of sangria and settle in while the kitchen prepares a dinner worth savoring alongside good conversation. Beyond the meal itself, the village of Piermont provides the perfect setting for an evening stroll along the river. It is a charming way to end the night before heading back across the Hudson and down into New Jersey.

Too much rice in every plate and not enough beans though. I really do t know if during lunch time all that food was freshly cooked and juicy and just got dried up by dinner time. I might give it another chance if I am in the area and super hungry, cos it was generously served.

The price felt fair for the quality of the experience, and I was honestly surprised -- my wife usually isn't a big tipper, but this time the service truly earned it.

The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.

Authentic Taste of El Salvador - A Hidden Gem…read more We were on the hunt for authentic pupusas and struck gold with this small, hole-in-the-wall spot that delivers big on flavor and tradition. With an extensive menu full of classic Salvadoran options, we ultimately chose the pupusas revueltas, filled with chicharrón (pork rinds), frijoles (beans), and cheese. They were freshly made, so we did wait about 35 minutes--but it was absolutely worth it for the taste and quality. The accompanying green and red sauces were excellent complements, though a word to the wise: the red sauce (which is more orange in color) packs serious heat. If you love spicy food, you're in for a treat--but it might deserve a little PSA for the uninitiated! They also offer a wide selection of aguas frescas. I tried the jamaica (hibiscus juice), and it was refreshing and flavorful. The prices are very affordable, the portions generous, and beyond pupusas, the restaurant offers a variety of Salvadoran snacks, candies, chips, and even ice cream--perfect for anyone wanting to relive the flavors of home. A special thanks to Brenda, who curated a playlist of classic cumbia music that gave the whole experience a warm and nostalgic vibe. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Salvadoran food.

The atol de elote was fantastic, served piping hot, it featured sweet corn flavor and a great mouthfeel. The tres leches cake was a wonderful version, the icing was great and the cake texture was perfect to absorb just the right amount of "leches". Prices were very reasonable. Looking forward to returning for more of the same dishes and to try the entrees!

Like a lot of these spots, the tables are very close to each other so don't expect privacy especially if you're just two people. They have a decent menu with pita sandwiches, salads, appetizers, souvlaki platters, seafood and a kids menu, as well as specials. We enjoyed the falafel pita ($12.75, not dry and soft pita, hummus sauce but no tzaziki) and the shrimp platter ($25, on a bed of pita bread, fries [similar to diner fries] and a small side of pilaf rice for $4.5). It would have been nice if both entrees came with a side salad (or something) to complete the meal. I had my eye on the moussaka but there was no vegetarian version and they didn't have a spanakopita platter either. Also no complimentary pita, tapenade or chips, unlike some other Greek places. Since they seem to be pretty busy, service is fine and tries to keep it moving. Some people entered and had to wait for a table but staff didn't seem to rush anyone who was languishing a bit out. There was a steady stream of customers and takeout orders which likely speaks to a consistent experience. Their to-go bags were actually blue reusable bags, which I thought was a nice touch. Bring cash because credit card orders tack on almost 4% to the bill. The location isn't the best atmosphere wise (shopping plaza near Shop Rite and next to a Jersey Mike's) - small but not intimate - but on the plus side, parking is easy. If you miss the turn and go into Shop Rite, you can still get to the restaurant without going back on the main street.

I am going to start the review off by saying the service is not good and probably its bad. It reminds of being in ITaly or Spain where they just have no sense of customer service, or at least not to the extend Americans expect it however usually the food is amazing. I always have fish or pasta, one time i had fried anchovy something i have never heard of but it was amazing. The pizza looks amazing but i never tried it. I am one of those people who dont mind bad service if the food is worth it and i would say 5 sars for the food is well deserved, i i can ignore the bad service when i get really good food. I recommend the this place for the food experience. read more
