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.

I had dinner twice and lunch once within the last 6 weeks with my wife and friends. From start to finish each time was delightful. The restaurant is in a beautiful country-like setting away from any commercialism. The staff is welcoming, very professional and attentive. The interior ambience is very lovely and a terrific setting for intimate or family get togethers. The menu is extensive and the food very good. The portions are sizable and presented beautifully. I would characterize the restaurant as continental It is definitely not like the typical red sauce Italian restaurant that dots Bergen County. On both dinner occasions my wife ordered ribeye steak. The quality and preparation was excellent and was surpassed many of the steaks gotten at so called finer steakhouses. The tempo of the service was perfect as well. We really felt well served. To top things off several bottles of complimentary after dinner liquors were brought to the table. I've recommended this restaurant to foodie friends and look forward to returning. An all around delight!

Russell has done a wonderful job incorporating a sports bar feel but in a modern way, along with live music at night. The food is excellent. I'm used to 5 star restaurants in Manhattan and its always a pleasure to go to Stern & Bow with my wife and kids. The drinks are A+. The bartender remembered how I like my Old Fashioned (the traditional way). For that, they get an A+. Decor A+. Staff A+. Valet Parker!!!! A++
