 Oya Restaurant & Lounge Restaurant Review: Oya has evolved into more than a glitzy backdrop for the über-cool social scene. Indeed, the décor of white leather and marble blends with pizzazz against a striking chain-link curtain to go with the floor-to-ceiling Capiz shells. In the French-Asian genre you have small and big plates, and sides are referred to as micro plates. The apple-jicama salad is a refreshing meal starter, and may be followed by the chef’s pork ribs with a selection of soy, barbecue or ginger accents, or the comfortably rich Peking crêpes with duck confit. For a finale-like small plate, try the rather straightforward herb-crusted lamb with coarse grain mustard to complement the rich meaty bites. Oya is all about options, with a filet or the scallops with pad thai noodles available as big plates. Add in a sushi menu, a $30 prix-fixe meal, and an ambitious, enthusiastic sommelier and dinner can be an adventure. There is an enlightened saké menu that adds another dimension to the beverage program. From day one, the best dessert has been a banana bread-and-butter pudding with rum raisin ice cream and caramel sauce. It’s still true today. |
