Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Olney

The cod and market fish special were excellent. We started with the two different salads. We ended with the donuts, which were a bit much and not super special. We would have preferred a different dessert. We were celebrating an anniversary, and they did make it special with a bit of sparkling wine and a sparkler on the table, as well as a card. We saw a number of special celebrations for birthdays and such nearby. It is a nice place for a special night.

We used to frequent NYAJ, however, we lost enthusiasm because the menu seemed old and stagnant. What once seemed inventive or adventurous was beginning to feel outdated and repetitive. Our visits became much less frequent once we changed locations. This most recent dining experience was our first visit in about a year, and it felt like a pleasant surprise. For starters, the menus are different. The appearance and format alone can be welcome changes. I also liked how they added some new concepts such as two wraps on homemade wraps. That little touch made it feel different and creative.

Had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the chef make everything. Since we went on a Monday, wine was market price, so we enjoyed the salmon special and pork chop with a bottle of wine. Too bad they're closing the restaurant portion, because we would definitely go back. Looking forward to taking some cooking classes there though!
