Orama Restaurant

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great view of the city across the water.

This year old, want-a-be NYC gourmet comer gives you a beautiful riverside location with a NYC skyline views but is plagued with mediocre service and a displaced menu. We were told was Mediterranean with an Asian flair? Flamenco music and dancers at the bar? For a Friday night, the place was struggling to fill seats - was probable due to an over-priced menu and uninspiring chef. Long wait time for food. I had salmon, grill nicely, but the waiter never informed me that the fish was cooked medium rare. I was okay with it, but the couple behind us were not and sent 2 orders of salmon back to the kitchen. Salmon put on top of bed of arugula with carrot puree and baby carrots? Not good. My wife had an pan-seared, organic 1/2 chicken, pounded, oily, fatty and supposedly tri-colored potatoes that turned out to be all white potatoes and no vegetable or green garnish of any. Was a sad dish of all brown! Bottom-line, my wife sent the dish back after struggling to find a piece of chicken without fat. Best part the evening was the waiter. He removed the meal from the check. Was disappointed and sad that Edgewater NJ still cannot attract decent restaurants and top chefs.
