Omar's usual "bottomless" salad bowl: greens accompanied by chickpeas, 
broccoli, croutons, and giant cherry tomatoes (on the other side of the 
bowl, hence not visible in this picture).  They provided two dressings: 
poppy seed, which I found a bit sweet, and blue cheese, which was 
incredibly thick and cheesy.  These were the same dressings they've 
provided on my past two visits to this restaurant, and I still don't 
like either.
I still liked the Omar's earthy bread.  Di Yin did not.
Butternut squash ravioli appetizer, served with brown butter.  I thought 
it was good, but Di Yin thought it was too sweet.  The sweetness is the 
natural sweetness of the squash.
"Tuscan fisherman's stew:  assorted fresh fish baked with calamari, 
shrimp, clams, mussels, potatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, Greek olives, and 
artichoke hearts in a savory tomato lobster broth."  Decent.  There were 
lots of fish.
