   Made a reservation in advance to sit at the counter with an old friend and they are the best seats in the house. Had the chicken liver starter, chicory salad and confit and shared everything. Did glass pours and had a bubbly, white and red. We really loved it. Great service too. AND the music is not so loud so you can actually talk.

   French with some twists. We loved all our dishes- soup, liver pate, cauliflower salad, Duck and pork crepe plus dessert the amazing L’Orange cake. Great service, thoughtful descriptions of the dishes.

   It was a wonderful meal at L’Orange. Every dish we had was full of flavor and well-executed. The duck confit was so tender, it almost felt like pork belly or a tender shank. We managed to snag one of the limited Chicken Liver tarts with a plum jam and it was decadent. I enjoyed the lamb crepe, which was like a French burrito. For desert, we had the famous Orange cake with a crème brûlée style top. It was quite nice, but my favorite desert was the Earl Grey ice cream topped with crumbled shortbread. I also enjoyed the two wines I had that are made by one of the owners. While they were quite slammed due to an issue with reservation software, the service was friendly and knowledgeable. The set up of the restaurant was quirky and our table faced other tables in a way that felt almost like communal dining. We are quite social so we enjoyed this setting, but it is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a more romantic dinner. The decor was fun with bright patterned wallpaper. It is a steal for the quality of the food in my opinion. I am sure the prices will change with them being listed as one of the Top 50 restaurants in the country by the New York Times. Highly recommend it.

    One of the best dinners of the year. So many memorable dishes. Never had a cheese rosette before. But the way the cheese was cut made it so memorable. And the cheese itself was fantastic. At first I just thought, "Good cheese." But then these layers of flavor kept coming in with complexity after complexity. We had a bottle of orange Viognier made by the owner. It complemented everything, and everything differently. Each different dish brought out a different side of the wine. The soup was, well, I've never had a french onion soup like it. The crispy cheese basket and bread pudding croutons... I mean bread pudding croutons? Who does that? Oh L'Orange dose. So much flavor. And it was vegetarian! Only found out after. Never would have thought so. So much depth of flavor. So many places have a fried cauliflower appetizer now, but they poach and grill theirs to again, layer the flavor. Best duck I've ever had. Who knew it's better cooked confit, then boned and reassembled into a mini duck loaf crisped all over in duck fat. And that sturgeon. Holy hell, that's one of the best fish dishes ever. And the most expensive thing on the menu is $30. In 2024, for food of that quality, such good value for money. Even the cake was extra special. Even at fancy places, it might have some whipped cream, maybe a little sauce. Their orange cake is bruleed and then has these little bright orange globules of flavor dotted around it. Can't remember if they were more acidic, sweet, or both. But just so, so good. Would most definitely return. There are so many surprises on the menu. The way the cheese is presented, the cauliflower preparation, the fish that's so much more, the cake with unexpected bits and bobs. I'm excited to order differently the next time, because, well, so many more surpises! The main server who helped us was a pure delight. Just one of the most charming people you'll ever meet.
