    Great food and service. Michelin stars in the past years definitely worth trying all the unique specialties the chef has to offer!

    4.5/5 stars Came here to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a nice experience! This 1 star Michelin restaurant offers a 5-course tasting menu ($150 per person), but they added some extra dishes, which was nice! I would have loved if they gave us a print out of the dishes we ate. Overall, I enjoyed most of the dishes, except for the vegetable dish since the sauce was way too overpowering. Also, some of the dishes tasted too buttery, but they were still edible. The cornbread would have been better if it were hotter. The lobster pieces in the pasta could have been more tender. I think my favorite dishes were the scallops and the snapper. Service was great. The dishes came out quickly

    Orsa & Winston was a fantastic meal from start to finish! This was my first experience dining at a Michelin star restaurant and it lived up to expectations with the service, food quality, dish presentation, and delicious and unique flavors! FAST FACTS: * Parking - There's a few options for street parking nearby as well as some paid lots and garages. * Reservations - Required and can be made through OpenTable up to 3 months in advance (credit card required to hold the reservation) * Closed Sunday and Monday * 5-course tasting menu with Japanese and Italian inspired dishes (changes daily) * Optional beverage pairing available * No takeout or outdoor seating available SERVICE - Our server, Romain, took great care of us overall! We arrived a few minutes before our reservation time and were seated right away. The courses came out quickly and our plates were cleared as soon as we finished. There was a longer gap between when we finished our fish course and when the sweet course was brought out... we were the last one in the restaurant but sat for about 15 minutes after finishing eating the fish course before anyone came over to clear our plates and bring the last course. Otherwise, it was a great experience! PRICING - The total was $328.50 after tax ($28.50) but before tip for two tasting menus ($150 each). I think the pricing was reasonable for the overall experience considering you get extra "gifts" from the chef which extends the meal to around 9 courses. I wish I could remember all the details of the ingredients and flavors combined for each course but everything was delicious! Here's a quick rundown of the courses with an abridged description: Amuse-bouche - Japanese custard with caviar Crudo- bluefin tuna with watermelon and peppers Vegetable - carrots, radishes, cauliflower, and greens in a ginger-based dressing with shaved truffles "Gift" from the chef - zucchini with red peppers, truffles, and a dill sauce Pasta - squid ink pasta topped with lobster, Japanese sweet tomatoes, pine nuts, and grana padano in a cream-based sauce "Gift" from the chef - cod and broccolini with tomatoes, peach, and a crispy potato Fish - red snapper with asparagus, tomato, roasted cocoa beans, blueberries, avocado, and greens in a sauce with a balsamic drizzle Blueberry cornbread - shareable skillet served with the fish and topped with a honey butter Sweet - apricots with a streusel topping, panna cotta, and an apricot drizzle Brown butter cookie I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to more gourmet dining so take my opinion for what it is, but I was impressed with the experience overall and I'd recommend Orsa & Winston to others!

    Late to review, but went for a birthday celebration for my partner. Absolutely fantastic food and plating. Made it a really special night, never had a coursing menu before. Our waiters made the night very fun and memorable as well. Cute interior.
