Orsa & Winston

A chic Michelin 1star restaurant in DTLA. Menu is very simple but you’d be surprised by how many “gifts/dishes” chef send you. You’ll end up having way more than what’s indicated on the menu. Definitely full after the meal. All ingredients are fresh and delicious. Not fishy at all. Ingredients compliment each other and create a beautiful harmony. I recommend adding the seafood porridge. It’s savory and delicious. 1 serving can be shared between 2 people. Services is to the standard. Seat arrangements are comfortable and provide enough privacy for each table.

Dishes with price–performance ratio is normal. I really not recommend this restaurant, the only thing I can do is make pics looks gud.

Amazing prix fixe experience. Small, intimate space that gives individualized service. We ordered the standard 5-course meal, but they threw in a few extras that were fantastic. They also accommodated for gluten sensitivity, which I was very appreciative of. The plates are small, but we left with very full stomachs. Nice wine and beer selection. Would definitely come back to experience this again!

Exceptional and very filling seafood focused tasting menu! My sister and I dined here to celebrate her birthday. The tasting menu has 5 courses and we also opted to get the add on seafood porridge. They ended up serving us 4+ extra courses as well so you get plenty of food! They started off with a warm savory soup with caviar. We then had a yellowtail fish with snow peas and okra. Our next course was dungeness crab with mandarin, pear persimmon, avocado, and parmesan. This was definitely one of the standouts for us! We were then served an extra course of Sacramento caught sturgeon with purple sweet potato. The next was a butternut squash ravioli with 3 cheeses and 2 types of truffle, which was another favorite! This was followed up with an extra course of Japanese needle fish with an asparagus broccoli veggie crossover and yuzu butter. The satsuki rice seafood porridge followed after. I wouldn't say it's necessary to get this dish if you're concerned about being hungry after. We enjoyed the rice porridge itself but weren't huge fans of most of the seafood in the porridge. The next course was a New Zealand fish with breakfast radish and trumpet mushrooms. An extra course of strawberry cornbread followed, which was excellent, and we finished off with a chocolate ganache with marscapone, poached pear, and caramel. Overall fantastic and delicious meal at an affordable price for a Michelin star restaurant and would highly recommend!

Positively delightful experience. Very high quality and delicious food, excellent beverage pairing, and a very cozy atmosphere. The tasting menu is advertised as only “5 courses”, but you get way more (see pictures). Reasonably priced for Michelin star standards.

Coming back for sure to try the fried chicken. Staff was very nice.

This was our first Michelin star experience in LA and we were quite impressed! The standout was surprisingly the beverage pairing, mostly European wine and one pouring of sake. The pairings all tasted great in their own, but with the food, the flavours were truly enhanced by each other! During our seating, the chef actually gave us a feel complimentary items which we very much appreciated! It seemed like the other tables did as well. While it was thoughtful, we actually felt like the complimentary items ruined the flow and rhythm of the tasting menu. We really appreciated the extra dishes but it kinda downgraded the experience actually…. Maybe they were trying new dishes? The actual items on the menu were very delicious, well thought out and creative. The salad and pasta dish were the most memorable!! In terms of the Japanese and Italian fusion, I did see elements of both but the dishes were leaning towards the Italian side. I want to say 30% Japanese and 70% Italian. Atmosphere-wise, I really like how it was a bit more casual. The open kitchen was very nice and they only had a few seatings so was a very intimate experience with my fiancé. WOULD I COME AGAIN? Yes, mainly because I was surprised by the beverage pairing and really appreciated it. I don’t feel like other restaurants truly do the beverage pairing this well and would want to come back to experience this again. The pritce point is also fair. I wouldn’t say the $$ was worth it in ingredients, but in the “art” of the dishes.

One of the best Michelin meals I have had that was also reasonably priced. Their wine selection is also unique
