  • The atmosphere of Origins is more of a romantic setting. However, most of the booths are for larger parties. There is a giant bar right in the middle of the restaurant and they have a good selection of beers to choose from. For the appetizers, you have to get the beet salad. I've tried a lot of the appetizers and the beet salad is out of this world. The crispy calamari is also very good as I've never tried it with mango nor pineapple. The chinois duck is considered a sandwich course but it won't really fill you up so get it as an appetizer and share it. It's kind of like the Peking Duck that you can get at any Chinese restaurant. The Yucutan Fish tacos are also really good. If you go with a group of people, order a bunch of appetizers and share them. There are a lot to choose from. For the main courses, you have to get the 32 oz beef ribeye. The chimicurri sauce is disappointing but the ribeye is really really good. Get it with a side of bak choy and brussel sprouts and you will be set. Everyone needs to try the table side liquid nitrogen ice cream parlor for dessert. They literally make the ice cream at the table using liquid nitrogen. This is served on a gorgeous fruit platter and you eat everything together. The flavor of the ice cream is always changing. They had the vanilla flavor the time I tried this and I personally think that the liquid nitrogen removed a bit of the taste of the vanilla but seeing them make ice cream with the fruits was an experience. The only problem I had was that I am kind of lactose intolerant and they used a lot of cream to make the ice cream so I had to rush back to my house to do a #2. You do need to check out the bathrooms. They have the high school type sinks where you have to use the foot pedal to turn on the water. This is the fountain type sink where everyone uses the same sink and the water comes out in the middle. My girlfriend (being from Brazil) had never seen this before so she had no idea how to turn the water on and ended up with a bunch of soap on her hands and no way to wash her hands. I got a good laugh out of this. The first time I came to Origin was after they had re-designed their menu. My parents told me that the original reviews were terrible because the the menu was completely over-priced and the portion size was too small. People would actually have to go to another restaurant after eating at Origins because they didn't get enough food and didn't want to buy another main course. However, after changing their menu, the serving sizes became bigger. The price is still on the higher side and I wouldn't come back here on a regular occasion. This would be more of "on special occasion" for me.
