I ate here before going to see Dennis Miller. I enjoyed the chef action and the interesting cooking station but didn't enjoy the food so much. The oysters were kinda meh and the oyster shooters were disgusting. My clam linguine was excellent but there was way too much of it. They mention this on the menu but I didn't believe them.
I'd have to say that there aren't too many choices at Orleans but I'd go to Canal St. next time.
