I'm a foodie who has eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world. If I were not, I would have given this place 5 stars. Because my husband and I were looking for tapas more than a heavy dinner, we ordered appetizers and sides instead of entrees. The braised short rib appetizer was to die for! Order it if you're even slightly inclined. It was served on mushroom caps which were equally delicious. Though I've had better elsewhere, the crab cakes were also worth ordering, as was the carpaccio - though I did use the lemon from the crab cakes to add a touch of acid the dish needed. The mashed potato and blue cheese scalloped potatoes I would definitely order again. The Brussels sprout side, while happily generous with the pecans and savory onions, was lacking both acid and salt. The Kobe meatballs were meh - the gravy was heavy when it could have been bright, and the meatballs were on the dry side. Overall, I highly recommend a meal here if you find yourself at or near The Orleans.
