Made reservations at Origin one Saturday night for four. The restaurant had an upscale vibe, trying to be trendy, but seemed very touristy.
We started off with some cocktails, the spicy Spanish fries and two different buffalo mozzarella dishes. All were delicious, and finished within minutes.
For my main I had the warm mushroom salad that had a fresh citric dressing which was a welcomed surprise, really complimented the dish. I also had the chance to take a few bites of the butternut squash risotto. Extremely rich, and creamy! You may have to share that dish with a friend if you're not good with something that is very heavy.
Overall, food is good, and service is fine. But this place lacks character or passion. It seems like any other restaurant near by (Joey's, Earls, Milestones, etc.), filled with tourists who like to depend on reliable places.
