We shared oysters, trying four each from different areas (and coasts) and a few of the signature cocktails to start. The server took great pride in explaining the details and did an outstanding job.\n\nFor our mains, my fiancee had a seafood special which was truly wonderful. The fish was seared perfectly and the sauce was outstanding. I had the braised boar shank.... I eat a lot of braised dishes and this was one of the best I've had. The meat fell from the bone (as it should), but the sauce was so complex and perfectly constructed that it elevated the dish to a new level.\n\nI've dined at L'Orignal twice now... both times with a flawless experience. Will definitely go back again!"^^ .
