Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Joel Stocks

From the OpenTable editors: One of the New York Times's 50 favorite restaurants of 2024, L'Orange charms with its refined, Pacific Northwest-influenced Mediterranean small plates and superbly curated wine in a homey, cozy atmosphere. The combo quickly captivated local critics and diners, who show up in droves for dishes like roasted garlic soup with grapes or poached and grilled cauliflower with curried granola. It all obviously pairs beautifully with owner Jeff Vejr's large, varied selection.


Philosophy

At L'Orange we hope to transport you back to a time when full service dining was the norm. We hope that you feel the warmth of our space, the ease of our hospitality, and the delicious layers of flavors that our food and wine provide.

    Exceeded expectations! We sat at the bar which was casual but elegant at the same time. Split both salads (warmed broccolini was the winner), bread and butter, a bottle of Albariño which paired perfectly with every dish. I had the pasta which tasted like a lemon scented garden and Isaac had the sturgeon which was perfectly smoked. Our hostess comped us a ribbon of cheese to go with our orange cake for dessert. We tasted every flavor for hours afterwards.

    Our L'Orange dining experience tonight was another memorable experience at this restaurant! Out of the ordinary cuisine: salads, crêpe and sturgeon; all presented and described by our wonderful server, David.

    Absolutely wonderful food! We had the asparagus, crepe, duck confit, and orange cake. Every item was prepared carefully and was extremely fresh and flavorful. Wine list is good, though prices by the glass seemed quite high.

    Food and wine were excellent. The wines were expensive, $16-28 a glass but were excellent. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were out of this world amazing. The appetizers, celery soup and pate tartlet were outstanding with fabulous taste depth and textures. The salads, brassicas and house, were flat and nothing to write home about. The portions were good sized for sharing. They had a lot of crunchy bits on them but were missing fat and acid for some flavor. Something salty like cheese would have been appreciated. The entrees, duck confit and sturgeon, were good but not fabulous. The duck was sousvided and fortunately not too dry. Beans in the dish were fresh and had good texture. The fennel was done 3 ways in the duck confit and it was nice without being overpowering, but it was lacking fat and salt for that luscious mouth feel I expect with duck. The sturgeon was ok, it’s not the best fish to start with and it was a tad overcooked, but the chickpea sauce was delicious and made up for it. We would like to see a better fish next time, maybe sea bass, halibut, or swordfish. It was worth trying the sturgeon as it was an interesting choice. Desserts and coffee were all delicious. We loved the ambience: great colors; comfortable seats; no loud music. We would return based on the fabulous building, wines, appetizers, and desserts.

    This place is a real gem. Excellent food, hospitable staff, great atmosphere, good value for money. Will definitely go again. The hamachi and mushroom crepes were out of this world.

    We were so excited to try this restaurant. We walked in and no one talked to us. We finally got seated at the bar and the bar keeper was rude and not engaged. We were seated an hour after our reservation time and the poor service continued. We had himachi that was so fishy and warm that we sent it back. Such a disappointment. My friend was visiting from San Francisco, how embarrassing.
