   So very worthy of the Michelin Star. Great value and unbelievable food and service. The wine list is perfect for the menus as well. Everything here is on point and highly recommend. Get there early grab a drink at Bar Ama next door.

   This restaurant went down hill, the food as well as service! Their Michelin star should be taken away! If you want to spend over $550 for mediocre food and be treated badly, this is the place to go. When it comes to food, only the chawanmushi and crudo were tasty, the special porridge was ok, but the main dish which was fish was not edible, we couldn’t chew through it, it was so over cooked, they replaced it but it was still dry and not tasty, not to mention it came with lentils that tasted like medicine. The soy desert was absolutely horrible, we couldn’t eat it at all. We brought our own wine and the waiter offered to open it, didn’t say anything about any corkage fee but in the end charged us $50, like really you won’t mention such a high fee?! We would have not opened it, especially since we bought one of their bottles as well. Most nice places waive the fee, especially if you buy their bottle and not to mention the classy places do it when it’s someone’s Birthday celebration. The waiter was so rude about it, saying that they normally don’t allow outside bottles, which would be fine but why didn’t he mention it in the beginning?! So unprofessional, my husbands Birthday was ruined all around and he had a stomach ache from questionable food.

   Absolutely amazing food. The Japanese pre-fix tasting menu with a few surprise courses (depending on the night) with Italian fusion was absolutely delightful. Each course provided flavor combinations I have never had anywhere before. A must visit in L.A. for a curious palate. The restaurant has limited seating which makes for an intimate setting - so everyone gets proper attention. The space is a simple open kitchen concept - so nothing special... so the focus is on the food.

    Always a treat. Delicious and original and great service, but pricey. One thing I would change is add Southern hemisphere red wines, especially Argentine Malbec and Australian Shiraz.

    Wonderful 5 course menu with 3 additional amazing little gifts from the chef. Best pasta I’ve ever had and who would ever think a celery root soup and raspberry sorbet would work together? Madness. The service was excellent our waiter charming. We will definitely return.

    Overal experience was all right. Price/ Quality not in line. The food overall was surprising and good. Refreshing combinations mainly fish based due to the menu at that moment. However, the service was moderate. Moreover, the ambience was cold. Too quiet, tiny setup of seating and cold temperature in the restaurant.

    Awful. The ambiance was like being in a sterile kitchen, the two plants in the front did nothing to provide any warmth to the restaurant and the walls were dull. The music was random and did not encourage or create an enjoyable environment for a Michelin star restaurant. To start, the amuse bouche was an egg custard with tiny dots on top, the textures completely clashed and was not a palate cleanser or way to kick off a meal. The crudo was fine but was not exciting. The vegetable course was a cold leek soup with razor clams and mushrooms that had the texture of brains. The clams were good but again another creamy dish that lacked flavor and depth. There was a surprise gift of fried hash potato with chicken jus which was very oily and did not flow with tasting course in any way. The squid ink pasta was fine, pasta was cooked Al dente but sauce again was very basic but this along with the crudo was the only dishes we finished. A polenta dish came with the pasta and was topped with a layer of thick cheese. This was another creamy, not pleasant dish which we did not eat and made no sense from a pairing perspective. The cornbread was the best thing we ate which is not what you’re hoping for when visiting a restaurant of this caliber. The fish course was a fried flounder with lentils and Brussels - it was more like a fish stick on a bed of lentils with some Brussels leaves thrown in. Lacked flavor. To finish they had a panna cotta made with orange and mascarpone with 3 berries on top, so another creamy dish to finish, which left us truly disappointed. The food was not at any level for a Michelin star restaurant and we were not ever asked after any course how the food was or for any feedback. Like many other reviewers have mentioned there’s an automatic 20% gratuity added and then they have the nerve to outline the tip line on your check. I’m all for ensuring the wait staff receives adequate pay but you don’t get to add 20% and than ask for an additional tip.

    We were fortunate to get a reservation at Orsa & Winston during our last visit to LA. The room is minimalistic but warm and inviting and we were very fast greeted and seated by our server. Several small dishes came out throughout the evening. Service was efficient and friendly. We had some excellent wines although we ended with a bottle that was a bit too sour for my liking. The first courses, fennel salad with grilles sweet prawn, the chawan mushi and the hamachi carpaccio with shiso flowers were definitely my favorites. I was not so fond of the squid pasta dish that also was so big that I barely could eat anything afterwards - but I am still glad I tried it and for that tasting menus are perfect because they widen the horizon and one tastes new things we would not have ordered ourselves. Orsa & Winston is the perfect location for a nice quiet dinner with excellent service, great ingredients and superb food and wine.

    The experience was superb. We were celebrating a birthday and they made it special without being overbearing.The server gave a great wine recommendation and we were given many gifts throughout the meal.The standouts were the salad, pasta, scallops and dessert for us. The ambiance is nice and romantic for a date; it’s quiet but not too quiet where you can hear other conversations. Parking structure close by as well. I would definitely go back.

    We could barely hear the waiter (he mumbled and rushed) as he described each dish, so when we ate the food it wasn’t very intriguing given that it was a tasting menu. Overall the food was ok, but definitely missing seasoning and salt. For $500 for 2 people it was NOT worth it. We left disappointed for sure.
