I had dinner at Orsay on Saturday night - - as the snow was coming down outside - - thankfully I live two blocks away!
I love Orsay, it totally reminds me of Paris! ... the tile floors, dark woods, cozy banquets, art nouveau style chandeliers, etc.
I had a fabulous salad of baked artichoke with corsican cheese and walnut vinaigrette on baby arugula. Wow, just delicious! And for a main, the seabass crusted with parmesan and orange, fennel puree and a dollop of tomato confit on top. I didn't taste the orange in the crusting at all, which is fine with me because it seems perhaps unnecessary to the success of the dish (sorry chef!). It was also quite good - I'm a sucker for anything with fennel! They have a tarte tatin on the dessert menu, it's fine, but not a traditional preparation. (I am still on a quest for the perfect tarte tatin!) You can view the whole dinner menu here.
They're having a nice New Year's Eve menu, the 9 pm second seating is a bit pricey but it looks very good (entrees like lobster salad and bison steak au poivre).
