Orsa & Winston

I enjoyed every aspect of our dinner here - the minimalist but classy decor, the casual yet elevated vibe, and the delicious food all came together for a great experience. The menu was fantastic, and we ended up with additional dishes based on what the chef had whipped up that night; the focaccia plate that came out was really something special. My partner got the wine pairing which was a lovely supplement of wines and sake to go along with the meal and definitely well worth it. We also got the seafood porridge supplement and cannot emphasize enough how much I’d recommend it! The seafood is perfect and goes extremely well with the risotto it comes with - it’s savory, creamy, and all around excellent.

4.5/5 stars This Michelin star restaurant offers a 5-course tasting menu ($150 per person), but they added some extra dishes, which was nice! Overall, I enjoyed most of the dishes, except for the vegetable dish since the sauce was way too overpowering. Also, some of the dishes tasted too buttery, but they were still edible. The cornbread would have been better if it were hotter. The lobster pieces in the pasta could have been more tender. I think my favorite dishes were the scallops and the snapper. Service was great. The dishes came out quickly

Went this past week and had the tasting menu. I am gluten and dairy free and they accommodated flawlessly. Each course was unique, beautiful to look at, and memorable to eat. My friend had the vegetarian tasting menu and loved it, too. The timing was excellent, no rushing or hovering. Yes, the plates are small but by the end I promise you will be full. Highly recommend.

We had recently gone to Orsa and Winston for a birthday. The entrance is not flashy and easily missed from the street and the restaurant itself only has a handful of tables set up. With that said, the food was immaculate. Every component was so flavorful and the progression throughout our meal was fantastic. For its price, it was almost a steal for how good it was.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Orsa & Winston. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted, with fresh and unique ingredients. The service was great—attentive yet unobtrusive. Our server provided clear explanations when we had questions about the ingredients. The recommended sake pairing was a standout, perfectly complementing the flavors of the dishes. Would definitely try other restaurants run by the chef next time in LA.

Incredible meal and service. Went for the 5-course omakase and added the special seafood porridge dish (a must!). Very unique and creative dishes utilizing seafood, vegetables and fruit, that you won’t find anywhere else. Chef Centeno delivers flavor combinations that are sometimes surprising, and absolutely delicious, using ingredients at their peak. It’s on the expensive side, but absolutely worth it.

I was ready to be harsh with this review but honestly, food quality and an amazing service fixed it all... It all started with my wife and myself arriving 15 minutes early. And guess what... Yeah, they left us outside the restaurant (a small place without a waiting area) until the time of our reservation. Yeah, outside on the 7pm cold and in a not-that-pretty neighborhood... However, once they allowed us in, everything changed... The attention was superb, the 8 (yeah, not only 5, which is not a complaint at all) courses were delicious, the pairings (highly recommended to choose the wine pairing option too) and the timing among courses was nothing but perfect. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and they even included a little candle in the dessert, strategically placed so that it didn't affect the presentation of the dish. I mean, that might sound dumb but I didn't need to remind them that we were celebrating something, which for me is a huge detail. Totally worth the price. Totally deserved that Michelin star. Don't miss the opportunity to try it!

THE BEST tasting menu I have ever had. Orsa and Winston is exquisite. We finished each dish so quickly the server said “I would ask how it was, but the plates are still warm….” .
