| About: | "Go ahead scribble Orson on your must-see, must-taste list." ~ Nicole Ramirez, NBC Bay Area $5 cocktails, wine & beer 5-7pm nightly Tipsy Tuesday half price wine night Executive Chef Elizabeth Falkner showcases the vibrancy and creativity of San Francisco bringing together the best of traditional California cuisine, with a touch of surprise. Enjoy an explosive Caesar salad with airy, almost see-through crouton curls, a creamy parmesan "pudding" and crisp leaves of romaine dotted with dressing "sealed" in plump spheres, ready to be released at your pleasure, not to mention those pop rocks! Wood-fired pizzas use house made dough that develops over three days, building layers of flavor. Settle into braised beef short ribs with creamy horseradish gnudi (think naked ravioli) in a red-beet sauce or cult favorite Orson Burger, sandwiched in a parmesan Bun and slathered with truffle mayonnaise, steak sauce, and bacon-blue cheese cobb relish. And, save room for dessert. |

the desserts here are excellent! the rosebud remastered (creme brulee) is probably one of the best but really, you can't go wrong with any of them. the service here is also excellent. very highly recommended!
