Two Stars: Excellent cooking
Guests enter this former warehouse through a converted freight elevator, a testament to Oriole’s unique brand of elegance, further exemplified by the striking ceiling collage above the spotless open kitchen. Chef Noah Sandoval and team execute a thoughtful tasting menu that blends French and Japanese elements. Small bites in the impressive bar are accompanied by a welcome drink, and might include a tartlet of Dungeness crab or Hokkaido uni. Then, a mouthwatering canapé of foie gras parfait with pickled strawberries is served overlooking the impressive open kitchen watching the kitchen team in full flow. The capellini with black truffle is a highlight and a great lesson in culinary self-restraint. Service is polished, detailed and discreet.
