Orsay - What was left of the incredible beef stroganoff stroganoff! Unbelievable!!! - French Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Orsay continues to impress, and brunch was no exception. The service was incredible from start to finish. My server was attentive, knowledgeable, and seemed to have the perfect balance of checking in when needed while still giving me plenty of space to relax and enjoy my meal. The Eggs à la Orsay were a creative and elevated take on Eggs Benedict, featuring black truffles that added a rich, luxurious flavor without overpowering the dish. Paired with a mimosa, it made for a fantastic brunch experience. The real showstopper was dessert. The Black Forest Silk Pie, topped with toasted meringue, raspberry, and Bing cherries, was absolutely delicious--decadent yet beautifully balanced. My server also recommended a glass of cava to accompany it, and the bubbles were the perfect complement. Great food, outstanding service, and thoughtful recommendations made this a memorable brunch. I'll definitely be back. read more

Restaurant Orsay is one of those places that feels elevated the moment your food hits the table and this dish was a perfect example of why. The presentation alone was stunning. A beautifully seared piece of chicken with crispy, golden skin, plated over what looked like creamy mashed potatoes, surrounded by a rich, glossy sauce. The mushrooms and caramelized onions added depth and made the whole dish feel thoughtfully composed, not just thrown together. Flavor-wise, it delivered. The chicken was juicy with that perfect crisp on the outside, and the sauce tied everything together in a way that felt indulgent but balanced. Every component had a purpose, and you could taste the level of technique behind it. I love coming here to celebrate birthdays as it's such a great spot for special occasions. The ambiance, service, and quality of food make it feel like a true experience every time. Orsay really nails that refined, French-inspired dining vibe: elegant, rich, and consistently memorable. read more

Orsay - Springer Mt. Farms Chicken - French Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

BLUF- highly recommended! We visit here once every few weeks. Always friendly service. Consistently great food. We get the same thing almost every visit- because it's so consistent. Tomato tartare- fresh toast and full of flavor. The garlic is just the right amount. The chicken ballentine has to be ordered ahead of time- and it's pricey... but worth the time and money. I always get the spinach salad- unique mix of flavors. My wife always gets the Orsay salad. We usually try different desserts. They have all been noteworthy. We typically sit in the dining room. Upscale and trendy. A must try when visiting our city! Easy 5 stars every time. read more

Orsay - The inside was filled with a passion fruit puree... delish! - French Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Waited 10 years - had my husbands birthday - large table which I was impressed they agreed on a Saturday. Everyone cancelled their trips to be together - I called twice and left voicemails for "the front of house manager" whose name I knew. They texted they got my voicemail the first time. Table of 10. I left 2 more voicemails about the 24-48 hours notice for beef Wellington. We all talked about it for weeks gearing up for it. The 2 young ladies at the hostess stand vehemently denied that there were any voicemails. We got appetizers and left...worst hospitality from front of house. Bartenders are fabulous. They no longer have their lychee martini but the pear cocktail is delish. Never again making the hour drive read more

Everyone enjoyed their meals. We had filet Mignon, beef stroganoff, muscles, steak frites and duck. Everything was delicious. Would recommend this place. read more

The grilled octopus, escargot, and sauté spinach were flavorful and brilliantly served in the finest French presentation. The tables, art and decor set the scene of a Parisienne cafè!

Vegetable Shepard a pie was fine. I wouldn't order it again. The restaurant is awesome. I love the energy and design on it. I think it's overpriced. Chris our server was awesome. I would really just come for ice cream and drinks. The sticky pudding was the absolute best @$16. read more

My wife and I had dinner last night at Orsay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had an early reservation (5:15) in the Park Street dining room which is adjacent to the kitchen. It was a little noisier than the main dining room, but I enjoyed being able to see & hear the kitchen operating efficiently. We were greeted warmly and wished a happy anniversary by both the hostess and our excellent server Tony who presented us with complementary white wine as yet another warm anniversary greeting. I don't drink, but that just meant more for my lovely bride. We decided to splurge a little and ordered the Wellington (which requires a minimum 24 hour notice). Tony was very informative and explained the process for the preparation and gave us the opportunity to map out our meal. My wife started with the French onion soup which is excellent as always. I wanted to save room for the main event of the evening. Finally it was showtime. A server brought the Wellington to the table whole to give folks (like me) the chance to take a photo before it goes back to the kitchen to be sliced. The Wellington is MASSIVE which is why it's suggested for 2-4 people. The steak is cooked beautifully, the pastry is delicious, the filling was amazing, and the jus gave it a real punch that set it off and brought everything into sharp focus. We had pommes frites and Brussels sprouts as sides. Definitely ordered too much food (no regrets). Frites are always tasty, but the sprouts are next level. Roasted with bacon lardon & pearl onions. Absolutely delicious. For dessert we were torn. My wife wanted the vanilla crème brûlée, but was very intrigued by the mini key lime crème brûlée. Tony, being a real mensch, gave her the mini on the house so she could try both. I went with the banana cake which was incredibly disappointing - firm, dry cake, think & gummy ganache. And this is where my only criticism of the evening comes in. Apparently the banana cake is a vegan dessert despite that not being indicated anywhere on the menu. If I had known that it was vegan, I would not have ordered it. I expressed my disappointment and our server had the cake taken off our bill. Again, shouts to Tony, stand-up dude. That wasn't enough to take the shine off a delicious meal and a delightful evening. We have been several times and will be back. Hopefully by then they can figure out that whole vegan dessert transparency thing. read more

I had takeout and it was pretty good, a very nice flavor, not overwhelming, a little less beef than I would prefer but the sauce was decadent and the provided bread (though on the harder side - I know some people prefer it that way), really soaked it up when I used the bread for dipping! On the pricey side. Cute ambiance. read more

Orsay - Beef Stroganoff - French Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

During a work trip to Jacksonville, I had this place on my radar from a Yelp friend recommending who is in Orlando - thanks Ronnald M! After visiting and discussing with local coworkers, they all raved about this place and I can see why it's loved by locals. Heck, even Yelpers I spoke with in the area loved this place too. Both beautiful in decor and seating, and in the food and beverages served. My coworker and I went on a Saturday early evening with no reservation, and were seated within 5-10 minutes which was great. We were there in time to make the last few moments of Saturday Cocktail Hour (11am - 6pm), so I had to have a dirty vodka martini since they had blue cheese stuffed olives. Be rude not to! Same with enjoying some fresh bread and butter they bring you to start the meal. For food, we splurged on various items and I had a non-vegetarian meal to treat myself (try to avoid meat for health reasons). For starters, I had the Black Truffle Mac N Cheese and Duck Wings while my coworker had the French onion soup and shrimp cocktail. I haven't had Duck since going vegetarian for the first time at 16 years old so it was definitely an experience! I found it to be a darker meat with a more gamey flavor than chicken. Interesting, but not sure I'd have every day or even yearly as a treat. As for the black truffle Mac n Cheese? I could and would easily eat that every day if calories and distance to this location were not obstacles! My coworker also raved about her two items, and would return in a heartbeat! For entrees, we enjoyed beef stroganoff and vegetable shepherds pie. Both rich and decadent. Loved the recommendation to try both from our amazing server - Ayla. Every dish meeting the mark just when you thought this location couldn't top the last item! Which leads me to dessert, which elevated this location to easily one of my top meals in 2025 and you know I dine out a lot! Bread Pudding Du Jour: Baked to Order, our bread pudding is encrusted with Demerara sugar, served hot with a scoop of our house-made ice cream. Madagascar Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée: Vanilla Bean chantilly, baked meringue, fresh berries To say we were in heaven was an absolute understatement. The desserts were divine and paired lovely with a pot of earl grey tea split between us. My first time trying Serendipitea brand and found to be quite lovely. What a way to finish the meal and truly remarkable to have every item served with perfection and presented gorgeously. Hands down, one of my best dining experiences in 2025. If you are in Jacksonville, Florida then you need to come check out Orsay! read more

We were here for brunch. Hubby was disappointed that the menu only had vegetarian Shepherd's Pie. When we mentioned it, server, or better, hospitality professional, Ayla, said the chef could make it but Carl already had changed his mind with his heart now set on the shrimp and grits. The music was fantastic, yet we could still easily converse. Coincidentally the executive chef was in today, which was kind of exciting to me as a die hard foodie. We ordered a Bloody Mary and a Cucumber Mule. Both were excellent. I've never had a more unique version that was still true to the drink. The bread was outstanding. Warm, fresh, soft with a perfect crunchy crust. The butter was so flavorful! We wondered if they made it and if not, I want to know where I can buy it. I'm not a preserves person but Carl loved it. I'm not sure what flavor it was. For app we shared the escargot. The entire dish was so delicate. Soft, buttery escargot, garlicky sauce with depth, served in a perfect vol au vent. I had the Beef Stroganoff. The beef was melt in your mouth. The pappardelle pasta was fresh and al dente. The mushrooms were fresh and so tasty! The portion was much bigger than the picture implies. Carl had shrimp and grits. Easily the best he's ever had. I tasted the grits. They were velvety, cheesy, and buttery. I have NEVER had grits like this. The Cajun sauce was spicy but not overpowering. Shrimp were perfectly cooked. I want to say it's the best meal we've ever had. Including New York and Vegas. Ayla has the best laugh and was spot on with every detail. She was kind enough to laugh at all our jokes. We crack ourselves up. When you go, ask for Ayla as your hospitality professional. We are going back in a couple weeks. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner with my folks and had a wonderful experience. Pur server Julian was excellent-- attentive, well-informed, and affable. No shade but coming from DC and NYC, I haven't found many places in Jax that impress me. The food at Orsay was delicious. I had the seared octopus app and the lobster pot pie which had a generous portion of lobster. All of the entrees had generous portions that we ended up boxing up. One slight quibble-- my parents enjoyed the onion soup but felt it was too heavy on the cheese. I was given a complimentary dessert with a little candle and we also ordered a creme brulee. We would definitely return! read more

Orsay has been a longtime favorite of mine, and brunch here is always a win. We came for a birthday celebration this time, and they struck the perfect balance; acknowledging the occasion with a candle and macaron (classy) instead of a group sing-along (merciful). The bourbon orange French toast deserves its own standing ovation. The bread? Absolute perfection! Crispy outside, soft inside, and not a hint of sogginess. The orange flavor is front and center (orange is definitely the star here), but it plays nicely with everything else. And you can skip the butter (although it's delicious in its own right). The crème fraîche is all you need. I balanced it with bacon (gotta have the salty with the sweet) and it was perfectly crisp and tasty. I usually spring for a brunch cocktail, but I went the caffeine route this time with an iced latte made with Bold Bean coffee. Smooth and satisfying. That said, I couldn't resist sampling around the table: the Corpse Reviver #2 (bright, lemony, not cloyingly sweet), the red sangria (my future go-to). Food wise I sampled eggs à la Orsay (hello, truffle), and onion soup (closest to being in France I've found for this!). Oh, and beef stroganoff and west coast oysters made their way to the table too...both solid choices. For dessert, the toasted coconut macaron reminded me why theirs are always a treat. From start to finish, Orsay nails the experience every time: delicious food, attentive staff, and an ambiance that manages to feel both lively and intimate. Whether you're celebrating something special or just celebrating the fact that it's Sunday, it's always worth a visit. read more

The service was great, the food was even better, but it is a tiny bit loud in there. I wish I had room to try more items, but what we did try was outstanding- lobster pot pie, beef stroganoff and pierogis. When booking a reservation, make sure you don't book the one in New York.

On the morning of Mother's Day, I wanted to see if by chance I could get a reservation for a solo brunch before my other activities for the day. I tried Orsay because I've been once but have always wanted to try them again. I fortunately did get a reservation for one! When I arrived, they were very busy (to be expected on Mother's Day), but I was greeted right away. As she was telling me my table would be ready shortly, I saw an empty seat at the bar and asked if I could sit there instead. She confirmed I could so I had my brunch bar too with a great bar staff and other patrons enjoying the day. I ordered the Hey Jealously drink, which is gin based. It was a nice balanced drink, not too sweet and so refreshing! To eat I ordered Eden Farms Berkshire Pork chop but requested my egg fried hard vs. sunny side up. It was so good! The batter on the pork chop was very well seasoned as was the pork chop itself. It was also a nice size. The warm potatoes and arugula salad were also super good. I wasn't sure what to expect for a potato and arugula salad and found them to complement each other very well. I expected there to be an understandable longer wait, considering the day and how busy they were. However they were very efficient and my meal came much quicker than expected, fresh and hot. The bar staff were very attentive as they served everyone at the bar and took and made drink orders from the restaurant. It was a great experience and allowed me to start my Mother's Day off very well. read more

Orsay is a charming little French bistro in Avondale that absolutely delivers on a great brunch experience. It was busy -- in the best way -- with that lively weekend energy that makes the place feel warm and buzzing. We sat outside, which was perfect for brunch and only offered on the weekends, and the whole setup felt relaxed and stylish without trying too hard. The food was delicious, classic French with a fresh twist, and everything came out beautifully prepared. The service was genuinely great -- attentive, friendly, and on top of things even with the crowd. It made the whole experience feel effortless. Orsay is the kind of spot you look forward to returning to, whether for a slow brunch or a cozy dinner. It's a true Avondale gem. read more

I was delighted when my friend suggested brunch at Orsay. It had been some time since my last visit, and it is undoubtedly a restaurant I always long to revisit. This is not only due to the exceptional quality of the cuisine but also the outstanding service. We enjoyed our brunch with a shared brunch plateau which offers biscuits and gravy, cheesy grits and they're delicious bacon or you can have ham and a couple of eggs..accompanied before hand with their assortment of their daily selection of fresh pastries. We also ordered a Jambon Omelette and concluded with macarons for dessert. Every aspect of the experience was exceptional, particularly sharing tbe experience with friends. read more

(Ok i started this draft 5 years ago- slacker! But the message is the same - orsay is top notch!) Circa April 2020: Orsay has been on my radar for years, and I can certainly see why this restaurant wins so many awards! Had the pleasure of dining at an outdoor table with another couple right when restaurants reopened during Covid-19. Everything was 5 star. I ordered so many of my favorite foods including brussel sprouts & grilled oysters and loved every bite. Service was truly a 5 star professional experience. I havent found this caliber of dining since moving to Jax. Circa 2021: my MIL treated my hubby and I to a celebratory meal here to celebrate our elopement. Food and service was incredible. Best part is our meal felt intimate and we were never rushed (but also felt well attended to). I enjoyed my mussels frites but did have FOMO over the grilled oysters. The creme brulee was 10/10. Today (July 2025) - Sunday funday was spent celebrating a birthday linner with a group of my favorite people. Our table of 10 tonight had a lovely time dining in the park st section with Tony. April the bartender was also cery personable and made excellent cocktails. Everyone loved their food and drink (including a pre- order of a beef wellington). I absolutely crushed my caesar salad with scallops and lobster mac & cheese. Thrilled for some mac leftovers tomorrow. The best part? Orsay has HH specials 4p-6p 7 days a week- I had no idea! My blood orange martini was delicious, and so was my $8 glasses of rose. In conclusion, the level of stellar food and professional service at Orsay excels year after year. Whether you come for a date night, celebration, or a group gathering Orsay will ensure you have a delightful meal and experience. read more

Order the beef Wellington. You must call at least 24 hours in advance to order, but this dish was perfect. Large enough for at minimum two people. Comes with a really delicious side salad.

Orsay is one of my favorite restaurants in Jacksonville! I first visited last year to surprise hubby on his birthday, we've been 2 more times since. The ambience is classy yet causal. Their cocktail menu is wonderful including seasonal cocktails. The Old Fashioned is still tough to beat. The complimentary bread and butter is top notch. Fresh, perfectly baked bread served with soft, salted butter. Simple yet amazing! The onion soup is a must try, they will split it for easy sharing. You can't go wrong with the plentiful charcuterie options. The steak frites are my favorite and might be the best I've ever had! It's hubby's favorite dish as well. The beef stroganoff is also fantastic. Don't miss their dessert! We ordered dessert to go a couple times. The cookies & cream cheesecake and Madagascar vanilla crème brûlée were both hits! read more

We dined in on a reservation for a celebratory dinner and were seated promptly. We were seated at a two top table which was a bit tight but our server brought over a small table to put beside ours to place menus and such on which helped. We started with Mac and cheese for a starter and it was piping hot and beautifully cheesy. The eastbound and down was well done. For entrees we had the steak frites which came with a mountain of fries with steak to perfect temp and the mushroom omelette which was fluffy and delicious. The celebration was honored with a macaroon. Overall the experience was great and we would return. read more

The bouillabaisse was packed with seafood and rich tomato flavor. As for the steak frites, the steak was so soft and flavorful. Although I thought the fries were a little on the greasy side and the presentation was a bit messy. I forget which drink we ordered, but it was also amazing. You MUST save room for dessert. It was hard choosing between all the amazing options, but we decided to go with the bread pudding. It was so delicious. I highly recommend it! Our service was impeccable.

Wonderful business. Amazing food. Good ambience. Service was fantastic. Overall a great date night with my wife here last night. We ordered West coast oysters, and got free bread appetizer with butter. She got the pork chop and I got the steak frites. We got a small side of mash potato, and lobster Mac and cheese. Oysters were a bit small, but very impactful flavor. Porn chop was enormous and very juicy/delicious. The flank steak was flavorful and cooked to my request, and came with tons of fries. The lobster Mac was so cheesy it came out like soup. Lobster amount in that was decent and not too strong. The mash potato was so fluffy and great quality overall. Will definitely recommend everyone to come here and my wife and I will return!! read more

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had at Orsay. I love the food. You can check my other posts but today the service was terrible. We walked in the door at 11:00 and sat at the bar. Knowing it's Valentines Day it is going to be busy. We ordered 6 oysters and two drinks. Things were going smoothly. We ordered a burger at 11:25-11:30. At 12:00 I asked for the check since we didn't get a burger. The bartender, who isn't the regular Saturday bartender, says I haven't gotten my burger. He then walks over to the computer and finally orders my burger. Then the bar back brings us two knives and said our burger will be out soon. And I say, that is because he just rang it in, to which the bar back says no it was ordered. The burger shows up at 12:17. Please tell me how it took 47 minutes to cook one burger. And the bun was hard, cheese barely melted. The sauce was good and the oysters were fantastic. People make mistakes. Just own it and I can deal with that. But don't lie to me and insult my intelligence. I love this place and the food but this ruined our Valentine's brunch. We live 30 minutes away and chose Orsay because of how great it is. Today was an absolute joke. Beyond disappointed. If that was someone's first time there, I doubt they would go back. What a bummer. read more
