    Black Forest Silk Pie
    Shannon H.

    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.

    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.

    The inside was filled with a passion fruit puree... delish!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Pork chop
    Rachelle S.

    An outstanding dining experience for a perfectly planned Mother's Day. From start to finish the service was attentive and seamless, food was beautifully presented and full of flavor, and the decor created a warm, elegant atmosphere. The creative cocktails were a standout-unique, well-balanced, and the perfect complement to the meal. The pork chop was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crunch. Orsay is the perfect spot for a memorable night out.

    Dessert tower

    This place did not disappoint! We had oysters to start. The lobster pot pie for our main meal and the dessert tower to end a perfect dinner. Be sure to get reservations as you're gonna need it. We will definitely be back!

    Beef Stroganoff
    Amanda W.

    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.

    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!

    Bread was soft and crusty, fresh!  The butter was so good!!
    Kristy A.

    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.

    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.

The biggest reason I'll be returning, though, is the seafood selection and the fact that you don't have to get everything fried. That is a HUGE plus for me. I ordered the blackened stuffed flounder, and it was packed with flavor and extremely fresh. The two sides I chose were delicious as well, (cheese grits, sweet potato) and the selection of sides on the menu is extensive, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I also ordered a glass of white wine, which came in the prettiest glass. The atmosphere is another thing I really liked. It can be slightly dressy or super casual, making it a great spot for different occasions. I also loved having both booth and table seating options. My friend and I had amazing service from start to finish. Between the prices, portions, service, ambiance, and flavor of everything we tried, this was an easy 5/5 stars for me. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Some of our favorites included the whipped feta (don't skip the bread for dipping!), the roasted half chicken, and the butterflied branzino, which was perfectly cooked with a delicious char and bright, fresh flavors. Every plate that came to the table looked as incredible as it tasted. The staff was welcoming, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions about the menu. One thing to know before you go: the chef has a very specific vision for each dish and generally does not allow substitutions or modifications. For example, one person in our group wanted the aioli removed from the tuna, but the dish was only served as designed. It's something to keep in mind if you have picky eaters or dietary preferences. We were so full after sharing so many plates that we had to pass on dessert, but that's just another reason to come back. Othello delivers a memorable dining experience with creative flavors, excellent service, and a fun, shareable menu. We'll definitely be returning.
