Orris for One Last Huzzah

In loving memory of one of our West LA favs, Orris, we wanted to give it a final farewell before it closed its doors to tapas styled food and ushered in a new age of generic pastas that would keep them in business (here's hoping they keep uni pasta on the menu).

I'm fairly sure that with 5.5 people at the table (a 2 year old was munching along where he could), we ordered half the menu, and as usual, everything was stunning. Highlights of the night go to snapper carpaccio with shallots and toasted almond slices, as well as Liberty duck breast with yuzu kosho on the side (since everything tastes better with yuzu kosho). Honorable mention goes to shrimp ravioli in mushroom reduction sauce.

Here's the special of the night, two slabs of seared foie gras with eggplant, with what tasted like a port wine reduction.
