A Michelin-Starred Experience in DTLA 🌟

📍 Orsa & Winston – Downtown Los Angeles Orsa & Winston is helmed by Michelin-starred chef Josef Centeno, weaving together Japanese and Italian influences into each meticulously crafted course. Every dish tells a story of the sea and the seasons—a concept that shines through in the flavors and presentations. 🍣🍝🌊 That said, the location is worth noting: it’s situated in an area of DTLA very close to Skid Row, which can feel uneasy after dark. The restaurant does not offer valet, so you’ll need to street park or use a nearby public lot—fingers crossed your car remains untouched. 🚗💔 While some dishes truly impressed with their depth and creativity, others leaned overly acidic, and the plating across several courses felt less refined than expected for a starred establishment. The service, unfortunately, didn’t elevate the experience—dishes were presented quickly with unclear descriptions, lacking the warmth and attentiveness often found at this level. 🍽️😐 The tasting menu runs around $150 per person, and with drinks and tax, it’s closer to $200 per person. For those curious about Chef Centeno’s vision or seeking an inventive fusion tasting menu, Orsa & Winston offers a distinct culinary journey—just come prepared for the location and set realistic expectations for service and consistency. 📸✨ #MichelinLA #DTLADining #LosAngeles #FineDining #ChefCenteno #LAEats #FoodReview #MichelinStar #CaliforniaCuisine #EatWithEyes
