Description

Elizabeth Falkner, the spiky-haired chef locally famed for her Hayes Valley restaurant, Citizen Cake, goes modern at her SOMA outpost. It features interesting, if not always entirely successful, assemblages of ingredients and techniques. We enjoyed the charcuterie platter and the roast pig entrée from the seasonally influenced menu. Thoughtfully creative, exotic cocktails are served at table or at the large horseshoe bar.

    Livin' It Up with the "Hotel California" Menu at Orson

    By Carina Ost | Wed, August 10, 2011

    "Hotel California" by the Eagles is best known as a slightly spooky song that every dummy at a party will bust out on the guitar in an effort to impress girls. At least that's what I remember from col... More »

    Ready when you are: People who wait for brunch? Not us

    By Jonathan Kauffman | Wed, June 09, 2010

    For a meal that once seemed to epitomize urban living, weekend brunch brings out the basest parts of our nature. Look at the crowd outside every known brunch spot from the Bay to the Breakers. Half are the overachievers, who've biked 40 miles or... More »

    Orson Not Well

    By Meredith Brody | Wed, July 23, 2008

    San Francisco hasn't seen a lot of the cutting-edge style of cooking called molecular gastronomy. It features deconstructed dishes (often with poetic or jokey names), ingredients combined in unexpected and sometimes startling ways, innovative... More »

  • 2010 | Best Upscale Pizza

    Handicapping the city's ever-expanding makers of Neapolitan thin-crust has become a local sport. Meanwhile, at Orson, Elizabeth Falkner's kitchen is quietly serving up the tastiest, most technically polished expressions of Cal-cuisine pizza in San Francisco. Sous-chef Josh Capone -- one of the city's truly gifted breadmakers -- mixes up daily batches of a dough Falkner developed. It yields pies of moderate thinness, smudged with black from a gas-fired pizza deck. The crisp-chewy... More »
