Editorial Review for Orris – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
Chef Hideo Yamashiro's Westside eatery is more casual than his flagship, Shiro: The open kitchen is a flash of stainless steel, and the tiny, green-tinted dining room is accented by understated jazz. Patrons linger over globally and locally influenced tapas served in sharable portions. The selection includes albacore lettuce cups, curry infused shrimp tempura and the chef's signature shrimp mousse-stuffed ravioli in shiitake mushroom sauce. Desserts include seasonal ice creams and sorbets.

Insider Tips
ParkingThere's a small free lot behind the restaurant, and valet is offered Thursday through Saturday.
What to DrinkThere are about 20 wines--served by the bottle and glass--selected by the chef to complement particular dishes; corkage is $12. Beer and sake is also available.
Know Before You GoThe whole deep-fried catfish with cilantro and ponzu may be the most requested dish at Shiro, but it's not on the small plates-only menu.

Wow! Each time I come here, I enjoy it even more. Went over the weekend, and had to share what a fabulous meal we had: delicious goat cheese bites, perfectly fried anchovies, and sensational mushrooms & pork. Best of all, the entire meal for two (with more than a bottle of wine, and a cheese plate for dessert) came in right around $100, which I think is VERY reasonable for the quality of food. We didn't have to wait at all (got there early though) and thought our waiter was great. Overall, very highly recommended for dates or groups. The only drawback is that the tables are a little tight, but really, I think this is a great place.
Pros: Fabulous food -- especially fish, good (reasonably priced) wine list, great value
Cons: Tables are a bit tight, inside gets noisy

Orris is The best fine dining experience one could enjoy. The food, service and atmosphere is absolutely superb. From the time you enter the restaurant, until you leave hours later, you are delighted in selections of fine food and french wine. I'm happy to see that after coming to Orris over the past years that the restaurant earned high rankings from Fodors.
