Erik Farrar Review of Origin Restaurant & Bar
We came here with friends from Austin on New Year'...
We came here with friends from Austin on New Year's Eve. Origin had a set, prix fixe menu that night and we asked if it would be possible to split one order (four courses) per couple, since we weren't looking for a ton of food. They happily accomodated us and even split each course onto two dishes.
We all had heirloom tomato salads and warm Brussels sprouts salads, both of which were incredible: smoky mozarella and flavorful deep red tomatoes, and perfectly cooked shaved sprouts. This was followed by goat cheese and spinach-stuffed chicken breast with sauteed yellow squash and green beans all topped with a bit of sauce hinting of maple. Our friends got the salmon and rissoto and were similarly impressed.
On top of that, we had three drinks: the 00rigen7, a fig-infused rye Sugar Free Old-Fashioned, and the RUseMary. The latter was deemed by our friend to be the best cocktail she has ever had -- a savory take on a mojito replacing mint with rosemary. We all took turns passing our drinks around so that we all could experience each one.
TL/DR: Perfect. Definitely returning on our next visit to the city.
