I had a fantastic birthday dinner at Origin last night! The food and desserts were exceptional. A special thanks to James and the entire staff for making it such a memorable experience...
The chef is fantastic! I saw him praising his trainees, which really means a lot to them. It's encouraging for people to hear that they're doing a great job.
If I could give the service a zero I would. Never got a chance to eat here. The staff cancelled my reservation because I didn't answer my phone...

I travel frequently and always make it a point to visit Original, especially for their Chinese duck – it's a must-try! I also love their deviled eggs, buffalo mozzarella, and Brussels sprouts with caramelized shallots and pancetta. There are so many fantastic dishes to share! The service is always pleasant and dependable. While the noise can be a bit of an issue, everything else makes it worthwhile. I'm sad to hear that the chef is closing this venue, but I'm excited to see what his next project will be!
I booked a table for 10 last Sunday at 1pm. Excellent food and service. We will definitely be back.
We went for Sunday brunch. The food was excellent, service was good (considering how busy it was, and the decor very attractive. The only downside was the overall noise level: difficult to carry on a conversation at our table.
We wanted to visit Original before it closes next week, and we absolutely loved it—especially the tuna salad with bone marrow! Everything was fantastic. Great job!
