It's Not Porous
On that foodie-centric strip of Sawtelle between Santa Monica and Olympic lies a true gem of a restaurant. Orris, a Japanese tapas place, provides fabulous food and drink for a very reasonable price. I have eaten very well there and have never spent over $60, tax and tip included. It’s a great place to go with friends to share a zillion small plates; it’s a must if you really want to impress your date. Orris really shines when it comes to seafood and salads. Along with some of the menu standouts (grilled hearts of romaine with Parmesan dressing, Albacore lettuce cups with jalapeno aioli) there are daily specials to tempt your palate. If you are offered a seafood salad or ceviche , order it—you will not be disappointed. One night we received a Mediterranean style seafood salad and on another a Mexican style ceviche—both versions were fabulous. Another customer favorite is the tuna sashimi salad—it’s different every time but one constant is the flavorful silky tuna. A lot of thought has gone into the wine list; one can tell that the wines have been chosen to compliment the innovative and delicious food
