About
At Orson, Esu Lee builds his entire cuisine around the flame and the wood fire. Start with small plates to share, then dry-aged fish sashimi before moving on to dishes cooked over the fire. His Korean roots blend with other Asian influences, with significant work on fermentations, sauces, and seasonings. Cuisine full of character in an intimate space where the open kitchen is part of the experience.
