Orla by Michael Mina

Portions are generally medium and designed for sharing, mezze and appetizers are a highlight and many guests recommend ordering several to sample. Brunch uses prix-fixe courses, while dinner features shareable 'for the table' plates and mains that guests describe as moderate. A few guests felt some mains were small for the price, so plan to share plates and save room for the table-side desserts.
