Very disappointing experience.

We ordered five dishes, & two of them, the lamb gravlax & the ceviche, were not enjoyable for us. We didn't complain because we weren't trying to make a scene. We were hungry & kept eating to see if the flavors would come together.

Our servers were great. When one of them checked in, we simply said those dishes weren't our favorites. We explained that the ceviche tasted bland & that the lamb's flavors felt confused to us. Our server apologized, & we thought that would be the end of it.

Later, the GM came over & repeatedly asked if everything was okay. After he insisted, we explained what had happened. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, he responded defensively, saying that's why the dishes are served separately on the tasting menu & telling my husband that his palate was different from both his own & the chef's.

The restaurant knew those dishes weren't meant to be eaten together, yet served them together without any guidance, then somehow made it seem like the issue was with the customers rather than the service.
We were uncomfortable enough to skip dessert.

Mistakes happen, but how they're handled matters. If there's no intention of improving the experience, it's better not to approach the table at all.

Gros coup de coeur pour le menu dégustation estival avec accord mets-vins! L'entrée au homard était tout simplement divine tout comme le pavé de courgettes & son petit côté croquant ainsi que la glace au fenouil. Un pur délice. Le service était attentionné & chaleureux. Merci particulièrement à Stéphanie pour son service impeccable & des plus agréables. Vraiment, une expérience culinaire incontournable!

We were there on the second day of the summer menu, overall very good. The highlight was the guinea fowl dish & the hospitality provided by Victoria.
Muchas gracias

C'était la deuxième fois ce soir que j'y allais, & comme la première fois tout fût parfait! Le menu dégustation offert en version végane est délicieux. Même si les serveur décrivent soigneusement chaque plat & ses ingrédients, ce sont tellement des associations inattendues & recherchées qu'on a l'impression de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs, je suis bluffée. Le service est aux petits oignons, on sent comme une reine. Pour moi, l'Orygine est incomparable & unique. Un gros merci à
vous tous ! ❤?

Super dining experience. We chose to eat inside & had a relaxing time. The amuse bouche was the best we have ever had! Fish dishes were superb. The vegan versions were creative & delicious!

Exceptional. We have tried top-tier tasting menus from around the world & this was one of our favourites. They were meticulous in accommodating to dietary restrictions (no peanuts in house!) & to pregnancy restrictions (made swaps for raw seafood/meats to other delicious options & never once made this feel like an inconvenience). Every single staff member we encountered was so warm & you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there & sharing the menu with guests. I did the non-alc pairing to the tasting menu - highly recommend! 10/10 food, drink & experience.

The duck was out of this world. Interior design was amazing & patio was so beautiful.

Amazing food, really disappointing service that is just out of step with the price point/Michelin star. We ordered the tasting menu & our first glass of wine/full dish took 45 minutes to arrive, & our server just sort of avoided eye contact the entire time we were waiting.

Things marginally improved over the course of the evening but still generally felt clunky, where we would feel rushed to finish a glass of wine for the next pairing & then waiting quite a long time after that for the food to come out. They also had a very long heads up we were celebrating my partner's birthday (a big one!) & did not plan anything.

This would be a great spot to order off the à la carte menu for a nicer dinner. I would go elsewhere for a great tasting menu experience
