Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Happy Valley

7 of us had brunch here. Our wait staff paid attention and refilled drinks before they were empty, and didn’t rush us out the door. I appreciated that they allowed us to enjoy our meal and were around if we needed them, but weren’t stopping by every 5 minutes to ask us how we were doing. Our food took a little longer (maybe 30 minutes from ordering), but without asking they brought out olives and nuts to snack on while waiting. Will be back again.

We sat at the chef's counter with a great view into the tiny kitchen, which was an experience in itself. No wonder the food is so good because that's one peaceful, harmonious and efficient kitchen. The service stands out at L'Orange for enthusiasm and personal attention. Our server, Erica, was so lovely and that last time I was there I also had an amazing server. We ordered the mushroom broth-based French onion soup, which was my daughter's favorite due to the garlic bread pudding - custardy texture against the crispiness of the cheese - and the intricate, delicious flavors. I had (for the second time) gnocchi which does not fail to delight due to the pillowy texture and layers of sauces and flavors. Dessert must include the orange cake because the flavor of natural orange is strong and pleasant. Again with the textures: burnt sugar crust, moist cake, cardamon icing and orange gelee. So many flavors to mix and match on the fork. We also had the white chocolate mousse with layers of cake and cranberry. So good. We'll be back for the service, the food and the sweet ambiance.

We did the tasting menu and the only complaints are that it was heavy on the salads and there was no dessert. But it was great food and great service. Would definitely recommend

As always, the food was delicious, drinks were tasty, and service was friendly. Only downside is the noise level. We usually sit in the bar area to take the edge off the sound.

Loved it. A bit pricey, but fully enjoyed my dinner experience. Many choices on the menu and staff was outstanding.
