    Food was bad, my sister and I had to send our food back 3 times each. Overpriced for the quality we finally got, my goodness. it really wasn’t worth the hype it got on TikTok. Yeah not the best place to spend your time and money

    I had the pleasure of dining at Origen recently, and I just have to share how incredible my server, Julianna, was. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm, genuine smile that set the tone for the entire evening. Julianna was incredibly attentive throughout the meal, always checking in at the right moments without ever being intrusive. She had a great knowledge of the menu, making excellent recommendations, and was happy to answer all our questions. What really stood out was her professionalism combined with a friendly, relaxed demeanor. She made sure our drinks were never empty, anticipated our needs, and even offered us some thoughtful suggestions for dessert—everything she suggested was spot on! It’s rare to find a server who makes you feel so well taken care of while still keeping the experience light and enjoyable, but Julianna did just that. It’s not often that a server leaves such a positive impression, but Julianna truly went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. If you visit Origen, be sure to ask for her—you won’t be disappointed!

    Everything was perfect! From the decor, to the music, the service, the food and the ambiance. Our server was on point. I’m celiac so she made every effort to make sure items we ordered were prepared celiac safe. She went above and beyond and answered all our questions. Everything we ordered was delicious. We never felt rushed even though it was Valentine’s Day. We will definitely be back and look forward to our next visit.

    This was our first time going and it was Valentines Day. The restaurant was cute and all staff was extremely friendly. Our server was super nice and very informative. The food was great. If I had to nit pick, it would just be that the music was too loud. Was hard to hear each other talk. We would definitely come again.

    The food is excellent. However for the price, this should be a much better experience. I had reservations, and yet still was sat in back dining room and told a “bar back” would be our serve and he would see how it goes? Not well……He then was busy at bar for 20 minutes and never got the appetizers or drinks we ordered. Finally requested an actual server who was fantastic but you should not have to ask for service when the price you are paying should include. Second, very tacky having a bathroom that the door literally opens to the toilet off the dining room with tables surrounding it. Needs a remodel and would close this bathroom to public. Grossed me out!

    Thank you, Angela! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, but we sincerely apologize that your overall experience did not meet expectations. Your concerns about the initial service and seating are completely understandable, and we regret that you had to request a server to receive the level of service you should expect from us. We truly appreciate your patience and your kind words about the fantastic server who stepped in. Additionally, we appreciate your honest feedback about the restroom location and ambiance. We take guest experience seriously and will review these concerns as we continue to refine and improve. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts—we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. The Origen Team

    First time dining there last night. The decor is very unique and the staff is very accommodating. We needed a quieter (if possible) place to sit as my husband is hard of hearing. They put us in the lovely wine room which has a table for four and yes, is filled with bottles of wine. You can keep the door closed which helped with the loud music for awhile, although as the night went on, even that room got noisy. We dine out often and it's beyond me why restaurants (not bars) feel the need to blast the music, making conversation difficult. It's all too common. Our server, Christian, was quite nice and knew the menu well. We started with cocktails which were pricey at around $16-$19 each. With all the ice in mine, it took 3 sips to finish. Christian recommended the guacamole and to add the steak. There were four of us so we took his advice. Blah. It was quite bland, even the added steak didn't help. I cannot recommend it. For entrees, three of us got the Picanha steak tacos which came with bone marrow. It's a knife and fork meal - no way to pick these up as the tortillas fell apart. Tasty, but not amazing. The fourth person got the barbacoa which he pronounced average. Wines are quite marked up, but that's not unusual in higher end places. We had the Cajeta molten lava cake for dessert. It was average. They don't offer brewed coffee, just Americanos, espressos, etc. To finish, it's an average restaurant. For the price and taste, I wouldn't go back. We did not sample the pricey steaks, so can't comment on those.

    Origen was a wonderful experience and amazing food. We received complimentary refried beans and chips and salsa that was excellent and a welcome touch. We then ordered the appetizer, empanada humita with sweet corn, followed by picanha steak for two, savoy cabbage and elote. All was absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked to perfection, super flavorful and the chimichurri really took the steak to the next level. The only downfall was that the appetizers were all very expensive. For a single small empanada, it was $16. Most appetizers were $28-$48 each. Other than that, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was top notch!
