orleans

Orleans restaurant is one of our favorite places in Davis Square for contemporary American seafood. The space is divided into the bar area, two person booths, and a lounge area. The food was delicious, but we ordered way too much bringing home more than half of our leftovers. The noise level is a bit high in the restaurant during dinnertime on a weekend, but the setting it still pretty intimate. Overall, we absolutely recommend Orleans for anyone looking to try a new restaurant in Davis.

  bread with hummus! a nice twist to the standard bread and butter.

  we ordered the Orleans P.B.T. pizza as an appetizer. a very, very thin-crust pizza with mozzarella, prosciutto, basil and fresh tomato was a great starter - it was delicious, but too much for two people. we ended up taking 2/3 of it home - even better for leftovers!

  nicki's entree was pan-seared salmon with a crispy risotto cake and wilted spinach. the perfectly cooked salmon with a sweet and sour sauce was the star of the dish. the risotto cake was yummy at first, but the dense texture and overall heaviness became too much at the end.

  tim's entree was the Orleans burger, which came with cheese, onion rings, and a mango-pepper salsa. although a little messy, the flavors were rich and tasteful. nom nom nom.
