We came to Orno because of the reputation of Chef Niven Patel, based on our admiration of his efforts at Ghee, an Indian restaurant. This is an American restaurant. The fresh flavors that came through in the dishes we tried are a tribute to the chef's great efforts -- he grows as many of his veggies as possible in his own nearby farm. Consequently, the menu changes often to take advantage of what is growing. This is such a great way to celebrate being in tropical Florida!
The menu started out with a surprise. Customers who come on the early side can take advantage of being here at "Wine O Clock" -- that's the time that wines by the glass or bottle are half off. So we ordered a lovely bottle of red that instead of $68 was $34. As we were driving, we were able to cork this wine at the end and enjoy the rest at home. (Last month it was for those arriving from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.)
My husband and I shared everything to experience all the flavors. The appetizer of stracciatella, creamy cheese with arugula pesto and pine nuts and heirloom tomatoes, was the first dish to really stand up and and show off the fruits of the farm. The tomatoes were bursting with flavor, such a pleasure in February (I always wonder why in Florida the tomatoes in our grocery stores aren't better -- or they're from Guatemala when it's warm here).
That was followed by a hearty dish of cauliflower with green apple, Aleppo pepper and lemon. Then we shared an entree of tilefish (branzino is also on the menu, but tilefish was a little different) with perfect snow peas, a lovely perfectly charred offering.
For me, the most unexpectedly wonderful dish was the onion gratin, a whole onion stuffed with cheese (and horseradish?) then carmelized in a wood oven. The intense flavor was to savor.
The restaurant space is beautifully done in wood and copper, and despite it being open and quite busy, the sound level was great for talking -- other restaurants could take a lesson. There is another small space called the library (which it looks like) that is probably even quieter. But we liked sitting in the big space so we could check out the dishes being brought to other tables. And the kitchen is open for viewing at one end of the room; when I went over to see it, I ran into the chef. He asked me how I like everything, and when I praised his tomatoes, he later sent over a small bag of cherry tomatoes for me to take home. Such a nice gesture.
The staff seems to take pains to understand what goes into these dishes, which we appreciated. The service was friendly and efficient but in no way hurried.
We advise parking in the self-park garage, as it is much cheaper than the valet (It would be nice to see some break for customers) and it requires little effort.
We look forward to coming back to try the chef's other creations -- especially the bone marrow, which we just didn't have room for this time.
