Perspective
Orsa & Winston received a Michelin star in 2019, for the inaugural edition of the California guide (previous guides had only covered the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles area separately).[5] The following year, it was one of the first restaurants in the city to close in advance of the COVID-19 shutdown, but reopened with a skeleton crew and was named the Los Angeles Times Restaurant of the Year, with the paper praising the way "the fluidity between [Japanese and Italian] cuisines feels organic to Centeno’s cooking and to the pluralism of Los Angeles."[4]
However, by 2022, a review by The Infatuation acknowledged that, while "Orsa & Winston was once one of the most coveted reservations in LA," the authors felt that "after years of pandemic-related tweaks and changes, it's hard to see what the point is anymore." The review went on to state that "Our last meal here was disappointing" and that the menu was "uninspired", with "an unfocused mishmash of Euro-Asian dishes" that gave "the sense you’re supposed to be impressed" but failed to deliver. It closed with a hope that "We believe the real Orsa & Winston will come back, but we’re just going to have to wait for it a little bit longer."[6]
Orsa & Winston retained its Michelin star in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 editions of the Guide.[2]
