We ate here 7 yrs ago & we thought these were the best oysters we ever had & thought so for the intervening yrs. Well we remembered the place & returned today & they're still the best oysters ever.
The Halibut was amazing as was the pork schnitzel.
Good to see the same guy/boss from last time.

Had a great experience at L'Original! The service was warm & attentive from start to finish. The standout dish was definitely the maple Brussels sprouts-perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweetness & texture. Our server also got us shots!

If you're looking for elevated comfort food in a cozy setting, L'Original delivers. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!
