Orange - View this location on map 'Orange lives up to its name: rows of oranges behind the counter wait to be squeezed by the order, coffee is flavored with essence of orange, and the restaurant s sign is on an orange crate in the large front window. The menu is full of whimsical surprises: coconut-milk-soaked French toast kebabs skewered with fruit; the Jelly Doughnut Pancake (a Swedish pancake filled with a different jelly every week); and Green Eggs and Ham (three eggs scrambled with pesto, roasted tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and pancetta). Combine the juice bar and the BYO policy and you ve also got the makings of a mean mimosa or Bloody Mary. In the evenings the space is transformed into a white-tablecloth restaurant with upscale offerings like a horseradish-crusted aged fillet, pork osso buco, and on the more whimsical side once more, fried chicken and waffles.
