Designed by Jean Denoyer, Orsay strikes that difficult balance of sophistication and warmth. Dark mahogany paneled walls meet buttery Art Nouveau arches. Waves of hand-laid Italian mosaic tiles fan in beautiful patterns across the floor. Banquettes topped with frosted glass provide privacy, and soft lighting emanates from Art Nouveau chandeliers custom designed from one Denoyer found in a Paris antiques shop. A 20-foot zinc-topped bar and French doors spill onto a sidewalk terrace, completing this elegant Parisian-style brasserie. Orsay marries modern French and classic brasserie fare with an award-winning wine list including 225 predominantly French and American varietals.
