Restaurant Orsay

[jacksonvilleconfidential]

You guys probably knew the restaurant Crush (next to yesterdays on Park St.) that closed a few months ago. If not...wha eva. Anyway, my good friend Jon Insetta and Husband and Wife team Brian Siebenschuh and Crystal Vessels (yes, love the porn name) are re-opening the joint with a more comfortable feel and expanded menu as Restaurant Orsay and we have some awesome "teasers".

I graduated highschool with the "Lin" part of Ashlin farms, neat!

Happy hour was good.  Probably one of the best places in town for raw oysters... I still prefer Marks Happy hour tho...

Sounds great.
Where do they get their oysters ?

[Brian Siebenschuh]

We generally offer three or four different oysters at any given time - cold water oysters from the West Coast (either Washington State or British Columbia) and East Coast (anywhere from Virginia up to Prince Edward Island), and a gulf oyster - Apalachicola or Louisiana.  The barbecue was a success, turn out was more than we expected, so thanks to anybody on this board that came out - I hope you had a good time.

Stop talking about Orsay!  The more you talk, the more likely the people from Orange-Tucky will find out and start rolling up 17 to fill up the parking spots with mini-vans and crocs. 

(Love the place though.  Happy hour prices rock and the lounge was a brilliant idea)

What is Orsay's happy hour like? I haven't been in there since the location was Crush but I keep meaning to try it out...
