I've been to Orleans for bar food and martinis before, and have never been extremely disappointed. They try to seem more fancy than they are, but recognizing that, I have been relatively pleased doing happy hour there. Last Sunday, however, I had brunch at Orleans, which made me hesitant to return. First the waiter tells us the bar has no horseradish for our bloody marys, the bartender went to ""find some"". Our coffee and water was never refilled. My eggs benedict had burnt english muffins and eggshells in it. Overall, boo on brunch. Go for drinks though.
Pros: martinis, semi-outdoors-ness
Cons: brunch, inconsistent service
