Origins Bistro

This restaurant is a true local hidden gem. Every visit has been consistently excellent, with food that is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. You can taste the quality in every dish, and it never disappoints. It’s the kind of place you’re excited to return to again and again because you know the experience will be great every time. I would highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for outstanding food and a spot that feels special without trying too hard.

We have often passed this unassuming restaurant and we finally tried it. Why did we wait so long?!? We went with another local couple and we all agreed that this is one of our new favorites. It’s small with limited seating so I definitely suggest reservations. The food is outstanding! We started with the drunken clams and burrata appetizers which were so good we knew we were going to love the rest. We then received our orders of shrimp and lobster ravioli in a vodka sauce, seafood capellini, and scallops. Loved them so much that our plates were completely clean when they were cleared😁. We ordered tartufo for dessert which is usually basic but this tasted even better than most! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough - it’s a must try!

Honestly we were a little skeptical at first just based upon the appearance… it needs a good “pick me up”, some new lights, a fresh coat of paint on the walls, the table cloths were not ironed, and were very wrinkled. It’s a very small place, maybe 25 X 35 at best. The only real negative is they charge you $4 per soda, but they give it to you out of a can. I only know this, because I witnessed the waitress crack them open and pour them… a little steep for a small glass of soda, but the staff are super nice people and very friendly, and the food was really good!!! Beyond our expectations regarding the food. We would go back for sure!

This place is the definition of a hidden gem! One of those places you've driven by a million times and never even looked at. The food was absolutely delicious. We got Lobster Rav with shrimp in vodka sauce (special) the burrata app (special) and porkchop entree. The service was incredible. He was very attentive and the place inside is absolutely adorable. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely love everything about this place. Hidden gem around Brick and Pt. Pleasant area. Will definitely back to try their other dishes.
