Comfort comes in the form of savory blue cheese beignets at this museum-like restaurant, with its vaulted, muraled ceiling, pink marble tabletops and gilded frescoes. From its brass accents to its original Rookwood fountain, Orchids exudes an elegant, historic air. Service is professional, and the food presentation is dramatic. The seasonal menu varies from foie gras with cranberries and vanilla pound cake to pork belly with pine nuts and truffles or red snapper with curry vinaigrette, Vidalia onions and tart apple tzatziki. Whatever, the options, the chef's tasting is a wise buy ($65 or $95 with wine pairings), offering the likes of Maine lobster salad with "fried" egg, parsley, crème fraîche and caviar cream or lamb with celery root, oyster mushrooms and almonds in juniper berry sauce. A vegetarian tasting menu holds appeal, too, perhaps with crisp tofu with smoked paprika, arugula and grapefruit or fettuccine with truffles and mushrooms. Desserts include warm chocolate custard and frozen caramel mousse.
