Orlando Hitzig

Orlando Hitzig, the chef, was the chef at Blue Point Grill in Alexandria for two years and executive Sous Chef at 701 restaurant for six.  He has one simple philosophy, food needs to taste good.  Believing that there are already plenty of flavors in food, and it just needs to be brought forward means that there would not be an over-emphasis on crusting or covering up food with heavy sauces. Orlando creates menu items with  a clean and soulful flair. The food satisfies beyond expectations, and does so without any hint of pretense.
