Oran Mor is located above an antique store on S. Beach Ave., and offers an imaginative menu, well prepared. You can see a sample menu on their web site. While we didn't eat there in 2002, in 2001 we found that their food was excellent but their service rather off-hand. This may have been a one-time occurrence, as they remain very well regarded.
Their menu descriptions tend towards the precious: you have to ask about what something means most of the time, and They Use Too Many Capital Letters.
