I have a question. Is this their recipe for citrus hollandaise that they put on their shrimp and grits? I usually use Land 'O Lakes butter. Is that good enough for this recipe?

  We recommend using Kerrygold (Irish butter). Also make sure that the butter is fairly new as butter that has been stored in the refrigerator for a while can absorb odors from other foods and alter the flavor of the butter.

Just made this and it was delicious. Not overwhelmingly citrusy but had enough orange in it to really go nicely with the fish I served. I've never had the restaurant version but to the other reviewer I don't know how it could possibly be a clear butter sauce that they serve and still have orange juice in it. Mine wasn't all that cloudy but it wasn't clear either. I'd also ask what kind of wine you used, as that may have made it taste too orangy or something. I thought this sauce was very nice as written.

  What kind of butter did you use? That could make a huge difference.
