We had about a 5 minute wait. I LOVE their bloody Mary's and my husband loves their spicy bloody so we each had one of those. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. I loved my salmon toast. I forgot about the hash brown side - they taste fine but I'm just not huge on hash browns so I would have chosen a different side. Since it was my birthday, the waitress brought a small plate with 6 macarons - one with a candle. It was the perfect small treat to polish off our brunch! Delicious caramel and chocolate bite!

My friend from work and I came here tonight. Wow. They have an informal lounge downstairs and a more formal dining room upstairs. The lounge has the same menu plus a lounge menu. So we chose more choice. The lounge was kinda dark and it's not fancy. But it's clean and open. It's fine. The server was terrific. Ash accommodated our need for separate checks (for us each to bill for our meal). She was attentive and pleasant. I asked her what she liked better between a couple of things and she gave me an honest answer. I followed her recommendation, The beet salad was lovely. the dressing had some goat cheese in it and was delicious. The fresh beets on the side really worked with the dressing. My friend got the cheese platter to start and there was lots of cheese. He loved it. He got the lounge version of the salmon, which he thought was great. I got the Artic Char, which was delicate and phenomenal. It was topped with pieces of lobster and caviar like eggs. The fish was delicate and the sauce rich, but not overpowering. It was delightful. We both loved our meals and highly recommend Orchard Green.

Incredible meal at Orchard Green!…read more While the upstairs dining area was booked for the evening, we were able to walk in and have an incredible meal in the lounge portion of the restaurant. A round of mocktails, crab cakes, and my delicious filet mignon was unbeatable. The steak was cooked perfectly and the garlic topping was the perfect touch. For desert, we shared a cheesecake and peanut butter mousse. The cheesecake was great, but the peanut butter mousse... quite literally one of the best desserts of my life! The balance of peanut butter and rich chocolate was perfect. Service was friendly and helpful, and the lounge was relaxed and comfortable. Would highly recommend Orchard Green for a nice dinner in the area!

Those fries would definitely be part of my "last meal".

Given that we were late in the day, there were also a few things on the menu that weren't available such as the yam fufu but that's okay. Had I did not realize that this place serves Ethiopian food in addition to other African and Caribbean food so I was absolutely overjoyed to order some familiar foods off of the menu! My husband had the tibs with potatoes and carrots and beets. He found the peppers to be fresh and bright and delicious, and the beets were tenderly cooked. He definitely was regretting not asking for it to be spicy because this was not spicy at all! A great point for dipping your toes into Ethiopian food without the intense spices and flavors that it is known for. I had the signature spinach and beef with cassava fufu and it was quite spicy and very flavorful! The spinach was obviously very fresh and high quality and retained a beautiful bright color of green. I am hoping to come back with more people earlier in the day to try out more of their food!

Also six pickled sardines, which are wonderful on the provided crackers. There's also a crab claw that is lovely. The tuna poke thing is very good. There a lump crab dish in a creamy sauce I don't think it needs. The crab is good. I could lose the sauce. The only bad part was the six shrimp. They're cooked in a way that they have a flavor I didn't love. That part I did not finish. But the server was wonderful. She could not have been nicer and more professional. She made our experience great. The server on the first night we came here was also great. They have great servers. The place has a high end bar and grill atmosphere. Everything looks really clean and well put together. This is a great place to eat.
