    Overall Orienta was a pleasant and friendly little restaurant. The staff treated you like family and was very attentive. And the food was absolutely delicious.

    Duck lo mein
    Brooke Y.

    Orienta is a high-end, luxury French-Asian fusion restaurant centrally located near Main Street, Greenwich. Ambiance is understated, with low light and tables a bit too close to each other, bordering on cramped. Diners are permitted to eat at the bar, which opens up more cuisine area but eviscerates any casual bar scene. We arrived early and tried to grab a drink at the bar. The proprietor shoed us away as there was no room at the bar for drinks (perhaps something the restaurant should rethink). He was not overtly rude - but he wasn't particularly pleasant either. Surprised, we left for another bar and returned later for dinner. I'm glad we did. As part of a large group, we ordered a number of dishes and shared collectively. Everything was delicious (perhaps that's why the proprietor felt comfortable encouraging us to leave for a drink). For appetizers, the baby back ribs were the star - rich pork falling off the bone. For main dishes, the spicy duck lo mein is a must. Although the food is exceptional, prices are sky high. For six people, the cost exceeded $900 with very modest beverage consumption. I'll be back, but preferably on an expense account.

    What a wonderful gem of a restaurant! We stopped in because we wanted something different and boy were we pleased we decided to come here. The service was excellent, quick and efficient. I mentioned to my server that I had a food allergy and she was excellent in ensuring I avoided things I should not be having from the menu. For starters we had the pork spring rolls which were served with a delicious sauce. They suggested we rap them in the lettuce they provided and it was so good! For our entrees I had the Shaking beef plate and my girlfriend had the Spicy Duck Lo mein. Both of our meals were so good. The Shaking Beef was out of this world. The veggies and beef was cooked perfectly and tasted even better. My girlfriend really enjoyed her duck, she opted out of the lo mein and had the Jasmine rice which she preferred. I can definitely see ourselves coming back to try other items. The ambiance at the restaurant was so good. The lighting was perfect and it was nicely decorated. They have a long bar area available for dining as well.

    Overall it's a pretty good restaurant. The decorations are chic and the place has a nice vibe. Service was decent too. Food was good overall but tbh not very memorable.

    Orienta was a unique French-Vietnamese fusion restaurant with old world style and charm. The food was delicious -- not saturated in overwhelming flavors -- but subtle. The staff and owners clearly love what they do and it shows in the quality of each appetizer. Entrée and desert. While my partners steak was a little on the well-done side, my duck was prepared perfectly. The meat had just enough fat to hold flavor while not smothering the meat. Thanks for a great meal and birthday dinner for Ty!

    I really enjoyed this restaurant. The service was great, the dishes came out quickly and hot. I loved everything I tried and already excited to go back to try so many other things. Even their lunch menu is a little different. The one thing I didn't love was the dressing on the Salad Chinoise-- too much vinegar. Otherwise, great food and atmosphere. The coconut tapioca pudding was amazing as well. Such a unique place for Greenwich and conveniently located. Definitely try it!

    Orienta Greenwich is top Vietnamese with a French Twist that excels in delivering explosives flavors that adorn all master chef Adrien Bleck dishes and specials . The Shrimp Pho will rejuvenate and uplift your spirit. This is from now on one of my favorite table in the North East . Bravo Orienta ! Bon appétit PascalPicks

We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived, which was a great start to the evening. For an appetizer, we ordered the Calamars à la Plancha, and it was definitely an excellent choice: tender, flavorful, and delicious. For our main courses, we tried the duck (Magret de Canard), veal served with linguine (Veau), and the Cajun chicken (Poulet Cajun). All three were great choices and very enjoyable. A couple of suggestions: the veal cutlets had quite a bit of black pepper, so I think it would be better to let customers add it themselves according to their preference. We also ordered the truffle fries as a substitute for the pommes frites that normally come with the Cajun chicken, and they were absolutely delicious! And I can't forget to mention the excellent Kir Royale a perfect addition to the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with great food, pleasant service, and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd be happy to visit again!

We got the escargots to start alongside a salad, they also provide you with bread. We got the steak frites, mussel frites, and the steak tartare as mains and they were all solid options but nothing amazing. Prices were pretty high but overall an enjoyable experience and ambience.

Set in a pre-war stone building with two dining rooms, Chez Vous provides an intimate dining experience for Francophiles and those whose palettes have yet to be turned on to authentic French and French-inspired cuisine. From the chandelier in the front dining room to the spiderweb window-topped accordion glass doors that open into outdoor seating to the unique illustrations upon the tabletops, you'll feel as though you've stepped into a Paris bistro in the heart of Stamford. Mon Dieu! The warm goat cheese salad! I swore I wasn't going to eat it all, but somehow I emptied my plate. I added chicken and the meat was juicy and savory. The sour cherry vinaigrette was a lovely way to dress the toasted almond shavings and greens. The Montrachet melted in my mouth. The service was attentive and cordial. I felt bad they couldn't coax dessert because I've had their crème brûlée on another occasion and it was heavenly. C'est magnifique, Chez Vous!

Twice for our food order. I had the mushroom risotto, which was very bland, but the winners were the escargot, the shepherds, pie, and the lentils. If you order a bottle of wine, it seems you get faster attention. Are used to come here years ago, but I think it's under new ownership. Not sure I will definitely try it again. It is very convenient to the Avon theater. It is quite loud, but for many that would add to the festive environment. Not good for older people who have hearing issues! I must say that I thought the tableware, and the dishware was very attractive. The cargo was cooked to perfection. It is a reason to come there if that's one of your favorites.

I love French food and it's something we don't have very often so I was excited to come back. Unfortunately the food wasn't that great. The service was wonderful and the space hasn't changed (the carpets could probably be changed and the walls that have the quaint murals on them are dirty (splatters of food or drink were on the wall next to where I sat). My escargots and the foie gras were perfect, but the ravioli was overwhelmed by one of the sauces (a gravy type thing underneath). The filet was also very good, but I wouldn't say it was special. My husband got the scallops and there wasn't much of a saffron flavor to the saffron sauce. The worst part was our soufflés were all raw in the centers. We informed our waiter and they removed them from the bill, but overall it wasn't a great dinner, especially for the price.

However, we felt the service was overbearing, but many people may appreciate that. The food was very good, but not great for the prices. But you may be paying for the experience rather than the food. The restaurant is the height of elegance and the service although too much for me was impeccable. The clientele is almost all over sixty so it is not clear that this restaurant will withstand the test of time in the 21st century. Young people may not appreciate the charm and feel it is not worth the cost.
