About Orienta Restaurant

Orienta Restaurant is a luxury French-Asian fusion eatery located near Main Street, Greenwich. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and welcoming, with low lighting and tables that are a bit too close together. The family-owned restaurant offers a great selection from Chef Adrian’s vision of French and Southeast Asian cuisine, creating an awesome combination. Despite the high prices, with a meal for six people exceeding $900, the culinary experience is exceptional and worth it.

Standouts include the baby back ribs, spicy duck lo mein, and the must-try Vietnamese crepe, which has even beaten Bobby Flay on his show. The lobster shooters, served in a shot glass with a coconut curry concoction, are also highly recommended. Other popular dishes are the salt and pepper cod over garlicky fried rice, shaken beef, and Rockstar shrimp, which features fried popcorn shrimp with sweet chili sauce. The lobster shooters and the signature cod are some of the best lunch options, praised by many customers.

The restaurant also provides a unique dessert collection, including coconut panna cotta, key lime pie, passion fruit pavlova, and the favorite, coconut tapioca pudding. The steak frites, served with Szechuan maitre'd butter and spicy mayo, is another standout dish. Guests often leave with plans to return, appreciating the care put into each meal and the cozy yet elegant atmosphere.

Orienta is a great spot for a date or birthday celebration, and when the weather is nice, guests can sit outside on the patio. Reservations are recommended as it can fill up quickly. While the menu is delicious, regulars have suggested adding new items and more options for those with dietary restrictions. The staff, including servers like Mo and Mike at the front of the house, are known for being attentive and accommodating. Overall, the atmosphere remains upscale yet unpretentious, making it a perfect place for a special night out.
