WE HAD A WONDERFUL LUNCH AT THE GREEN ORCHID ON JULY 2ND 2026. THE SETTING WAS PERFECT, AMBIANCE EXCELLENT, AND WE APPRECIATED THE SERVICE OF OUR SERVER, ASHLEY, WHO WAS VERY ATTENTIVE AND COURTEOUS. WE WERE CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY, AND THIS WAS A PERFECT WAY TO SPEND THE DAY. THANK YOU AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE RESTAURANT, ITS STAFF, AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE FOOD.
Everything was perfect. Food was delicious and our server (Rebecca) made us feel welcome and answered any questions we had.
Wonderful lunch! Plenty of healthy fresh choices. We’ll be back!

The Green Orchid by Michael's On East is a restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience in a serene setting. Surrounded by lush plants and peaceful garden views, the atmosphere is pleasant and charming, enhanced by a rooftop garden that adds beauty to the space. The service is attentive, with servers providing great recommendations, and guests have noted the friendliness of staff members, including Gabi and Amy, who are recognized for their exceptional service.
The menu features unique and creative dishes, such as Yucca Fries with Chipotle Sauce, Coconut Curry Soup with pulled Chicken, and Crispy Goat Cheese Salad. The food is consistently praised for its freshness and flavor, with some greens sourced directly from the rooftop garden. The vegetarian options, like the portobello mushroom burger, are appreciated for not feeling like an afterthought.
The restaurant's commitment to sustainability, with 100% solar power, is commendable. Guests have enjoyed the tasty food and fun presentation, with flowers adorning the plates. While some have suggested adding background music to liven up the ambiance, the overall experience remains highly recommended for those seeking fresh, creative, and sustainable meals in the heart of Sarasota.
