Had fun. Told the server about an allergy and had a mild issue but still great atmosphere and really fun.

Great restaurant in a historic building with a quiet and relaxing ambiance. Food was delicious and service very friendly.

Vegetarian options: Limited but delicious vegetarian options given it is a steak house.

The service was excellent and I loved how intimate the feel of the restaurant was during dinner. I had the Duck with cranberry sauce and apple bread. It was Devine. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for the food was due to the lobster bisque soup. It was subpar at best and for a fine dining establishment I expected better flavor from this
dish. Also the parking was awful due to the street being under construction. I was advised they do have valet but only once I arrived for my dinner reservation did I find this out which would have saved me considerable stress prior to dinner.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable evening and meal at Orchard Green. We had Arctic Char and Saltimbocca for our entrees. Both were outstanding. Such a welcome pleasure to see white tablecloths in Iowa City. A special mention needs to be made of our server - Timo - a real professional.

This restaurant provided a great dining experience!

First time there tonight. Although we had reservations upstairs in the main dining room we opted to eat in the more casual lounge area. Service was a little slow, but I can’t really fault the server because I think she was the one in charge of the lounge area. Had we stuck with our upstairs reservation it may have been better. The main thing I wanted to mention is that the food was worth the wait. I had the swordfish and it was outstanding! Smoky and super flavorful, I wanted to lick the plate when finished. Honestly one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever had. My wife had the grilled shrimp, my son had the filet mignon and everyone loved their food. If you like craft cocktails they have a great selection of those too.

I must say, the price of the steak was quite high, but the experience was so remarkable that I eagerly anticipate repeating it. The exceptional service and ambiance were certainly worth the cost, but it was the extraordinary quality of the food that truly surpassed all expectations and brought me immense delight. ???

Went to the lounge. Food is normal bar fare. Nothing exciting. Nice atmosphere. Will try the upstairs restaurant next time.

Food went from 5 stars to 1 star because I have FOOD POISONING!!!

A very mixed experience. While the food was fantastic, the service was sub-par.

We had to ask for refills of water, for empty plates which we'd set to the side of the table to be removed, for anything really. The only time our waiter came to our table was when food was ready to be delivered. I suppose it was fortunate for us that we were seated right next to a computer system he needed to use often so that we could flag him down.

Pictured is the gnocchi. You can see both empty appetizer plates waiting to be picked up in the photo.

We attended orchard green to celebrate a birthday. Our server L**** was very friendly and got us started with some wine and cocktails. However we soon finished them and were not offered refills. We ordered the oysters and Brussels appetizers and they were fantastic! For entrees we got the ribeye and filet(which she recommended) , both were cooked to correct temp however the filet was very tough, so much so that I struggled to chew it. I would have ordered something else however our waitress never checked on us after we tried the food ( she did check on us almost immediately after the food was delivered but we hadn’t tried it yet) in this time we also were out of water. She did return to offer us our complimentary dessert (for the birthday) but at this point we were ready to leave. Overall not the worst experience but I expected more for the price point. Also the corner they sat us in was very drafty so I would recommend a jacket.
