“Joseph's is all about the experience. Each table is made private by sheer curtains that make the meal much more private than a typical restaurant. The servers are knowledgeable and happy to recommend a special or guide your food selection. Though the meals are a touch on the pricy side, this restaurant seems to be mostly reserved for a special occasion. Food options are typical for a high end steakhouse and many steaks follow a market price rather than described price. The French onion soup was some of the best I've had with a great ratio of broth to onion to cheese. It was a bit salty but certainly warmed up a cold march night. Originally I ordered the ribeye filet but was given a full ribeye at no additional charge. The steak was cooked to perfection and was delicious. With dessert options so board, everyone at the table will want to share a bite. The bread pudding was warm and flavorful. It came with a side of vanilla ice cream which helped to add moisture to the affair. Over all, great experience and I will definitely be back soon“

“First time trying Orchard Green and the food was delicious! They have a nice ambience upstairs as others have mentioned. We were a party of 4 and ordered the focaccia, walleye fish, halibut, roasted bison and the filet. I was debating between the scallops and bison and decided on the bison which was so good! It was a lot of food and I was so stuffed. The server we had was good. He was an older gentleman and he was attentive. It can get busy here but you can also make a reservation online. There is free valet parking where you drive to the back entrance and park right in front of the door and someone will come out. Apparently, they park your car where they can find a spot as well. We ended up doing street parking so you have to pay for meter unless you find free parking a few blocks away. Free parking in downtown Iowa City is harder to come by these days for those folks who are used to free parking in the outskirts of Iowa City.“

“Was taken out to dinner to celebrate graduating graduate school, so I don't know how much the bill was, but I absolutely loved the Rib Eye steak. They did it rare just the way I like it on the first try. Bison meatball app was killer, totally a vibe. Also, both their Manhattan and Old Fashioned were well made drinks that paired well with the rustic food. I chose Mac and cheese for my side and liked it, but ended up taking most of it home in a box. Other guest with me ordered salmon and said it was perfectly cooked so I included pictures as well.Definitely recommend for a date or a celebration of some kind, even if you're going alone I imagine the vibe could work well.“

“This little Korean restaurant inside the mall is a gem! The hours are a little limited since they close at seven, but I was finally able to try it out. I love the dolsot bibimbap which has a bunch of veggies and rice and a stone pot. It was super tasty! I also got the tteokbokki (rice cake) which came with a bunch of random fried things and was also super yummy! Def the best Korean restaurant in town, I can't wait to be back!“

“2nd time eating here. This place is very clean and has good customer service. The first time I order fish and fries. Now the fish was the biggest pieces of catfish I’ve seen. The fish had no season and it was really greasy. The fries were full of salt. I could not eat my food I called back and complained about the food and the guy who works up front was very understanding and was ready to refund me. I told him to not refund me just give me a credit and I’ll just try the wings the next time. I tried the wings finally with fried rice this time. The wings are nice size but it had little to no season on there. It just tasted like meat so I didn’t like them that much but oh boy the Fried Rice here is very delicious just plain vegetable fried rice and it’s amazing so I will definitely be ordering the fried rice more often I don’t know about the other menu items.“

Finally visited the downstairs but last night and was impressed with atmosphere and service :) you have good staff!“

“I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this location. 10/10 !!! I go alone and with my daughter and each time the food is fresh and the waiting staff is nice. And endless shrimp is ACTUALLY ENDLESS!! When they drop off a round to your table, they take the next order from you, unlike some location that are stingy with the shrimp and biscuits like it comes out there check. If you gonna go, go to this location!“

“Lovely dinner date with my husband. Ginger was an excellent server and made sure our experience was exceptional. The food was unique and delicious-the chef has made some traditional favorites his own and enhanced our enjoyment by making it an adventure in new things. Filet was perfect in the French Onion soup pairing, melt in your mouth! I don't think I've enjoyed a baked potato that much in years-lavish amount of butter made it better! Will return again-definitely worth the short drive from Iowa City to have top notch food.“

I do not eat garlic for food sensitivities and they were very accommodating and gave me the menu items they could make without garlic, which they made a separate curry. I ended up with the tofu curry which was delicious and full of flavor. We also got butter naan samosas which were very good. The atmosphere was also nice for a date night. Will be going back!“
