Disappointed, promised a private space for a group bday meal… in a room w 8 other tables. Kind waitress, but food arrived cold & not optimal for prices charged.

Met a few girlfriends for dinner and we had a great time. The charcuterie (soooo good!) was excellent for the price, as were the crispy artichokes. Portion sizes for entrees were on the small side for the price. Short rib gnocchi was very good but it was also dry and could have used more sauce. I had a glass of Sauv Blanc ($17 for 5oz pour) and it was just okay. We had a 7pm reservation and they turned the music off around 8pm (they close at 9), which shifted the atmosphere a bit. The interior is absolutely beautiful and seating was comfortable. Definitely would return!

Disappointing. 45 minutes to be served, did not bring what I ordered. Did not refresh the coffee (I was there for brunch). Food was "ok" at best. $14 Bloody Mary with no garnish. The physical building and property are beautiful, just wished the experience lived up to the $100 bill

Wonderful experience at Orchid House. Delicious food and Linley was fabulous! We had the crispy artichokes which were to die for 😉 The meatball was much too spicy for my taste and no warning on the menu about that, so Linley switched it out to a delicious Crab Cake. My friend had the $10burger which she thoroughly enjoyed. Now for the wine… the Pinot Noir was absolutely excellent for a Napa CA wine! And the champagne toast at the end was a great treat. I will be back.

I went to Orchid House last night for wine and dessert. I asked the server to list the white wines from driest to sweetest and she couldn't. I asked her what was a good dessert wine. She didn't know. She said she hasn't tried all the wines, yet. I asked her how long she had been working there, thinking a week or two. She said four months. I suggested she try the wines and learn them. I thought, "this is ok. I'll go with samples." She couldn't tell me the order to drink the wines based on flavor profile. She said, "we don't do that here. You just drink them." I have never in all my days, going to some of the simplest wineries, not had someone give me an order to drink the wine. She forgot which one was which. So I just drank them. When she came back she asked if I decided on a glass, but seeing that I didn't know what I was drinking I just stuck to the three samples. We ordered pumpkin creme brulee and a piece of cheesecake. She brought the cheese cake and said, "I have two spoons for you." So we giggled and just shared the cheesecake. It was the cheapest night out since I couldn't order the wine and only got half the food we ordered. We had a lovely time walking around the garden. It's a beautiful facility and I took home one of The Root Hospitality magazines. I see that you are trying to be something excellent in the restaurant scene, and from the top you are striving towards excellence. I would suggest that you invest in training your serving staff so the bottom of your organization can make a positive impact on your guest's experience, also. I might come back for the garden, but I'm not in a rush to do so. I sincerely hope this review helps your business to improve, because you can be unmatched in local dining experience if you get this right. Best wishes.

We had a delicious dinner this evening. I had the scallops and my husband had the rack of lamb. Everything was excellent! Lynley was our server and she was excellent! We will be back!

The food, drinks, and atmosphere were great! What brought down the overall experience was the service. Service was very slow and we sat for extended periods of time without waitress coming to check in.
Justin
This place was amazing! The inside was as beautiful as the outside. The food was delicious and of super high quality! The drinks were top notch. If you are looking for a fabulous place for a great Tuesday evening the live music was spectacular as well. We are already planning our next visit.

Our family stopped in for early dinner and wine and had fantastic meals. The scenery is gorgeous, the food is amazing, the wines are delicious, the atmosphere was superb, and our waitress Lynley did a really great job. It's the perfect place to have a wedding!

I want to say thank you so much for a nice otmosvera, I am very cranky in the relationship of places but in reality the place is much cooler.
We went there for brunch and wine tasting. They were short on staff and took a while to get our wine and food. But the server was nice and friendly. Their wine was expensive but they offered a small tasting size with a reasonable price. I ordered Chicken & Gravy Biscuit and my partner ordered Crab & Eggs Benedict and both were really great! Their garden was very pretty and no wonder so many people would like to do a wedding party there. We will go back for dinner sometime.

Wonderful food and atmosphere to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Beautiful setting. Our waitress Lynley was knowledgeable and friendly, great service. We'll definitely be back!

I have never been to the Orchid House Winery, but had a very pleasant dinner there. The salmon dinner was great, the artichoke appetizer was fabulous. It was a little noisy with the music being a little too loud, but our waiter Lynley was very attentive and ask to have the music lower so we can talk. Lynley was very efficient and friendly, we had a good time with her. I will be going back to the Orchid House Winery some time soon

Great Burgers and salads! Plus live music and fantastic service from our waitress Linley. She was attentive, fun and made our evening very enjoyable. The atmosphere is classy yet casual and is perfect for a midweek happy hour that turns into a great dinner!

Chloe, our server was terrific. Since it was our first visit, she patiently guided us through the menu. Certainly a lively vibe and a beautiful venue. My wife had a burger (nightly special) and I had rack of lamb. Both were cooked to our satisfaction. My Mediterranean salad was disappointing and certainly over priced, as was the lamb rack. The cocktails and wine were very good
