Absolutely stunning venue. Food options are limited but really good, got 2 apps and entrees while there. It was all pretty good. Only thing that surprised us was a charge to bring our own cake in to celebrate a birthday. Would have been less surprised if we were warned when I called and mentioned it. Overall everyone was really nice and will probably go again in the future
The service was really slow, we just had entrees and drinks and service took 2 hours. We also had 2 gluten allergies at our table and were given 2 gluten free menus, but when we went to order the clam chowder (which we were very excited about) we were told it wasn't gluten free, even though it was labeled as such. The food was also very mediocre and it was so loud we could barely hear the people across our table. All in all I was very excited about this experience, but was sorely disappointed
Food was excellent. Service average. Wait staff would be better if not standing around talking to each other. Maybe check table?
Great day - the restaurant was buzzing and loud but a great energy throughout and the food and service were superb!
This was our second time dining since the expansion/remodel and it was excellent! We love the menu and ambiance. We drive over an hour away to dine here so that speaks to how good it is!
Food was very good but expensive. Service good. Not a good place for a quiet dinner. Very loud
The food was delicious and our server was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday and she made our son's night very special.
I feel I shouldn’t base this review on my first time dining here (thinking it could have been/should have been so much better). However, considering the price (over $225 for 3 of us, and I was the only one who had wine/alcohol), I was disappointed. While i absolutely loved the atmosphere, both the service and food were simply mediocre. My order was ridiculously screwed up (I ordered the salmon, but was given steak and lobster tail). As it was a birthday dinner/celebration, I told the waitress not to worry about it (and I didn’t really want to wait for the correct entree while my husband and son ate theirs). She went to the kitchen to explain, only to come back to tell me that what I was served was more expensive (and would be charged accordingly). The scallops my husband had were very good, but my son’s pasta dish was overcooked. We had to ask for salt and pepper, and I had to ask for my second glass of wine (no one asked if we needed/wanted either). At half the price, the experience would have been more acceptable.
We had a family dinner in the Vintners Pavilion at Orchard. The planning, menu choices, and execution were beyond our expectations. The food was delicious, and the hospitality/service outstanding. And the unique atmosphere made it even more special. Our thanks to Kenzie, Chef Michael, Grace and Eduardo from our family.
Amazing food, drink and atmosphere no matter which of the 3 bar and food locations you choose on the property.

Beautiful location. Great staff, very friendly. Food was just ok. Not worth the price. Not a wasted trip though, staff and atmosphere were amazing.

My review this time will be different than previous reviews. The building’s updated look fabulous! We were greeted with a warm welcome and given a table in the main dining room where it’s beautifully decorated in an open floor plan with tables and comfortable chairs. Although it looks spectacular, it doesn’t provide much privacy. When crying children came through, it echoed quite a bit so not much absorbed sound. Our server was inexperienced in the food industry. He described the Caesar salad as having “little fishies” on it and remarked vegan and vegetarian are the same. As one of us being a vegetarian, he was not able to recommend any vegetarian options even after checking with the head cook. This uncertainty on how handle a dietary restriction equates to a lower scale restaurant and not the goal they appear to be reaching of a high end restaurant. The menu indicated several side options with other meals so we could piece together a low protein meal.
The whipped Feta and hot honey was very dense but delicious with the hot honey. The crispy brussels sprouts were indeed crispy and well salted, to the point it lacked flavor. The orchard salad was a wonderfully fresh salad with fruit, a bit more dressing than my liking, so I’d recommend dressing on the side. The Caesar salad was a fantastic prime for a filet. The steak was of good quality and cooked phenomenally- charred on the outside and a perfect medium rare on the inside. I wouldn’t mind the cost of $12 for 5 asparagus if it was of good quality. The asparagus was a day or two past its prime and a bit woody. However the cook perfected it to the best of its ability. Overall our experience was alright. We encountered friendly staff but a bit under trained. The salad and steak were delightful. This was a usual go to, however, it’s moved down on our list with other phenomenal restaurants options in the area.

The old setup was very nice, but their new facility is beautiful!! Great food, great environment. My crab Benedict had a surprisingly amount of claw meat.
