"We had very high expectations going in after having read all of the raving reviews. High expectations have often led to disappointment for us but Orchard Green did not let us down! It was amazing! We decided to head downstairs to the lounge so that we could try the burgers and sandwiches. Here’s the rundown of what we got and what we thought: Crab cakes: small but heavenly! And crammed FULL of tender crab (not a bunch of fillers). The sauces and flavors on the plate were the perfect complement to the crab. A fantastic start. Artisan cheese board: I wish I could buy every sauce they had on that platter, the flavors were rich and unique and fantastic paired with the yummy cheeses and breads. Lobster squash bisque: exactly what you expect, creamy and comforting. Caesar salad: the only disappointment we had. We love Caesar salad but we felt like this Caesar dressing was lacking in flavor to our personal tastes. But lettuce was crisp and the garnishes were perfect for a Caesar salad, especially the yummy crisps for croutons. OG Burger: Amazing! One of my favorite burgers I’ve ever had. So much flavor in the meat (which can be such a miss at some restaurants), and the flavor of everything on it was wonderful. Loved having it on focaccia bread. The fact that you can get a burger this beautifully made for $6 on Thursday nights (half off) blows my mind. We will be back for that. Cheesesteak sandwich: I could smell the amazing flavor before I even bit in—SO good! The meat is tender, it was not a disappointment in any way. Oatmeal pie: I had never had an oatmeal pie before. I was happily surprised and enchanted with it. It’s VERY sweet and very delicious. The texture where the caramel crystallizes on the bottom crust is heavenly. And the vanilla bean gelato had a very genuine vanilla bean flavor to it, a perfect pairing with the pie. Peanut butter mousse: not very sweet so it’s richness really comes from the flavor of the peanut butter and chocolate and not a bunch of extra sugar, which I liked. Very smooth and creamy. It was room temperature which surprised me for some reason, we decided to take it home and try it chilled. Conclusion: we WILL be back. Excellent in every way. And the staff was incredibly kind and accommodating as well."
