It is a nice setting and the staff was very accommodating. We had to move our time around a bit and they were so nice about it. However, it was expensive in regards to the setting, amenities, neighborhood, etc. Most importantly, I called ahead to confirm they had candles as they knew we were celebrating a birthday and when our dessert came out...no candle or recognition of the event. This was the reason for our gathering 🎂💔

I took a dear friend to the Orchard Townhouse recently. We sat in their garden on the first really warm summer night and it was FLAWLESS! The service was outstanding — our new best friends for sure. Manuel the manager stopped by to say hello and made us feel adored. They’re expanding the garden so you can go and bring all your nice friends. We both had the kale salad, which was perfect on a warm night. There was a subtle underbed of 80s music playing, which we sang along to after splitting a perfectly chilled bottle of rose. The chocolate mousse and cookies with ice cream were fab as well. I was as happy as could be by the time I left. It was a whole vacation in under 3 hours. Love them! ❤️

Loved the food, drinks and the service. Had the beef carpaccio and Kale Caesar which were plentiful. And my husband had a pasta with crab and burrata. However when we pointed out the lack of crab in the pasta our waiter was very apologetic and promptly some crab. Thank you!

Warm environment with opportunities to improve its service. The wait time between meal times was considerably long. The food was delicious, however.
