   We have enjoyed the orchard many times but our experience this time was awful. The service was absolutely terrible. It took a very long time for us to be asked to order when we eventually ordered it took a very long time for each coarse to arrive. The food was good but the service spoiled our entire experience. We had friends from MD drive two hours to meet us we were embarrassed and very disappointed. The Orchards you need to do better!

   Worst dining experience I ever had. They were wildly unprepared for Valentine's Day. Will never eat here again.

   I went here for my two year anniversary on Valentine’s Day and we ended up walking out and having a terrible evening. First off the customer service was horrible I called and the woman who answered was very rude to me. We were seated right away because we had a reservation and were approached by our server five minutes after sitting down. We put in our appetizer and entree order and an hour and a half went by and we did not even get our appetizer. We had to walk out because we were starving and did not see our server after she took our order. They took on WAY too many people for the night which made everything take extremely long. Even with a limited menu they struggled to serve guests in time which. It truly was an unpleasant night because we were hungry and just worried about when we would get our food. If I could give a zero I would but that’s not an option. We will never be going back or recommending this place to anyone.

   Had a reservation for a valentines dinner. I drove around 4 hours to come home and drive to the restaurant. We sat for 2.5 hours and received nothing. At about the 2 hour mark we were told bread was coming, 35 mins later there was no bread and we left. Complete waste of time and money spent on outfits and gas. Had to eat food in our car from a takeout place down the road. Will never go back.

   Everything was good as always. We sat at the bar before dinner. It was a good experience all round.

   We were seated promptly and the staff were friendly. The waitress was helpful with questions regarding the menu. Food was prepared and brought out in a timely manner. The men at the table had Ribeye steak and the ladies had Salmon and salad. Everyone’s food was excellent. The steaks were tender and prepared as ordered. My wife said it was the best salmon she’s had. We had the cheesecake for dessert. That was excellent as well. I would recommend The Orchards for a date night or special occasion.

   The food and service were exceptional but the inside temperature could have been turned up a bit.
