    Our waitress didn’t show up for the first 10 minutes. The food was good. However, for the price I expected better service.

    This is the first time I ate there since it became 1931. I loved Orchids, but nothing changed once the name changed. The service & food was amazing. The buffet was as amazing as always! I love it!!

    Our server Mahlet(?) was AMAZING and made my birthday very special! The breakfast buffet was top notch and everything was delish! My favorite was the pancakes - I see you pancake man! ❤️ The entire staff (minus the tall older lady at the hostess stand) was phenomenal! I can't wait to return hopefully we'll receive a friendlier greeting next time. :)

    Extremely poor food quality. The $17 wedge salad looked like it came from the Frisch's salad bar. My wife got the filet and it was ok at best, not the greatest cut of meat but cooked decent. I got the special "jerk salmon". Absolutely terrible. Overcooked, rubbery. Rice was very very old, held the ice cream scoop mold perfectly and stayed hard as a rock. Server wasn't attentive at all, walked by the table multiple times without checking in and flat out ignored us once we told him the food was terrible. Don't waste time and money here
