    Love the place and bring back memories of when it used to be great. Steak was perfect and a really great value for what we paid. Their was a table with three kids that were allowed to run around the restaurant for the better part of an hour that was really distracting an took away from any feeling of being in a fine dinning establishment.

    My two sisters and I dined there on a Tuesday night at 8:00 PM. It was quiet, candles on the table, just the perfect atmosphere that we wanted. If you want to step back in time and enjoy a wonderful evening with family and/or friends, this is definitely the place to go!

    The dinner was excellent and we were treated wonderfully by entire staff. The salmon was tastefully prepared and delicious fresh cooked sides made the meal complete. My favorite was the chocolate peanut butter pie dessert, absolutely perfect and so artistically presented. Great music in background, superior decor and ambiance, a meal to remember Thank you Omni Netherland!!! Superior!!

    While I appreciated the manager coming to us & explaining the kitchen situation it is sad to see the state of a once beautiful hotel & brunch spot. The food is ok but the atmosphere & service is lacking.

    This was the first time after the new Orchids was established. I was very positive surprised. The menu is more Americanized but very well done. Quality was superb.

    Food was delicious. The room is amazing. It's a must see, even if you just sit in the bar. Server did a good job. But we had a few hiccups that may have been avoided by better restaurant management. Didn't see a manager. One of us waited a long time for their meal(which was a "special") . The meal came out after the rest of the party was finished eating. Coffee also took too long. Dessert was finished before the coffee arrived without sugar or spoons. We had to ask for our finished plates to be removed. Parking $21. Half of the patrons were wearing sweatpants/pjs and hoodies. It's a cool place, and could be fine dining if they stepped it up a bit.

    I took a friend to 1931 to celebrate her retirement and she loved the salmon she ordered. There was a piano player in the lounge, which added to the lovely ambiance of this restaurant. Our server was helpful and welcoming.
