| - I so want this place to do well!! We have had three meals from Orchard Eats since they opened, and tonight was by far the best.
OE is a cute restaurant with colorful, comfortable, "urban retro" feel. Walk up counter for ordering, but food delivered to your table. Obviously homemade food, with a good variety for almost any palate, especially vegetarian. Some advertised local veggies and meats. Soups are tasty and not overly salty. Steak Medallion plate, fairly well prepared; meat was delicious, but Potato Cake 'different' shall we say? Burgers and fries are quite sizable (even share-able) and fairly flavorful, but a little messy. Monterey Chicken/Mushroom Crepe was a pleasant surprise...very tasty; steamed veggies and rice on menu, but no rice tonight, so I got a salad. Which I think would be a better choice. Rice would take away from the crepe in my opinion. Husband got the TAB (Tom/avo/bacon), added cheese, and it was huge and delicious, as were the fries. Raw sugar, lemon, & butter crepe for take-home dessert was $$$!!!! The manager and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Carry out cups are generously provided. Call ahead/carry out is nice, especially since it is "in the neighborhood".
Orchard Eats has a homespun feel of local teens/ family working together, which is appealing. Prices are a tad steep in general, for a family style place, but having good food is not without a cost, so we try not to quibble, since portions are generous.
I think you will enjoy your experience overall.
