| - This is a beautiful and worthy concept restaurant. The views are spectacular, service is top notch and food is amazing.
So, why only 4 stars?
My wife made reservations on the Orange Sky web site for an early seating, requesting a western view to view the sunset (hence the name Orange Sky). When the restaurant called a couple days before our dining reservation, she was told we'd be sitting in a location with a partial view of the west, but mostly of the McDowell Mountains to the east and the golf course. She again asked the caller from Orange Sky to do what she could to get us a better view. After reading a few reviews, it became apparent to us the online reservation system does not necessarily ensure preferred seating. I called back to get the view we wanted and lo, there was availability. Annoying to say the least. If they get this squared away, the place could reach 5-star status.
The service and food was exceptional. I had the veal chop which was delicious. My wife had their NY Strip and it too was prepared excellently. Everything that came from the kitchen was beautiful in presentation and delicious on the palate. The wine list was going through some changes as the new Sommelier, Wednesday, was working on some new features. The list is quite nice, showcasing several decent value wines as well as the obligatory over the top Ch. Haut-Brion & Ch. Petrus. Both of these are available for stupid money.
I would return to OS, for the food, service and view again. It is certainly worth the price of admission in our opinion.
