A Memorable Valentine’s Dinner Experience – 5 Stars Our Valentine’s Day dinner started off rocky, with a 45-minute delay that had us initially questioning the evening ahead. However, the professionalism and poise of the staff quickly turned things around, led by the exceptional hostess, Gianna. Her calm demeanor, thorough explanations regarding the Winter Wonderland Igloo seating delay, and ability to ease frustrations transformed what could have been a disappointing start into a positive experience. Inside, the ambiance was spectacular, thanks to the live piano, drummer, and a singer whose inspiring vocals filled the room. This musical trio set a romantic and elegant tone for the evening, creating an atmosphere that immediately lifted our spirits. Once seated, Daniel, our server, truly stole the show. His impeccable service and friendly demeanor helped reignite our excitement for the night. The food itself was a masterpiece—steaks cooked to perfection, seasoned expertly, and presented with artistry by the talented Trell. Each dish was a testament to the restaurant’s culinary excellence. Even the manager, Trent, went above and beyond, personally ensuring our experience met the highest standards. His leadership and genuine concern for guests were evident and greatly appreciated. The valet service, bussing crew, and everyone involved delivered outstanding service, rounding out the evening beautifully. A special shoutout to Becca staff, whose bespoke service continues to set this establishment apart. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction are why we continue to return time and again. Despite the rocky start, the professionalism, warmth, and skill of the entire team made this a Valentine’s Day to remember. Five stars all the way—thank you for creating such a magical experience!

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Lee, who was incredibly kind and took the time to personally greet everyone. The staff were just as welcoming, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between modern elegance and cozy warmth. The course meal exceeded all expectations—each dish was thoughtfully designed with exceptional taste, creativity, and a seamless flow of service. The alcohol pairing was also expertly curated, enhancing the overall experience. What stood out most was Chef Lee’s dedication to sustainability in his restaurant. I recommend visiting the website prior to your visit to understand his intent with the non-profit org. His vision is truly inspiring, and I deeply respect his ambition. Highly recommended to everyone. - Isaac

This was my first visit to Orion’s and it was spectacular. My wife and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary there and the staff and the food were excellent. The view and the atmosphere really made the evening special.

Had dinner with my Mom who was visiting out of town. Our server was Sean. Sean was prompt, friendly, accommodating and personable, he even did offer some great dishes. First we shared the brusssel sprouts, which were recommended and very delicious. Mom had the single crab cake and she said her dinner was great! I had the pork ribeye with posted pork ribeye with potatoes and asparagus, divine! After dinner we shared an apple cheesecake but at Sean’s suggestion we put raspberry sauce on it. It was lovely! I would surely recommend the Hunt Room to anyone. Enjoy!

As usual, Metropolis was great. The food is imaginative and delicious and the cocktails are above and beyond. We returned the next night just for a nightcap.
