            New Year’s Eve experience. Very slow in getting meal out but food was good. Very noisy! Overpriced. Relatively small serving for the price. Charged $2.50 for ice in the cocktail drink?! Parking an issue! Restaurant was cold. Needed to wear a coat or sweater. Recommend making reservation. Appreciate the unique menu. Makes up for some of the downgrade. Good for a special occasion.

            Service and food always excellent. Last night however, it took a long time to get both our appetizer and dinners....but we understood that they were short of kitchen staff.

            We enjoyed live music, efficient service, friendly staff, and excellent food at the Blue Orchid last evening. Highly recommend the green curry with chicken.

            Terrible service. The entrees were ok, certainly not anything better than that. We ordered Thai iced teas to go with our appetizers and were told “we’re out of all the teas.” Really? Would that really happen or did they just not want to make them. Would not recommend.

            Waited twenty minutes for a table after arriving on time for our reservation. Weren't offered anything for our wait. Finally seated, we waited fifteen minutes for the first server to arrive. Food was decent, not as good as usual, and took forever. We used to go quite frequently, not so sure we'll continue going in future.

            We were having a celebratory dinner and this was the perfect place for it. Our server (Jason?) was attentive but not intrusive. Everyone loved their food and drinks. Topped off a great day and this was the perfect place for it.
