   The Asian Fusion cuisine at Orion’s is absolutely delicious. The scenic view from the rooftop is beyond breathtaking! Always request a table with a view: the tables facing North towards the “North End” is such a great gift, especially with the ones you love. The service was astounding and provided great recommendations. The food is unique and delicious.

   My first time visiting this restaurant and it was awesome! I wanted a grown and sexy vibe for my birthday and that’s what I got here. The food and drinks were awesome, and the service was great as well

   All of our food was wonderful with the exception of the Octopus salad. Just a little tough.

   As long-time patrons of Orion’s Roof, we’ve always appreciated the elevated dining experience it once offered. Unfortunately, our recent visit was deeply disappointing and far from what we’ve come to expect. We ordered a variety of dishes, including sushi, pad thai, fried rice, steak, mussels, and salmon. While the salmon was well-prepared and met our expectations, the rest of the meal fell short. The sushi rice was dry, the pad thai noodles lacked moisture, and the fried rice was overly salty. The steak, ordered medium, was served medium rare—a notable oversight. The shumai tasted like frozen, mass-produced dumplings, far removed from the fresh, flavorful offerings we anticipated. We ended up not finishing the mussels, pad thai, or sushi due to their lackluster flavors and quality. For a meal costing nearly $400, it was frustrating that most of the dishes (approximately 90%) failed to deliver. This experience did not reflect the high standards we once associated with Orion’s Roof. Regrettably, this may be our last visit, and we hope management takes these concerns seriously to restore the restaurant’s reputation.

   We visited Orion's roof this evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. I had been once prior and had a good experience but my husband and two middle school age kids had never been. Our server was very friendly but overall service was really slow; the drinks, the orders and even after one water refill we weren't offered any more for the rest of our meal. We ordered appetizers which were delicious. We then ordered a Caesar salad for all of us to share and that turned out to be disastrous. Immediately upon eating we all tasted a very gritty texture that basically seemed like the lettuce leaves had been drug through sand. We kept trying to figure out if it was some kind of spice or ingredient we hadn't read through carefully on the menu. When we finally got our server over I asked him what ingredient could be giving it that gritty texture and he looked horrified. He stated that it should not be gritty at all and quickly took all of our plates away. He was gone for about 10 minutes or so and then came back, apologized and said there would be no charge for the salad and we would have free desserts. We tried to put that behind us moving forward but after that point we all felt a little queasy realizing that we just been eating what was clearly dirty salad. The entrees took quite a while to come out but they were delicious. We had swordfish, salmon and a filet that were all equally well prepared. My husband and my daughter were not going to order dessert as they were feeling kind of full, but then they remembered that they said we had free dessert so all four of us ordered. It was all delicious but when they brought the bill we saw they only took off two desserts. When our waiter said we'd have free dessert I think it's reasonable to assume he meant the table. That should have been clarified and it ended the evening on a down note. Comparing the meal and pricing to what we've had at a place like Ruth's Chris, made this feel subpar. We will likely not visit again.

   We visited this time for my daughter’s Birthday! Bridget took great care of us. We had a friend surprise us and she graciously accommodated. We had the Hot Rock Wagyu appetizer and it was lovely. The Fillet was flavorful and cooked well, I enjoyed the swordfish however is was a thin cut. The deserts were great!
