The Orchard Townhouse delights with its charming ambiance, "amazing" food, and "excellent" service. Highlights include the standout spicy crab spaghetti and a beautifully balanced house salad. Guests appreciate the "peaceful" outdoor patio and attentive staff, though some note slow kitchen service. Overall, a delightful neighborhood gem worth visiting.

    Five of us dined here for the prix fix Thanksgiving. The place has a comfortable atmosphere, fitting for the restaurant name. We had a reservation and were promptly seated and met our server, who was friendly and prompt throughout. She gave us a few minutes to settle in for wine choices and brought the included cocktail. Starters included a savory celeriac soup and a salad big and flavorful enough for a meal. Main was a traditional turkey breast dinner with standout silky mashed potatoes and gravy served in whimsical gravy boats. Desserts included an oversized apple crumble and classic pumpkin pie. Everyone agreed we would do it again if we were in NYC for Thanksgiving. We also would go back for the regular menu.

    It really seems like something happened to the charming, vibey Orchard Townhouse. Went for dinner the other night and the windows were dirty, the lights were too bright, the music was bad, and there was a stale, grease-smoke smell in the air. The staff (bartender, hostess) seemed like they just were not jazzed to be there at all. It made us sad. But we won't be going back.

    I have been wanting to try Orchard Townhouse as I live in the Chelsea neighborhood -- it did not disappoint. The ambience is charming - quaint yet stylish; really loved the decor. It was easy to lose track of time on a peaceful, beautiful Saturday fall afternoon. I was a bit let down in the breaded chicken atop my Caesar salad - it felt like re-heated frozen chicken strips. I would get the burger or one of the sandwiches next time. Recommend this spot!
