We enjoyed an amazing dinner celebrating our friend's birthday! Rick and Kasey were an excellent serving team, both engaging and attentive to our needs. We were excited to choose from the new menu. Our group of four enjoyed the Chilean sea bass, rack of lamb, crab cakes and snapper à la Oscar. The wine and cocktail list was extensive as well. We'll be back soon.
Amazing!! Our first time in Oriental and Gretchen’s was recommended to us by a local. We were blown away by the food! The service was over the top! Richard was amazing as both our host and our waiter. He went above and beyond and provided the BEST service. I recommend the Pear Martini to start and the cocktail crab claws were superb. The sweet pepper crab bisque was fantastic! My husband had the Halibut with grilled pineapple and fried corn. The pineapple and fried corn would have been a great meal on their own but the Halibut was seasoned to perfection and was tender and meaty. We will be back!!!
A welcome addition to this sleepy sailing town. We took our out of town guest here who is also a foodie and she raved on the bolognese. Her own words "... several flavors and tones that should be competing but harmonized instead." I had the roasted duck with the pureed carrots. Duck was not overdone and the orange fig sauce complimented it nicely. The carrots I think stole the show. The chef didn't skimped on the butter and I think there's a hint of nutmeg. Hubby ordered the whole flounder baked on parchment. I think that one needed a touch more seasoning. Presentation was on par with others we had on other restaurants. Service was superb. Our waiter was very attentive so was the owner who made sure he stopped at each table and didn't hesitate to clear plates when needed. Last but no
Wonderful dinner! Rick was awesome. We didn’t have reservations, but he made sure we got a table! We will definitely be back!
Big city dining meets small town convenience! We love our small town and are so blessed to have this fine dining experience close to home! Our party of 16 was treated to excellent service, top chef cuisine and first class ambience! Rick made sure our tables were set and ready and Kayla provided excellent service. Everyone's food arrived at the perfect temperature and at the same time. Not an easy feat with such a large party! Thank you for providing a memorable Valentine's celebration. Make sure to leave room for that delectable fried pound cake. Worth every penny and we were home in 5 minutes! Denise Meng
