I brought the family here for a celebratory dinner of my daughters HS graduation. We Ordered many items on the menu, including the tuna steak, ravioli, baked ziti and some others. The food was great and the service was superb! One of the Tuna steaks came well done instead of medium, so they took it back without hesitation, looks, complaints etc. The quickly replaced it with a medium tuna steak. The ravioli was very good, but the sauce seemed to be a vodka sauce, which I am not a fan of, but it was very good.I would come here again anytime we want to celebrate. It was very expensive, but the food and service make it worth it for special occasions.

One of the Better Kosher Milk Places in NY!Great ambiance! Very good range of items on the menu.I had the vegetable lasagna and it was delicious. The vegetables inside were left slightly al dente giving a nice crunch inside each bite. My only issue was with the service, it was very good but they dont function as a single waiter for each table but rather all servers help all tables. I find a disconnect happens when restaurants function this way and our dishes were brought out as they were made instead of served together as a meal.The owner was walking around and asking each table how they were doing and I like when owners do that.

Super polite staff, very well mannered and there was an older gentleman who kept trying to make my friend and I laugh - he was so nice. The food is pretty good, I highly recommend the mushroom ravioli in cream sauce and the mushroom drops. I don't think the sushi is the strongpoint here and perhaps should be removed off the menu because it seems a bit out of place. The french onion soup was nice but I needed to add salt. And the cappuccino cheesecake was really soft and delectable. It's completely kosher so if you have a friend who is very strict with that, this is the place to take them to.

Hands-down the best place to throw a party in Brooklyn, if not all of NYC. Hard to adequately describe the amazing party we had at Orchidea for my mom's milestone birthday - the private room was so beautifully decorated, the food so delicious, the service impeccable. All the guests raved about it - the artistic presentation of the food, the generous portions, the attentive service, the valet parking - everything! I had looked at several other restaurants for this special occasion, and was not excited about any of them, so I called Orchidea after reading the Yelp reviews (I had never been to Orchidea before). From the first call with Mazal I had a good feeling - she was warm, courteous and responsive. My experience only got better and better. I cannot say enough about Ofer - what a genuine pleasure to deal with. Made me feel so welcome from the minute I set foot in the restaurant for the first time, so generous with his time, so meticulous in every detail. He handled everything, and I want to mention in particular what a beautiful, tasteful job he did on the printed menus and the table settings. My mom was so impressed! It was absolutely effortless on my part, and all because of Ofer. Five stars all around. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable event!

I'm really not sure how this place has four stars. I went to Orchidea last night and was appalled at both the service and the food. While there was a party going on in the back room, the main floor of the restaurant was fairly empty. It took me ten minutes to waive someone down and the waiter who finally approached my table acted like he was in a hurry and interrupted our conversation a couple of times to talk to another staffer. This was typical of what I would experience here the whole night with people who seemed to not see us when we tried to catch their attention. I will say the place was fairly empty my friend and I were allowed to loiter at the table for a while which was pleasant. The main reason, though, that I'm giving Orchidea a 2 is because the food was terrible. I ordered two sushi rolls which, for basic rolls are expensive enough, and then was informed that in order to switch out the rice for cucumber (why was wrapping my rolls in seaweed not enough?) I would have to pay an additional $2.50 per roll. Now, as I've said in previous reviews, I don't care about the price: as long as I feel like I'm getting the quality that the price calls for. In case you don't know where I'm going with this: the food was subpar. I would not have paid $3 per roll. The fish tasted old, the wasabi even LOOKED old and dried out, and they were wrapped in so much cucumber that I could hardly taste the actual fish (which was a good thing, I later discovered when I got tired of all the cucumber and unwrapped my fish). I was somewhat concerned that I would get sick from the fish.My friend seemed to enjoy her portabella mushroom salad, and, as always, their bread is fantastic.

Decent place for a bite. Excellent dragon sushi roll and fish. Parking situation can be iffy. Went to the buffett on chanuka and was unimpressed.

If it were up to me I would give this restaurant no stars. The service was horrible from the moment I stepped in to the place. I was there as a party of three and I did not get seated for 40 minutes. I ordered the tilapia sticks expecting a fine appetizer but that was not what I got. I recieved three pieces of fish sticks in a lemon for 20 dollars. That is so not acceptable for a fine dining kosher experience. I left dinner very unsatisfied and will definitely not go again. I was expecting more from this restaurant.

I have been going to Orchidea for years and it is my main go-to dairy restaurant.The food is so heavenly, especial the smoked eggplant in cream sauce. They do fish perfectly it is never dry or overdone and presentation is gorgeous.

I've read numerous reviews about this place and wasn't sure if coming here would be a good idea, but I figured that I would give it a try anyway. I thought that this place was phenomenal. I was with my girlfriend when we decided to get a salmon dish and ravioli (mushroom +spinach) -- at first the portions looked like that of a pretentious establishment (=small and pretty), BUT they were surprisingly substantial. The salmon was perfectly balanced and was prepared to perfection. It came with mashed potatoes and edible decorative material next to it -- simple, yet satisfying. The ravioli was also prepared very well (most of the places I've been to really have to bring it to the next level!!!). That alone I would give 4 stars, but I was very impressed with the following:They served us a loaf of freshly prepared bread (on a cutting board), and KEPT a bottle of water on the table. It was much nicer that I didn't have to keep on bothering them for bread or water -- they let us be. Normally the restaurants walk around and pour a glass here and a glass there, sometimes they give a few pieces of bread -- but here, I didn't have to rely on the servers which was a very nice change. Also, in terms of efficiency (for those who walk around aimlessly), just give us the water bottle!! I must also add that-1) the butter was high quality 2) the butter was actually butter (not mayonnaise!!) "Cafe muskat" in Queens calls garlic mayonnaise a delicacy, so I had to add that for those of you who may be confused.I got a deal through "groupon" and it didn't seem to be a problem (the food happens to be a bit pricey here). The guy in front was a friendly guy.4.855/5.000
