All enjoyed our selected meals. The Morten Bay bugs were delicious. Two if us had porterhouse steaks and they were cooked as requested and tender. Josh was our server and did a great job.

The vegetarian selection is still utterly rubbish. Why can’t there be one dish that’s actually not terrible or weird combinations. Also the slaw was pure mustard - the schnitzel was super crispy though

Even though two of our party last minute couldn’t make it, the staff at Orrong were immediately accommodating. Then the food - steak medium and medium rare were to rave about. Thanks team - a very enjoyable evening

We had the parmo for dinner and I must say for $25 it was worth every cent. The parmo was fresh and the cheese top was yum. Chip's were crunchy and thick. The side salad was delicious also. Every thing was hot and fresh. Will be going back for Thursday night special.
