    Daughter and I had dinner before a Sunday night show at the Orpheum. We both had salmon (very good, perfectly cooked), shared a bottle of wine and a slice of cake for dessert. Staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. I may tell Hubs we need to check it out for date night and try some other menu items.

    Food has always been delicious! Today we dined on Caesar Salad (with Chicken) & Maude’s Garden Salad (with Chicken) . Both plates were large portions & satisfying but we were not overly stuffed. Our wait staff was friendly & timely.

    I have been dining there, before Orpheum shows, for over 15 years and have experienced many of the changes. I really enjoy the recent renovation. Our server today was awesome (which is not always the case). I am having a hard time with the increase in pricing (I know it is necessary.) I would like to be able to order a soup/salad/sandwich combo, or a charcuterie board when I am not very hunger.

    Food was very very sub par. I’m actually shocked. The service was great, and our server was very attentive, but I’ll probably never go back.

    We arrived at our reservation time at 5:45 pm. Our waiter took our order at 6pm. Food was delivered to our table at 7 pm, so we literally had ten minutes to eat and get to the show at the Orpheum.

    Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the delay in service, and we understand how important it was for you to have enough time before your show at the Orpheum. We will address this with our team to improve timing and ensure a more efficient experience in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time.

    Our server was amazing!!! He gave our grandson who just turned 5 extra attention!!! They had a good runner Tuesday night and that really improved getting the food to the table in a timely manor.
