Our player pianos make us unique! But our food makes us special. We feature rich European-influenced American dishes using things like:
- Eggs from vegetarian-fed free-range chickens, high in healthy Omega 3 fatty acids
- White whole wheat flour, a variety naturally high in fiber yet light enough for pastry
- Vegetables from local farms that are certified organic growers
- Butter, milk, and ice cream from grass-fed cattle, another Omega 3 source.

Our food is not low-fat or low-calorie, but its ingredients are healthful. The meal will leave you feeling reinvigorated, not weighed down!

    Orchestria Palm Court is a hidden gem in San Jose. The food and service are outstanding. It's a treat to hear the beautiful melodies from antique music boxes and self-playing pianos.

    I always love visiting Orchestria Palm Court! The music machines are truly amazing and are in such great condition for 100-year-old devices. The food is very good, and the staff is always warm and friendly.

    I love this place. The service is impeccable, the food is always delicious, and all the antique pianos and music boxes create a wonderful ambiance. This last visit was for our 30th wedding anniversary, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it anywhere else.

    A really interesting place, with some great ideas, but overall not great. It was neat to see all the music machines, and the phosphates were excellent and unique. Everything else was underwhelming and the food highly overpriced.
