Wonderful first time at Blue Orchid. Alethea was very knowledgeable and helpful guiding us through our dinner. The Choo Chee and Crème Brûlée were the highlights for us. Also we enjoyed our cocktails and wine.

Outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely fantastic — every dish was prepared to perfection, bursting with flavor, and presented beautifully. On top of that, the value was incredible; the quality of the food far exceeded expectations for the price. What truly set this place apart, however, was the phenomenal service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure a memorable dining experience. It’s rare to find a restaurant that excels in both food and service. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an exceptional meal.

A couple of things threw me when I was first seated at a booth on the window. I was surprised to see the bench seat was considerably torn and not patched, and my menu pages (presented in a nice cover) were wet with beverage stains. The server was friendly, the food was fine. I hope Iguana on Park has plans to recover worn benches, as the booths are a lovely spot to enjoy a meal.

Great location and service and prices were very reasonable. Onion rings were extra large and delicious. The Carolina pork tasted delicious but was a little wet and minced for me.
