The Orville is located in a historic building. Upon arriving before we got to the front door, the host was already welcoming us with the door open. Every aspect of service was on point. Any drinks requests were taken when anyone’s glass was at a 1/4 left. The flavors and tenderness were amazing. Our family shared the steak tartare and the grilled octopus. Both had great texture and the grilled octopus melted in your mouth. Other dishes ordered were steak, scallops, pastas, pork chop, salad, and the heirloom tomatoes with burrata. Everyone commented about the flavors and great meals. The staff are working extremely hard to ensure everyone has a great time.

Came to enjoy dinner on the outdoor patio for it’s lovely atmosphere. Ordered a dirty martini & the steak tartare to start the night off. The caesar salad was so yummy & the lobster bisque too, only complaint is I wish the soup had larger lobster pieces in it for the price. For the entree had the carbonara plus protein, super rich and delicious.

My sister and I came here for dinner for the first time since it was The Poplar Inn. This was truly an A+ dining experience. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is excellent. Started with a pomegranate sangria which was very good. We shared an appetizer of artichoke dip with their homemade bread which was savory and perfect. We both had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. I have had many many steaks in my 50 years on earth and this was the best I’ve ever had. So much so that I’ve already made reservations to celebrate my birthday here. Ordered carrot cake to go and it looks fantastic! This is my new favorite restaurant.

Absolutely wonderful time at the Orville. Great spot for a date night or gathering with friends. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable with any menu questions. The chef was really helpful and even took time to talk through allergy questions. The food is very delicious and can be catered to any persons tastes. Highly recommend making a special trip to have a meal here.

Four of us had a wonderful meal and experience here. We tried a number of apps and entrees and each was very good. My fish fry was excellent … light and crispy. The baked fish was equally good. I also have to say the service team was superb… every single person from the world’s friendliest hostess to our servers was wonderful. Thanks!

Super cute patio area. I would visit just to sit there and enjoy a cocktail with friends. Definitely not cheap, but the food is super fresh with interesting and sometimes surprising combinations like the lemon zest in the bruschetta. Servers were professional and earnest. Overall a great experience. We’ll definitely be back to try some more.

I can’t rave enough out the Orville! Fantastic food, atmosphere, and staff. Tony, the owner, is incredible. We hosted a private event at the Orville. Sara, was our bartender and waitress and she couldn’t have made the night better. All around perfect and highly recommend!
