Reviews
Appetizer:
Fried cauliflower- looked burn but it is not. I would have prefer a little less fried in terms of nutrients value but it was surprisingly good.
Entrees:
Salmon pasta with garlic burrata – burrata was yummy but Salmon was way overcooked, even though I requested for medium rare. I brought it up to our server so she replied ‘I told them medium rare’ and that was it.
HamBurger – my husband said he loved it.
Korean Short Rib- our friend loved it.
Desserts:
Berry crumble- it was very good. The best out of the 3 desserts.
Bread pudding- it’s was too dense and hard. Bread pudding should be soft and moist.
Cookie skillet- cookie was premade and reheat so it was dry and hard.
We ordered a full family style spread: clam chowder, New York sirloin, halibut, chicken Alfredo, salmon, and Caesar salad, and truly every single dish had its own pazazz. The flavors are bright, clean, and incredibly well balanced. Nothing felt heavy or over done; the food has this beautiful lightness to it that still delivers richness and depth.
Service was down to earth and prompt, even with a full house. It felt like being welcomed into someone’s home rather than just a restaurant.
Whether you’re local or passing through Cle Elum, Orchard is absolutely worth the stop. I would eat here everyday if I could!!
The atmosphere and ambiance was amazing. Staff was friendly and efficient.
Can’t wait to go back.
From the moment we sat down, we were impressed. Their wine selection was absolutely amazing, offering a diverse range of choices to perfectly complement our meal. We started with the cauliflower starter, and it was simply out of this world. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, it was a delightful beginning to our culinary journey.
But the real stars of the show were the steamed clams with pork belly, and the wild cod. The pork belly, oh my goodness, the pork belly! It melted in our mouths, a symphony of flavors and textures that was truly unforgettable. And the wild cod? It was the winner of them all. Perfectly flaky, incredibly fresh, and cooked to absolute perfection. It was clear that the chef had a real passion for showcasing the quality of the ingredients.
As if that wasn’t enough, the risotto we ordered was also awesome. Creamy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it was the ideal accompaniment to the other dishes.
I honestly wish I could eat at this restaurant every day. The combination of the friendly staff, the amazing wine selection, and the truly exceptional food made for an unforgettable dining experience. This is a place you absolutely cannot miss. If you’re looking for a truly special meal, this restaurant is a must-try. Do not, I repeat, do not miss this place! You will not regret it.
