Decided to go to Orchid seeing all the good reviews. Went early so got a place quite easily despite being a Sunday. The place is nicely done and has a great ambience. Got on to a good start and was really looking forward to the food.
Decided to fo for Italian and ordered a tomato soup flavoured with basil, bruschetta and a custom made pasta in red sauce with toppings.
The soup was served with two slices of garlic bread. It was not bad but I expected something more reading the description. It was like your usual tomato soup. The bruschetta was more like garlic bread with cheese and a tomato base.Overall the food was not bad but not something I was expecting from an Italian restaurant. The saving grace was the pasta. The sauce was really good. That was totally worth it.
Service: Very good, the waiters know what they are doing and do it well. He also mentioned that canelloni or ravioli was not their forte and recommended another dish. Was extremely impressed by the level of professionalism. Also came to check if the food was ok.
Overall not a bad experience but nothing extraordinary that I would want to repeat.
