    Daughter and I had dinner before a Sunday night show at the Orpheum. We both had salmon (very good, perfectly cooked), shared a bottle of wine and a slice of cake for dessert. Staff were friendly and attentive without hovering. I may tell Hubs we need to check it out for date night and try some other menu items.

    Food has always been delicious! Today we dined on Caesar Salad (with Chicken) & Maude’s Garden Salad (with Chicken) . Both plates were large portions & satisfying but we were not overly stuffed. Our wait staff was friendly & timely.

    I have been dining there, before Orpheum shows, for over 15 years and have experienced many of the changes. I really enjoy the recent renovation. Our server today was awesome (which is not always the case). I am having a hard time with the increase in pricing (I know it is necessary.) I would like to be able to order a soup/salad/sandwich combo, or a charcuterie board when I am not very hunger.
    Olive & Ira’sResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for being such a loyal guest over the years! We truly appreciate your continued support and are glad to hear that you enjoy the recent renovation. It’s great to know that your service was exceptional, as we always strive to provide top-notch experiences for our guests. We understand your concern about pricing, and we appreciate your understanding of the necessity of adjustments. We also appreciate your suggestion about offering smaller combo options, and we will definitely take that into consideration for future menu planning. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we hope to continue providing you with enjoyable dining experiences for many years to come!

    Food was good.. service was good . Food and drinks took way to long to get. Not the servers fault .. just the way it’s set up I guess .

    Food was very very sub par. I’m actually shocked. The service was great, and our server was very attentive, but I’ll probably never go back.
    Olive & Ira’sResponded 1 day ago
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. While I’m glad to hear that the service was attentive, I’m truly sorry that the food didn’t meet your expectations. We take pride in providing high-quality meals, and it’s disappointing to hear that we fell short during your visit. Your feedback is invaluable, and I’ll be sure to share it with the kitchen team so we can make improvements. I understand your decision, but if you ever decide to give us another chance, we’d love to try to make it right.

    We arrived at our reservation time at 5:45 pm. Our waiter took our order at 6pm. Food was delivered to our table at 7 pm, so we literally had ten minutes to eat and get to the show at the Orpheum.
    Olive & Ira’sResponded on 11 December 2024
    Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the delay in service, and we understand how important it was for you to have enough time before your show at the Orpheum. We will address this with our team to improve timing and ensure a more efficient experience in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time.
