Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Orchard Townhouse offers a delightful dining experience with "amazing" food and exceptional service. Guests rave about the "spicy crab spaghetti" and "steak au poivre," complemented by a charming outdoor patio. While some note slower service, the overall atmosphere and menu variety make it a "neighborhood gem" worth revisiting.

    The food selection was small and the portions were as well. Unfortunately, the food was not worth the price they charged and there was no wow factor.

    The risotto was wonderfully warm fuel for a typical winter day on the patio. Thanks to the team for a great retreat!

    The saturday brunch was fantastic. Challah French Toast was some of the best I've ever had. The smoked salmon dish was fantastic as well. My friend had the cheeseburger and loved it. Great service as well!

    Cute spot in Chelsea - great decor and service - plates are very small and good but nothing out of this world.

    My manager needed a last min reservation and everything near the office was booked, and we decided to try this restaurant and he was not disappointed. He throughly enjoyed the ambiance and his meal.

    Five of us dined here for the prix fix Thanksgiving. The place has a comfortable atmosphere, fitting for the restaurant name. We had a reservation and were promptly seated and met our server, who was friendly and prompt throughout. She gave us a few minutes to settle in for wine choices and brought the included cocktail. Starters included a savory celeriac soup and a salad big and flavorful enough for a meal. Main was a traditional turkey breast dinner with standout silky mashed potatoes and gravy served in whimsical gravy boats. Desserts included an oversized apple crumble and classic pumpkin pie. Everyone agreed we would do it again if we were in NYC for Thanksgiving. We also would go back for the regular menu.

    It really seems like something happened to the charming, vibey Orchard Townhouse. Went for dinner the other night and the windows were dirty, the lights were too bright, the music was bad, and there was a stale, grease-smoke smell in the air. The staff (bartender, hostess) seemed like they just were not jazzed to be there at all. It made us sad. But we won't be going back.
