Orchid Restaurant at the Studley Hotel

We were glad we were able to book an igloo on a Saturday for a celebration. However, it took awhile for the food to be served and then we were told they needed our table (igloo). We did notice that other customers were there before us and they stayed there after we left, so this was extremely disappointing as we did not get to order dessert or coffees or sing happy birthday to my daughter. My advice would be that when you call to book, to tell them the hours you would like there so you don't have to walk out upset and look for another restaurant to finish your celebration and have desserts.

Decided to get a take out orchid for a birthday, normally we visit a few times a year for special occasions. The food it's self was presented well and delicious as always, kept warm and tasted incredible.nReason I haven't given 5 star, potentially portion size for take out was less, difficult to tell but I felt short changed. Also considering you're not getting the atmosphere that is the orchid I think the take out prices are high. Understand they are probably not making the money on the alcohol but still. Either way I'll be back because the foods outragouesly good!

Lovely meal, i had the lamb massaman . Lovely flavour and beautiful tender lamb .

not quite what we had in mind, decor and little plain and dark, not the romance we like. were hoping the food would make up for it, but alas not so. it was good, not fantastic. the tempura prawn starter was delicious, but dipping sauce underwhelming, both mains were roaring hot...so good if you like spicy food...the dessert the best bit, a pastry custard tart. We liked it, but won't be rushing back

Visited The Orchid restaurant as a surprise for my husbands 50th birthday. The staff helping organise prior to arrival, and on the evening could not have been more helpful. We where lucky to dine in the private room, where we where served the most amazing food with the best service. A great experience.
