    a sunset over a lake
    Nicole S.

    Pretty great campground with plenty of clean space, good bar food, cold drinks, and a beautiful view. Great live music for memorial day weekend. The bathroom situation is less than ideal, especially on busy weekends. Plenty of patio seating. It's good for all ages.

    One of my favorite parts of road tripping is finds gems such as this one. One of the best lake bars in the country in my humble opinion. Lake Macbride is a blast, and it's awesome to have a bar on it to enjoy some good music and tasty libations. The bar food is simple but very good and perfectly fried. They have different themed party's every weekend, from May to September. I will be back, very impressed!

    A little spendy, there was 5 of us, 4 had two drinks and one had a pop, we got two 14" pizza's a Taco and Meat our bill was $76.00. But it's pretty much one of the only place to get food when your boating. The service was was and friendly! If your out on the lake and hungry this is the place to go!

    Service was kind, but the cook couldn't keep up with business. We left after 30 minutes with no food in sight & lots of folks ahead of us.

    Terrible service. Rude staff, not welcoming at all. $8.99 for five whole jalapeño poppers. Would not recommend.

    If you're on the Lake cool. If not, don't waste you're time. Below or food. Lousy service.

    Before I came to Iowa City for a conference? i researched places to eat. This was one I wanted to…read morego to. They're well reviewed on Yelp, which I value. My friend from work and I came here tonight. Wow. They have an informal lounge downstairs and a more formal dining room upstairs. The lounge has the same menu plus a lounge menu. So we chose more choice. The lounge was kinda dark and it's not fancy. But it's clean and open. It's fine. The server was terrific. Ash accommodated our need for separate checks (for us each to bill for our meal). She was attentive and pleasant. I asked her what she liked better between a couple of things and she gave me an honest answer. I followed her recommendation, The beet salad was lovely. the dressing had some goat cheese in it and was delicious. The fresh beets on the side really worked with the dressing. My friend got the cheese platter to start and there was lots of cheese. He loved it. He got the lounge version of the salmon, which he thought was great. I got the Artic Char, which was delicate and phenomenal. It was topped with pieces of lobster and caviar like eggs. The fish was delicate and the sauce rich, but not overpowering. It was delightful. We both loved our meals and highly recommend Orchard Green.

    What an incredible find ! This is probably the most delicious food I have had in the last 20+…read moreyears. I picked this place just from a random search on Yelp. First, this is fancier than your usual, casual restaurant. It is also more expensive than your usual, casual restaurant (main courses avg. $45/dish). That being said, you can dine on the first floor (the lounge) or the second floor (main dining room). Service was good, the server was very pleasant. The ambiance was chill, soft music playing in the background, def not a casual restaurant... The menu was not 20 pages long, just 2 pages, with a great variety of dishes. First, had the crab cakes, 2 small square ones on the plate, I wish there had been more, because they were just amazing... Then came the lobster bisque, very tasty, really hit the spot... 2 main dishes were tried: Pistachio crusted white fish and Jerk chicken. The fish was cooked to perfection, and the flavors on every bite were absolutely delicious, and the potato pancake was super tasty and a perfect complement to the fish. The chicken (1/2 chicken) was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly in my opinion, the little potatoes and broccoli were very tasty also. For dessert, crème brûlée... Pretty amazing as well. I feel this is a place you bring someone you want to impress or just treat to an amazing gastronomical experience.

    This is one of our go to spots. We've tried a good chunk of the menu, and have yet to find an…read moreappetizer or main we haven't liked. The variety of appetizers is solid and we almost always get at least two because it's so hard to decide. The pork belly burnt ends and cheese bread are regular favorites for us. The barbecue strangely enough is solid for a place that doesn't do it regularly. I usually get some type of chicken sandwich and the chicken is always moist and above average. The only "cons" I have. Sometimes the service can be a touch slow. This isn't super common, but has happened once or twice for us. Second: the kids chicken tenders just do not look appealing and my son isn't impressed by them. They're dry and honestly they'd be better off getting premade frozen ones cause these ones aren't great. The fries however make up for this ten fold as my son is obsessed with their fries. Otherwise, this place is solid. We recommend it to friends and family regularly and it's a great spot if you're wanting to try something unique.

    After missing out for many years, we went back after hearing good reviews from others. We had a…read morechicken sandwich and the American Classic burger. Both were excellent and the service was great and fast. Large sides of pub fries and cottage cheese were very good. We had happy hour drinks - a bit on the small side, but a good bargain. Some hints, specify your vodka if getting a mule. Parking lot is a bit tricky. They had a patio too but it was rainy so no go for us. We will be back. Burger was among the best I've had in this area.
