Being consistent is what differentiates good restaurants from great ones and this one meets said criteria. We ordered the house made cinnamon roll to split and it was delightful. Pillowy soft with a sweet icing. For the meal, I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with sausage (as I have the other two visits). If you're wondering what you should order, refer to my last sentence. There's limited seating so I strongly recommend joining their online waitlist before you show up as it is a hot spot. You won't find friendlier staff in the area. The Dandy Lion is truly a gem.

Incredible meal at Orchard Green!…read more While the upstairs dining area was booked for the evening, we were able to walk in and have an incredible meal in the lounge portion of the restaurant. A round of mocktails, crab cakes, and my delicious filet mignon was unbeatable. The steak was cooked perfectly and the garlic topping was the perfect touch. For desert, we shared a cheesecake and peanut butter mousse. The cheesecake was great, but the peanut butter mousse... quite literally one of the best desserts of my life! The balance of peanut butter and rich chocolate was perfect. Service was friendly and helpful, and the lounge was relaxed and comfortable. Would highly recommend Orchard Green for a nice dinner in the area!

Those fries would definitely be part of my "last meal".

Given that we were late in the day, there were also a few things on the menu that weren't available such as the yam fufu but that's okay. Had I did not realize that this place serves Ethiopian food in addition to other African and Caribbean food so I was absolutely overjoyed to order some familiar foods off of the menu! My husband had the tibs with potatoes and carrots and beets. He found the peppers to be fresh and bright and delicious, and the beets were tenderly cooked. He definitely was regretting not asking for it to be spicy because this was not spicy at all! A great point for dipping your toes into Ethiopian food without the intense spices and flavors that it is known for. I had the signature spinach and beef with cassava fufu and it was quite spicy and very flavorful! The spinach was obviously very fresh and high quality and retained a beautiful bright color of green. I am hoping to come back with more people earlier in the day to try out more of their food!

They are definitely not making the pita in-house anymore. I miss the old vibes, but still a solid meal. Definitely will go back on my next visit to Iowa.

Oh boy, it's an energetic place on the inside. Yet, it's rather dark. I think they know how to cater to both college kids and their parents. The inside exudes upscale. Feels turn of the century (as in 1900) . We had a semi-circle table on the main floor. I heard downstairs is a different world. We ordered drinks first. One drink took a long time and so they comped us. That was nice. One daughter ordered a steak. It was a good size. I ordered fish. Really good. The atmosphere just put all 3 of us in a great mood. The prices are higher than average in Iowa City. Still less than in Chicago. It's a great place to dress up and have a nice dinner.
