I made reservations for a group of 5 and we had a good time! Our server was friendly and happily explained the menu to us, including the general sizes of the dishes. He also dropped off some complimentary strawberry muffins which were moist and tasty. Three of us picked the roast of the day, which was a steak with chimichurri sauce - absolutely fantastic, although by its nature, I'm not sure it'll be available as it was the next time I go. The potatoes were perfectly crisp and it was a lot of food for one person! The other dishes - including the k-town eggs and tater tot poutine - were also very tasty. While the KFC was flavorful, I felt that it tasted more like Taiwanese popcorn chicken rather than Korean fried chicken, and the sesame sweet heat sauce was too sweet. OCK has always been a solid brunch spot and I'd definitely come again!
I've been to OCK a number of times over the years and always enjoyed the inventive dishes, the cocktails and well-stocked bar, knowledgeable bartenders, and helpful servers. Just never got around to working a review before. Went early on a Saturday evening recently and was surprised to not have to wait. We split a Bibb lettuce salad that was simple, refreshing and perfect. A tiny pea fritter was the very definition of a small bite, and while it wasn't what I expected, it was crisp and tender. Grilled artichoke was one of the best I have ever had. (Just wish they had been explicit on the menu that it was a half a grilled artichoke). Cocktails were up to their usual high standard -- rye Manhattan for the BF and clarified milk punch for me. I don't get out much these days and I rarely drink alcohol, but is $20 a lot for a cocktail? Or is that normal now? They were great though. BF got the ribeye with morels, which was perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender. I had the burger, which was more exciting than it sounds, dressed with a wild combo of veggies, cheese and bacon while still managing to be harmonious and fresh tasting. Side of fries were crisp and tasty, though not as perfectly hot as I would ideally wish. Because the burger was late coming out, or server (Bernardo I think?) comped us an amazing little dish of vanilla soft serve ice cream with olive oil and sea salt, along with the butterscotch pudding that we ordered. The pudding didn't have the strong butterscotch flavor that I hoped for, but the vanilla ice cream stole the dessert show. OCK isn't a place I can afford often, but I still really like it. I appreciate the creativity of the dishes, the quality ingredients, and the bar. And the old-school shopping center vibe of the Pruneyard is low key festive and garden-like. The interior of the restaurant is kind of standard-industrial modern, but nicely so. Oh, and their glassware is super nice.
Always a great meal at Orchard City Kitchen. We stopped by today for lunch. I made a reservation at Open Table, though we also showed up when they opened so it probably would not have been too much of a wait. Their lunch menu is a little more straightforward than the dinner menu. We did order the fry bread appetizer which had a ton of cheese on it, making it very filling. I really enjoyed my sandwich, though it was gigantic! I always have an enjoyable meal here, fun place to sit. We love their outdoor patio. Also I was reminded they have a nice happy hour.
Amazing atmosphere, great service. Its both outdoor and indoor seating, a bar top as well. I was torn on the the food, its basically a hit or miss, but over all...most are spot on. I have been coming here on a regular basis for a reason! Foods alwaya been great, especially the bacon, biscuits and butter. The crispy pork was odd, the porl belly was crispy and tender, as a matter of facts, it was perfect! The thing that threw me off was the sushi ginger (tasted bottled) and the spicy tobatchan (bottled spicy paste on the bottom). Aside from this minor hiccup, the food they served has been spot on!
Came here a second time last night and enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than my first time. The menu was completely different and every dish we ordered was 10/10. You really can't go wrong with any choice here. Each dish had a distinct and different flavor profile and I'd love to go back and try everything. Service was great and food came out super quickly. I'll be back again soon
Stopped in a few weeks back and was surprised about the changes to the menu. The new change to a small plate French-inspired menu (maybe rotating style?). Overall, we were looking forward to the KFC and other OCK staples but found some new items to try. Server was very kind and allowed us to move completely under the overhang to avoid the early evening sun. He was quick and attentive although must've gotten busy near the end as we had to waive someone down to get the check. Overall, the meal had both high and low notes. Everyone enjoyed the Langos (fry bread) as a started. Kids found that most appealing. We ordered the Beef bourguignon, the honey wings and carrot rice. We did not see the KFC on the menu but on review it looks like it's available on the website. Both the honey wings and carrot rice had small flowers which were not our favorite. Not hard to pick off though but enjoyed it without. We also got the carrot rice with the chorizo on the side (wasn't sure how spicy for the kids). Best dish was the beef bourguignon which filled up our little ones. The other dishes were ok but will likely look to try the other menu options next time. Best part of the menu is their whiskey list!! They have some really good bourbons for very reasonable prices. I grabbed a GTS but probably would have gone into a couple more if time allowed. All in all, it's still a nice night out in a very busy location!
Went here 4 times and each time the service wasn't consistent. The food could be a hit or miss. The drinks was really good but a few of them were really strong. Each time I would be a new group here , but my brother didn't really like the food he ordered. Because it's not consistent I don't think I'll be coming back here.
Came to Orchard City Kitchen for happy hour after hearing great things about the restaurant, including its Michelin Bib Gourmand designation. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly impressed with what I ordered this time around, but I'd need to come back and try some of their other dishes before forming a final opinion. The Vienna hot dog was $12, but it didn't feel worth the price. The chili and cheese they used made it taste more like something someone could make at home rather than something I'd expect from a restaurant at this price point. The KFC (Korean fried chicken) was decent, but the flavor and texture reminded me almost exactly of Taiwanese popcorn chicken without the basil and with green onions instead. Overall, maybe I may have just ordered the wrong things, so I'll give it another try and explore more of their menu next time.
Came for a late brunch on Monday (but brunch is only on the weekends, so lunch it is). They still had a few fun brunch items on the menu though. Will have to come back on the weekend for their full brunch menu! There was no wait for a table and our server was really great! Good banter and recommendations. Quick service. The food was delicious and came out pretty fast. Loved the gravy on my chicken fried steak and the roasted peaches. The portions were very generous! The sandwich was like 2+ servings worth! The corn fritter was also delicious. And you can't go wrong with their BBB. Biscuits Bacon and Butted!
Came here for my 4 year anniversary because OCK was our first date location and we hadn't been back since. We were excited to see the Harry Potter theme! That was super cool. We came on a Wednesday so it wasn't crazy packed, but enough to create a good vibe. The food and service was just as good as I had remembered. Just glad we were able to spend this special moment back where it all began.
The good part: Service is always impeccable. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor, when the weather is great the patio is the best! Be sure to make a reservation, it does get crowded at time. Now for the ok part: They made some significant changes to the menu , they've moved from an 'Asian theme' to a 'French theme'. Gone are the KFC, garlic noodles and they made some significant changes to the BBB (not in a good way, imho). Now the negative part: They now add an additional 'inflation surcharge' with no clarity on what that is for, or who gets it. Seems it's a way for them to increase prices, without changing the menu prices. We used to go monthly, with these changes, it will be a very long time before we go back.
Orchard City Kitchen was such a pleasure to try out. The wait was a short 10min which was pretty good for a Friday night. We sat inside, it was cute, maybe just a little loud. The shareable small plate style was incredibly fun. We started out with the baguette and today's butter board (which had apples/pears) and were so excited to be handed a full baguette--nice crunch and soft interior. We also had the grilled artichoke, which had a lovely char and paired nicely with the sauce. We ended off with the lamb chops, which were incredibly soft and had a lovely char as well. The garlic and mint were an interesting pairing. We also tried their paradox beer and butter beer (surprisingly harry potter themed today) and enjoyed those. Bernardo helped us out that night and had such a chill friendly demeanor we loved--like talking to a friend.
I've been a loyal customer of Orchard City Kitchen for years, and it's always been one of my go to spots. I've celebrated birthdays here, brought friends from out of town, and consistently recommended it because the food and vibe were always on point. That said, I've definitely noticed a lot of changes recently, both with the staff and the menu. I always came specifically for the BBB and the KFC, and I was really disappointed to see that both have been taken off the menu. Those dishes were staples for me and honestly a big reason I kept coming back. Change is part of the restaurant world, I get that but it's hard not to miss the old favorites and some of the familiar faces. I do want to give a big thank you to Kosar and Ronnie for the great service during my recent visit. They were attentive, friendly, and made the experience much better despite my menu disappointment. I'm hoping some of the classics make a comeback!
Long overdue review because we've been to Orchard City Kitchen a few times, and our latest visit was the perfect excuse to finally write one. We came for a casual weekday lunch to celebrate our 22nd anniversary after spending the whole morning at a day spa. We sat outside and enjoyed a little bit of everything. The blackened hamachi tataki was refreshing and perfect for a summer lunch. Their take on steak and eggs, deviled eggs topped with Wagyu, is so simple but packs a punch. The Korean fried chicken was crunchy with a tangy sauce and great for sharing. And of course, we had to get the BBB, which is always a must for us! After all that, we shared the cheesesteak sandwich and I honestly thought I was going to tap out, but it wasn't heavy at all. It was so good that we finished the whole thing. Somehow, we even had room for Beth's hand pie, a delicious peach compote that tasted like a churro and peach pie had a baby. The cocktails were also a highlight. I had the Coco Julius, which is dangerously good because it's so smooth, fruity, and refreshing with orange and pineapple. Hubby had the La Ola with strawberries and hibiscus. Another great meal at OCK! read more

Orchard City Kitchen was a random decision on the weekend, but my husband and I were in the area hungry. Located at The Pruneyard, parking is in abundance around the complex and free. We came here without reservations and got seated promptly. The outdoor space Our server was attentive and helped explain the menu to a couple of newbies. Being told the menu was like a chef's tasting menu and the food was meant to be shared was interesting because the portion sizes didn't really scream "family style". We opted for their loco moco-ish (ish because the base was rice porridge), salmon benedict, and the BBB. I'll give it to them - there's flavor in all three dishes. Prices seem a bit high for the portion sizes you're getting, but I'll attribute it to the area they're in. read more

Solid 3.5 stars! Superb service - great staff and restrooms were clean - the dining area was spacious and cozy! However the food fell a bit short for me. I failed to take photos of everything we ordered. We were a big table of 11 people and things were picked at before my phone could eat first. I understood that this was a tapas style restaurant and because of that we made multiple orders and shared family style. The best menu item is the triple B - Bacon Biscuits and Butter! $14 : You get 2 biscuits 3 strips of bacon and a glob of butter! But the biscuits were fluffy and delicate and so delicious with the butter and bacon. $21 : Scallop Carpacio you get 6 thin slices and the tart with sharp spice was a pleasant surprise. Scallops were buttery soft. $57 : Steak Frites - the steak was tender and tasty but the frites missed the mark and the kids were disappointed that they didn't get the fries they thought would be. Also the price doesn't live up to the dish that was presented. So definitely the first disappointment. $23 : loco moco - this excited me - until it didn't. One small patty in a small bowl of mushroom gravy - and it was a bit too underdone for my liking and a bit salty. $22 : Garlic noodles. Small bowl of garlic noodles and probably one of the better dishes they offer - great bite on the noodles and flavor. $16 : KFC - the best popcorn chicken I've ever had! Yes popcorn chicken because that is the size of these chicken nuggets. They are small but they're very very tasty and so the cost can be more justified in comparison to the other dishes! $20 : Chantrelle mushrooms - or rather - Chantrelle MUSH - these looked so tasty on the menu with parsnip puree and chips - until those shrooms turned out to be mushy and the puree had zero seasoning... I was severely disappointed and embarrassed that i ordered these and our group didn't really wanna eat them either. $25: Truffled Game Hen - the cook on the chicken was good, stayed moist and juicy and tasted fine but didn't give "truffle" $22: the burrito. Don't get it. Save your money. We asked for the chili jam on the side because the kids won't handle it but - man - that was the biggest dryest breakfast burrito ever The ube cake was deelish! I don't know how much it is because I ordered on the low to surprise my aunt for her birthday and I paid for the bill behind her back... $432 for: 1 scallop capraccio 1 game hen 1 chantrelle mushrooms 4 biscuits bacon and butter 1 steak frites 1 breakfast burrito 1 American breakfast 1 loco moco 2 garlic noodles 1 KFC 1 ube slice cake We didn't order any beverages. read more
The food here is always thoughtful, innovative, and tasty this is a place where food provides an experience. The furniture is industrial-modern with splashes of pop-culture in the drink menu and restroom. My husband and I started exploring OCK's brunch menu about a year ago, we've been back every few months since. We started our meal with the cinnamon roll pancakes - yum! They were fluffy, the cheesecake frosting was the-bomb.com We then shared the smoked salmon benedict. Also very delicious. They did a great job with the hollandaise sauce. The came the loco moco - it is a hearty dish that that easily serves 2 people. OCK's twist was to add kimchi. We finished our meal with the Langos Hungarian Fry Bread was interesting! I appreciated the all the different ingredients - chimchurri, cultured cream, and white cheddar. My husband thought it was too greasy, and I wasn't a fan of the shredded cheddar (reminded me of a Lunchable's shredded mozzarella cheese). What helped this dish come to life was the acidity from the chimchurri. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience, and we look forward to our next visit! read more
I was super excited to check this place out, and I enjoyed my visit here. The prices are up there, and they have a great variety of really unique dishes. I visited on a weekend for brunch, and it was absolutely packed. Be prepared for a noisy, crowded atmosphere. It was definitely a bit distracting because it was so busy. The service was understandably slow because the employees were helping so many customers. The interior is decorated rustically. Some of the dishes we tried were better than others. Since the prices were quite steep, I almost expected to be more impressed by the food than I actually was. There were certain dishes that were standouts. I really enjoyed the Biscuits, Bacon & Butter. The honey butter was so creamy and paired perfectly with the fluffy, warm biscuits. The bacon was nice and crisp, and the combination of all three made for the perfect bite. What I really like about this restaurant is the uniqueness of their dishes. They had so many creative selections that sounded phenomenal. read more

Updated review with new menu: Missing some former show stopping favorites from the menu like charred chard kimchi. New menu is more plant forward which is nice. All dishes were sub standard save for the squash flower fritters. Milk punch and other cocktails are still worth the visit. Additionally the patio space at night is unmatched in terms of a cozy and perfectly intimate dinner experience. Our server Katherine N was outright hostile and messed up our order on top of having a really rude and unprofessional attitude. Bummer. This used to be the best dining in Pruneyard but its sister restaurant Be.steak.a, as well as Luna and Marafuku Ramen make OCK's bib gourmand look more than undeserved. The rest of the wait staff is lovely, and we look forward to some improvements in the menu intentionality and execution as well as said outlier staff member, as this restaurant has been a favorite in our family for over five years. read more
It's always a fun experience trying the cocktails here and creative food! I happened to try to Happy Hour menu for the first time and it's a nice surprise. The salmon chips and dip is perfect with cocktails. The old fashioned is smooth! Tried the Manhattan from the Harry Potter cocktail menu which I think is a Must try! It has a hint of chocolate flavor which balances the tartness sometimes I tasted in Manhattan. The highlight is the banana soft serve. It's from Straus and it's creamy as Straus soft serve never disappoints. The banana toppings gave it another level of flavor and crunchiness. Soooo good!! read more
3.5% surcharge. 4/5: The Chefwich: $25. brisket, salami, ham, peppers, cheddar, slaw. Good brisket/salami sando. And it's huge; you can easily take half as leftovers. It's actually better the next day. Has some heat from the peppers. 4/5: La Ola cocktail $20. reposado, strawberry, cappelletti, ginger, hibiscus, piloncillo. Like a strawberry margarita with some layered complexity from the Cappelletti. read more
Visited for brunch on a Sunday and had such a great experience! This spot is located in the Pruneyard Plaza, and I definitely recommend making a reservation online because it was very busy. They offer both their regular menu and a brunch menu, which was a nice. We ordered a jug of their strawberry and guava mimosa--so good and not overly sweet! I went with the breakfast burrito and was blown away. For the price, the portion is huge. The hash browns were perfectly crispy, and the chili jam added just the right sweet touch to balance all the savory flavors. Honestly one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Service was also fantastic. The team was friendly, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. I'm already looking forward to coming back for dinner! read more
My absolute favorite spot to go to dinner in Campbell whether I'm going on a date or showing someone from out of town. The menu is so diverse and unlike any other menu in the Bay Area the quality of food in terms of price is so reasonable and the staff is nothing but kind the atmosphere is lively whether you sit inside or out. I love coming here. read more
Direction and Quality. My spouse are I have been loyally supporting OCK for 7 years. We've met a lot of great employees (Camilla, Nathan, Obe, MiMi, and many more). We even met Stout and his spouse in Napa. Flavor and creativity was strong and somehow, the magic disappeared after Anothony Bourdain cocktail menu. Mind you, we religiously supported weekly and sometimes twice in the week. The second to last experience (today) was ordering an old fashion, simple to make but takes practice to perfect a great tasting one. Mine came with 6 cubes of unbroken ice that was simply thrown together. This prevented us from returning for months. Today, we had the most disrespectful loco moco ever. A bland tasting porridge looking dish. Opposite from what it tasted before, earthy and smokey tones, seasoned patty, fluffy rice, and kimchi. Today, the rice was cooked with the bland gravy, rice mushy, and mushroom appeared to be added into the gravy as an after thought. Disrespectful to the Aina where loco moco was created. The aged salmon was another let down. Very light tasting citrus and salmon that appeared to be unseasoned and just seared and plated. Today, we bid farewell to OCK as our loyalty cannot be continued. Cocktails and food have slipped beyond immeasurable bounds. read more

Made a reservation, but when I arrived I was told that the outside tables were booked. As I sat facing the patio, I noticed that tables were empty, remained empty and when I left there were tables that were empty. Perhaps someone was out sick? The interior is nicely decorated, loud and very cool. The food was delicious. I had a spicy Bloody Mary which was refreshing, the burger which came medium raw, I was not permitted to have a medium burger. Turns out their medium rare is my idea of medium so it was all good. Instead of fries, I ordered the artichoke which came roasted with a side of sauce (aioli and hot chili oil?) for dipping. For dessert we shared a watermelon swirl. It was beautiful and delicious. I was not impressed with the server or timing of the food. I got my food first, and waited a bit for the rest of the table to get their food. Without asking if we wanted dessert, our server gave us our bill. I'm not sure why she felt like she needed to rush us when there were open tables. The previous time I came, the food was amazing and so was the service and timing. I'm going to put this afternoon down to a glitch. read more

Nice decoration. The food tastes good. CHEF'S FRITATTA is pretty close to Japanese food. I like it! LOCO MOCO-ISH, hm...the taste is fine. But if it is in a bowl, will be easier for the people to eat. Unfortunately, both are way too small. BRULEE FRENCH TOAST is the best! The nutella whipped cream and the carmelized bananas. Yummy! read more
Food 4/5: Definitely didn't think it was a Michelin Star but it was good food in general. We tried the fried chicken and it was pretty dry. Shrimp dumplings were okay, but steak tare tare and Scallop carpaccio were pretty good. I would rec if you just want fine dining/good food. read more
Loved our experience here! Came for brunch with a couple of friends and the vibe was perfect -- relaxed but still upscale. The food was excellent across the board. We tried the Eggs on Eggs on Eggs, baguette with whipped butter, breakfast burritos, avocado toast, tots, and the Korean fried chicken -- everything was genuinely good. The OG Milk cocktail was unlike anything I've had before -- a must-try. Super refreshing. They also have a great lineup of brunch cocktails; the sangria mimosa was a standout. We ended up hanging out for almost three hours, and no one rushed or bothered us. Cons: Service was very slow, and it's definitely on the pricier side. read more
I had to order the marrow because I've never seen that offered (eat it every time we have ribs). It was very good, and interesting. Very little, but that's ok. I ordered a spiked horchata which was very good! We waited over an hour, with reminders, for the andouille sausage to come out. The manager came over and apologized and comped it including the hush puppies. I grill sausages $5-6 a package of 5-6. To have one sausage be brought out heavily laden with plating garnish, for $20, that ain't gonna cut it. It's still popular here, I guess because of the drinks, I do not foresee this place being around as long as Rock bottom, which is now gone.. read more
I happen to go to OCK twice in one week. Once on a Wednesday and then again on a Saturday. Both time service was excellent and the food was good. My favorites are the temple mushrooms and the BBB. Both times we ordered the KFC but each time it was chewy and I don't think we'll try that again. The wedge salad is always a winner. We did try one new item which I cannot recommend. It was the lemon pudding cake. It arrived slightly warm, which we thought was a good thing. We thought it was a sign of it being freshly made. However, the thing was extremely runny. In fact, it was watery and it had separated. We mentioned it to the waiter, and he suggested perhaps it was because of the warm weather, but it wasn't that warm and warm weather doesn't cause putting to separate. So we will definitely not be having that again. I'll likely have to go there again within the week for a business lunch so we'll give it one more try, but won't be ordering the KFC or the pudding. I will say that cocktails are great but we wish that the wine pours were a bit more generous. I happen to go to OCK twice in one week. Once on a Wednesday and then again on a Saturday.

Solid brunch spot with a cute outdoor / patio area. Great to come with friends! Food is just okay though. A lot of space during brunch on a Sunday (seems like they accept a lot of walk-ins, since reservations looked almost entirely full) FOOD: Egg on egg on egg (5/10) - Really okay dish. Kind of just tastes like eggs. Would skip! K.F.C (6/10) - Starts off solid but pieces below are drenched in sauce, and it got really really salty. Garlic Noodles (3/10) - Overlay salty / lowkey inedible. They recommended this, so not sure if just our portion was made unwell. Salmon Benedict (6/10) - Again, salty but overall slightly better. Dashing Ranch Bartlett Pear (8/10) - Favorite dish here. Would try this one for sure! read more

What a lovely experience ! The girls came out to celebrate a birthday brunch and we had the best time ever. It was a busy Sunday and upon arriving our host greeted us warmly and took us to our table. Comfy seating area in a large dining area. Even though it was loud, the noise was moderate enough for us to still hear each other at the table and the seating was spaced out enough to keep us comfortable in our own area. The service here is top notch. They waited on us and checked on us throughout our visit and took care of us very well. We ordered several plates to share and everything was scrumptious. Presentation was gorgeous and evrything tasted as good as it looked. After hearing about this place for years, I'm super happy to report back that everything is indeed delicious here. The BBB, bacon, biscuits and butter, was a savory delight. Our taste buds couldn't get enough of the KFC, perfect little chicken bites. We also loved the tot poutine, the trout roe bites and the desserts! Everything was a culinary treat! We also tried a few cocktails and those were also a huge hit. My favorite was the espresso martini. This was a place for the books and I can't wait to go back to try more of their menu offerings. read more

Any special treat for anniversary?
Not sure about anniversary, but for birthdays I usually let them know and they'll comp a dessert with some cute decoration on it and candles!
Does OCK allow dogs for outdoor seating?
Yes! They'll even offer a doggy water bowl!
Are reservations recommended on a weeknight? Say 5 pm on a Wednesday?
I think at 5:00 on a weeknight you'd be fine without a reservation. However, later in the evening or on weekends I'd suggest a reservation.
Is there a minimum per guest fee for larger parties (15-20)?
We went as a group of ~12 and weren't told that there is one. We did end up ordering at least 1 drink per person and some food to share. They will probably auto-charge gratuity.
What's their menu for happy hour?
It changes frequently, but is a small/limited menu.
Can I order food from lunch menu on weekends or only brunch menu available?
The menu literally always changes. I would call ahead to get a leg up on the day's menu
Does it have outdoor/patio seating? Is it kid friendly and provide high chairs?
yes
Do you know if it's noisy to eat indoors? Some of us are hearing impaired....
We went at a packed lunch hour and it wasn't too bad. My gf--who has aphasia and can't take being in noisy situations--didn't have issues.
How long is the general wait on weekdays, and if so is there a way to reserve times between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm?
On weekdays besides Fridays, you can usually just walk in and get a table these past few months. I believe on weekdays they're closed from 2:30-4 since it's the gap between lunch and happy hour/dinner
What is the average wait time for walk ins?
Depends on the day or mealtime, but if it's a weekend evening - safe to say 45 - 120 minutes. BUT…
Do they have a corkage fee?
Yes $20 first and second corkage and $40 third (3 bottle max)
Do they accept Walk-ins? If yes, then how long would be the wait for a party of 3 on a weekday?
Yes you can walk in, but we had to wait about almost 40 min
Does OCK offer heaters for people dining outdoors?
We do have heaters, but nor for individual tables. Still - don't expect indoor temperatures outdoors.
Does anyone know their HH days and hours?
Yes. They have Happy Hour everyday from 4:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.
Does any one know if they are offering outdoor dining at this time?
Yes, from 4-8pm.
How many dishes for 2 people? Are the portions tapa sized?
Depends on your appetite. I would say 3 dishes between two people is adequate. For larger appetites, probably 4 dishes.
Anyone know of menu options that are or could be made vegan?
