The Orchard in Tauranga

Nice big space. Good service. No problems

Good portion sizes and tasty meals. Well done!

Just realy great food. Very busy but food comes on time. Highly recommended.

Visited Saturday 24th. Booked a month prior as coming as a group.Arrived at 7pm. Drink order taken and delivered. Dinner order taken at 7.20. Dinner Delivered at 9pm. Wait of 1 hour 40 minutesAdditional drinks were requested. While waiting on dinner. Waitress never asked if anyone else at the table would like an another drink.8.40 asked the waitress to check on the wait time for the meals. She never returned.Food was acceptable however, was it worth waiting 2 hours from arrival for??No staff had bothered to apologies or update us on the wait. We’re we’re all just left sitting there.Asked for the dessert menus. Given 1 per 2 guests. I had the main menu on this menu the cheese cake advised to ask the waitress for the flavour, I asked as requested on the menu. Response “ Check the specials sheet. I think it’s boysenberry.” I apologised as I’d asked as instructed as I didn’t get the specials sheet as we were asked to share.Response “ Well do you want the desert or what?” When I responded no the waitress walked of in a huff and didn’t bother to ask the other guests at the table if they would like to order deserts.While paying we tried to give feedback about the waitress and the wait time for the meal of 2 hours. The response from Senior staff “What do you expect we’ve been busy and the second senior staff member said she felt our comments were harsh”.They obviously prefer a public review for prospective guest to read rather than hear about less than ideal service face to face.I’m certain the waitresses are trying there best when it’s busy however how can they be expected to learn their trade when this type of example has been set by senior members of staff.No Appreciation or Respect for guests

Amazing food. Brilliant service. Great atmosphere. Compliments to the chef

I dined in, staff were friendly, food was great.

Beautiful service, elegant food, definitely will be going back!

Service is slow but otherwise excellent and food is worth waiting for. Busy and noisy so not the place for a quiet romantic meal !

Excellent service and food, such a great atmosphere, menu is extensive and lots of g/f options

I have eaten here a few times and generally happy however I was absolutely appalled at the lasagne meal that was dished up to me tonight. A tiny salad accompanied by two small pieces of garlic bread and the smallest piece of lasagne that was literally about 1.5cm high, tasting more like a very salty mince and cheese pie rather than a lasagne. Certainly not what I would expect for $30 and will not be recommending to any of my friends or work colleagues to go there again. Very disappointing!!

Very friendly efficient service and especially dog friendly, bought a bowl of water as they came to the table with menus. Nice job guys.

Great service and excellent food!

Amazing chicken salada and beers

Great place to catchup with friends and family Great food and beer and staff 👍

Yet another phenomenal meal, consistently amazing food and service... I will be back and back yet again. Love the daily specials, and Friday nights lamb rump with winter greens, rosti and almond pesto puree, followed by Lemon ginger alaska bomb was ABSOLUTELY DEVINE.

Prawn pizza is delicious, the aioli that comes with chips is amazing.

Service was great just like the food.Recommend.

Great family outing, nice atmosphere food and service was great Highly recommend.

Absolutely exquisite, lovely customer service too, definitely recommend a visit

Good service. Nice food. Friendly staff, very accommodating. Variety on the menu. Tasty Short wait time.

This evening I decided to go for dinner at The Orchard. After we sat , our orders were taken . I ordered Lamb Rump , thinking it would be simply fantastic after reading the composition of the meal. My meal arrived in a heap.I couldnt see the Lamb. It was completely underneath a heap of spinach,broccoli, and shaved carrot dumped on the very top. The shaved carrot was crisp as a potato chip , the broccoli was great , as was the spinach. Sadly , the Lamb was not far off cold. It had at some time been beautifully cooked , and hot. On my plate which was just warm touch , the Lamb was a big disapointment , such a shame.When I was asked by the table waiter how my meal was , I asked her to please tell the chef my Lamb was nearly cold and I was disappointed.Upon paying I enquired as to the chefs response to my disappointment. The staff member just replied" I passed the message on "So , for $39.00 I had a very disappointing meal , to which Noone seemed to care about , this has prompted me to write my review.Oh darn , never mind. 2/10 for this one.Ross

Nice atmosphere. Attentive staff. Great menu options.

Service and food was absolutely brilliant 😊

This is one place that never seems to get it wrong! Great food, great choice and the service is awesome! Dont take my word for it, try it yourself!

Nice friendly staff and lovely food . Reasonable prices too.

I felt a deep need to tip the chef and waitress after my last visit for the professionalism and attention to detail. Every detail of the food was absolutely bang on! You could really taste the care, love and natural talent in every single bite. It was one of those meals that blows you away. All the staff were amazing but my waitress was so awesome and never left me hanging. Cant wait to come back, maybe tomorrow as I eat out most nights and have pretty high standard of food quality

Always a good meal. Nice atmosphere and local 👌

The food was great and service attentive.. only reason for not getting a 5th star - I had the chicken salad and the chicken was a bit lacking for the price.

Great food, portion size, nice atmosphere, great sevice from Charlotte! She always makes us feel welcome.

Nice venue. Lovely wait staff. Disappointing food for the price. Ordered the pork belly w seasonal vegetables. However, it just came with onion, kumara, pumpkin and no greens, on top of a pumpkin purée. Bottom of pork was a bit dry, and the top was very fatty. It looks like a nice venue for drinks and snacks, rather than dinner

Have had great meals here before but tonight I ordered a Scotch Fillet which was unfortunately the fattiest Scotch Fillet Ive had in my life. You expect more for a prime cut. I mentioned to the bar staff upon paying but she didnt appear bothered. Otherwise a good night.

Tumeke! Catered to my dietary requirements, service was great and staff very accommodating. Makes me want to go back.

Very nice food and nice they could have all 24 of us at short notice thank you and bringing all food out pretty much one after another, the only thing was the meat patty was a bit dry but other than that beautiful burger and chips.

Waited an hour for our meals to come. Understood that its a long weekend but a whole hour!? If wed known there was such a long wait we wouldnt have stopped. The seafood chowder had a thick skin on it so was clearly sitting in the plate a good while. We think they forgot about us. Thanks for the free coffees to make up for the wait but its probably better to be honest and let customers know there was a slip up. Were usually pretty forgiving if communicated with. Great bread by the way.

Awesome food, friendly staff, great beer. Worth the visit. Would have been a 5 if live music was available too.

Great service, great food, friendly staff. Would definitely go back.

Great food & staff and the BEST crumble Ive ever had (& the biggest). Would drive back from Auckland just for dessert.

Great place, great food,service, highly recommended! Thank you! *****

I gave this place a higher rating after an earlier visit but yesterday was disappointing. Slow service, food only warm when finally delivered and one of the meals had to be re done due to undercooked chicken. So I guess theres valid reasons for things not being up to par but this time the experience was average at best.

Nice place, awesome foods, kind staff 👍🏻Highly recommended🙌🏻

Second time Ive been to this restaurant..first time the meals were great, this visit we were shown our seats, drinks ordered with a few minutes.. ordered mains...my steak was delicious and very generous.. then the heavens opened up and we witness a spectacular show.. mind you a few diners had to be reseated inside..the sound of the heavy rain was quite magic..Ill be back...

30 residents and friends had a great meal and social time before hitting the shops. We all decided on what to have and pre-ordered. Food was out within 15 mins of arriving. Fantastic service, friendly staff and some great shops nearby to wander through. We will definitely be back.

The Orchard has been our "go to " restaurant for a long time now. Food is always excellent and you would have to look long and hard to find a better staff. Great dessert selection as well. Theres only 5 stars available. If I could I would give them a few more.

Absolutely stunning meal, everything, and I mean every part of the meal was flawless. Its been a long while since my father and I have leaned back in our chairs with a mouth full of heaven and shared that look between us. To the friendly and hard working staff, thank you, so very much, thank you.

My local and I love it. Good atmosphere and you can tell it is owner operated.Honest meals that are a cut above pub grub without being too fancy, everyone can find something on the menu.Lagunitas on tap too, so thats a bonus!

Enjoyed dining here. Food was great, the Chicken Salad I had was delicious and a decent size. Staff were very efficient and really pleasant. Would totally dine here again 😁

Fantastic spot with lots of gluten free options. Sat outside, such a relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff. Definitely come again

What a great place! Had a table outside in the sun. Excellent staff. Excellent food. The kitchen coped with our diet needs without trouble too. Didn’t try a coffee. Also try the moctails!

Awesome sharing platters. Very tasty!Great value! Nice atmosphere and excellent service. This restuarant is now my favorite list.

Stopped at The Orchard Bar and had a great value platter and a ice cold beer outside in the breeze. Perfect venue with indoor outdoor seating, parking at doorstep and mobility access for both parking and toilets. There was a wide range of ages young and old all happily enjoying the venue together.
