My son loves this place so he took me for the experience. I found it really quaint but seating too close together. Service started off good but went downhill after that. Appetizer took an hour to come and I was disappointed to see a few sliced sausages on a plate drowned in oil and a dab of goat cheese. Wasn't worth the wait. Entrees took another 1/2 hour. Total time from start to finish was over 2 hours. Portions of entrees were huge. Hardly touched mine because I had filled up with drinks & bread waiting so long for food.Not acceptable.
The rabbit was surprisingly good, nice flavour, not too overcooked, the rabbit's oil combined well with the sauce underneath. The roasted potatoes were fantastic, crispy on the outside, soft inside, perfect flavour and consistency. The grilled calamari was also good - some bits were a tad rubbery but the barbecue flavour was evident and the salad dressing was nice and spicy. Wild Orchid could do a bit more to up its image (butter packages instead of dipping oil or fresh butter, 1970s diner-style salt and pepper shakers) but it provides a solid meal for a good price.

I have been in the restaurant several times, and I wanted to impress my mother, and I did since it take more than two hours to ger the food, from 6:45 p.m. to 9:05 p.m. that is unacceptable in a first class restaurant.
In a word, disappointing. After reading a number...
In a word, disappointing. After reading a number of reviews, and hearing positive things from friends, we decided to try this restaurant for dinner. Everything that we ordered (appetizer, main course, and dessert) was bland or overcooked. The olives in the appetizer where stale and not very tasty; also, for an antipasto platter, there wasn't much variety. The steak was very tough, and the cod was chewy and overcooked with a very oily and bland sauce. The dessert tasted like something off the box of a Jello pudding mix. When trying a new restaurant, we know that some dishes might be less appealing than others. However, at the Wild Orchid, everything that we ordered was disappointing. I doubt that we will return.
