The Orchard

Came to dinner a little after 5pm when it wasn't too busy yet, so there was seating right away. I ordered the tomato bisque and the house salad topped with grilled chicken and creamy garlic dressing. Boyfriend ordered the hummus appetizer for us to share and the Japanese stir fry with crispy tofu. The salad was a good size. Overall the food left me feeling full but not overly stuffed. Food was deliciously packed with flavor. The hummus was the best I've had. Added this to my mental list of favorite eats in Frederick.

We love coming to the Orchard! They have such a great selection of items, there will be something for everyone including vegan and vegetarian options. We always get a glass of their apple cider which is good both hot and cold, and haven't had a disappointing meal yet. Very friendly atmosphere as well.

It's been about a decade since I last went, service was mediocre. I think I only saw the bare minimum (placing order, delivering food, giving check). The lemonade was good, definitely one of the better ones i've had. A bit on the sweeter side but I prefer that over overly tart. The sandwich started falling apart the moment I picked it up (avocado and brie). Maybe they should get stronger bread or wrap them to move contained.
