We love Orienta, lovely service, fun, varied menu, awesome outdoor seating. Our only critique is way to much soy sauce used on a lot of thee items. We keep going back nonetheless!

Delicious meal on a comfortable summer evening. Only complaint is they were out of the seared tuna dish which is my personal favorite! But the duck with spicy noodles was a nice change and my friends really enjoyed the salmon and cod.

Nice place; elegantly furnished. Great service but staff should know when a menu item is not available. Ordered black bass which was substituted, a glass of Sancerre which was unavailable. Found one bone in the snapper- just about the easiest fish to filet properly. Overall tasty and interesting accoutrements; prices are comparable with mainstream restaurants in the area.

We love Orienta. It’s so pleasant sitting outside under umbrellas & protected from the wind. The food is amazing and so flavorful. The lobster bites were a tasty & unique appetizer. You can’t go wrong with just about anything on the menu. I highly recommend!

The food was excellent. I had the curry shrimp and my husband had the special shrimp and grits, both were delicious. We ate indoors but most people were outside since it was a lovely evening. The service was excellent as always.

Although we had a reservation, it Took awhile to find a table (we were seated at a table for 4 although we were only 2). The table Was right by the kitchen door which was not ideal, although I realize someone must sit there. Even the chairs were not the same as other tables which was not comfortable. Our waiter was annoyed that we only wanted to initially begin with appetizers. Then we were overcharged for an extra serving but he fixed it. On the positive side, the food was great.

Orienta has become one of our favorite restaurants. The quality of the food, and the attentiveness of the service hasn't waned a bit. In fact, it may even be better. This is definitely a Michelin Star type of restaurant. We went on a Tuesday evening, when the usual staff must've had the night off, and we were pleasantly surprised that we were catered to by an equally impressive team. My advice to everyone is to GO HERE, EAT, ENJOY.

We were a first time diner at Orienta and were extremely impressed. Inside it has the feeling of a nice Bistro, with out the noise: Finally someone who spend the money to install noise damming acoustic equipment. How about dining somewhere and you can have a conversation...! On a beautiful evening it is "fun" to eat outside, but the tent as shown on the website looks more inviting. The service was impeccable, very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The food was exquisite; my spouse and I shared 2 appetizers: lobster-shooters and salmon tartare, both outstanding delicious; as main course my spouse was very happy with her seared sesame crusted Tuna and I enjoyed the caramelized chicken. The fried rice was perfect. For sure we will be back to enjoy more of this outstanding high class "eatery". We can warmly recommend Restaurant Orienta.

We had the most delicious dinner at Orienta, the flavors were fabulous and we loved the Lobster shooters in the most incredible sauce ever! The Seared Tuna - cooked to perfection, rare! This was my 2nd night this week mat Orienta! I am from Maine and visiting in Greenwich for the week and just had to return for dinner this week. Will certainly return to Orienta on my next trip to Greenwich!

This is our second time there. The first time, a few months ago, the service was much better. It just seemed slow between taking our drink order and then ordering our appetizers/main course. The lobster sliders are always a hit! Desserts could be improved upon, like a coconut cake vs coco panna cotta which really seemed more like a pudding than a traditional panna cotta.
