My husband and I loved our dinner at Orange Sky! We were celebrating our anniversary and had the pleasure of being seated in a booth by the window. It was nice and intimate plus the views were incredible! Mars and his assistant (I think drew was her name??) made sure everything went smooth and we enjoyed ourselves. Food was delicious and we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a while. Prime rib was juicy & full of flavor. My wife had the Chicken Cordon Bleu which was outstanding. Excellent wine selection too. We highly recommended Frasher’s Tavern. We’ll be back & bring friends!
