Orchard Restaurant - Claremont: Hidden Gem with Delicious Food & Friendly Service

The Orchard is in back of The Double Tree which originally was Griswold's. Christopher was bar tender and Ivan was our waiter. Both guys are awesome. We had cheeseburger and Orchard salad. Both were delicious, it was Friday so they had New England clam chowder. Wow, it was very good. Chef had ham in it and it was also delicious. They also have breakfast buffet daily. Really a hidden gem, we will be back. Very quiet, wished I knew about The Orchard a long time ago. Prices awesome as well. Get sum

Wow, definitely a hidden gem. We were expecting some over-priced bland hotel restaurant, but actually everything and everyone was perfect. The outdoor patio seating is perfect for families with dogs. Nice and warm heaters.... The Orchard salad with the cherry-berries and citrus vinaigrette was tasty and refreshing. The prime rib was thick and perfectly cooked for us, not overdone. Service was great from everyone, especially once they figured out the space heaters... Especially pleased with the value. 2 of us easily shared the daily special, and even the sandwiches include a good sized salad. Much better than most restaurants in the Village. BTW, apparently last Wednesday of every month (till end of summer??) is "Dogs and Cocktails." So come with your dogs to chillax. ****** So we returned a week later. This time also did not disappoint. The service and food were great again, healthy vegetarian options were tasty and filling. Cost for 3 of us was only $42. We asked for an extra bowl to split a soup we received with the vegetarian sandwich and instead they brought out another full bowl of soup gratis. Our new favorite. Good with dogs.

I really enjoy the food .I normally don't do buffets but they had a good variety of dishes , excellent omelettes, waffles, and fresh fruit. The manager or person in charge was so attentive to his customers.

I've wanted to try this place for a while, but always forget about it since it's in a hotel. I hope they're busier on weekends, because we were there on a Thursday evening and it was pretty empty. The food was great, the atmosphere was fine (not sure if there was construction above us as there was some loud noise on occasion, but it didn't bother us). There was a nice outdoor dining area, but it was a little warm so we ate inside. I think the best part though was our server Chris. He was friendly and just overall awesome, and it seemed like the next table over was also enjoying chatting with him. We'll definitely go back!

My mom and I stumbled upon this place after not being able to find parking in downtown Claremont on a busy Friday night. We didn't realize it was part of the Double Tree until we pulled up but still decided to give it a try as it was getting late and we were very hungry. The waiter was very friendly and the menu, while limited had very yummy sounding choices. We were both very happy with our meals. The patio area would be a great place to hang out and have a cocktail on a nice day or warmer evening.

It's a great place for a less busy restaurant. It's very nice inside and has a cute patio area, too. The food is really good and has nice portion sizes. My favorite is the hamburger salad (I posted a pix)

Whenever we come through Claremont, CA, we stay at the clean and comfortable Claremont Doubletree Hotel. A highlight (among many) is the patio breakfast at The Orchard restaurant that is part of the hotel. Bright red umbrellas are spread over tables in a large patio with lots of plants. It is beautiful and comfortable. They have a standard breakfast buffet or a la carte. The servers are always stand out friendly and professional. Today, Ivan served our food. He was the exact right amount of attentive, professional, and warm. People like Ivan keep us coming back to The Orchard in Claremont, CA!
