The food was disgusting!!!! Kale salad with old croutons, uncooked popovers, frozen dessert and tasteless coffee. I never will go back and will not recommend to anyone.

Amazing attention to detail and great tasting food. The spaghetti neri with squid was amazing. Most places don't cook the quid properly, and tend to overcook them and it comes out rubbery. But this place, it was soft and delicious.Bacon on a string was great and so decadent.Drinks were unique, delicious, and the perfect amount of punch!I would return in a heart beat.While seated outside (due to COVID-19), we were promptly moved under a tent once they even thought it would rain. It was quick and seamless. They really are organized.

Highly recommend this place, especially for a romantic dinner or special occasionThe outdoor dining was a large set of tables under tents on well manicured grass- simply lovely decor and setting! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Definitely the elevated service and attention to detail you would expect for this kind of dining.COVID safety measures were in place- all staff was wearing gloves and masks. They took your temperature and contact information upon arrival.There's a full bar and nice wine selection. The menu is seasonal and features high quality products. The food was presented with care, beautiful plating.. and most importantly perfectly executed! Everything we ordered was delicious. You are greeted with huge popovers when you are seated (pictured). The table side torching of the clothesline bacon appetizer was a fun touch. We also had Branzino (pictured), seared tuna, fingerling potatoes (roasted to crunchy perfection) and asparagus..

We were asked to leave as they were afraid of the thunderstorm: we arrived with a hungry baby for a pre-scheduled dinner and basically were shown the door by a condescending GM (or whatever he called himself) who had an attitude as if he manages a 3 Michelin star restaurant (after having been called with a confirmation for our dinner 10 min before). Extremely rude and unprofessional: i would never go there again.

So lucky to have experienced this restaurant before it closed. I was told they have 1 more week until they cease operations. However David Burke has many more establishments that I will be trying.

We arrived to see a beautiful setting, but found there to be no heat lamps outdoors with 50 degree temperatures. Outdoor dining has been alive and well for months now with Covid protocols so we were shocked that such an establishment would be so woefully unprepared. We did not sit for dinner and will not return unless changes are made.

The food at David Burke at Orange Lawn never disappoints. Inventive yet classic. Bravo to the chef and staff. Only knock is that table, after three courses, gets a bit covered in crumbs, etc., and the otherwise attentive waitstaff didn't bother to clean it up.

Food was good though not spectacular. The clothesline bacon was very good, the entrées were good (though not amazing) and my husband really enjoy the banana cream pie. Very limited desert choices for anyone who can't eat gluten. Service was poor. Our waiter completely forgot about us after we ordered dinner. I had to flag down a server to get the dessert menu & then wave my arms at the servers who were at the serving station at one end of the tent to order dessert. Then we had to ask for utensils for the dessert. I had to ask for water twice and they didn't even provide a pen to sign the check. I understand why they need a serving station at the tent but it's too close to some of the tables. The sound of the plates and utensils banging around is loud and doesn't say fine dining to me. Also one of the managers asked if he could take one of our chairs for a table on the other side of the tent even though we were next to two empty tables - that was weird and unnecessary.

Service was good. Menu had lots of choices that could appeal to many palettes. One of the entrees we had was the Bone-in ribeye for 2. It was priced at $90 which is nearing NYC steakhouse pricing. Though the size of the steak was fine (30 oz with the bone), the cut was very fatty. I have to say it was a little disappointing. Overall the meal was decent, but somewhat pricey for the experience

This was one of my favorite spots prior to Covid. My husband and I finally went back this weekend. Sadly the inside restaurant is still closed. We sat outside under a tent, but were cold bc no space heaters. My drink took a while to make and arrived incorrect. The tuna tacos are always a hit! Lobster dumplings were disappointing - we should have stuck with our usual bacon. We shared the steak for 2 which was undercooked but okay. Next time we will go back to getting separate entrees. Needless to say, we probably won't return until we can eat inside. It just felt less special outside and we did not get the same attention as the team usually provides when indoors.

There were no heaters and it was outside in October! It was freezing! There was a wedding going on so techno/dance party music was playing the entire time throughout dinner. The service was extremely slow. They had like 3 waiters. Not happy.

Third time being there with temperatures dropping - could have used propane outdoor heat source - there was a wedding going on inside and none of patrons seemed to be wearing masks when roaming through building, i.e. ladies lounge -- felt a little uncomfortable

Dining under the tent next to the tennis bubble was certainly less than ideal, the food was well prepared but much of it was served cold, presumably because of the time & distance from kitchen to the tent. Overall has the look & feel of a wedding at a catering all

David Burke has found a way to create a certain special magic under the beautifully set up white tent and twinkling lights in response to COVID challenges. The menu never fails to deliver, the staff has been gracious and safe all around, and well, those cocktails will certainly make the night a joyful one. Love visiting.

Dined there this past weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. They have a beautiful setup for outdoor dining during pandemic. Service was excellent. Very attentive. My wife started with a salad which was very good and I had the gazpacho served with shrimp . The gazpacho itself was delicious, but very small portion. It seemed like server who pours it into bowl didn't pour full serving. For an $18 appetizer I expect more. For dinner my wife had the chicken Milanese which she said was very good. I ordered the U 10 grilled shrimp. Server said I would receive 6 or 7. I received 5 and clearly weren't U10. Definitely smaller. Also they were served with nothing on a small bed of wilted arugula. Again for $35 I expect more. That being said they were delicious. Based on taste this place is a 5 But because of the deficiencies it drops to a 4
