Sunset Dinner Menu at Orange Hill Restaurant.
Have you been to Orange Hill Restaurant? You’ve had about 40 years to get there. It’s on the top of a steep hill in Orange, California. It’s a bit scary driving up there, but the views are spectacular. And it’s been a great place for wedding receptions, prom dates, special events, romantic dinners and many good times.
Right now, from 4:30 – 6:30 nightly, they’re serving a Sunset Menu for $19.95 — It’s a prix fixe menu that includes a choice of the Orange Hill Salad or Maine Lobster Bisque, and an entree of Prime Rib of Beef (above), Fresh Atlantic Salmon, Chicken Dijonnaise (below) or Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. And all is served with a slice of House Made Cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis.
It’s an excellent deal for really good food and amazing views — A perfect date place. I was wishing I wasn’t with my friend, HA.
Orange Hill has seamlessly been remodeling room-by-room over the past few months and has just one left. It’s more up to date than it once was, but has no major changes — They do have a showcase kitchen you get to pass through on the way to one wing of the restaurant. That’s fun to see.
And you’ll see tons of Koi Fish in the pond as you walk across the bridge towards the restaurant. It’s pretty cool. We were there to see the daylight view and watched the sun go down as we dined.
I’d love to go back for the Sunset Menu — It’s a meal deal on a hill. Others hang out sipping cocktails near the outdoor fire pits. Orange Hill Restaurant has much to enjoy, once you get past the drive up.
FYI: Orange Hill Restaurant is not related to the Orange County Mining Co. Restaurant, which is on a different nearby hill. Some have confused the two.
We always take our out of town visitors to Orange Hills. The Sunset Dinner Menu makes it a “must go” and often as possible. Remember to tip the valets because they are not paid by the restaurant.
