Great place to enjoy date night. The atmosphere was wonderful, lighting was perfect, not dark or too bright. This particular night there was side Jazz music playing. The food was very tasteful , the service was excellent, didn’t have to wait long at all. The waitress made sure to check in on us and was very helpful with choosing a dish. I would highly recommend the Ribs, they were very flavorful and cooked perfectly . There were so many drink options to choose from, my favorite was, Ms starks. Taste like a sweet spiked fruit tea.

The Orchid Bistro and Craft Bar was super nice! I went there to have dinner with family and friends to celebrate my birthday. We all had an amazing time. The atmosphere was perfect. Food was outstanding. Drinks were popping. The hospitality was amazing. It was about sixteen of us and we ordered various things to eat and nothing was a disappointment. It was a VIBE. Planning to go back again and again. You will not be disappointed.

Orchid Bistro in Antioch, TN, is a delightful new addition to the local cocktail lounge scene, effortlessly blending aesthetics and comfort with a dash of nostalgia. Set against a backdrop of 90s R&B tunes, the atmosphere is both beautiful and inviting, striking the perfect balance between a romantic date night spot and a relaxed venue for after-work drinks. The interior is aesthetically pleasing, with a décor that welcomes you to unwind in style. The staff at Orchid Bistro are incredibly friendly, adding to the laid-back vibe of the place. It’s not often you find an owner who does rounds to perform a ‘vibe check’, but here it adds a personal touch that is both appreciated and welcoming. The food is a standout, far surpassing typical bar fare. The chicken tenders, which I initially thought would be a simple dish, turned out to be the best I’ve ever had – crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. They’re not just thrown onto a plate, either; the presentation is meticulous, making them a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. The lemon drop cocktail I ordered was a quintessential choice, mixed to perfection and the embodiment of a ‘classic baddie’ drink. Supporting a black-owned business like this one feels right, especially when the quality of food, drink, and service surpasses expectations. I’m already planning my next visit for the lamb chops, which I’m confident will be as impressive as the rest of the menu. I’ll definitely be spreading the word and bringing friends along to Orchid Bistro. If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this gem!

Came to Off the clock with Sean Good 92q Takeover weekend. The vibe is good, and the owner is friendly. Came out and introduced himself to everyone and made sure we enjoyed the food. I had a great time. The drink menu prices are a little different from what's charged. It was only $1 difference, so i didn't say anything, but the guest at my table did, and they honored it. Also, they do charge an automatic gratuity even though it was only 2 ppl and they asked me if others could sit with us and it ended up being 6 people. My only question was, why are the fries so white? Seriously amazing time. THANK YOU

I love the laid-back vibe of Orchid. The music selection is great, it fits the crowd and puts you in a chill mood. The music isn't too loud to where you can hear the person next to you talk. The food is a 10 out 10 for me. They have a nice selection of food and drinks to fit your taste. The owners are also present in this business. They come by and check in on you periodically. Thank you all for the GREAT SERVICE!!
