I’ve now planned two events at Rivalries and was so impressed both times. One event was a 30th birthday party for about 20 people and the other event was a corporate night out for over 50 people. The food, service, and venue were all excellent. Food and drinks are affordable and they have such a great menu variety, even in their catering section. I also appreciated the options they had for gluten free people. I highly recommend Rivalries for your next event.
We decided to drop some dough on some pies at Old Smith Farm Shop and when I tell you… easily the best pizza I’ve ever eaten. Buffalo chicken Gorgonzola, broccoli chicken with mushrooms, and gluten free pepperoni were absolutely demolished. This is the second closest pizza joint to where I live and I will spend money and go further to get their pizzas any day. 88$ for three pizzas after the tip and it was worth every penny. The atmosphere in the shop is so cute, the owner was very friendly, talkative, and inquisitive, and she was happy to tell me all about their summer operation. I am very much looking forward to warm weather as a recent transplant and I’m excited to see how live the place gets.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free options which are clearly marked on their menu. I ordered the Pad Thai Shrimp which was amazing! They use the perfect amount of seasoning, not too much fish sauce, which I appreciate! The stars which they use to measure the spiciness of a dish are in the pocket! I ordered 3 stars spice level and at Orchid Thai, when you order a certain level of spice you get what you ask for! The food presentation was beautiful with an orchid flower as a garnish and served in a reasonable amount of time. My only complaint is, I wish they would remove the shrimp tails before serving them. They advertise “Fine Dining”, and we pay a fine dining price and leave a generous tip. For that, I should not have to put my freshly manicured nails into my noodle dish and remove shrimp tails! The dining room and bar are clean and pleasantly decorated with artwork and the restrooms are clean. This is one of my favorite Thai restaurants! I highly recommend this as a Gluten-Free friendly restaurant.
