I have been eating at Park and Orchard for sometime on Saturday evenings. I like potatoes with my dinner as opposed to rice. I have told the waitstaff everytime that I would like to substitute potatoes instead of rice which most meals come with. Everytime the waitstaff has complied with my request. I had a waitress this Saturday that never waited on us before. I asked for potatoes and she said there would be an additional charge of $2.95 for the potatoes. i explained that i never paid extra for potatoes before and since she was adamant, i asked to speak to the owner. I explained to the owner and he said if he knew who substituted potatoes for rice without charging they would be fired. He said its the restaurants policy to charge extra for potatoes. It wasnt the extra three bucks for the pottaoes but more the principal. In these tough economic times, it seems greedy to chage extra for potatoes. I apid for the potatoes but will never eat there again. as far as the food goes, its average and nothing special. After my meal was finished, I told the owner that I would never be back and he didnt care. I'd recommend Risotto house or Paisiano's on Park Avenue in Rutherford instead.
Pros: none really. food is just average
Cons: greedy owner and miserable waitstaff
