    I’m so glad my memory didn’t fail me! My friend wanted to go somewhere with great seafood, and I remembered how fantastic Orca was when I visited a while back. We decided to try it again, and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal, and our waiter was attentive and friendly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’m already looking forward to going back.

    Incomparable. Absolutely delicious food with artistic presentation. A beautiful plate of Cape Salmon prepared to perfection. Add to that the wonderful service and beautiful views. You can always expect a great dining experience from every visit.
