We couldn’t resist Orbis’s special offer Lunch for Two and were pleased to be able to choose our favourite dishes at a very affordable price. The Bang Bang Cauliflower is still our number one choice, with Slow Cooked Belly Pork coming in a close second. The service is always friendly here and we had a lovely table by the window to do a bit of people watching 😃. We’re so pleased this restaurant is close by and have already made our next reservation.

5 of us for Christmas meal. Sat upstairs for the first time, good ambience, welcomed with a smile by the girls at the bar, who showed us to our table. Food and service were excellent. Really helpful young waiter, who allowed us to eat at our pace (last visit we felt food rushed out) We actually ordered food twice, and were at the table nearly 5 hours. Flew by. A really enjoyable experience. But; not accepting Ammex is a negative. Avios points are king on an expensive night out. Does have an influence on choosing venue.

I cannot fault Orbis - our experience last weekend was just fantastic from start to finish! Three of us dined on a Friday night - the restaurant was busy but we were never made to feel rushed and had our booth from 7pm - 10pm. The cocktails are the best in Stamford (their Pornstar Martini - 10/10) and every single dish we had was delicious (6 in total). I had contacted the restaurant via Instagram late the night before our visit to ask if they could do something special for my friend’s recent engagement. I received a reply early the following morning of my request with a “no problem”. After our main meal a lovely dessert with personalised message was bought to our table, much to my friend’s surprise (and delight!) It really made a fabulous evening even better. We all cannot wait to come back. Kudos to all of the staff that we met, all friendly and laid back but very professional. We were also personally looked after by the manager who was lovely ☺️ Thank you once again!

Absolutely astonished by the service received here at Orbis, the only good thing about my experience was the food itself minus the fact being told they couldnt get hot/spicy sauce from the kitchen? Even though it was open considering the last table you can book on the website is 10pm i am not sure as to why this was closed to early on and that sauce wasn't even available, luckily the waitress did then find some Tabasco in the bar. Now in total to spend over £100 for two people i believe this wasn't worth it at all and the experience was nowhere near what we expected, I sent an email voicing this to be partially offered an apology to then be ignored, clearly service is as bad via online as it was in person.

Heard great things about this restaurant but it was very very disappointing. The food was average and the staff made us feel like numbers in a money making production process. Sorry guys but the scripted lines of "welcome" and "we value your feedback" just didn't convince. We heard the very young staff saying exactly the same thing in exactly the same way to every guess. Monosyllabic sales pitch.

Food was excellent but the service was lack luster. We order a round of drinks when we first arrived along with water which never arrived. Not once through out the hour and a half we were there was we asked if we wanted any more drinks or have a check back on the table. One of our courses came out while my partner was still eating her main. At the end of the meal we were left for nearly half an hour with empty glasses and empty plates, while four members of staff proceeded to not acknowledge that we were finished. Had to go upto the bar to ask for someone to come over to us by this point we were frustrated. We were then charged for drinks we did not have. Overall a bad experience for a couple who have a new born baby and don’t get to go out much to have on a special night like Valentine’s Day too.

My daughter took me to Orbis Stamford this afternoon for their Taylor Swift themed boozy brunch. It cost £39.50 each and although we both enjoyed the selection of cocktails offered, we both thought it was incredible ODD that their food menu consisted of only 5 breakfast dishes, ie, English breakfast, scrambled eggs, eggs royal etc. As it was brunch and our sitting was for mid afternoon, why were we only offered breakfast food that was mediocre at best ?? We both live and work in Stamford but neither of us will return to Orbis again because we feel that they should have at least offered a couple of lunch food options rather than breakfast that consisted of hard chipolata sausages and overcooked bacon. The food options or menu was not displayed on their website when advertising their boozy brunch, if it had I’m not sure we would have booked.

We had an amazing experience at orbis last night! The food was just amazing. The girls worked really hard to made my birthday special. Hollie was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the food and drinks and explained the concept to us so clearly. Millie (I think her name was - she was training) was amazing too, so friendly and smiley. I felt so comfortable and welcome there which means a lot for someone who gets a bit anxious going out for meals😅 11/10 for food, service and restaurant overall. We will definitely be back! Thankyou!

On Saturday 6th July 2024 Orbis hosted our wedding! Yes a wedding! The staff were amazing from start to finish. From the initial booking and meeting to the communication and assistance throughout. They put our worries and concerns at ease and ensured that everything was covered. The organisation was brilliant and they couldn't be more helpful. Our guests were blown away by the food, the drinks were amazing, the cocktails were sensational. Considering it is 'just a restaurant' they made it feel like we had booked a bespoke wedding venue. Tiny touches throughout the day made the experience amazing. Individual desserts for the bride and groom, Personalised cocktail menu for the day, separate food options for guests with allergies. The whole day from start to finish was perfect and

We were highly recommended to this restaurant by friends, could only get a 5.45 booking but sadly there were many tables free around 7 which is when we would have preferred to eat. Food was very tasty, but expensive for the dishes. We were advised that the dishes would come steadily but as different people delivered each set of dishes there was no overview of what we had so we missed out on the coconut rice and were delivered one extra cauliflower which we said we hadnt ordered. Desserts were small, coffee was split on serving in the saucer with no offer to replace, my friends dessert was handed over my ccffee and dislodged as was serving and lots of her chocolate crumb fell into my coffee. Sorbet dish was small and disappointing. It was a shame as we looked forward to it very much but was off the mark.

We have dined here many times over the years. Always been amazing quality, service, delicious food. Was disappointed this time. New menu is smaller portions, the food coming out when it’s ready doesn’t mean it’s hot and fresh it felt more like left on the side and they’ll take it up when they have time. Our dirty fries were cold, bang bang cauliflower had barely any sauce on and our 5th dish (tacos) never arrived as was given to another table by accident. Was told we’d get dessert free for the error but only has one dessert taken off the bill. For 4 small average side dishes and a few drinks it was almost £85. It was a special occasion and was left feeling really underwhelmed. I never ever complain but this was my fave restaurant and after the last couple of times I don’t think I’ll be going again.

What a beaut you are Orbis. Celebrating my birthday and it was brilliant. Fab atmosphere, lovely Asian tapas (adored the bang bang cauliflower), good price for the 4 of us at £50 per head, which included 3 bottles of SV blanc and so many dishes I can’t even remember (must have been the wine!). Host was excellent and chatty which added to the atmosphere! Thank you and see you again soon. Edward, Steve, Roxanne & Nikita

Being my first occasion to Stamford for a meal, I did some research of restaurants in the area. The Orbis came highly recommended, so I set my booking through their website which was very easy. It offered two areas of the restaurant to eat, in the main dining area on the ground floor or seating on the first floor.It did take some searching for the restaurant itself but with help from a very nice lady from the restaurant who even said she would come looking for us if we lost our way, parking could of been a problem not knowing where the best place to park would have been not having been previously to Stamford.Although I was lucky to locate parking 5 minutes walking distance, entering the restaurant it had a feel of class to the atmosphere. We were greeted at the door and lead to our table on the first floor, this was up a flight of stairs which was lit by black light so beware of any unforgiving stains lol!The dining area was a narrow area but roomy enough for seating distanced adequately, the service staff were very polite and Megan who waited on us was particularly well attentive and polite ensuring our visit was a memorable one for all the best reasons.Megan explained the best recommendations with some pointers regards ordering different dishes, with sides to match the main which was very helpful.Once ordered the drinks followed by the food was very quick to the table, it was well presented and tasted just as good and reasonably priced for such cuisine.We enjoyed our visit to the Orbis and the service provided by very likable staff thank you Megan and your colleagues and not forgetting the Chef who cooked our meal.

After 3 visits to Orbis I feel I can give an accurate review. The first time I came here in September 21, I was pleasantly surprised by the food, we had the 14oz wagyu steak and sticky rice and a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Lovely, nothing to complain about and the experience was perfect. Second visit, also sept 21, there was a larger group of us so we ordered more plates. We had to send two different dishes back as when they arrived with us they were cold. As in, not even warm, one of the dishes came back still cold. Please don’t get me wrong, the food was still incredibly tasty. However, as a group all going out together, it’s an inconvenience and disturbs the atmosphere when sending food back. Last visit this weekend, again wagyu steak, sticky rice and “dirty fries”. We were seated promptly. Sat at the table and ordered drinks swiftly. However we were sat for 40 minutes and had 2 drinks before any of our food arrived, which felt very slow and it wasn’t overly busy. Food arrived, steak was cold, not even warm, so notified the waitress who took it away. When she returned, she said “The chef has warmed the steak through for you but if you want it any hotter he will have to over-cook it”. I didn’t think anything of this at the time, but surely even if we order steak and it’s cooked medium rare, it should still come to the table hot?? It was like a backhanded solution, the steak was now hot this time, but I felt a bit uncomfortable like we had inconvenienced the kitchen. Also very disappointed by the dirty fries. They were just chips with yellow cheese sauce over them and tiny bacon sprinkles (ok the menu says bacon crumb), I expected a lot better quality for the money and from Orbis.

We’ve been fans of Orbis since it opened and the food just gets better and better. For the first time we went for one of the set menus. Choice of small plates was spot on - tacos, gorgeous prawns, cornflake satay chicken and the famed bang bang cauliflower amongst the line up. Plenty of food, they were flexible and let us swap out a dish. We love the cool interior and the staff are always great. Thanks Orbis 🙏🏼
