" I recently tried Orchestria Palm Court and was absolutely charmed by the ambiance this restaurant offers. With its collection of player pianos and vintage decor, it's like stepping into a different era. The food was top-notch; I especially enjoyed their Chicken Saltimbocca, which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The ordering system, while unconventional, was not as bothersome as I had anticipated since the atmosphere more than makes up for it. I'd recommend trying one of their specialty fountain drinks, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I do appreciate a quirky dining experience, my visit to Orchestria Palm Court had its ups and downs. The charm of the self-playing pianos is undeniable, but the food was just average for what I paid. I ordered the shrimp dish and found it a little underwhelming. The service was decent, but I had to figure out the ordering system as it wasn't clearly explained. I may give it another shot in the future, but I won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely dinner at Orchestria Palm Court! The furnishings scream nostalgia, and the live music from the player pianos created such a cozy atmosphere. My dish, the shrimp pasta, was made with high-quality ingredients, and the portions were decent. I appreciated the counter service, as it made ordering quick and efficient. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fun night out with good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Orchestria Palm Court is an experience in itself. From the moment you step in, you are swept away by the atmospheric decor, filled with unique instruments playing nostalgic tunes. The menu features a variety of dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, which shows their commitment to quality. I enjoyed the Chicken Saltimboca; it was delicious yet filling. Having to order at the counter is an interesting concept, and while it was a bit confusing at first, it definitely fits the theme of the restaurant. I'd go back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by history, and I felt like I was dining in a museum. The food was superb; the Chicken Saltimbocca stood out as beautifully prepared. It's a little counter-heavy with ordering, but once they bring your food to the table, it was well worth the wait. The atmosphere is one of a kind, and I'd strongly recommend this place as a must-try in downtown San Jose. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was captivated by the ambiance and charm of Orchestria Palm Court. The rich history behind the decor adds to its unique atmosphere.

Definitely a great experience and worth revisiting! " (*Curated Review*)
