I had a wonderful experience at Orlando's last night. It was my daughter's high school graduation night and we wanted a simple dinner. We were meeting another family who had the same idea. We were both throwing a big grad party later in the summer so we didn't want to go crazy this night. Many of our favorite places were closed on Mondays or wouldn't take reservations because it was graduation night in the district. So we found Orlando's. We've been there before for pizza but never had dinner. We were so pleasantly surprised. The kids were hungry and didn't want to wait, so we ordered them a cheese pizza to start. It came almost immediately and they devoured it. The bread was fresh and flowing. We ordered appetizers of muscles in white and red sauce, and calamari. Both were amazing, especially the muscles. NO SAND! And what delicious sauce...yes sauce...gravy is for turkeys! We all ordered a variety of entrees and one was better than the other! The pasta was fresh, the vegetables were tasty, the sauce was incredible, and the shrimp, scungilli, calamari, and any other fish tasted right from the sea. We were all raving about our meals when we left. Most of us had take home bags because there was so much food, the dishes themselves were tremendous. The staff was overly friendly even though they were crowded that night. We even had the manager sit with us for awhile to congratulate the girls. We will certainly be going back soon. I can't wait to eat my leftovers for dinner!
Orlando's is in Colts Neck on Route 34, near the Colts Neck Pharmacy and Huddy's.
