The Orville (Formerly The Poplar Inn)

A birthday celebration at The Orville in West Bend, WI. 2nd floor seating, friendly staff and amazing food. Pasta (gnocchi, bolognese) fried sourdough, and Salmon finished off with Creme Bulee. The Violet Hour martini was an extra special touch. Next time you are in West Bend you must dine at The Orville.

The Orville is located in a historic building. Upon arriving before we got to the front door, the host was already welcoming us with the door open. Every aspect of service was on point. Any drinks requests were taken when anyone's glass was at a 1/4 left. The flavors and tenderness were amazing. Our family shared the steak tartare and the grilled octopus. Both had great texture and the grilled octopus melted in your mouth. Other dishes ordered were steak, scallops, pastas, pork chop, salad, and the heirloom tomatoes with burrata. Everyone commented about the flavors and great meals. The staff are working extremely hard to ensure everyone has a great time.
The restaurant has a large beautiful patio for anyone wanting to dine outside.
This restaurant is a great location for a special event or occasion. You will not be disappointed in your experience.

Came to enjoy dinner on the outdoor patio for it’s lovely atmosphere. Ordered a dirty martini & the steak tartare to start the night off. The caesar salad was so yummy & the lobster bisque too, only complaint is I wish the soup had larger lobster pieces in it for the price. For the entree had the carbonara plus protein, super rich and delicious.

Overall really enjoyed our experience.
Wonderful, exceptional service.
Caesar salad was top notch.
Buratta dish was execellent to me, but my husband wanted cheese to be more milky and squishy inside. (The way it wasn’t made me love it! Ha) EDIT: we went back again and ordered again and it was 1 milky cheesy goodness (rather than 4 individual balls like the first one) … honestly, both ways were excellent.
Steak was cooked medium rare to perfection. Seasoned beautifully.
Would definitely recommend.

My sister and I came here for dinner for the first time since it was The Poplar Inn. This was truly an A+ dining experience. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is excellent. Started with a pomegranate sangria which was very good. We shared an appetizer of artichoke dip with their homemade bread which was savory and perfect. We both had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. I have had many many steaks in my 50 years on earth and this was the best I've ever had. So much so that I've already made reservations to celebrate my birthday here. Ordered carrot cake to go and it looks fantastic! This is my new favorite restaurant.
