Orwood Resort Inc — Restaurant in California

May 2022: Angel was a fantastic server AND Ceviche tacos and Juicy Burger were amazing!

UPDATE Later Mar 2022: Fish Tacos (mama and the kiddos also split an order) & Sourdough burger again! Sat on front sidewalk overlooking the water. Some mild traffic but very nice ambiance...perhaps even more than sitting on the patio! Great service! Kids even tried a milkshake this time!

Earlier Mar 2022: Fish Tacos & Sourdough burger again for the win. Sat on the patio along the wall, facing the plastic/water. Was told 25-30 min wait to sit outside on this Sun afternoon around 2:45pm -- ended up being beyond that, but they asked for a number to text when ready. When ready, we were placed along the wall as if sitting at a bar, ha. But was fine all-in-all.

Hostess was apparently busy and not very friendly/barely even looked at us much less smiles (almost adjusted to -1 ⭐), but the server was very attentive and she was very friendly even though she appeared to be quite busy. Perhaps they don't tip-share here... 🤔❔ Feb 2022: We did come back for my 40th birthday and again today to get those fish tacos! Back to normal service...wish I could give the 5th star but between not answering the phones for us to see if the hours on Google are correct and a few of our less-than-stellar visits, I have to stay at 4 stars. BUT I can recommend others come visit again! Came in Oct 2020 and got fish tacos...LOVED the fish tacos!!! 5 stars for service, food, & ambiance!

Fast-forward to #Maythe4th and #TeacherAppreciationDay and I chose to bring my family here to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day -- I wanted fish tacos again!

But, there was a sign telling us they re-open at 6:15 and it was almost 6:45. One older sign said Winter Hours meant closed at 3 on a Tuesday, but 5/4 is not winter so I checked Google and their website...they should've been open according to those 2 sources.

So we knocked, just to see what's up... And a dude and this lady both crossed their neck with their hands...assuming that means closed. So my hubs knocked again to ask when they would reopen and the lady ignored it and just kept cleaning behind this thing. Meanwhile, others were coming to eat and we had to share with them what we didn't really know... Was very awkward and the opposite of celebratory...but the lady sure wasn't going to open and tell us anything. So we got fish tacos elsewhere... actually at Wence House, and the fish tacos we're delicious!

2.5-3 stars this "visit", but averaged with 5 stars the 1st visit...plus rounded up because these 2 perhaps just had a hard day = 4 stars.

Returning? Hmmm...

Been coming here for years, since 2012, but won't any longer. Came here tonight, 1/30/22, at 8pm, and we were immediately seated. Ordered two raspberry lemon drops and two steak & lobster dinners. About 15 minutes later the bartender guy came over to the table and asked if we ordered drinks and said the tickets didn't print up clearly. Tickets?? At a one room hole-in-the-wall restaurant?? I told him about the two raspberry lemon drops and he went back to the bar. Minutes later came the steak & lobster dinners, and then finally came the raspberry lemon drops. About 10 minutes later the waitress came around and asked if the food was okay. We asked if they still served bread and salad. She replied, "They didn't bring out your salad?" 🤦🏼‍♂️ As we were half way through the food she brought out the salads. I asked for a box for the salads... She mentioned it was her first night there. She never asked if we wanted anything else to drink. I would have ordered another three or four of the raspberry lemon drops, just for myself, but if it's not that big of a deal to them, then it's not that big of a deal to me; it's just the loss of a sale. And if the bread, salad and drinks don't make it out before your food gets to the table it's just an indication of deeper issues, IMO. From what I could see there were six tables of people total, including the two of us. The bill came out to $103 (two steak & lobster and two raspberry lemon drop drinks). I left "zero" official tip on the credit card receipt, but $10 cash for the waitress to decide how she wants to tell the story. The food was ok, but we won't be going back. Something there seems to have changed; not sure if it's the management, staffing or the food. I'm glad I had two vodka cranberries at home before leaving for the restaurant because I clearly wasn't going to get a buzz there. I'm sure our chickens will appreciate the leftover salad that we...

Resort? For alcoholics and aggressive power boaters. 5 stars for that. Left that behind tho, darn. Not any place for an RVr that doesn't know the ropes.

There is an old volleyball net, and the wifi is pretty good with few other campers around, but I was lucky to find somebody with the password since they don't often answer the phone. Pool? Or even a pool table? Activities? Laundry? Clubhouse? Weight room? Shuffle board?? We just came from a Park (not Resort) with all that for lots cheaper. The Bar (emphasis Bar) and Grill makes a reviewer wait for hours on Father's Day? The boatramp is extra.

Like taking the wrong exit in Lost Wages. A sea of drunk Mommies. Maybe an improvement for their FASD-lipped kids?

No signage for RV park. Locked gate. No way to drive any trailer to the check in (crazy-small dead-end parking lot). Don't expect to get to your site - reviewer says the Sheriff puts his friends where he likes, when he likes.

Had a 30 AMP adapter, but they had an old style plug and don't have any adapters at the teeny store. Had to drive back in to town to get another $40 part, and I was LUCKY to find it. Sites could be easily leveled. Can't use my own washing machine since there is no dump at the site. Neighbor dumped the gray (I hope it was just the gray) tank on the ground. I waited to dump my trailer then paid $25 for the privilege, blocking in parked cars.

Orwood Ripoff. Not Resort. Store clerk was nice, and apologetic, but the dear woman doesn't get it. I guess it seems normal and "buyer beware...
