    My husband and I had an early dinner outdoors by the fish pond (as requested) at Blue Orchid Riverside. Weather was excellent as was our meal and service by Travis. We started out with the spring rolls on the happy hour menu; they were refreshing and healthy and served as a salad. For our entrees, I had ginger stir fry with tofu and my husband ordered the black pepper and garlic stir fry with tofu, both with white jasmine rice; they were served nice and hot (temperature) and medium (spice), just as we had ordered. Highly recommended!

    Food was delicious, Ali was a great server and the wine we wanted was not available so they substituted a more costly wine at the price of the one we wanted. Great experience.

    The hostess greeted us warmly and showed us directly to a very comfortable booth. Our server was charming, friendly, efficient, and attentive. The decor and atmosphere are lovely. We agreed that this is the best Thai cuisine we have ever had. We had summer spring rolls and pad Thai, and the quality was outstanding. We would love to return to Blue Orchid on future trips to Jacksonville.
