Where Wisconsin Roots Meet Global Flavor

There’s a fresh energy blooming down West Verona Avenue—Orchard Verona is getting ready to welcome neighbors with open arms, seasonal plates, and a patio made for soaking up Wisconsin’s finest days.

Opening April 11th, book your reservation here.

Orchard isn’t just another restaurant; it’s a celebration of local flavor, rooted—quite literally—in a working organic orchard. Specializing in heirloom English and French cider apples, the team behind Orchard crafts wine-like ciders and small-batch European-style apple brandies that feel both refined and refreshingly local. Pair those with dishes built around the best ingredients southern Wisconsin has to offer, and you’ve got a dining experience that’s both exciting and approachable.

Heading up the kitchen is Chef Ian Hutchins, a recent transplant from Vancouver with a resume that reads like a culinary grand tour: Hilton, Marriott, private clubs, and large event venues. But for all his big-league experience, Chef Ian’s secret weapon is simple—garlic. He’s got a soft spot for diners who snap photos of their plates, seeing each click as a quiet compliment to the care behind every dish.

On the hospitality side, the front-of-house is led by Siri, a classically French-trained chef with over 15 years in the hospitality industry. She’s spent time in Michelin-starred restaurants and worked with fashion photographers across Europe and India, even launching a British afternoon tea box business in Brooklyn. At Orchard, she brings both warmth and polish, striving to create a laid-back yet lively space where everyone—from cider connoisseurs to curious newcomers—feels appreciated.

The team’s commitment to quality extends to the bar, where a new wrap-around setup invites guests to try tasting flights of cider, apple brandy, craft beer, and spirits from local standouts like Stateline Distillery and Giant Jones Brewing. It’s a little bit of everything Wisconsin does best—just served with a side of style.

And the patio? It’s shaping up to be a local favorite. With space for live music, outdoor dining, and those picture-perfect golden hour hangs, it’s where Orchard’s “gather and grow” spirit really comes to life.

Whether you're stopping by for a Sunday brunch, a Friday night flight, or a midweek unwind, Orchard promises something special with every visit.
