    I had an excellent experience at Oro! 2 of us shared the scallops, mac and cheese, and brussel sprouts and they were all wonderful. The brussels had a special sauce that elevated them from normal brussels. The presentation of the drinks was so fun, and the chocolate dome did not disappoint. Our server, Corey was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back!

    We had a great time. The waiter was extremely nive and very knowledgeable. We loved the brussle sprouts, the golden beet salad and the spare ribs. The lamb chops were slightly too salty but they were still good. The confetti fingerling potatos were okay but I wouldn't get them again. The drinks were great! Overall I would say this place was great and I would come back again for sure. I would recommend this place to my friends and family.

    The servers were lovely. There was a woman who was a trainee.It was by no means, however, seamless service although the restaurant was not busy. There were some glitches with processing the credit card as well. Good, the coconut shrimp appetizer came crispy, not oily, with a delicious dipping sauce. There were four shrimp and considering it was a restaurant menu ($50.) it was a generous portion. The shrimp were fresh and large and the presentation attractive. The main course was a boneless braised short rib with potato gratin, The gratin was constructed well but fairly dull. The short rib, a less expensive cut, was prepared until tender but seriously over salted. This is a problem with many restaurant preparations. It resulted in my glass of water being refilled often. I would give the main a C. The desert was a chocolate molten cake. I have had this at many fine restaurants. I found it over sweetened, finer restaurants present a more semi-sweet version, and the texture granular. While the description said it contained cinnamon sugar I could not taste that, but could taste the caramel and this might have contributed to the over sweetness. I looked at the regular menu. The wine prices were on par with other restaurants, however the mixed drinks that came in cute sculptural containers(the one next to me was a dragon!) were priced as though this was Las Vagas. The regular menu was quite creative, however from my experience, the quality of each item might be hit or miss. I will not be returning.
