    We were there early; so I’m not sure my review applies to later. We were seated immediately, the waiter was awesome, friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely go back there. We were in our second date

    The small plates were delicious- cauliflower, truffle Mac and cheese, scallops perfect. Pork spareribs were tough but the sauce was very good. Drinks perfect and service also. Nice low light ambiance.

    We love the small plates concept as it allows us to try more menu items. The food was expertly prepared. Lamb chop lollipops were amazing. Save room for dessert- chocolate dome was delicious! The server, Cory, was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I look forward to going back.

    I took my husband to ORO for his birthday. He had never been before. The look on his face when he took his first bite said it all. We had been talking about what we missed about or recent cruise. It was the food. The freshness, the deliciousness, that extra something something were all the things we missed so badly. This meal was all of the things and more: it's in our city. Our waiter was charming, motivated and just cool as heck. And I was even more delighted when I was told the chef was tossing around the idea of a vegan, lactose free ice cream to serve as an option. If, or when, they do that, they'll go from A+ to A++ for me. I am a woman who misses a la mode so much because of now being lactose intolerant and would love for this restaurant to ignite a consciousness that maybe others will follow. OR, they'll be the only ones who have their own signature non dairy ice cream that brings folks from miles around just to try it. Hey, a girl can dream can't she...lol!!

    The restaurant was empty . The food was precooked and warmed up before being served . It was not seasoned and it was very dry . Overall, the experience was very poor . The service was good and our hostess was attentive and very polite .

    Great experience. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly and engaging. I think (can't confirm) that I actually met the owner. If so the gentleman provided insight into the food and made recommendations based on our tastes. Also had a great sense of humor. We will be returning.
