My first experience at Oro was phenomenal. The food and service were top-notch. Plenty of parking and easy access to get in and out.
Excellent food, terrific service, perfect atmosphere! Handled our large group with ease. Can't wait to go back.
I was excited to see they've changed their menu as I was tired of the same old offerings year after year. The two salads we ordered were fresh and delicious. The Caesar was huge, chopped and very garlicky and came with a Parmesan crisp. The second salad was endive, blue cheese, candied walnuts and was large. Dressing on this salad was just ok but salad was nice and fresh. The salmon entree was perfectly cooked and had delicious green beans and sticky rice as sides. The pesto and ricotta baked pasta was absolutely terrible. The pesto wasn't basil pesto but I think was tasteless spinach pesto (I asked the waiter and he had no idea what type of pesto it was). There was barely any ricotta in it and it was dry as a bone. The meatballs that came on the side were good but an odd choice as an accompaniment to the baked pasta (they were in red sauce and pasta was green). They need to get this pasta dish swapped out with another type of pasta entree that isn't over cooked and dry and flavorless. Cocktails are interesting and unusual. Ambiance and service both top notch. We'll be back, I just will order better next time and skip the pasta.
Definitely going back! Fun bar and restaurant. Especially for a party. Service and scheduling a holiday party was simple enough and everyone had great time.
They do a great job at Oro. Chef Robin King's cuisine is constantly excellent. Their wine and spirits menu is solid and the service always comes through. We enjoy the ambiance of the older building, as well.
We had a GC to go to ORO and decide to go last night. The restaurant is lovely and very nicely done inside. The service was spot on.. Valerie is a seasoned server and on her game. The martinis were excellent. I had a regular vodka martini and he had an espresso martini. Kudos to the bartender. We also had the calamari which was nicely done. Now for the food/main dishes. It was good just done a little differently. The duck confit which was shredded duck and pasta mix which was tasty but just not what we expected. The salmon was delicious and cooked perfectly. So now for the real unusual part.. there are very few things on the menu for entrees.. but the website showed many wonderful offerings with photos too. We were looking forward to one or two of those things but they were not anywhere to be found. I really believe they need to update their website because it is very deceiving and not fair to patrons. Hopefully the owners will read this review and add some great seafood dishes like the ones on their site. Scallops and sea bass on your website would be great additions to the menu. Please expand the menu so we can give it another try. I really want to but need some other offerings. TY
