   Service was slow. We went there because they listed lots of gluten free options since wife is Celiac. When we tried ordering the Calamari which was listed as gluten-free on the menu we were informed it wasn’t. The Brussel sprouts were good but that was the only highlight. Don’t see us putting this one on regular rotation.

   All of the food was delicious! The cauliflower might as well have been chicken in taste and texture. The drinks were pricy, due to the pomp, but overall would go back! Probably sit at the bar and do 2 small plates and traditional drinks.

   Worst food I’ve ever had in Raleigh. Three of four items ordered were inedible. I highly suggest going somewhere else. The bill for two people was $193, which I’d have been fine with it were a good experience. The place overall is horrible. I work downtown. I eat at many restaurants. This is by far the worst in Raleigh.

   The decor is super cool and a great vibe! Kevin our server-par-excellence was really knowledgeable and fun. Dinner of small plates was great and well timed! WOW!!! The Cocktail I ordered was the best cocktail I’ve literally ever had (and suffice it to say, I’ve had a few🤗)! The bartender made this masterpiece called Why So Ango! It is a balance of delicious flavors, textures spirit and beauty!!l I would so highly recommend Oro!!!

    ORO was amazing. I had the Salmon, fried cauliflower in sweet chili sauce, fried brussel sprouts and I ended the night with the chocolate dome. The chocolate dome was something magical. So glad I ordered it. The environment was somewhat noisy only because there were several celebrations going on, but that didn't bother us and it definitely did not affect our experience or the food. I would give it a 10 out of 10. I would DEFINTELY recommend. I will be going back when I return to North Carolina.

    Table and seating was nice. Our server seemed aloof and waited waited a long time for drinks which we didn’t get for at least 30 minutes. Food was served just after our drinks arrived. Food was delicious but our server rarely came to check on table. The food runner paid more attention to us then our server. We would have ordered more drinks and dessert if they were offered.

    I don't go downtown often, but we had tickets for a show at Memorial Auditorium, and Oro is always our first choice for downtown dining. It did not disappoint. My friends had never been there before, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. For veggies, the cauliflower and the brussels sprouts are the bomb. If you're feeling playful, be sure to order one of their signature cocktails!

    The dinner was excellent. We had the truffle mac and cheese, braised oxtail, coconut curry lobster, and wok fried brussels. All of the food was flavorful and delicious. The Mac and cheese really wowed us. We plan to visit again when we're in town.

    This is my 3rd visit to Oro and we always enjoyed our dinner. But this time the food was mediocre- brussel sprouts came to us burnt, we sent them back for more and they came back half burnt. Jerk chicken was good but other dishes were just ok. Cocktails took a very long to come out, they showed up after our first dish which was order later. The restaurant was also very loud- hard to have a conversation with my husband.

    Waited 30-40 minutes for our first and only drink order (two drinks). We finished four out of five plates before our drinks came. We weren’t asked if we wanted a second round. The waitress gave the same canned response to everyone about “unique ingredients” in the drinks that take a while, but there was nothing unique about a Moscow mule that would take 40 minutes - it was an excuse. If it were true you would get rid of those ingredients. Charging the prices they do should come with a superior experience, but it was unremarkable and borderline disappointing.

    I dined at ORO for the first time on my birthday, and was thoroughly impressed! With some unique craft cocktails served in a smoke-infused box and an assortment of dishes that melt in your mouth, it’s clear that lots of thought was put into this chef-driven tapas concept. My night wouldn’t have been the same without Corey, who absolutely perfected my dining experience. This server is hilarious, caring, and continually ensured our satisfaction! It has a warm, chill vibe and great service! I tried the duck, grilled octopus, watermelon salad, oxtail, and NY strip, and would recommend every single one! All were plated beautifully and absolutely delicious! After every round of tapas, I thought it couldn’t get any better but ORO proved me wrong with each outstanding dish! The “Chocolate Dome” dessert was wonderful! ORO’s atmosphere, craft cocktails, and unique tapas will have you wishing to come back. And another shoutout to Corey for elevating my night from excellent meal to an all-around wonderful dining experience!

    Very expensive for quality. Meal for 2 took approximately 2.5h even though we had 30 min of active eating. Lots of waiting for everything. Was told course didn't have "pieces of onion" and it did. Drinks are very heavy pours which makes them not taste like craft cocktails so not worth the price.

    Overall, enjoyed the experience. Food was well cooked and tasty. I enjoy a tapas atmosphere, Oro didn’t disappoint. Our waitress was engaging and funny. However, she was busy so we had to wait longer than normal to get her attention. I understand she was carrying a lot of tables. The bread pudding was absolutely delicious.

    We went to Oro for Raleigh Restaurant Week. The restaurant has a hip/trendy vibe and is a nice date night spot. The best dishes to order for restaurant week IMO are the confit fingerling potatoes, coconut curry pork shank (highlight of the meal) and the chocolate mousse. Highly recommend the Vera Vinho Verde if you enjoy crisp, sunny wine. I’d definitely come back to try the classic tapas-style menu.

    Total hype-a place that is more show than substance. Great ambiance, but the food is lacking in so many ways. There are better restaurants in the area that are worth the money. The service we received was horrible. The waitress told us she only works there when they are short staff. I hope this is the case because she completely lacks the people skills to make it as a server. We usually tip twenty percent or more. We gave her fifteen percent only because we couldn't bring ourselves to give her the lesser amount she deserved.

    We were seated upstairs at tables less than 2 feet apart. Really disappointed in that. Felt like I was seated with strangers. I was super uncomfortable. Food was delicious as usual, but service was not great. Food was delivered quickly, but we had minimal attention from our server, had to track her down several times to get drinks or order more food. If this had been my first experience at ORO I would not be back. As it is I will not accept upstairs seating again.
