    I was very disappointed in the chef's inability to prepare my lambchops well done as requested. When I initially placed my order, I asked that they be cooked well. As I began to slice my lambchops, I immediately noticed pink and a bit of blood. The wait person took them back to the kitchen, and when he returned with them, they were burnt and tasted burnt. I always order my lambchops well done and have never expected this.

    Server Savannah was awesome. Some of the food didn't measure up as advertised. Bone marrow had more duck in it than bone barrow.

    My out of town guest was highly impressed with this restaurant. I’ve been several times for my birthday. Our waiter Corey was excellent answering all our questions and making accommodating recommendations. He complimented my date on his attire. You can tell he truly enjoys serving at this great establishment. He even brought out my bday dessert (sorbet) with a candle making the night even better.

    I had the opportunity to dine at Oro for the first time recently, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, which made us feel welcomed right from the start. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, tempura cauliflower, Calamari, mixed potatoes, and lamb pops, all were delicious and packed with flavor. Overall, I was impressed by the food quality and service. I would definitely return for another visit to explore more of the menu and give it another try!

    We enjoyed the calamari, brussel sprouts, jerk chicken, scallops, and mushroom carbonara. All were delicious and our waiter was amazing. The presentation of some of the dishes and cocktails is above and beyond. Although everything was good, it is quite expensive and I'm not sure it's fully worth the price.
