Server & staff was great!!
We were promptly seated upstairs. Drinks were good as well as the service. We had 4 dishes, lamb chops, mac & cheese, coconut shrimp and another dish which I’ve forgotten. All the food was served hot and had great flavor. Glad that Oro has continued its great service and dining experience.
My boyfriend and I went to Oro for a casual dinner date and we were wowed by the food and the service. Corey was our server and he was phenomenal. The food he recommended was delicious and all the flavors complemented each other. We will definitely be back!
Awesome, Hunter is great, had fish tacos, sprouts,and banana bread pudding....Perfect wine too!
This is one my most favorite restaurants ever. Food is great, cocktails are awesome and service is outstanding. I always look forward to eating there.
Cory was a great server. The food was delicious, especially the octopus, oh my goodness, though it was a little on the small side. Curry shrimp, yum, but only 4. Brussels, cauly, everything, very tasty. We'll definitely be back.
Very good and the server was a super nice dude i woukld go again
We had an amazing time for my mom’s birthday. The waiter at Oro was absolutely phenomenal. He knows his sh*. Everything we ordered was superb. Standing ovation to the chef. They even let me come in a little early and decorate the table for my mom for her celebration. Will definitely be coming back!
It was amazing! Great food! Incredible server! Wonderful service!
Bacon wrapped dates, chocolate tower and Seabass were amazing! Lamb was over cooked and Brussels had too much sauce. The environment was great. Cory our server, and Josh were amazing but for $160 meal for two, I would have expected a bit more.
Great selection of small plates and wonderful craft cocktails.
Food was great but the ambiance was lacking a bit because of the lack of people. Feels like the kind of place that needs to be crowded and a bit noisy to feel right. Hopefully that will be the case again post Covid.
Food was underwhelming and the service was below par. I expected more with all of the other great reviews.. and COVID can’t be deemed an excuse. One server reached across my partners plate to fill the water cup and removed a plate before we were done eating from it. When asked what the beer list was, the other server stated, “I am the beer list” and wasn’t able to accurately recite what beers they had. Then when asked how the food is, we claimed it was “ok” and the server responded with “just okay?” and walked away. Not looking for the next James Beard award winner, just wanted a nice Saturday evening out, but it was below my expectations given all other reviews.
This was my third time at Oro and it gets better every time. The service was amazing, food is phenomenal, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. I love this place for any occasion. Highly recommend the Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, octopus, lamb chops, and the tabletop s’mores.
I enjoyed every aspect of Oro. The decor, food, and price we all great. I’ve already recommended it to friends and will definitely be attending next time I’m I Raleigh.
The food and atmosphere are always great at ORO. It’s a very lovely place to see and be scene.
not bad, first time ,we try a new one every week,,,, crab cakes not good, Crab legs offered but wisely the server suggest not~
lots of opportunity to improve for sure. Ribs good, veggies good. drinks good.
cream Brule cold in the middle and top was not hot,,,,, could be better.... back again some time soon
Great dinner! Celebrating wedding night. Cory was delightful. Appreciated the complimentary champagne.
Great wine list! Must try the cauliflower and fish tacos. Friendly staff and a favorite of ours!
Absolutely love this place, I went for my Birthday dinner and it was definitely amazing. Our server was also amazing, and don’t get me started in the drink presentations. If you’re thinking of going just go, you won’t regret it.
So many interesting cocktails to start - 5 star presentation, 5 star taste. Great server advice on plates and portions. Wish I had room for more.
Very cool place. Food was good but know that they service tapas style - a little pricey per plate but worth it. Our waiter Corey was awesome!!!
Oro has been a favorite of ours for years. The service was good, the food was good (but not hot when it got to us upstairs). The cocktails are “fun” but if you don’t like one of the ingredients listed, bartender isn’t very accommodating.
Food was amazingly delicious! Cory provided great service. The patrons were also engaging across tables. Memorable experience. Will be back!
It was an amazing experience. I am definitely coming back. The waiter treated me excellent for my birthday.
Creative and fun cocktails and delicious food!
It was our first time visiting Oro for a birthday dinner and it was great. From the time we checked in until we left, we enjoyed it. Our waiter Cory was great and relatable. We enjoyed the window view and food! We’ll definitely go again!
I randomly picked this location because the decor/ ambiance was nice in pictures. The cocktail drinks were amazing and had great presentation. Definitely worth the money!! The food was also good. If one suggestion, the Mac and Cheese was a little loose. If it was minus the bread crumbs, had a more thick and cheesy consistency, it’d be better. However, the Ribs, Jerk Chicken, Brussels Sprouts, and Crab Cakes were delicious!
It was my daughter’s b’day. Corey was AMAZING and attentive and funny. The food was FANTASTIC. Cauliflower, filet, Mac & cheese (!), baked Brie, brussels, s’mores and creme brûlée! Well done!
Great food and great service!!! We will definitely be returning.
The Truffle Mac & Cheese was amazing! I was initially repulsed by the consistency - because let's be real it wasn't "traditional" baked mac, lol - but this dish turned out to be such a pleasant surprise! The flavor was outstanding, and I was genuinely impressed! I thoroughly enjoyed this dish.
Go for the elaborate cocktail presentations and chef's tasting to try all of the foods! Octopus is a must-eat.
Food was ok. Should have some spicy options. Asked for hot sauce. Waiter was rude about it and said they only have sriracha, I said thats fine and he questioned my choice of putting sriracha on the salmon. (Idiot never brought my sriracha). Sound level was too high. Couldn’t hear my GF from the other side of the table (2 feet away). Waiter was also annoying going back and forth yelling and singing loudly and bothering us when we were trying to eat and have a conversation. Also didn’t bring a candle with the dessert even though I told him it was my gf’s birthday. Thought it was going to be upscale with white table cloth tables and professional waiters/scene. Disappointed (especially since it was for a birthday. Smh) never going back.
Everything we ordered was excellent!
As always Oro never fails to impress me. The service is fantastic, the food is so good. We like the unique drinks to go along with the dinner experience.
Amazing place! First time there and it was on Valentine’s Day. The waitress made everything a breeze by explaining dishes, drinks and giving great recommendations!
I drove down from Wake Forest for a night out on the town during Valentines. Overall it was a good experience. Our server Hunter was great, he was very knowledgeable, attentive and personable. We ordered the Salmon with Pearled Couscous, nicely cooked. The avocado fried salad was good for what it was, the Truffle Mac and Cheese was excellent and the Crab Cakes were ok. Crab Cakes had a little too much filler and not enough crab. Over all I found it to be good not great and don't think I would specifically do the 30 minute drive again. But if you are close to downtown it is a nice option for a date night dinner out.
Delicious food, great environment & service. Will definitely be back!
Very nice place. All the employees had positive attitudes.
Hunter was a great server! Food and drinks were also good. Such a good vibe and atmosphere.
