    We went for the Chef's Tasting Menu. There were some hits and misses. The beans, bread, rice ball, and spaghetti were very good. The scallops and lamb were nothing special. The dessert was also a miss. The portions were very small for $75 per person.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on September 30, 2024
    Clint, Thanks for coming in and providing some specific feedback on the dishes. Obviously we'd like to have more of those in the hit column and can always make adjustments or check and make sure a dish is being prepared properly while you're in the restaurant. So, please always feel free to let us know. This was our first weekend with the new menu and we will continue to refine it and, of course, it will change completely in a few weeks so we'd love to see what you think of Chef Fiore's next Seasonal Menu. Be well, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Over priced, drinks were mediocre. Service is not exceptional. That’s what you get for including the tip in the bill.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on September 30, 2024
    John, I'm sorry you feel that way and that we weren't able to do anything while you were in the restaurant to improve your experience. We include the service charge so that everyone in the restaurant can be guaranteed a living wage, health benefits and PTO and no one has to rely on tips to augment their $2.13/hr wage. This has worked for us and for our team for over 8 years and typically I think we've given pretty good service. Obviously, there are missteps and we hope to make up for those when they happen. I'd love to hear more about when and where you ate so I can figure out why we weren't able to do that for you. Hope to hear from you. Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Poor from the start. Slow, small drinks. Bartender never came back or offered water. Bread was burnt. Oysters were in a tasteless salty watery liquid. Pasta came out cold and was over powered by lemon. Had to stand to get service 3 times. Auto added 20% tip and a 3%+ charge for credit card. Avoid.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on September 30, 2024
    Nathaniel, I'm very sorry for this experience. This was our first week serving our new Seasonal Menu and I'd love to get you back in to give it another try. I'll be in touch with our managers to find out more about what happened on your table and be reaching out to you privately. Take care and thanks for coming in. I'm sorry we weren't able to fix your experience while you were in the restaurant. Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    The dining room was reservation only for chef's tasting menu. We've visited Loca Doro multiple times and this was definitely a change. I didn't mind trying the chef's testing menu at all. However, at the price point it was at, plus the mandatory tip and credit card charge, we felt the value was really lacking for how expensive the bill was. Not all the dishes hit the mark, although most were pretty good. The limon spaghetti was the stand out dish of the night. The scallop ceviche was so underwhelming and had a fishy taste to it. A friend in our party requested an alternative to scallop as he did not like shellfish. They ended up giving him radish as an alternative, which felt really lacking in effort and value. While we were there for 2 hours, the dining room only had 4 tables filled (including ours), and this was for dinner service on a Friday evening. I am used to Loca Dora being completely packed on Friday evenings. I think they should really rethink the whole setup of dining room reserved for chef's tasting menu only. Overall, I like the a la carte menu at Loca Doro way more that I would return for that and pass on the tasting menu in the future.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on September 30, 2024
    Connie, We know it's a big change and we really appreciate you coming in to support us on the opening weekend of the Seasonal menu. It's something we're excited to share and we can still prepare all the a la carte dishes that you're used to on the bar side and on the patio. As with everything we do, we'll be evaluating the cost and value and changing this menu regularly to hit the right notes. It sounds like we'll see you again and you should keep an eye on that Dining Room menu and I hope we'll be able to entice you to give it another try sometime soon. Be well and thank you, Adam Orman, Co-Owner

    Excellent dinner with my sweetie at the bar (a la carte menu). Wonderful as usual! Roasted olives, Little Gem Salad, Polpette (these meatballs are truly delicious) and the Hiramasa flamed over the fire, beautiful char and flavor bomb). Great martinis, margaritas (they make their own orange liqueur!) and the solid wine list make this a lovely spot — we love it here and will be back. Staff and management are truly top shelf, in every way. Thanks for a great evening.
    L'Oca d'OroResponded on September 30, 2024
    Brett, Thank you! Glad you enjoyed everything and glad that it will all be different next time you're in. That's our goal and now you can try the Dining Room Seasonal menu for a completely different experience. Look forward to introducing you to more of our housemade liqueurs as well. Take Care, Adam Orman, Co-Owner
