    Food was perfect. However I would have preferred a little more spacing between the tables and noise level made us raise our voice when conversing. But again, the food was fantastic.

    We've been patrons at Oro for over 10 years and they never disappoint. They are our go to for celebrations or out of town guests, or just a night out. Corey and Cheyenne have become like family and always take excellent care of their guests. Seasonal food and drink menu with some staples, like the truffle Mac and cheese and the chocolate dome which can't be missed! There are always new restaurants to try in downtown, but Oro is a classic that has stood the test of time for a reason!

    ORO’s food is fantastic. We had cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, lamb chops, sea bass and shrimp. For dessert we had a chocolate dome and bread pudding. All dishes will magnificent. My favorites were the cauliflower bussel sprouts and lamb chops.

    Family of 5 looking to have a nice meal before the nutcracker at memorial auditorium. Ballet started at 7:00 so we opted for a 5:00 PM seating. We had the family tasting menu and were delighted with the results. Waiter was great, the meal kept pace so we made the show and everyone talked about how original, creative and pleasing the offerings were. It’s not cheap but everyone loved the meal. It was a perfect fit for a special occasion. The breadth of the meal was wonderful, sea bass, scallops, lamb, pork medallions were terrific. The Brussel sprouts, cauliflower were some of the best I’ve had. If all vegetables were this good kids would never turn them down.

    What a wonderful experience this was! I was referred to Oro by friends who frequent this restaurant. It is in a very easy-to-find corner location but a spot you would easily pass if you drove by. The menu is diverse, and the portions, while not "large," are plentiful. I like the tasting style menu because it offers the ability to try many options without committing to large portions of any one thing if you don't want to. The other fantastic thing about this restaurant is the foot comes out fast and hot! This is perfect for me because I've been to fine dining spots where, while the food was excellent, it was not always brought out at temp that was like it was fresh out of the kitchen aside from a resting period! Their themed drinks were also very cool, and the service was excellent! I definitely will be visiting again and recommend it to anyone looking for a new experience, a nice vibe, and great food.
