It was what I should’ve expected from a trendy downtown restaurant but, for some reason I wasn’t expecting the small bites for the price tag. I will say everything we had was good however I don’t know if I will return. It was a good place to experience once!

We couldn’t get our beverages in sync with our food. Cocktails arrived 10+ minutes after appetizers and wine 10+ minutes after mains. Our salmon was undercooked and had to be redone. Given all the errors a comped cocktail or item removed from the bill would have been appropriate. I can’t recommend this spot.

Waiter seemed a little off- never asked us if we wanted dessert and brought the check prematurely. Tried to clear my husbands bourbon drink which he was still sipping. Food was great but service definitely not up to par

Our only complaint was that it was rather chilly in the restaurant (coming from someone who keeps their house on 68). But it was really fabulous as always.

Fantastic food! Loved the presentation and service. The center table dishes are a bit over-priced for the quantity you get but that would be my only real flaw with the place. Certainly enjoyed the tapas style experience

I was excited to try ORO, but it was very disappointing. It took about 30 minutes for the waitress to even come over to take our drink order. The food was okay, nothing exceptional. The service was terrible. I would not recommend.

One piece of advice: if you want your drink/wine to arrive before your food, don’t order drinks and food at the same time. The small plates (which aren’t that small just fyi) arrive quickly immediately after ordering, which is actually great but they can pile up unless you order a few at a time. If you’re with a group that’s perfect but not for a leisurely dinner for two. The food is spectacular- we sampled every category. The short ribs fall off the bone, the burrata and prosciutto inventive and delicious, the truffle Mac and cheese my new addiction. Most of our choices were GF and there are lots of options. Prices very reasonable.
