    I took my husband to ORO for his birthday. He had never been before. The look on his face when he took his first bite said it all. We had been talking about what we missed about or recent cruise. It was the food. The freshness, the deliciousness, that extra something something were all the things we missed so badly. This meal was all of the things and more: it's in our city. Our waiter was charming, motivated and just cool as heck. And I was even more delighted when I was told the chef was tossing around the idea of a vegan, lactose free ice cream to serve as an option. If, or when, they do that, they'll go from A+ to A++ for me. I am a woman who misses a la mode so much because of now being lactose intolerant and would love for this restaurant to ignite a consciousness that maybe others will follow. OR, they'll be the only ones who have their own signature non dairy ice cream that brings folks from miles around just to try it. Hey, a girl can dream can't she...lol!!

    The restaurant was empty . The food was precooked and warmed up before being served . It was not seasoned and it was very dry . Overall, the experience was very poor . The service was good and our hostess was attentive and very polite .

    Great experience. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly and engaging. I think (can't confirm) that I actually met the owner. If so the gentleman provided insight into the food and made recommendations based on our tastes. Also had a great sense of humor. We will be returning.

    Definitely going to come back! Our server was wonderful (forgot his name, sorry) and we loved the food. The wine selection was great! Our favorite dishes were the mushroom carbonara, prosciutto wrapped burrata, brussel sprouts, and the chocolate dome. The noise level was good, didn’t have to yell at each other from across the table. Excited to come back next time!

    We loved every small plate we ordered, but especially loved the Lamb Lollipops and the chocolate sphere for dessert. The staff was amazing and excited about the menu with great suggestions and advice. We can’t wait to go back!
