ORO

This place is amazing! Such a great lunch and dinner spot. Today was lunch and I highly recommend the Bento offering. Obviously it changes daily. Today we had the braised short ribs, mixed greens, fingerling potatoes, and an amazing creme brulee cheesecake ALL FOR
$10. Seriously, that has got to be the best deal in downtown Raleigh.
Also had were a couple scrumptious apps/shareables - Sesame Cauliflower and Asian Brussel Sprouts. Oh my goodness the burst of flavors from these! When you go, do not pass these up!
I had the BBQ Shrimp Tacos! Again, some of the most savory and delicious combinations of flavors that you'll ever experience!
Ask for Hunter when you go! Wonderful server and mixologist ????
Get the smoked Old Fashioned. You won't be disappointed!

Took my lovely lady out to this restaurant for Valentine's Day weekend. Salmon, Octopus, Truffle Mac, and Shrimp Tempura were all phenomenal. Glad they encourage sharing. Also, a nice dim lit atmosphere with my kind of music playing in the background. Definitely will be back for more!

I had dinner with a few friends at ORO for the first time this weekend, and I will definitely be back! The food and drinks were fantastic! I especially liked the butternut squash ravioli. The Bath & Boozy drink was served in a miniature bathtub! We had great service, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

Beautiful and open, albeit loud, space. The menu was varied and interesting, with lots of options for the vegetarians as well as the meat eaters. Loved the pearl couscous and the ribs. Liked the diverse wine list. The key lime mousse for dessert was lovely. A nice treat if you’re in the area.

I had a great time here with my date last night. There was a 45 minute wait for a table but it was expected for a Friday evening. We waited at the bar and had a stormy mule. They had a lot of specialty cocktails that looked good. We were seated and ended up getting the sesame cauliflower, caramelized pork belly, and parmesan risotto. All of them were amazing! I really liked their family style for eating. They brought out the dishes to our table and we served ourselves onto our own plates. And we only ordered 3 dishes but it was so filling. The atmosphere was so romantic, a little noisy but it didn't ruin the mood.
