Oro Raleigh

What a wonderful time we had! The story of an establishment plus the quality of the food and the service create the experience. Once we crossed the threshold into ORO it felt like we were in a restaurant we would find in a much larger and more metropolitan city. The menu was diverse, food was original takes on several Caribbean staples. The drinks were creative to say the least, take a peak at our pics. 🤣. We have the roasted brussel sprouts and normally I don’t indulge but these were emanating umami and were so flavorful. The jerk chicken and its flavoring was reminiscent of the classic flavor but enough to make it stand out. The roasted duck was different for us. It was a new experience but not our favorite, I could not get over the style of preparation, well done on the exterior bit purplish in the internal parts. It was juicy and flavorful just was not my favorite. It was presented nicely and sliced in tender pieces, I can imaging those accustomed to duck know this preparation method. Our server was truly the third arm of the experience. He welcomed us, told us the story of the establishment, provided us with a complementary app and a complementary drink, just to allow us to try two new things. We will be back, this was a good overall experience and we will be back and recommend giving it a try, worked out for a date night or business meeting location.

Came here for girls nights and was not disappointed. The atmosphere is amazing and so was the customer service. Food may take a while to prepare if it’s busy so I would recommend getting an appetizer and drinks while you wait. Also, make sure you know where you park is okay (don’t want to get a ticket from the city) !! Overall, food was great and would recommend ORO.
