I have wanted to visit Oro for a while now, but I have never really been in the area.
Today I was meeting friends for lunch, so I was looking forward to seeing Oro, the friends and trying the food.
Venue
On entering the restaurant is split into two areas the main area when you walk in, and the back area down the stairs….this is where I was seated today.
First impressions really nice visually, and had a nice relaxing and cosy feel.
Where I was seated unfortunately wasn’t too bright, so my photos don’t do the food justice.
The Food
I had no idea what to order, so I just opted for the first thing that caught my attention as everything sounded really nice.
Next time I will try a pizza.
Appetiser
Crab Cakes £7.95
On arrival, this looked really nice, and I liked the presentation….now time to taste.
Wow, I was very impressed! the flavour was really good and I liked the mixture of the sauces with it.
The red sauce you can see was a sweet chilli so it added a nice subtle kick but didn’t overpower the rest of the flavours.

Main Course :
Chicken Risotto £13.95
WOW, this was a big portion! and look at how it was presented….for me this is the first to see risotto presented like this.
This smelled nice, and my mouth started to water so time to dig in.
mmmm, this was a good risotto, the flavour, and perfectly cooked. My only issue was I wish I didn’t have a starter, as I was full 2/3 of the way through so I had to take the rest home with me.
If you visit and love risotto I recommend you try this.

I am very impressed with Oro, the restaurant is very nice inside I loved its style and design.
The staff and service was very good and the food was very very nice.
I am going to add Oro to my top spots list.
