The ambience was nice, however the food was not good, and the service was pretty slow. The music was nice, but it made it difficult to have a conversation. We were seated at a table right next to the DJ. We also were reminded of our time constraints pretty early in the evening and therefore felt rushed. Very pricey for the food and experience.

staff was a bit odd. every interaction with each employee felt flustered, unpolished and awkward. i shared my dietary restrictions and the waitress responded by saying “yikes” and then called me special needs. the food was good but expensive for the portions.

Really loved the atmosphere, sound and service. The food was pretty pricey for what it was. We had the edamame which was drizzled with some sticky sesame sauce (very messy to eat), duck taco (ok) and lobster arepas (this dish was tasty but difficult to eat). With the amount of duck in the duck taco, I think it really could have been two tacos which would have been easier to share. The concept is 100% and I would for sure go back.

Orosoko is a unique space and a neighborhood gem! The service is always top-tier. The food presentation, flavor combinations, and options are great. The drinks are fantastic and well-crafted. It is acoustically immersive with a chic vibe. Perfect for dates and small groups. Wah at reception and Nick who manages were super friendly and welcoming! I can't wait to go back!

The food was SO good! Service was quick. Our waitress was great!. We only waited about 5 minutes before everything started to come out. We ordered the corn fritters, empanaditas, the Cuban scallops, and crab spring rolls. The ambiance was very nice and it was very clean.

The ambiance was definitely cool and sultry. However, our experience did not meet expectations. I would have loved some real recommendations from our server but she seemed to be too busy. My guest and I each had a drink and split the blue crab burrito and left. There was nothing exceptional about anything we tried.
