Experience was great and service was top notch. Many of the dishes on the east side lacked flair or flavor and were not hot. My favorite dish was the Hamachi on the east side. The DJ started around 7:ish and for such a small place the music was entirely too loud. Beating in your chest loud.

I really liked this place. The drinks, the atmosphere, the food was delicious. My only complaint is the small plate menu. I get that this is this restaurant's theme and menu, but if you are looking to eat in bigger volumes. This place is not it. Great date spot, maybe a great spot for a nightcap or getting a small bite to eat. But I would love to spend more time here enjoying their food, and I definitely did not get that with the small portion size.

Orosoko is a culinary gem that masterfully blends tradition and creativity. The menu showcases a thoughtful selection of dishes, each crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients and bold, balanced flavors. The ambiance is warm yet refined, creating a perfect backdrop for an intimate dinner or celebratory meal. Great things come in small restaurants.

We enjoyed our experience however the food wasn’t as good as I thought it could be. Our drinks were very good, however, and the service was wonderful.

Aesthetically pleasing atmosphere + high quality sounds = great vibes to enjoy a wonderful dining experience. The dishes were planned and executed well… depth of flavor was amazing! To top it off, the service was just as good… awesomely attentive and fast. Beyond the food, the drinks were done very well too! Worth the spend and definitely returning!!!

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.
