I'm sure many reviews of this nature have begun with "I don't normally do this sort of thing", but as a lifer in the hospitality industry you can rest assured that it's against my moral fiber to do this sort of thing. Having said that, I slept on it, and we felt so wronged by your restaurant yesterday I deemed it appropriate to leave some feedback on our experience this morning. That statement alone might help you understand the magnitude of how poor our experience was yester...Continue Reading

I am not always an easy person to please because when I ask for things I'm generally very specific with what I want. I am paying for what I want not what somebody else wants. If an ingredient is supposed to be in the item I order and if that happens to be my favorite ingredient, it's very difficult to not say the dish was lousy if it wasn't included. The dish was good but not great. Where was the blue cheese in the panzanella salad? Also, my first very particular martini was commonplace. I said I'd drink the one that was ser... read more

We have eaten at Orso many times and always love it. Always excellent food, service and ambiance. Last night we ate there for Valentine's dinner, and it was the best so far, from the rose petals on the tables, to our wonderful server (Shawna, I believe), all the way to the huge laugh we had over the gigantic piece of cake for dessert . And best of all, when I asked about vegan options, I was amazed at how accommodating our server was and at the quality of meal I received (seared tofu on kale--delicious!).

My experience at Orso's this evening was not a pleasant one. We chose this venue for its atmosphere, fine food and great service. Tonight, we got the atmosphere and nothing more. Our server was off serving others all night, he was not present at our table much. He also displayed an attitude I did not appreciate. The food? I ordered the shrimp and scallop scampi. I rec'd 6 shrimp, 3 small scallops, 2 artichoke hearts, 6 tomatoes and the rest of my bowl was soggy bread bites. I would have been happier cooking this at home. Hig... read more
