Oro Restaurant And Bar

The food was ok, too much pepper on the steak too the point it was all you could taste. Braised short rib was amazing though. The server was a bit of a turn-off, very strange attitude. Be careful if they are also serving for a large group in the hotel library as you become second rate citizens in the restaurant area. Would try again to see if any better.

We're staying at the Emily Morgan hotel, so we've been here a few times now. Breakfast buffet serves its purpose. Nothing special but edible and filling. Dinner, though, is another story. Dinner was soooo good. We got everything from salads to sammiches to short ribs and it was all good. The drinks were great and cookie skillet was perfect for sharing! Server wasn't so sure about us at first, but she figured us out pretty quickly. (Large group of heavy drinkers--we're fun and responsible, not annoying and obnoxious.) She got answers to questions she didn't know instead of pretending to have the answers then leaving us disappointed. My only complaint about this restaurant is the lighting. Why so dark? Some pin spot lighting would go a long way. I'm always leary of hotel restaurants bc I find them over priced and disappointing quality, but I would definitely recommend checking out this historic property and grabbing dinner here after your Alamo visit.

The food from the restaurant was pretty good. I had ordered the brillia tacos and chicken tortilla soup for take out a few days ago and the bartender was super friendly and humorous while I waited in the lobby. We also had ordered room service breakfast from the restaurant before we checked out and the food was amazing (and sugary). I ordered the banana foster waffle which was rich in the syrup and pecans. It would be nice if Oro had served sit down breakfast in addition to the buffet because my boyfriend and I would've preferred to order our waffles downstairs and eat at a table than to eat in our room.

First time here for dinner last night and Restaurant Week. Not too many people for a Saturday. I was very happy with my choices - fried Oaxaca cheese, grilled Texas quail and forest fruit cake. My husband had the grouper and the portion was a bit small. Slightly overcooked. Sister in law had the short ribs and she seemed to enjoy. I did think it was a bit dry.
