| Sporting salmon-colored banquettes, sophisticated lighting and dark wood details, Oro gleams with a restrained luster, to which the adjacent bar---under-lit onyx counter and all---serves as a suitable introduction. The kitchen has endured its ups and downs, but offerings such as a proper ceviche with mango and an unexpectedly good chorizo corn dog with jícama slaw offer hope of a renaissance. Broccoli and guajillo chile soup is way better than it sounds, and the flame-grilled Angus burger remains a dependable staple. But Shiner Bock-braised short ribs needed more time on the back burner for us, suggesting there’s still room for improvement. Loss-leader martinis at select times make up for much, however. Canine and feline companions will appreciate the special pets’ menu, which is always available. |
