Owner of Orosoko here. Had a large party birthday dinner last night and everyone enjoyed themselves. Great food (the empanadas were stellar!) and the servers and hostesses did an excellent job on a very busy night. The live music was a great touch. Glad we’re neighbors!

This restaurant was phenomenal, probably the best restaurant I’ve been to in Charlotte in years. Food and service were amazing. Menu was amazing. The halibut large plate dish and the octopus small plate are both dishes that I will be thinking about and craving for the rest of my life. The holiday themed cocktail menu were so balanced and overall served beautifully. Highly highly recommend and will most definitely be back!

First time dining and it's immediately one of my favorite places in Charlotte! Great ambiance and design, loved the menu theme and commitment to Mediterranean, all the food was delicious, especially the Whipped Ricotta, Roasted Mushrooms, and Halibut with Scallops (Market Fish), and the wine list was very well put together - after a cocktail we loved the Assyrtiko white wine from Santorini. Service absolutely top notch too, really guided us along the menu categories and made it a special meal, bravo!

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.
