    I have eaten at this restaurant numerous times. This was the second time for me ordering the portobello mushroom burger. The first time it was absolutely delicious. However, this time it was very rubbery and too tough to chew. Would not recommend that based on this experience also the the lemon potatoes were extremely salty to the point I couldn’t finish them

    It's too bad zero stars was not an option. The food value was weak and the service worse, we he a eaten here many times and it he s gotten progressively worse. Waiting 20 minutes for a beer seemed excessive . I would not recommend this venue to anyone Mike

    Food was very good. We booked a reservation prior to a Scotiabank Centre event. Orso was very busy. Food took a little longer than ideal but this is expected. Amazing location for our needs.

    Great customer service as always. Food was delicious, plentiful and great value for the cost which I've become accustomed too at Orso. My go to place for a meal prior to attending the Mooseheads games.

    Food and drinks were both of a high quality and the service was great as well. We have walked by Orso countless times on our visits to Halifax and never gone inside since it usually looks so desolate, unless there is an event at the arena across the street and the seats outside and inside, along the windows are occupied. Once inside, we realized that there is a large dining room that is not visible from the road and it was actually quite busy that night. We're glad we finally tried Orso after all of these years and we will be back on future visits.
