My husband and I went in not knowing what we would get and we had a lovely experience. From walking in, the staff was kind and attentive. We were greeted by chef Jeremy and sat by a hostess. Several servers checked on us and all the staff were aligned and could tell worked well together. The atmosphere is simple and open. The kitchen is right in front of you as you eat and you can see the chefs putting love into all of the dishes. We ordered the saki and it was tasty. they don't have cocktails but can put saki into a mocktail if you ask. The food was delicious! Such a fun experience trying everything. We ordered five dishes total and it was enough food for the two of us. The pretzel was an elevated classic pretzel and beer cheese. They flavors were unique and sophisticated. The hamachi was bright and flavorful. My husband who doesn't love raw fish really enjoyed it. The dumpling dish was my favorite, all the flavors you want in a good chili crisp dumpling dish. The red snapper was cooked really well and the cauliflower dish was incredible. They topped us off with a complimentary drink at the end to help digest. It was similar to a sweet vermouth. 10/10 experience. Will go back and try totally different dishes as their menu is ever changing. read more

I am blown away every single time I dine at Coro. I've done both routes -- selecting items from their main menu and going with the prix fixe menu. Either way, you will find every bite delectable. There are ingredients I've never heard of or tried before, and I typically don't know exactly what I'm ordering until it arrives at the table, but just know you won't be disappointed no matter what you choose. I recommend going with your partner or a small group -- the plates are shareable but you won't want to share with that many people with how delicious everything is. When you are seated, you're given a small glass of champagne and an amuse-bouche. Just a little something to whet your appetite. Our server is always friendly and kind, answering any questions we have. And the arrival of each item is perfectly timed. Every bite I've had at Coro is close-your-eyes-and-soak-it-in kind of good. I promise you'll love each dish, especially as they keep the items seasonal. Highly recommend making a reservation at Coro for your next date night! read more

We came across this restaurant and decided to make a reservation. Best decision we made. We were seated immediately with our table set up, they were very attentive and quirky. It doesn't feel like you're in Orlando which is a compliment. Every dish brought out was explained and each bite was divine. We appreciated the explanations and attentiveness to each dish. It was our first visit and we definitely plan to be back. Thank you Coro Our order: Sweet potato gnocchi Wagyu Half dozen oysters Aged beef Pork belly Crispy beech mushroom Buttermilk biscuit Apple brown butter Pain Perdue black sesame read more

Wow, what an elegant meal. The dishes are inventive and fresh with all the right textures. The ambiance was elevated casual without being stuffy. The sommelier helped us choose the right wines since a lot of their wines are rare and not the normal wines like Caymus that you see everywhere. The service was great, it seemed like everyone worked together well and were happy to share suggestions and seemed to enjoy their jobs. We will certainly be back. Every dish we had was 10/10 so I can't even pick a favorite. read more

Coro was an incredible dining experience. Every bite was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The food was creative, beautifully prepared, and left a lasting impression.

Coro Restaurant - Lamb chops - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. Made a reservation and my table was ready upon arrival. Coro is featured in the Michelin guide. Parking is available in the private lot or on nearby surface streets. Every interaction with the staff was phenomenal. 20% service charge was automatically added to the final bill. Started off with the amuse bouche which was a touch richer than I had expected. Perhaps a more Sputhern influence. The Brussels and leeks small plate looks and sounded great. I found the aioli to be too overpowering and the parmesan cheese made this small plate too rich. The char siu duck looked and sounded fantastic. The duck came out very tender and the flavors were Americanized to say the least. The Japanese rice was more of a style than authentic. The lap cheong sausage was an interesting spin. This was definitely the Western version of it. Ended off the meal with the apple and puff pastry dessert which may have been the highlight of the meal. The brown sugar ice cream was super fresh and fragrant Loved the puff pastry and the caramelized apple too! The last bit was a cornbread of some sort, solidifying my hypothesis that this was a Southern Contemporary restaurant. $100/head after tax and 20% mandatory service charge for dinner. read more

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had as of late. The restaurant is cozy and located right of off Corrine. The whole team is amazing. I love the "service by committee" approach. Everyone was so kind and I loved their enthusiasm behind their food and restaurant. Shout out to Johnathan! While this is tapas style, we had plenty of food. Each bite was delicious. I love the creativity and how they aren't afraid to try interesting combinations. I can't wait until my next visit and definitely in my top 3 Orlando restaurants. read more

Coro Restaurant - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Wow, wow, WOW! After dining at Coro in Audubon Park multiple times now, I can confidently say that this has to be in my top 3 favorite restaurants in Orlando. My husband & I have loved every single bite we've had here and it has quickly become our go-to for a date night. The menu changes up often based on the freshest, locally sourced produce & ingredients that are available. I've never experienced so many unique, creative dishes throughout one meal, every one of them being a hit and leaving us wanting more. I do like that the plates are small & shareable so that you can try so many different things. The entire menu always sounds phenomenal, so narrowing it down is tough, but I look to the staff to make some excellent recs and they never disappoint. This is the kind of place that makes me wish I had two stomachs just so I could try everything. Shoutout to Dora for always giving us the warmest welcome and fabulous suggestions. The open concept kitchen and their all-hands on deck approach to service and preparing the food & drinks is truly wonderful to witness. You'll experience several different staff members bringing dishes to your table, explaining them in detail, taking your orders, and just providing overall superior service. During our most recent visit, the menu was all new to us and we were excited to dive in. We tried the royal reds shrimp ceviche that was topped with slushy buttermilk ice... just incredible. The aged beef milk toast with foie gras, kelp gnocchi with lobster mushrooms & scallops, and the lamb ribs were also all bangers. One dish that I probably would not have ordered if it were not for Dora's glowing recommendation is the buttermilk biscuit. DO NOT sleep on the biscuit holy wow. It's topped with peaches and chicken skin butter (with actual crispy pieces of chicken skin). I'm not usually a biscuit fan, but this was heavenly! Be sure to save room for dessert, too -- get the coffee & potato dessert at least once, trust me. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. We are forever fans! read more

I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place for so long! It's hands down one of the best meals I've had in Orlando. The location is super unassuming in a strip mall and it's fairly small but it's an open kitchen and the service was amazing. Everyone we interacted with was super nice and made great recommendations. They expertly paired the food with the wines and every dish had an incredible balance of different flavors. We ordered all the food at once and it came out as it was ready, tapas style. Each dish was very different but they were perfectly sized so we could try many different things. They were very generous with their wine pours and gave us a complimentary soup to start and dessert with champagne to finish. I cannot wait to come back again as it seems their menu changes often and all the food was super fresh and very visually appealing. read more

Came here for the first time on Valentines Day! My husband and I were so impressed we were still talking about it a few days later about how much we enjoyed the meal. I really enjoyed the menu, which was separated into three categories (raw, warm, sweet). We ordered five dishes and dessert and it was more than enough for us. The restaurant itself was very simple and cozy and instead of just having one server it was actually team service. Overall, the experience kind of reminded me of the restaurants I've been to in London! read more

This is like a secret gem. It is in a strip mall off of Corrine. It is a locally owned restaurant and the owner is such a nice guy. It is not very big, so you would definitely want to make reservations. The food was wonderful. I went to an event there so it was small plates, but everything was delicious and I loved the presentation of the dishes we had. It is clean and good, but not fancy! read more

One of the best dinners I have had in such a long time! I am still thinking of the first small bite they offered and the stone crab dish. my fiance and I wanted to enjoy a fancy dinner as we are under 2 months from our wedding and the staff was so attentive, kind and accommodating evening offering us a complimentary glass of bubbles to celebrate. I loved the open kitchen and that each staff member including chefs went around talking to guests. read more

Reserved a table for three for a Saturday night. Was easy to make the reservation and found many slots available, less than a week in advance. Parking was easy- strip mall style. Our table was ready on arrival. It's a bit of a loud place, and the music is a bit too loud also, so mg one friend was having trouble hearing the host and the chefs the served us. There are no "servers" per se; they're all chefs. They got our drink order- heads up this is a beer and wine (and sake) place. No spirits, but some fortified wines etc. So we had beer and wine. They gave us a complimentary fermented potato naan dish- wow so good! I love that the menu is seasonal and they had an item on special! We ordered the pink shrimp which was ceviche style cured with mango granita and Uni on top. I don't think they described the shrimp with Uni, which I don't mind, but my friends avoided it. Oh well. Maybe we just could not hear them describe it. We had many dishes off the menu- the steak was delicious! It's about 2-2.5 ounces. The taleggio sauce was so good. That is one of my favorite cheeses. The fruit salad was a real winner! The pistachio gave it such a nice flavor. The clam spaghetti dish was not well thought out for sharing. The clams were under the noodles and the noodles were super long. The aged beef was their version of a tartare- my friends avoided the nori. The sushi rice underneath it was stellar. The tilefish was a hit among all of us. The sourdough bread was as well. Dessert was loved by my friends. I am not really a sweets person, but I had a bite of the love oil cake and the peaches dessert. Both were good. One chef brought me a sample of the orange fortified wine. It was super sweet like a dessert wine. My mom would love that. I declined. I'd rather have a dessert cocktail such as a chocolate martini or brandy alexander, but alas, no spirits. Dishes came out in reasonable time. Our chefs were around to keep our beer and wine glasses full. They even presented us with complimentary bite sized chocolate chip cookies with the tab. Why four stars? At least two fruit flies were bothering us during our entire visit. They said someone left the back door open but to me, it suggests the restaurant is not as clean as it should be. They're probably infesting some sticky place under the counter or some rotten fruit. It's just like those bar taps that never get cleaned/ they breed fruit flies. It's gross and it was annoying. Either way, the food is excellent. The idea and style is unique. The service is stellar. But the ambiance/ noise level/ and the bugs left a lot to be desired. I will be back, especially when the season changes, to see how the wine list and menu evolve with what's fresh and in season. Thank you! read more

This summer, we finally got to try Coro. It was an incredible experience and absolutely lived up to what everyone has been talking about for years. While the environment was a bit louder than we were expecting. The service and food were absolutely stellar. Coro rivals the likes of Elizabeth in Chicago and other upscale tasting menus that don't entirely revolve around seafood. (One of our biggest struggles is that almost all of the tasting menu offerings in central Florida revolve around seafood, which is nice but not something that you want all the time for the entire meal. There are people who just don't care for seafood at all and would prefer to have a variety of other proteins and vegetables.) The menu offered a few items from the raw menu, the warm menu, and the sweet menu. I also really enjoyed their mocktail, as I don't drink alcohol. It had cucumber and thai basil and was very refreshing! From the wrong menu, we tried the Florida sand pear, with pancetta, gorgonzola, and pecan, and we also tried the baby gem artichoke egg yolk with chicken skin. Both of these were phenomenal starters. Next we had to try the buttermilk biscuit, the crispy potatoes and the pastor chicken that included rock shrimp, fried rice and Yum Yum sauce. Both of these were the highlight of the evening, which is saying a lot because my husband grew up eating southern food. The chicken dish was inspired by Kobe steakhouse and was incredible for dessert. We had the chocolate pate sucree with hazelnut which was really good. I can't wait to bring my family here. They really haven't had a tasting menu experience before and I think Coro would be the perfect way to start them off as they're not huge seafood fans. Thank you so much to Coro and the team for raising the bar and delivering a unique tasting experience that many people will enjoy for years to come. read more

Absolutely incredible! The menu changes often based on what fresh ingredients are available which is awesome because each time we go back we would want to try new things. It's rare to order a lot of shared plates and enjoy every single one. The flavors were so rich and unique! It's a very intimate space with views right into the kitchen. The chefs themselves bring some of the dishes out and explain them. This spot is a gem! read more

We visited Coro on a Saturday evening. We had a reservation, and we're glad we did because it got busy! The service at this place was awesome. The kitchen staff serves the whole meal, and they're the best people to do it because they speak so passionately about the food and they know it so well. Walking into this place, I love the simple yet elegant decor and the open kitchen plan. It feels super welcoming, like I could show up in a cocktail dress or a tank top and they'd welcome me either way. We got 6 plates. The first was a citrus and stracciatella salad with castelvetrano olives. I fell in love with this dish, it was so light and refreshing and delicious. The next was a zuke cured hiramasa with a fresh tostada. This dish was flawless. The fish was delicious and flavorful, and the tostada was fresh, crispy, and well seasoned. Next we had a plate of a half dozen oysters; these fell a little flat for me. I felt the sauce that came in the oyster overpowered the oysters a little for my taste. It came with cherry tomatoes with fresh horseradish on top. Next, we got the spring onion fries. These were definitely the highlight of the night. They're unforgettable with the light crispy battering and delicious trout roe ranch. Absolute perfection. We also had the Florida fish which was really good. Last, we had the lamb, which was a little underwhelming after everything else. It would've been better if it came with more bearnais. For dessert, we got the strawberry-rhubarb, creme fraiche, and pistachio which was really nice! The meal ended with some free cookies. I will absolutely be back at Coro. I love that they have a rotating menu that takes advantage of the seasonal produce. My one comment is that I think it's a little overpriced. Locally sourced ingredients are expensive, and the 20% service charge is probably how they manage to let the chefs have so much freedom to serve the tables and talk to people, but I still felt like overall it was a little pricey. read more

It's been almost 2 months since I was at Coro and I cannot stop thinking about how fantastic it is. I don't know how often the menu changes, so what I had may not be available now. I'm going to sound like a pig, but I was with a friend and we wanted to try the most items possible. We ordered 7 items plus a dessert. The problem with waiting 2 months to write this review is I can't remember all of the dishes. Our server/chef was incredible. She was able to describe items we had questions about in a way that instantly made us order everything we asked about. She wasn't intrusive and didn't overly check on us; she was literally perfect. The restaurant itself is great, too; it looks nice and inviting and it was full but not loud. The kitchen is towards the front and it didn't seem noisy or chaotic like I imagine a restaurant kitchen. The food was absolutely delightful as well as incredibly delicious. One item I ordered on a whim, the spring onion fries, was surprisingly flavorful and we couldn't believe that it held its own against oysters, mussel toast, aged coulotte, and the Florida fish. (Really wish I could remember our other items right now.) Dessert was the dish with peaches; I could have probably had another one without sharing (and considered it). I truly loved everything about my Coro experience and highly recommend you try it. read more

Guys, when i tell you that you will not find a place like this, i mean it. You can really tell how much the chefs here put out through the creations that they create. Honestly, from the first time you walk in to when you leave. Each dish is made fresh every day. The menu continues to change DAILY and the quality consistently stays the same. You can taste their hearts and souls as they bless you with each meal. Let me tell you, i HATED lamb. Ive tried it a million times and yet the only place that surprises me was this place. They really know how to choose the finest and best quality meats here and was able to cook it to perfection so that you can barely taste the gamey-ness. I also loved their first and last bite concepts. You can taste the sweetness and ripeness of the avocado and pure honey from the honeycomb. My absolute favorite were the Canadian oysters. I am a sucker for them and when i tell you they know whats up, trust me! They paired it so so well with the shoyu datil green sauce.I AM OBSESSED! read more

This new restaurant in Audubon Park is "chef's kiss!" From the outside it looks kind of small, but when you walk in it has a decent sized dining space with an open kitchen. They designed the restaurant beautifully--it feels open yet intimate, sleek but still inviting. Service was impeccable. Everyone very friendly and attentive throughout the entire meal. My friend and I shared six small plates and a dessert, which was the perfect amount of food to share. I felt perfectly content at the end of the meal. For cold dishes we ordered the beets, Florida fish cold dish, and a melon/cucumber salad. For hot dishes we ordered the potato naan, spring onion fries, and coullote steak. The standouts for me included the melon salad Florida fish, onion fries, and the potato naan. The melon salad had a perfect hint of spice with the sweet mix of melons, cucumber, and stracciatella. The Florida fish cold fish was also delicious. The potato naan with that butter was phenomenal--savory, melt in your mouth perfection. The onion fries were also incredible. The coullote (steak) was also very tasty. Perfectly cooked, tender with a sweet potato and wilted greens. Although, I must admit that we wished we had ordered the fish special as recommended. To finish our meal we shared the peach, caramelized yogurt, and marcona almond dessert. It was an amazing blend of peach, yogurt ice cream, and this delicious savory and sweet nutty crumble. Every dish was beautifully crafted and perfectly curated. You could see and taste the artistry put into every dish. I also appreciate the fact that they use local ingredients from Florida farms and will continue to have an ever-evolving menu. I'm excited to return and try some more. I expect them to easily get a Bib Gourmand. Bravo! read more

Very impressed with everything at Coro: chef has great pedigree (ex-Prato/Lukes), the location is convenient and easy to park at, and the food is outstanding. Came for a special menu that allowed sampling, and favorites were the naan bread, snapper app, and beets appetizer. Food is artfully composed and presented, and worthy of mention in the next Michelin guide. Service is unique in that the chefs are servers (makes sense for a small restaurant really), and the check is easy to pay by scanning a barcode. Love this place. Only suggestion: the 20% service is already included, so it's a little confusing to have the option the add 15/18/20% when paying using the online/app (yes, additional gratuity is welcome, but it shouldn't have 15-20% options - maybe 5%? The 20% already added is fair). read more

One of the best meals I've had in recent memory, can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! Everything was thoughtfully prepared, presented and explained by the chefs, and delicious. The interior is well designed and modern, without being over the top. Everything feels in its place and everything has a purpose. I also love that the kitchen is open so you can see the dishes being prepared in real time. The service was exceptional, everyone was kind and attentive, with the chefs taking the time to break down the ingredients and thought behind each dish. The menu is made up of small plates ordered a la carte, with 2-3 dishes recommended per person to be shared. We found this to be accurate, finding 6 dishes to be the perfect amount for two people. The coffee/potato dessert was unforgettable, inspired by dipping fries in a frosty. The coulette course was delicious, and the curry in the shrimp dish was packed with flavor. The raw wagyu starter is also a must. Highly recommend checking out Coro, the menu is updated daily so always something new to try! read more

I was a single walk in. They were able to accommodate very quickly. You know it is gonna be good, when they start you off with a complimentary champagne and starter bite tk get your palate going. Great concept of cooks do the serving too. Everyone felt vested into the restaurant. I did the oysters and braised beef ribs. Amazing. Small plates packed with flavor. Only complaint is it was quite loud. Small space and wasn't completely full, but was very loud. Other than that. Everything was fantastic. read more

This is an upscale culinary experience. A very smart chef that knows how to play with salts, seafood, fruits and vegetables to create a great experience. Shrimps with pork was a creation "risk" due to all the flavors in the same plate...however the chef got an excellent results combining the magic of coconut flavor in a great sauce The duck egg.. a must try. The service is very personalized, they take the time to walk you through each creation they bring to the table. It's pricey .. it's good and have a great service. read more

Writing this as a solo diner on a Friday eve: I had such a lovely time at Coro! As a single for the night, I was fine to sit at the bar, which is only four seats. The staff - working truly as a team - made me feel cared for without being obtrusive. So warm, knowledgeable (without being braggy about it), and talented. I wanted for nothing. Let's talk about the food: the FL sand pear salad was something I will think about for a long time. Just incredible. The kelp gnocchi with lobster was delicious. And the chocolate dessert (I went all in) was a perfect capstone. I made an impromptu decision to make a reservation and am patting myself on the back for being such a smartypants. read more

On our discerning 100-point scale, Coro is a solid 95. That means it's in our local top three as of this writing. We welcome Coro to the 'hood - it's so great to have a hip cool shining new bright spot in the Mills/East End Market district. We can't remember the last time we enjoyed a new restaurant so thoroughly. First the food (of course). Wow gets assigned to the under-described fresh and amazing Florida fish starter. It's a tartar, it's a ceviche, it's so uniquely delicious, just order it without hesitation. The warm naan with chicken fat butter - could be a food lover's death-row last-dish wish. If you don't like the description, suck it up buttercup. Don't be fool - this is a quiet super dish. Just order it. You are welcome. Duck egg, mushroom, spinach & yuzu - another tasteSplosion of wonderfulness. Again, just order it. Staff is super friendly & upbeat with warmth & genuine smiles all around. You feel like you are being taken care of by friends. My only regret is that it will be hard to get a good reservation once the word gets out. read more
