We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. I had the espresso martini. This was not your typical espresso martini it was so good and very very strong. For dinner I ordered the Guinness pie and my Friend got the seafood pie. Both were delicious but the Guinness pie was exceptional. I love to share food but did not want to share this. I wanted to savor every bite. O ate the entire pie and its was huge but so good. Couldn't pass up sticky toffee pudding and my goodness am o glad I somehow managed to find the room. One of the best desserts I've ever had so good I could've shed a tear. Can't wait to visit again.

Had another visit today 23/02/2026 for dinner, ordered two appetizers and one dessert…read more The chicken liver pate was nice, rich and creamy liver flavor went well with the crispy fry bread and sour pickles. Small pork pie's pastry had some slightly overburnt and had spots, but it was crispy overall. The filling was seasoned nicely, but could use a bit more gravy or juice. The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.

Visited for two consecutive nights 18/02 and 19/02 2026. The first night I had two appetizers,…read moreAtlantic prawn and crab sandwich, and a dessert of Ferrero Roche cheese cake. The second night I had an appetizer of seafood chowder and the John Dory fish. The cheese cake was unique, , very satisfying taste of cocoa, and the crunchy and gritty texture really felt like Ferrero Roche. For the other dishes I found something interesting. The prawns and crab sandwiches tasted standard, but the oily sauce (prawns) and the sweet and sour puree (crab sandwiches) had exquisite flavor that made one want to finish them all with a piece of bread (which I did). On the other hand, the John Dory was nicely done, texture spot-on, juicy and savoy flavor, but the white sauce looked broken and watery, and the taste was a bit on the bland side. In general I enjoyed my experience, but I wonder if they could match the quality of the sauce and the main ingredients better :)

This was by far the best fish and chips I've had during our Ireland stay…read more We selected the Hake and the Haddock; everything was moist and crispy. There was a perfect balance of FRESH fish to breading-nothing was oily. They provided a hearty portion of chips, with a side of mushed peas (which were amazing-you can tell they actually mushed fresh peas). The waitress was sort of a dick though-and I mean jerk! We wanted vinegar on the side, which was advertised and she gave me one small container. When I asked for more she made a rude comment, 'that should be enough' then sighed when she had to go get more. (NOTE: they will deliver to the pub across the street if you order a beer at the pub-per person. This was advantageous so you can settle in under the heat lamps and enjoy your meal without really having to take it to go. The bar was fantastic, great place to sit and people watch outside :) )

We arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation, and were lucky to be able to get seats at the bar,…read morewhere we were happy to stay so we could eat early. Cork is a place you DEFINITELY need reservations for dinner - it's very busy, and popular restaurants like Orso do fill up very quickly. It was bustling even at 6:30PM, and was great to see a busy and thriving restaurant. The food and service was phenomenal, so good that we chose to dine at their sister restaurants across the rest of our visit to Cork. Highly recommended.

Walking into Orso, we were greated by our wonderful server Gabriella. She has a most friendly and…read moreinviting smile and she was very helpful. Though she was literally the only server for the entire restaurant this evening, she never made us feel rushed and was always patient with every group that came. This is a relatively small space with only about 6 tables inside. There was a large group sitting outside, they probably put together 2 or 3 tables. It's a relaxed place with some beautifully framed artwork on the wall. The menu provides a wonderful selection of Middle Eastern food. We didn't choose any drinks other than the water that was offered. My wife and I shared the Grilled Halloumi salad to start. The salad was delicious and the halloumi was superb. For the entree we both chose the fish of the day, a grilled sea bream with some sort of slaw. The fish was fantastic, prepared perfectly. It had wonderful flavors in addition to the excellent taste and texture of the fish. We ordered a side of sweet pea hummus with pita, which was absolutely delicious. We succumbed to ordering dessert because they too sounded so good. What made them totally special was that birth the Pear Tartin and Mahalabia were flavorful, not too sweet, and we didn't feel stuffed after enjoying them to complete our meal. The fresh mint tea that accompanied dessert was delicious.

I ordered the South Wind cocktail which had amazing notes of apricot and grape but packed a boozy punch. I only wish I had more time to come back and visit again to grab some tacos and small other bites (I heard from some locals that if they are craving tacos in Cork, they go to Paladar). The variety of cocktails, amazing ambiance, and hospitable service put this in my "favorites" of all the bars I went to in Ireland. Definitely pay them a visit!

Twice, we had to ask other wait staff for assistance and both times they were very attentive. The "southern fried Chicken Wings" tasted warmed up and flavorless. My wife ordered a medium filet that showed up well past done. The presentation was bush league and we sent it back. The second pass was slightly better; edible. I ordered the lamb. The lamb was cooked perfectly; though under seasoned. I probably would have had no problem with the lamb had the other issues I mentioned been absent. To sum it up, the reputation this restaurant has, was absolutely not our experience.

The ambiance is definitely more upscale and service from staff was quite good. For my entreé I had the duck confit with a local cider. The duck was tender and had a good flavor to it. We had a sticky toffee pudding for dessert, and while it was very good, having it accompanied with creme instead of ice cream was a bit disappointing, as the pudding itself was quite rich. All and all, it was a great experience at a good price, and I'd recommend it.

Truly enjoyed the generically named "Beef" dish which was like pot roast slow cooked and fall apart on your fork served with potatoes and carrots We also got the English market chicken supreme which was lovely and we shared a Goat cheese, beet root and apple appetizer which was fresh and tasty can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this meal.
