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.

The location is pretty far from Cork center, which makes it hard to reach without a car, but Uber does serve that area with a bit of a wait. We were there around 5PM, so the dining room was pretty empty and we had to wait a little while for the check as the staff was organising everything for the start of dinner service.

You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you or you can get the food to-go! There were also a lot of people going in and out for deliveries, which is a good sign, I thought, as there are a lot of people eating there, and that means that the food must be very good. I ordered an halloumi wrap and sweet potato chips (fries). I was disappointed with the chips (fries) but the wrap and coffee were pretty good. I would love to go back to try out something different

That wasn't the shocking think, the poor quality & the amount of food were simply disastrous. It could barely feed a child, while the delivery was meant to feed 3 young men. I was extremely embarrassed by this, even if you could overlook the humble quality, the amount of food for price would render you speechless!! I felt like being fooled :-(

One falafel cost 0.50 euros! I probably should have waited before popping the entire piece in my mouth but eh. I couldn't resist. The outside was so crisp and the inside was so soft. It wasn't dry and I'm honestly not sure about the taste because it was so hot and nearly burned my mouth. The staff were so nice! Tip - if you want something off the menu, ask!

I wasn't in awe of the hummus on the falafel but still the greens that were used were very good. Forgot to get sauce on the falafel which probably detracted from the eating experience.

Falafel sometimes.
