Great wine bar and restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing - small sharing plates of Asian influenced tapas. We ordered chicken bang bang, scallops, pork belly, duck leg and dumplings. I can’t pick a favourite, everything was spot on. And the sommelier was so helpful in choosing the right wines. Full transparency, we also ordered the bread and butter pudding. This may have been our favourite.
Unreal experience and I’m definitely fussy! We were warmly welcomed on arrival after confirming it was our first visit with them, which was very refreshing. Service was very attentive as well. I was quite chilly for a bit, not sure if it was aircon or what so could have been slightly warmer for me. Decor was lovely and playlist was good. The bang bang chicken was lovely. The potatoes weren’t as crushed as I expected and I think I was hoping for more masala sauce but otherwise were wonderful. The monk fish was incredible as was the hispi cabbage. The duck, especially the bacon & veg, was so tasty. Honestly, all the dishes were just some flavourful, it was amazing. The sticky toffee pudding itself was nice, not quite to the level of the main dinner dishes for me (and that’s from a baker/person was a very sweet tooth!). Prosecco was very nice as was the cocktail that had raspberry, lychee, and gin in it. Highly recommend and will definitely be retuning!!
Absolutely stunning. Food was out of this world. Every dish nicer than the one before. Will definitely be back!
MAGNIFICENT DINING! Food was incredible. All offerings were affordable and lovely. Hit the spot and made me smile like a Cheshire Cat. Wine selection by the glass was vast. Service was a little slow but it was Saturday night and they sat us 6 mins late to our table but who cares.
Second time in a week it's that good. Food is amazing and the staff were so attentive, a girl called Anna was serving us and she was very friendly and accommodating. The small plates were all incredible, stuffing fritters were a favourite and the steak. Perfect place for a date night.
We visited Ora recently without a booking and with a very new baby in tow & the guys couldn’t have been nicer. They went out of their way to accommodate us & we felt so welcome. On top of that, the food & wine were delicious. Those goats cheese Bon bons .. wow. Such a great meal in every way - we will definitely be back.
Fantastic place, nice atmosphere, friendly enthusiastic staff, small plates tapas style. Really delicious food and good choice of dishes. The BBQ chicken, cod fritters, cheese board, creme brulee, mussels and scampi were all extremely tasty - great flavours beautifully seasoned and delivered at a good rate - will be back - highly recommend
Amazing place to go! The vibes are heeeeerree. Food was excellent. The wine is very well selected. Highly recommend this restaurant
