    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.

    Food was great but getting the food to the table was slow so if you are not in a rush not a problem.

    The food was excellent as it was fresh and not out of a box. A rewarding experience for pub food, and Halifax, others should take note. Service was great considering the crowd that was there and the time of day and keeping up with the events that were going on downtown that evening. Kudos to the team

    We were 10 minutes after our reservation time - our table was occupied causing all kinds of confusion. When I expressed my displeasure I was chided by the shift manager and told to settle down and lectures they had a 15 min grace period - we arrived only ten minutes late and the folks at our table had already received their drinks so they gave the table away before our reservation. He refused to take responsibly for the error and instead blamed us - a simple apology and best efforts to fix the error was all we needed to hear not a stern lecture from those who erred.
