ORIS Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Hollywood

I bought tickets to see Joe Vera’s las Saturday. I was told to purchase tickets and make a reservation for a table and get there by 10pm. I did both. I arrived and was brought a menu to order food. I told the waiter my boyfriend and I wanted something very light to eat and we just wanted to order drinks bc we were there for the concert. He said he would take care of it and said the chef was going to prepare something light and small. He started bringing us small plates and by the third one we said to please stop and we had enough food already. They just said there are 3 more and even though we said no they kept in bringing food. There were 5 plates plus desert which we did not eat. Or the last 2 dishes. The waiter who was very nice at first started to change. We asked for the bill and it was $300. We were kind of upset but we paid and asked to just wait for joe Veras. At this point they told us we needed to sit by the bar standing or pay $500 to $800 for a table plus drinks. We were very upset and spoke to the owner who finally allowed us to stay were we were sitting and gave us a wine bottle. The waiters and waitresses came every 5 minutes to yell and say we were not supposed to be sitting without paying the expensive reservation even thought we had tickets. They started to force us to buy battles. They had DJ music playing mostly regeton from 10pm to almost 3am when finally joe Veras came out to sing. They were expecting us to spend all this money when most of the restaurant was empty and a lot of the guest where employees and friends of employees who freely went to the vip section without all those requirements that we were imposed. The waitresses were mean and rude and we felt like that place is just money hungry and do not care about the customer. We didn’t finish the concert bc we were so tired by 4:30am. It was a Friday and we had work that day. It turned into a $500 night for 2 people with tiny little plates of food and lots of waiting and harassment from employees. The food and the place were good but not worth the employees lying about prices and being so rude. I will never go back. Please try Areito in Hollywood Blvd. you hear live music, great food, great prices and they are always full. Not trying to get rich in one night from a few customers. Great environment and no...

One day in Miami and I came to this place, it was 25-30min from where I’m staying yet absolutely worthy! It was a quite taco Tuesday watching the final world baseball classic, the food was amazing, the drinks amazing (shot out to the bartender, we had a great conversation), as soon as you get in, everybody greets you really nice; I believe one of the owners was there too and was really nice as well, the place is well set up, the decor is really cute, the bathrooms are clean, I can keep going… PLUS someone came for pick up and it wasn’t right and u could tell they made EVERYTHING possible to make that customer happy and great great customer service (I saw everything and the customer didn’t know what they want, so ut was not their fault)… but seriously, I don’t have ONE COMPLAINT about this place… we are so quick to give bad reviews but we should do the same with the good ones… I HAD A GREAT TIME HERE and would definitely recommend to other people and visit their locations in NYC whenever I’m there 👏👏👏 thanks to the crew that made my only night in Miami nice and smooth ☺️☺️☺️ always supporting my people (and mind you, I’m veeeeery picky)...

Terrible place. I dreamed of visiting this restaurant watching all their photos and videos. But... The restaurant was empty and the music inside was SOOO loud... my ears couldn't suffer it, and it was impossible to have some conversation, and my daughter and I preferred seats outside . Did you see the "view " outside? There is a parking lot full of cars , rain and puddles everywhere. Not oceanview:) So, our choice was to lose the hearing inside or to be wet outside. We decided to leave and never come back. Bye-bye, my unrealized dream. I won't come back even I ll have earplugs...
