| - Oro is simply overpriced. We went to Oro because we had a groupon and wanted to try it out; it was disappointing. While the ambiance is romantic and cozy, the entrees had seemingly ordinary ingredients and were yet expensive. For an appetizer, a plain arugula salad was $14.95. It came with preserved mushroom, marinated artichokes, caper berries, roasted garlic, Grana Padano and a sherry vinaigrette. It was just fine, nothing special. I could have made this at home:)
For the main course, I ordered Venison Loin and it was okay. Once again, nothing unique or flavorful...$36.
The wait staff was helpful.
Overall, as a Torontonian, I would say, Toronto has amazing high end restaurants with a great choice of entrees if you are willing to spend that much- For example, try Jump.
