ORSO Pub & Grill

Had nachos, guacamole stuffed onion rings, club house and bacon cheese burger. Guacamole stuffed onion rings could have used more flavor as they were bland. Nachos were a bit skimpy on the cheese. Burger and club house were delicious! Service was excellent. Highly recommend they invest in windows shades as the sun is blinding when it's setting and is right in your face.

Tried the place after a Halifax Mooseheads game at the Scotiabank Centre next door. I had made a reservation but it fortunately was quite empty and we found a seat right away. I ordered a Spicy Chicken Burger with Spicy garlic potato as the sides while my friend had the Chicken Quesadillas. The burger was not the greatest I’ve had. The ‘spicy’ flavour was only limited to the sauce right in the middle, so the entire burger wasn’t spicy at all. I would liked maybe more sauce or maybe if the chicken would’ve been dipped in some hot sauce. The chicken itself was a bit oily so that might’ve helped. The garlic potatoes were average. My friend’s Quesadillas were average too and she said she has had better ones in Halifax. Bit unfortunate as I wanted to try this place for a long while but maybe in future we have a better experience. The service was good and the atmosphere is okay. Food definitely needs a lot of work.

Overall the food was amazing. Although we had reservations we waited 30 minutes to get served. I’m not sure if this was a staffing issue. But we advised the Waite staff we were ready multiple times. We then waited another twenty minutes for our bill after asking for it twice. But again the food was incredible.
