10/10We eat regularly at either Oriole or Bridges restaurant. After a great dinner we drove away from the Grand Hotel. Then after 200 yards the doorman knocked on my window and out of breath handed me my phone. This is extraordinary service. The staff is very special and makes that you go back with a warm feeling. Wonderful food and wonderful people.

10/10Great ambience. Attentive and courteous waiting staff. Complex flavours in all the dishes. The seabream main course with its crispy skin, was especially delightful. The chef's set menu was very reasonably priced for what was on offer, but the wine bottle options were a bit steeper. Overall excellent experience.
Oriole Garden Bistro • Owner
Dear Mr. Corso, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. It is a pleasure to read you have enjoyed the seabream main course. I will make sure to share your compliments with the kitchen team. We hope to welcome you again in our restaurant. Kind regards, Team Oriole

4.5/10
With high expectation for a Michelin restaurant, only to find that the waiter and I were talking past each other. My English might not be that good, but this was still the worst communication experience I’ve ever got. I knew the waiter had tried his best, so did I, which made me feel even more upsetting. As for the food, both I and my friend thought it’s not worth the price, that’s it. The three courses dinner has a good starter, good dessert, but the main dish is just ordinary. The cocktails were good there, but still couldn’t save the awful experience.

My fish was raw. I was very disappointed.

My husband and I visited here for his 50th birthday and we were not disappointed. Everything was outstanding, from the espresso martinis, to the setting, to the food. Special mentions to Luca, Florine, Anwar and Andrew for making such a special occasion even more special

5.5/10Unfortunately we found our experience at Oriole a bit disappointing. One person in our party is vegetarian, but we were surprised to find that the chef's menu had no vegetarian option (!). There was also no substantive vegetarian main meal, just a combination of vegetable sides, so not a great experience as a vegetarian. Of the food we did have, it was a bit mixed: some very good dishes, some underwhelming, and one poor. For the high price, we would have expected a much more gastronomic experience. The service was very friendly, although the wait times were fairly long at times.
Oriole Garden Bistro • Owner
Dear Ms. Jakubowska, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience at Oriole did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the vegetarian options. We also appreciate your comments about the quality of the dishes and the wait times. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly take it into account as we strive to improve and offer a more consistent and exceptional dining experience. Thank you for your kind words about our service. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide a dining experience that better meets your expectations. Kind regards, Team Oriole

9/10Great ambience and service though food is on the expensive side considering very small portions and average taste.

7.5/10We did not enjoy the ambiance of the inside dining room. I had requested the garden seating but the weather did not cooperate. They did have a small atrium for seating. But we were seated in a tight booth in a dark interior room. This was very crowded and noisy. The customers at two tops were even more compact. Service and food was very good. I do not recommend dining here unless weather permits outside (or atrium) seating.

5.5/10Nice setting. Service disinterested, served wine and beer at different times, took 20 mins for our first drink to arrive. Sorry to say but the food was bland and a bit boring. Also 11 euros for cheesy chips is criminal. Oysters were good

7.5/10Amazing space and ambiance. The cook for all dishes was excellent BUT the flavours were very conservative. For a Bib Gourmond restaurant I would expect bolder flavours. The veal and rhubarb dessert were the best choices. I would come here for the ambiance, cocktails and appetizers but they need to up their standards for the flavour profiles of the main course to justify the spend and have me return.

6.5/10Location is amazing. Service is nothing special, not too fast, not too slow but on the slower side. The food in my opinion isn't worth the money that are payed for it. Work on improving the quantity of food and the quality of dishes. The main course was pathetic. The rest was OK.
