Orso Pub & Grill

Don’t order takeout chowder. Very small portion for $18 a bowl. Not worth it. Soup was ok but def flour in base… only a few pieces of seafood and it’s like we got a ladle and a half of soup per bowl, just an inch and a half of soup in big takeout bowl… so imagine $80 for three bowls of soup with a tiny half piece of garlic bread.Complained via Uber eats but no answer. Spinach salad was really good. Only reason to give above one star.

Chicken Alfredo fettuccine - term "al dente" meaning you suppose to feel a bit between your teeth. This one was raw, sauce was good but chef was in a hurry to serve the dish...I will not come back here! Update: After 25 min i throw up everything, chicken meat was wrong also. Honestly, whats wrong with you to serve bad food??????

We had a great experience at Orso! The nachos were the best we've ever had and we polished them off in no time. We both ordered the Orso Burger and couldn't stop talking about how amazing it tasted. Their homemade BBQ sauce is to die for. Fries were excellent and crispy. The service was 10/10 as well! I didn't get our server's name, but she checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we were ok, but she wasn't overbearing. We will definitely be back, as this was an amazing first experience!

Unfortunately, we didn't have the best experience here tonight as food wasn't what we expected. Chicken on the Greek Salad was cold, dry, smelly and definitely was leftover from lunch or last night dinner. I assume if you order either side salad or 10oz Steak at any restaurant, you'd deserve a fresh food specially if they charge you 5 bucks on a $8 side salad. Shrimps on Pasta were a bit smelly not like other fresh shrimps we've had so far in Halifax. Also, the Pasta sauce was too much that penne pieces needed to be found in the sauce pool. The waitress was nice though

Ordered bacon cheeseburger. It was bland but we'll cooked, nice and hot. The fries were great though. I didn't feel I got my money's worth +$30 for those two items including taxes and tip . Kitchen was really slow as it took over half an hour to get our food. It was loud and the music was also loud and geared to the clubbing crowd. thumping music between 5:30 and 7 is not great for atmosphere. I won't recommend it but I wouldn't turn anyone away who wanted to try it. Bathroom was nice and clean. Our waitress was excellent.

My wife and I stumbled upon this pub while out for a walk and decided to so in. We both ordered a tall ship ale and a spinach salad from the sweet, university age server. She brought our drinks and our salad shortly after. The pub has a great atmosphere with a "bear" theme. The salad presentation was great as was the taste. Washed down with a great ale, this was a nice lunch. When we are on the city again, my wife and I would like to visit Orso again. {I hope we have the same, wonderful server.}

I had the Orso burger. The home-made BBQ sauce was good but the burger patty was disgusting. It was rubbery, hard, and tasted like some second rate frozen grocery store burger patty form the freezer section. I was with a group for lunch so I didn't want to complain. For a pub this should be a safe choice and not worth the $18 price at all. Very disappointed with the food. Atmosphere and staff nice.

Food is good quesadillas are yummy. Easy to eat and just pop right into the Metro Center. Servers and host were awesome. The host actually told my husband that they were full. As we were leaving he came running after us to tell us that a table just opened up. Over and above! Thanks!

An amazing pub in downtown Halifax. The calamari was excellent as was the steak sandwich and the club. The food is awesome, but I feel the portions are a little bit small. E would definitely go again, thoughFood: 4/5

Fantastic food! Large portions, so you’ll leave with left overs! Love the food and the service. Best mussels I’ve had in a long time! The Gaucamole stuffed onion rings are delicious. Never had them before but will again for sure. Had a great time food and beer were great and young waitress was fantastic made me laugh all night her name was Caroline. The pizza tasted amazing but overpriced for the size it’s a shame because if it was bigger I’d definitely order again.
