Oro Restaurant and Bar

After checking into the hotel, we stopped for dinner in the hotel restaurant. We were one of two parties there when we arrived, and we opted to sit at a table rather than the bar. Maybe mistake 1. We weren't sure if we were even supposed to be in the table after a while because no one greeted us or brought us menus for an uncomfortably long time. When she did arrive, our server was friendly... when she was around. She would disappear for really long chunks of time, to the point we weren't sure that she went on break. We ordered our drinks, but unfortunately before the bartender got a chance to make them, some friends of hers came in and sat down at the bar. She immediately started to help them, and then eventually, after they had chatted, caught up, discussed which cocktails they wanted, she made them and they had a chance to sip them for a bit did she decide to finally make ours - which we had ordered before they sat down. Our food came and it was wrong, but my friend didn't even bother to speak up about it because the server took so long to do anything that it didn't seem worth it.In fairness, the food and drinks were actually good. I had the Yellow Rose Martini (since we were in the Emily Morgan, after all), and it was very good, even better than I had expected. I also had the Caesar salad, which had a unique ancho Caesar dressing that was really good, as well as sun dried tomatoes on the salad. It was one of the better Caesars I've had in my time. My friend had a chicken BLT, which came on a really thick brioche roll instead of toast, but other than having the wrong side, she seemed to enjoy it. We both agreed the food was good, but the service made us not ever want to come back.

We stay regularly at the Emily Morgan Hotel and the Oro is their in house restaurant. Food is pretty good and the service has always been friendly.

Mollie is the most amazing bartender. We were here 7 months ago and she remembered us! Her Old Fashions are spot on. The is a classic old hotel with a perfect Texas vibe. We can't speak of the food but I'll say this....Mollie, old fashioned and the UT/Georgia game. 100%

Staying at the Emily Morgan and while I don't typically eat at the hotel restaurants I decided to give this place a shot and I'm glad I did. Came to sit at the bar and glad I did. The service was very attentive from the beginning. Cesia was amazing the entire time.Very respectful and always checking to make sure you are good. And also has a great sense of humor. Ordered a chicken sandwich and Brussels sprouts as a appetizer.Also order a drink to relax a bit. Everything had tons of flavor and cooked to perfection. The place was nice and very relaxing.If you are this place please stop in and show support for sure.

Great happy hour and a great bartender. Half price apps and all day happy hour on thursdays.

Bar was passable if expensive. Typical hotel bar layout. I tried breakfast and it was inedible. I paid 20 for a bite of staaaaale danish and a few pieces of fruit. You'd get a better breakfast at McDonald's.The hotel and restaurant are soaked in some kind of perfume - maybe to cover up the moldy smell. It's not good if you have any kind of breathing issues.

A Delightful Breakfast at Oro in The Emily Morgan HotelDuring my recent stay at The Emily Morgan Hotel, I had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Oro Restaurant, and it was a truly delightful experience. Seated with a picturesque view of The Alamo, I found the ambiance both serene and inspiring, providing a perfect start to my day.The hearty Texas buffet was impressive, featuring a variety of fresh and flavorful options. As someone who is particular about my eggs, I was thrilled that they were prepared to perfection, exactly to my liking. The made-to-order service showcased the kitchen's attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction.A highlight of my visit was the warm interaction with Kelli, the restaurant supervisor. Her extensive knowledge about San Antonio and genuine enthusiasm made our conversation both enjoyable and informative. Kelli's graciousness and dedication to her role significantly enhanced my dining experience, reflecting the high standards of hospitality that The Emily Morgan Hotel upholds.The morning playlist added a pleasant touch to the atmosphere, creating a relaxing environment that complemented the delicious meal. As an early riser, I appreciated the prompt and attentive service, ensuring that everything was in place for a seamless breakfast.I wholeheartedly recommend starting your day with breakfast at Oro. The combination of delectable cuisine, attentive staff, and charming views makes it a standout choice for both hotel guests and visitors to San Antonio.

Waitress was the rudest waitress I have ever come across in any restaurant. Arrived at our table and was basically yelling at us while taking our order. Was trying to take the order very fast because she said she had a big table to wait on. She brought no water, no silverware, no glasses or ice. Sodas were served hot from the bottle. She messed up my hubbie's order. Just full of attitude. Even the people at the table next to our commented on how rude she was. When I commented on her attitude, I guess she realized she was in danger of losing her tip and started trying to be nice. Too late. She had already ruined dinner. Won't be back again.

Terrible service! Walked in thinking it was going to be a great place (part of the Emily Morgan hotel) to grab a few drinks and boy was I wrong. Waitress (Le Croy) was unfriendly, basically forced us to close out our tab after 1 drink each(bar didn't close until 12 and we arrived at 9:30. She had sign the receipt and when she came back to collect the signed receipts she rudely asked " now where are those receipts i asked you to sign". They were sitting near the edge of the table l folded nicely with her pen.

Great service at the bar! Mollie/Molly was extremely attentive and knowledgeable! Drinks came quickly and tasted perfect! We'll definitely be back!
