A Vision of Gold
Oro, which means gold in Spanish, is the newest restaurant on Lincoln Road. Its owner, Philippe Kalifa, shared that the concept started as a vision. "It’s not even my favorite metal, if I have to say. It’s, just, I don’t know. It felt right when I envisioned it, the femininity of this concept, and I just started to picture everything in gold." The divine fine dining vibe is captured throughout, starting with a ride through the golden arches to even the ceiling.
Golden Walls and a Midas Touch
The walls of Oro are made of 24-karat gold, a material that reacts to everything, including humidity or a little bit of salt. It took six months to create. This unique feature is just one of the many surprises that await visitors at Oro. Great for date night or a fun outing, this indoor-outdoor spot is sure to impress.
Entertainment and Ambiance
Oro’s owner, Philippe Kalifa, wants to wow his guests, so he’s brought in a range of entertainment options. "We really want to wow you, so it’s singers, it’s ballet dancers, violinist, saxophonist. We have an amazing woman that’s dressed in huge gold flowers." With its elegant atmosphere and lively entertainment, Oro is an ideal spot for a special occasion or a night out with friends.
Global Cuisine with a Twist
The culinary creations at Oro are the real stars. Chef Victor Munoz shared that the menu is inspired by different backgrounds, cultures, and diversities, fusing them together using local biodiversity to curate the food and beverage program. Meaning that their menu is internationally inspired, but they use local ingredients. Some standout dishes include halibut that fuses Asian and Indian cultures, Uni Mazemen that infuses Italian, French, and Japanese techniques, and a Lobster Shawarma.
Waste Not, Want Not
Oro doesn’t throw anything away, not even when it comes to their drinks. Chef Victor Munoz explained, "We can’t use the trim of the foie gras, so we give them to the bar to fold a Macallan 12 into that cocktail and pair that with phenomenal flavors of butterscotch toffee, apricot, and some caviar." This attention to detail and commitment to sustainability sets Oro apart from other restaurants.
The Verdict
Iliana Torres, a satisfied customer, raved, "The food was delicious. The halibut that we had was so fresh, it’s amazing, and the cocktails, don’t even get me started. I mean, my friend had caviar with her drink. We really had a good time and excited to come back."
