My boyfriend and I happened to make this reservation randomly. This was by far the best dinner either of us have ever had. Each dish was so tasty but also so different from what you find at most other restaurants. Additionally, the service is the best either of us have ever experienced. All staff were extremely welcoming and truly exceptional. Created such a fun environment. Would come back just for the food or the service. Luckily, this place has both!

The garlic mayo rolls remind me of Karachi khadda market. There is a variety of other options that I ll definitely try. Shout out to Hussain for the excellent service

Absolutely incredible experience. We made a reservation for the cave dining area with the preset tasting menu. Going in, I was a little skeptical about whether the food would live up to the hype, especially with the smaller, fine-dining-style portions, but every single course completely exceeded our expectations. Each dish was beautifully plated, perfectly portioned, and packed with incredible flavour. The combinations were creative, balanced, and genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever had. By the end of the meal, we were completely full, so don’t let the portion sizes fool you! On top of the amazing food, we had the most amazing waiter taking care of us, Nathan, who made the experience even more memorable. He explained every dish in detail, helping us understand each ingredient and how it contributed to the overall experience. He was so personable, funny and genuinely passionate about what he was serving. For every question we had, he had an answer and he truly elevated the already amazing experience we had. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a truly special meal.

This was my fourth or fifth time visiting And/Ore, and it’s always been amazing! The food is delicious, the service is fantastic, prompt and friendly, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. I recently had my bachelorette dinner here and I can’t imagine a better time. Our experience was truly incredible, and we were so lucky to have the lovely Bradley as our server - he knew his stuff and treated us all like queens! Highly recommend.

I had the best time at this place. We did the 8 course tasting menu in the cave. And wow what an experience. I am plant based and my partner is not but they still found a way to modify each thing to make sure we’re still having similar experiences. Had the pleasure of meeting the chef who is a beautiful and creative genius ! As well as the pastry chef I believe who made the PERFECT dessert. The bar was very very cool and the bartender down there Lu was so knowledgeable and delightful. But our experience was elevated by Nathan our server who was, aside from the food, the highlight of our night. How funny and smart ! This is a one of a kind experience. I must go back. And 12/10 would highly recommend. My man paid so I have no idea how expensive it was but it’s totally worth it.

Beautiful atmosphere with a friendly staff backed by an uninspired, scattered, and hastily assembled tasting menu. Babies first fine dining experience. All of the flash none of the substance.
