BARBECUE PORK NACHOS & TUNA TACOS

Super impressed with our meal, drinks & service. We had the nachos - and loved them so much we came back a couple days later! The portion was great for sharing, very generous and packed with flavor! We also got the tuna tacos which tasted amazing. The waitstaff was super attentive and gave great recommendations.

Absolutely loved everything about this place. Decor was looked interesting and fun, Staff were friendly and took the time to check and get back on any questions we had about the ingredients (we had a lot of Vegans and Vegetarians in our group, with specific requirements) and tried accommodate our requests as best as they good. But the best part was the Food and Drinks. Plenty of great options, especially for someone like me who loves meat, and not a bad selection for Vegetarians. Cocktails tasted great and were strong. Would definitely recommend.

Stumbled across this amazing restaurant. So low key! Inside was amazing, the art in the walls the ambiance was everything ... it's a Mexican Restaurant! It really depicted a little Mexico! I'll definitely be back because the food was tasty and I want to try everything on the menu little by little! Service from Andy was incredible!

The place is very aesthetically pleasing, good for a photo op. The food lacks. $30 special for 3 birria tacos with a side of "consome" which was just sauce is beyond me. The drinks are also subpar. The sangria was just a glass of low quality red wine and a mini grand marnier bottle. Pretty for a picture but definitely not a sangria. If you're not going to do the basics don't even have it on the menu. The only good thing were the nachos. Go down the street to taqueria downtown and you'll find better tasting tacos and it won't be $10 per taco

Nacho was sort of stale - so disappointing. It's not that hard to make. Fish Taco was good. Bone Marrow Taco was way too fatty. Guac was the best thing.

Darkly gorgeous spot for a catch-up brunch with a friend. We shared the Guacamole Casa, Bombero and El Naco guacamoles to start. All tasted fresh and flavorful, with the El Naco being top dog (or pig) for its tasty pork belly bits. My Huevos Con Chilaquiles was everything I wanted a bowl of toasted tortilla chips to be, and my glass of Red Sangria got me nice and buzzed without too much effort. All in all, a solid spot in this over-saturated stretch of downtown to grab a bite.

Several local friends recommended this place and we had some tasty machin bone marrow and carolina barbacoa tacos with the smokey margarita for dinner. The bone marrow tacos were more about the bone marrow and pork belly texture - melt in your mouth fat with some crunchy cabbage. Versus the barbacoa was more about the flavors the meat had been marinating in, packed with smokey, sweet, and little bit of heat flavor. While they're smaller street taco sized, I did appreciate there were 5 in each order. We also liked the sauces, my favorite being the green one, which had a nice medium heat. The smokey marg was fine but nothing memorable and quite pricey, would stick to beer next time. Service was very fast and friendly, and the ambiance is hip and casual with a day of the dead theme. I was surprised the acoustics in the space were decent, it looks like it could be noisy but I was able to have a convo easily with my partner. Would return for some innovative Mexican fusion next time I'm in JC!

Enchilada Suiza

Amazing service - our waiter was very attentive and everything came out with good timing. The food is solid too-i had the queso flameado, enchilada suiza, and the flan.

Truffle Ribeye Burrito
Derrick N.

Orale's interior space was very cool. The art on the walls and dim lighting made it a great place for a casual date night. Was very excited to have Orale's Truffle Ribeye Burrito. I love a good burrito and this one was one a kind. Steak + not just queso but truffled queso?! Unfortunately, my burrito was a tad cooler than room temp and the service was very slow. It was massive so there were tons of leftovers, but a not warm burrito obviously led to a mediocre taste. Disappointed.

Great tacos half off on Tuesday cash only! Come here to try the different kinds, ambiance is cute and whimsical

While I can't comment on the wine list personally, I know they are well-known for their extensive selection. After placing our order, we were delivered the sesame pizza bianca, which is a complimentary starter bread with dinner. The bread was a nice size and light and airy with a perfect crust and a delicious, crusty sesame seed bottom. The prawns were our starter and came three to a dish. They were sizable, though since they are served with the head and tail, there isn't a ton of meat on them. That said, they were flavorful and juicy with a nice sauce and just the right amount of spice that didn't overwhelm the fish. The snowdance chicken was the star of the show! It was incredibly juicy and tender with perfectly prepared skin, so I was happy to learn they keep this on the menu year-round. It was topped with some spinach that was solid, though nothing special. We also ordered a side of mushrooms which came with a creamy sauce and fish roe intended to be mixed at the table. The roe wasn't fishy at all but added a great element of umami to the flavorful, well-textured mushrooms. Overall, the service was very professional, though I thought the pacing could have been improved as the dishes came out a bit slowly. I would also recommend ordering at least two dishes per person, as the three plates we shared between two people felt like just a touch too little food. I'm already looking forward to going back--I'd try the winter chicories salad or the veal sweetbreads next time, but I'm open to exploring everything since the quality is so high. I noticed a side dish listed on their online menu that wasn't actually offered in person, so it might be worth double-checking if you have your heart set on a specific item.

We came in on a Friday evening and it was pretty quiet inside. After we were sat down upstairs, it took a long time for our waitress to come to take our order. We got the Butterscotch flip, Getaway driver, and Big trouble. These drinks were not it. Although the prices are okay($19 each), they definitely need some improvement. All three had very strong flavors that were not balanced with the rest of the drink. After we finished our drinks, we waited an especially long time for the waitress to come back, check on us, and give us our bill. It was especially frustrating because we were the only ones in the bar at this point and we could hear them chatting downstairs. Overall, both service and the drinks need improvement. Can't really recommend Split Eights over other cocktail bars around.

Our cocktails were delicious, music was on point, service didn't feel rushed at all. I was feeling adventurous and asked for a boozy gin-based cocktail.. loved it! My friend really enjoyed her drink as well. At $19 per cocktail, it's not the cheapest in the area, but also not the priciest either. Would absolutely recommend Split Eights to anyone looking for craft cocktails in the area.

He is the best mixologist in NYC. He danced with lemon slices cutting through pours of clear liquids from heights. He tossed and shook, and was precise and caring. A true artist. David made our night. The only reason I would ever walk back into this place is to sit at the bar and let David mesmerize me. FOOD: Broccoli rabe was fresh, but I needed a steak knife to cut through it. It was very al dente. Not cut properly, which is to cut crosses in the stems. Salad was fresh and crisp, high quality fennel and greens. Lovely. Agnoletti was divine. Home made. Focaccia very good with subtle flavors and just the right crust. Olive oil, good. The front of house staff was lovely, two ladies, and a friendly guy. Super lovely. Treated us like friends. Also the busboys were all gentlemen. I loved them. They brushed crumbs off the table with panache. The only complaint is the waiter was robotic, and issued rule after rule. No smile. EX: It was a freezing night. We wanted to order appetizer's first, and have a chance to look at the menu. He couldn't do that. "I need the whole order." Then one of us wanted to order the pre fixe dinner. "You can't do that. You both have to order it." He was very cold, a robot. To enjoy ourselves, we had to push through the horrible treatment. Too bad for the waiter, when I asked about the special pasta, he butchered the pronunciation, giving me a soft pitch to teach him Italian. I blasted him. C'est la vie.
