Not fantabulous...like some other places in Brooklyn. Empanadas and salad good. Fish dish good. Drinks good. Nothing really mind or soul blowing. Got crowded and servers seemed not to be able to keep up but we're attentive and gave menu suggestions. Social distancing totally out the window here like in most NY places so if that's important - go early

Amazing ambiance and aesthetics of the restaurant! I really enjoyed all the food here. I've tried many different horchatas and this restaurant by far makes the best one. Definitely must get the empanadas and the chicken rice dish here. Will most likely come back!

What a great dining experience right in the heart of my neighborhood! Beautiful ambiance. Nice decor. Service was great. Food impeccable!! Very accommodating. Walking in this place you definitely feel a sense of class. It's so beautiful inside. Nicely lit bar area. Plush seats. Great wood tables. Plants all around. We were a group of 10. Celebrating my daughters 12th bday. The menu isn't that big which was great. We started with some Arepitas. Filling but small. Soooo good. They give you a nice variety of 4 different ones to choose from. You can have all 4 or choose the ones you'd prefer. My favorite was the bean one. Also came with some side sauces. One Spicy and one sweet. Both went well with the aprepitas. My daring child ordered the monk fish wrapped in sweet plantains. She wasn't a fan. We returned it and she got the paella. Which I also had. It was good. A little oily but very flavorful. Scallop dish was cute. Just 3 scallops so not that filling. Needed something else to accompany it to be full. Beef was amazing. Beans had great flavor. Dessert was yummy. Kids had the chocolate ice cream. Overall great time here. Would return.

..MI CASA ES TÚ CASA (ORA)FAMILY MEALFREE 3 COURSE PREFIXWith thanks to my Cuzzo I was able to attend. A pre-set menu with limited availability and absolutely no substitutions. Each night the menu was different. You were more then welcome to order additional items for purchase off of the regular menu a la carte.On the night we attended the prefix menu consisted of the Tostones, Bollitos Pelones, and Maitake. To be fare this is hard for me to review because I am not a fan of some of the ingredients used in a couple of the dishes. Not much to say about tostones except for more would have been great. The Bollitos Pelones, it was a nice presentation and flavorful. I enjoyed the heat of the spices, however I'm not fan of any the "impossible" meats and that was one of the ingredient used. For the Maitake the main ingredient was mushrooms, which I do not eat so my Cuzzo took mine to go. Again the presentation was lovely and she said it was extremely tasty and even hearty. So like I said hard to review, of course those were items that I would not normally go for but the menu was a surprise. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Given the tight schedule, we arrived super early, they were able to seat us anyway and also allowed us to switch tables to be more comfortable. Looking forward to dine here again and give a true review. I was just happy for the time spent with my Cuzzo (Minah M).Just A Note:Absolutely love the ambience, the lighting and decor is super intimate. The greenery makes it extra cozy. Looking forward to returning for decor alone.

Venezuelan person's review:Honestly, I was super disappointed. As a Venezuelan I was so excited to try a fine dining interpretation of Venezuelan food. Went with my Venezuelan friend for her birthday and we were wildly confused because this place is Michelin rated. A couple things were really good and everything looked quite pretty but the majority of the food was lackluster and so disappointing. I went in March. It was 45 degrees outside and it was freezing inside. The air conditioning was blasting. Cold food was one of the themes of the night. I will give it to them for the drinks. They were very good. We ordered the chicha and the chicha w mezcal and a margarita. Very good drinks 9/10. Never found chicha in the states so that was fun and nostalgic. We ordered the cachapas that claimed to have queso guayanés. But they came out cold and the cheese was raw. That cheese needed to be MELTED and gooey. I sent it back to be warmed up, it came out Luke warm cheese still not melted. Very easy dish to make. The only criteria for a Cachapa is that the cheese is melted and that it's warm. Literally nothing else. Maybe the air conditioning on a cold night was making everything cold but. Super disappointing. I give them 3/10. I would have kept some full corn kernels in them and made them on the fire grill or something to elevate them and have a rustic feel. Missed opportunity for Instagramable cheese pull videos. *sigh*We had the Tequeños. They were also mediocre and cold. 5/10Guasacaca was really good though. So nice job on that. Next we had the Hallaca which was honestly really good! And it was beautiful. Loved it. One of the only successful dishes we ordered. I applaud this one. Best thing we had all night. Beautifully and authentically elevated. I wish the rest of the dishes took this same approach. Simple and reflective of Venezuela but also so sophisticated. 9.5/10Plátanos maduros were standard. 10/10Finally we ordered the Asado Negro, we were so excited this is a traditional Venezuelan dish. It claimed to be braised for 48 hours and came with arepas on the side. For being the most expensive thing on the menu for like $60 or something it was pretty much inedible. This dish is supposed to be sweet but It was wayyy too sweet, the fennel on top was super weird and off putting the dish was not balanced at all. Worst of all, the meat was tough! It came with the saddest arepas I've ever seen in my life. They were made in a mold *sigh* and pre-cut in half. *sigh again*. And not to mention cold as hell. This dish was too big, too expensive and too sweet. Presentation was ok. 1/10. AREPAS are the core of Venezuelan cuisine and they need to made by hand. The were rushed made in mold and felt like a lazy attempt to mass produce arepas. They felt stripped of their identity it was truly tragic. No fingerprints, no sign of passion or love put into them. And they were freezing and dense and floppy. They were cold because they're were precut down the middle. I don't know if they were trying to make it easier for non Venezuelan people to eat or something but cutting your own arepa is part of the experience and shouldn't have been erased for sake of convenience. Please dedicate some people to make these by hand please please please. Again if you want to elevated them throw them on a fire grill or something don't put them in a mold. The customer should be able to cut their own open or have the waiter do it and watch all the steam come out of the inside. Opportunity for a cool experience here. Me friend and I tried to put that tough meet in the arepa. We both took one bite and couldn't eat anymore. It was so bad we requested to speak with the owner. He was a bit defensive but after hearing we were Venezuelan and we know what it should taste like he switched up and took it back and took it off our bill. I really want to support Venezuelan businesses but this place does not reflect the richness of Venezuelan food, nor do I think it elevates it in an authentic way. 3/10 overall experience. My notes to the owner would be to stay true to Venezuela and don't do things to try to appeal to the masses. Allow people to have a memorable and unique experience, don't be scared to have to educate guests on the culture. Arepas should be hand made slightly crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Not cold, precut floppy and dry. The fact that this place messed up some of the most quintessential Venezuelan dishes to me shows that there is no story trying to be told here. This restaurant felt performative. I hope they figure out what story they want to tell because to me it seems like Venezuelan food stripped of its identity to appeal to the gringos. Hope Casa Ora figures out what their identity is. I hope one day to return for a redeeming experience. Good luck Casa Ora. Rooting for you guys but had to give my honest opinion.

The ambiance is warm. They have a large indoor space as well as outdoor seating (heated in the winter). My fellow Yelper and I shared the appetizers which were empanadas with meat or cheese. They were so dang good. Lots of great flavor. I'd order again. Next we had a creamy black bean soup. It was creamy with a lot of great flavor. Next was the chicken and rice. I usually shy away from white meat but the chicken was so tender and juicy and flavorful. The yellow rice was also magic in my mouth. I ate everything and was full by the end of the meal. I also ordered some cocktails. I either got a margarita or an old fashion. I can't remember which, or maybe both but there were no complaints.The arrangement of the dining area in the back was a bit awkward. If you sit in the corner or far end you have to maze through tables of people but it's worth it. Great place for a lone meal or drink (because they have a large bar area in the front). It's also great for groups of friends or family for a meal. You can't go wrong!
