Came here with several friends some time back on a weekend night. I absolutely love the ambience and music here more than anything else. The dim lighting makes Oriole a very suitable place for people to chillout and it's good that there's al fresco dining as well.

Tried their Honey Crumble Affogato ($9.5) - well done. The vanilla ice cream was ordinary but the shot of espresso was of quality and the mix was good. The honeycomb crunch brought the whole dessert to a whole new level. Good mix of flavours. Loved the dessert.

Their vanilla latte was a tad too sweet. 

Prawns bruschetta – sweet and tart chopped tomatoes, succulent garlic prawns with just the right amount of basil and extra virgin olive oil that came well together, on top of toasted baguette slices with a charred and butter aroma, crisp outside and soft inside. While I loved the starter, could not say the same of its mocha that not only lacked the aroma and taste of coffee but was also too milky with just a tinge of chocolate taste in it. Pleasantly surprised the barista somehow seemed to realise and came by to ask if my drink was ok. Indeed “award-winning baristas dedicated to the pursuit of the perfect coffee experience”. Kudos to them for understanding customers’ needs and the impeccable service! Could smell the aroma of roasted beans in the replaced cuppa, which was smooth with a right balance of chocolate and milk.
