Hungry? A new neighborhood Venezuelan spot has you covered. The newcomer to Williamsburg, called Casa Ora, is located at 148 Meserole St.
Casa Ora specializes in elevated, farm-to-table Venezuelan cuisine. Check out bar bites like the arepitas, appetizers like the fluke ceviche or pork tamale, and mains like the baby shark stew with plantain, the scallops with herb pesto, the braised short rib with yucca, and the arroz con pollo for two.
The bar serves nearly 20 different signature cocktails, such as the Venezuela Libre (gin, lemon, mint, cucumber) and the Tio Simon (Venezuelan rum, lime, pineapple, velvet falernum, green chartreuse). On the weekends, the restaurant serves a full brunch menu, and the space, which features a throwback 1980s decor and capacity for more than 100, is available for private events.
With a four-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp so far, the fresh arrival is getting solid feedback from clientele.
Lenka D., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Sept. 5, wrote, "Whoaaaa!!! The ambience and decor — classy, intimate, sexy and very welcoming."
Yelper Ryan K. added, "This is some of the best food in the city. It's priced very well, and the place is family-owned."
Interested? Stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood. Casa Ora is open for dinner from 5:30–11 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. It's also open for brunch from 11 a.m.–3:30 p.m. on weekends. (It's closed on Monday.)
