Loro Austin

Such a fun place with a cool vibe, great food, great drinks (frozen drinks in the summer are a win). Pretty busy most visits (duh, it's good & popular), so be prepared to wait if you have a larger party or call ahead to get a better pulse on the wait. However, you will absolutely enjoy the wait with the great outdoor atmosphere, and you can wait with a drink from the bar. Complimentary water stations and clean bathrooms to ease the wait. Parking: Adjacent lots available. Just be mindful of the no parking signs at the surrounding establishments. Kid-friendliness: It's not a quiet zone, so no one will care how loud your spawn are. And the outdoor seating is perfect for fur-babies.

Loro is a great restaurant for a quick bite or even hanging out for a while. Tasty dishes abound. Reasonable acoustics in a town where restaurants typically ignore it completely.

We had a great first experience at Loro, the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back?

It's at Loro I found love, not in the eyes of another, but in a dish so divine, it made my heart flutter. This isn't just any tale of dining and wine; it's a story of chicken karaage, a love so fine. The moment it arrived, golden and crisp, I knew I'd found my calling, a flavor I couldn't resist. It was an unexpected joy, a treasure unveiled, like finding a diamond when all you've sought has failed. Each bite was a melody, a song so sweet, I found myself singing, right there in my seat. "I love you like a love song, baby," I crooned to the chicken, so tender and savory. "And I keep hitting re-pe-pe-peat," because with every bite, my life felt more complete. It was a serenade of flavors, a chorus so bright, that chicken karaage and I, under the restaurant light. But then, the darkness crept in, a twist in my tale, as I realized this love was beyond the pale. I proposed to the chicken, right there and then, a moment of madness, beyond any restraint. "Will you make me the happiest diner alive?" I asked, though I knew, this love couldn't thrive. The staff looked on, bewildered, amused, as I professed my love, utterly confused. It was dark, controlling, this need for a dish, but the heart wants what it wants, and mine wanted this bliss. Yet, amidst the stares, there was a truth, so raw and bare. Loro had given me a memory, a dining experience that was truly divine. So here's to the chicken karaage, my unexpected joy, Loro's culinary masterpiece, that no one can destroy. In the end, it's a tale of love and chicken. A review of Loro, where the food tugs at heart strings, and even the darkest love, can bring joy on its wings.
