The food was amazing. The collard green hush puppies and the salmon empanadas were so good. The dishes we got were Arroz Con Pollo, Turkish Lamb kabobs and the Grandma Lue's burger. Everyone absolutely loved their food. I always have a good experience at Oreatha's. Friendly servers, nice ambience and delicious food is what keeps me coming back. I'll definitely be back for happy hour.

I had an amazing experience. Tiara was my waitress, and she was very attentive very pleasant and very accommodating. The food was amazing. She was very knowledgeable of the menu. She also provided suggestions of various food options. I will definitely be coming back. The ambience was nice. They had music playing and the vibe was very upbeat. A nice place to go if you’re looking to have brunch with family or friends.
