Went to Oru at the Fairmont Pacific Rim.

Pretty good - very good beet salad starter (the Nicoise salad was good too). The lightly smoked seared salmon was excellent while my braised beef cheeks were good but a bit salty. We ordered a side of fingerling potatoes and wild mushrooms - the potatoes were nice but the mushrooms were quite salty. Sides weren't necessary since the servings are fairly decent sized.

It's not hard to rack up a big bill there if you are a drinker since the cocktails around $16-20 ea. The place works best for non-drinkers.

For $38 it's was pretty good but not top of my list (I liked Hawkworth's DineOut better).
