Atmosphere / Ambiance
OX Steakhouse is rustic and inviting but small. As you walk in, you notice brick walls and an island bar right by the front door.

The Food
The menu at OX Steakhouse features a variety of delicious items, all of which are cooked to perfection. Whether you’re looking for a hearty entrée or a light starter, you’ll find something to your liking.
To start things off, we ordered OX’s famous Clam Chowder. OX’s twist on Clam Chowder is bursting with flavor. The “Chowder” is served with Smoked Marrow Bone, Green Onion, and Jalapeno. Very tasty and perfect for our party of four to share.
My dad had the 18 oz Maple-Brined Pork Loin Chop for our main courses, cooked to a medium temperature. The Chop was moist and tender, had excellent grill marks, and the flavor was smokey, earthy, and delicious.
My Mom had the 13 oz Wild Alaskan Halibut on the Bone with Preserved Lemon Salsa Verde. The Halibut came out grilled to perfection, flaky, and fell off the bone!
My wife had the 8 oz Grass-Fed Beef Filet cooked to a perfect medium-rare temperature. The Filet was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor!
I had the 16 oz Beef Ribeye, cooked medium-rare. It was a perfect pink in the center with great char on the outer edges. The ribeye was so tender that I didn’t need a knife to cut it.
For sides, we had Foie Gras, Sautéed Mushrooms with wilted spinach and chives, Roasted Cauliflower, Yuzu Citrus Hollandaise, and Dungeness Crab. All were amazing and were perfect additions to our entrees.
We had Chocolate Sorbet with Grilled Figs and Chocolate-Olive Oil Cake, Rum Mascarpone Mousse, and Fudge Sauce for dessert. The Olive Oil Cake was so moist and decadent and a great closure to a fantastic dinner!
The Service
The service was spot-on, and the attention to detail was just as impressive. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry, I get the concept of teamwork, and let me tell you, the staff at OX also get it. There were always two or three servers, in addition to our main server, always looking over their shoulder to ensure there were no empty glasses or unsightly dishes unattended and left just sitting. The attentive service at OX Steakhouse was a great compliment to the amazing food.
The service at OX is amazing. The staff is all incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they go above and beyond to ensure every customer is happy.
