Quality. Great atmosphere and location. Delicious side dishes. I love dosc for a great steak. They have quality dishes available where most places do not offer these items like wagyu beef. It is expensive and a splurge. And this where you go to do just that. Conveinent location makes it a great place to eat before a hockey game or event event. read more

We were visiting Edmonton for the week and visited DOSC for a date night. I saw some great reviews online and it did not let us down. This was one of those meals that you know you'll remember for a long time...in the best way. The best: - Brussel sprouts: crispy, sweet, and savory. Probably some of the best Brussels I've ever had. - ribeye with chimichurri: so good. Flavorful, tender, and the best chimichurri I've ever had. - oxtail poutine: I'm not a poutine girl but thought this was pretty good. The oxtail was so tender and with the gravy- seasoned very well. Pass: - striploin: we struggled to finish this one and had to ask for chimichurri to try and make it better. Even though it was cooked to a medium, it was not tender and we were not a fan of the peppercorn sauce. I'd skip the striploin and only go for the ribeye. The team at DOSC even curated a recommendations list for food in Edmonton. So sweet. 5 stars: beyond great service and very well seasoned food. read more

Food great prices ridiculously expensive way out of my league way too costly for anyone I know

I came to this what I assumed was as just a coffee shop for a great coffee and cookie only to find out it has a dual personality- coffee shop in day and cocktail bar at night! How cool is that? In fact the name means Drunk Ox Sober Cat - now you are in the know! The coffee side of DOSC is great! The coffee and cookie were delicious- adding spice to a chocolate chip cookie was a great touch! The seating was comfortable. I will say when we went it was so sunny it would have been nice to have blinds on the windows to pull down. The service was fantastic. The person at the counter was wonderful at explaining the difference between a wet and dry cappuccino- something I have never known. (It's the difference between how much foam you get.) I can't wait to come back in the evening and check out the fun cocktails for drunk ox side of things! read more

Great food and people and venue. We had a great time and the service was amazing. Plan to return soon!!

Absolutely fantastic! Went in for the first time and really enjoyed the menu for Downtown Dining week. Booked a reservation and was seated promptly when we arrived on time. The wait time to place our first order was a bit on long, but our server was very nice and constantly checked on us throughout our courses afterwards. They also explained the aspect of each course so it was more enjoyable to eat our meals, knowing what went into them! We started off with their All Inclusive from their Sober Cat menu, and it's something that we'd definitely order again when we go back! Ordered bone marrow (very melt-in-your-mouth), their DOSC ceasar salad (great flavour and crunch), 8 oz Smoked Juniper and Coffee Rubbed Flat Iron (a bit tough of a cut but enjoyed the deeper flavour it gave) and Rigatoni a la Vodka (had a pleasant kick of heat that we didn't expect but really enjoyed). Ended things off with their Chocolate Pave that was very rich and decadent, but we couldn't finish it as we were full from the previous courses. Loved it! Would visit again! read more

Such a cute spot for brunch in downtown Edmonton! Served from 10am-245pm. Really appreciate the gluten free and vegetarian options. The outdoor patio is quite lovely as well. I had the avocado benny ($21) and it was quite delicious and filling. The eggs were poached perfectly served on top of a fluffy cruffle and the hash browns were crispy. Service was good as well - just had to pay inside the restaurant as the machines don't reach outside. read more

This spot it located in the heart of Edmonton. I didn't see a designated parking lot but there is metered street parking along the street. The restaurant has a small cafe located in it and a somewhat open kitchen style. The service was quick and everyone was friendly. The food was pretty good! I loved the Brussel sprouts! They were so crispy and flavorful. The brisket Benedict's was perfectly executed. The egg was poached with a runny yolk. The waffle as a base was a great change up from an English muffin. I loved that it was crunchy and not soggy. The grilled cheese was crispy and buttery. The soup was very hearty and filling. read more

I finally tried out DOSC after hearing about it for so many years. In terms of food, I opted for their Brisket Benny instead of the steaks that they're more known for. The benny was decent but didn't stand out...so I'd give it 7.8/10 read more

First time at DOSC, with a fairly positive review. Had the oxtail poutine, very flavorful and delicious, no complaints, large portion. Had the Kale Cesar Salad, again, large portion, a little spicy and a little heavy on the anchovies flavor. Had the beef Ragu, the pasta was a touch undercooked but the flavor was great. Service was excellent, no issues. The wine selection was decent but I take issue with gouging. The wine by the glass list is limited pushing you towards a bottle of course, I get it.. but the bottle that we settled on was $60 and listed on Vino at $13.20 again, I know I'll pay double and a bit but that's a little overpriced for a so so bottle of wine. read more

Large space with a comfortable and welcoming interior. Staff greeted us warmly and we sat at the bar for dinner. Steaks were very good, although thinly cut. Sides were high quality. Bar service was really friendly and fun. Drinks were locally sourced and promoted which is cool. DOSC has a youthful exuberance, and that can be just what you need sometimes. Wine list could be more extensive though. read more

We ordered 10 ounce rib eye steaks. They were $40. Wanted mushroom bourbon $7, wanted a side salad $7. We got a steak with a loonie size of jalapenos on the plate. The steak was already cut up, the steak was thin. It was okay, the mushroom bourbon was salty, the side salad had jalapenos in it. Over all it was meh. I could have had a bettet steak at a plethora of other steak restauarants that have better cuts, flavor and accompaniments. Very disappointing and no I wont be back. The only thing I give 5 Shawnas for was the bidet. I never wanted to leave and my girl got a wash and blow dry for free! read more

DOSC - Cafes Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

DOSC, it's in downtown. Street parking. Inside is big, open and airy. I've been a few times. I would suggest a reservation no matter when you go, even if there's almost no one there when you arrive, I've always been asked if I reserved. All the food I've had here has been delicious and beautifully presented. I continue to go back for rib eye and red wine and then order vegetable dishes because it seems wrong to just have beef and wine.... Service is professional and attentive. read more

My only regret going to Edmonton is that I didn't see any cows. However, that didn't stop me from eating some, and DOSC was the best introduction to the Albertan beef culinary scene I could've hoped for. Located right in downtown Edmonton, DOSC has got that classy but unpretentious vibe that I really dig. Beautiful open space with rustic furniture, wood beam ceilings, slightly steampunk feels. I love it. Fantastic place to grab a craft cocktail or a great steak, which is exactly what I did. Visiting from Toronto, I cannot get over how much steak I can get for my money. A beautiful 10 oz dry-aged ribeye for $42...that's better value than the Keg! And obviously so much tastier. The juicy steak was perfectly medium rare, sitting on a fluffy cushion of garlicky pomme puree. Also go the Oxtail Poutine which was great with fresh fries and savoury oxtail meat but the real star of the show was the Brussel Sprouts. The large size was big enough to share between 4 and the sprouts were perfectly crispy, a little citrusy and a little sweet. We added pancetta to it and it was absolute perfection. Great recommendation from our server, who was also superb! If you're looking for a great place for a date, or just craving some good meat, DOSC is the place to go! read more

I had the Puttanesca and I added grilled chicken. It was just alright. I had a try of the strip loin 104 and the sauce was good but pretty heavy. Their fries are good, garlicky with parm. Our server was friendly but seemed a bit peeved at us towards the end (not sure why?). It's a cool vibe with nice decor, and I'd come back to visit the cafe - but the food isn't going to draw me back. read more

What happened to the service and food here? Came here today for Mothers Day. We're seated at the cafe side bar table as reservations were fully booked until 2pm. That's fine. Had to flag down someone after 10 min to take our order as none of the 3-4 staff members working the cafe were attentive other than pouring water upon arrival. No apple juice for kiddos since the bar doesn't use it for any cocktails. Ordered "fresh squeezed" OJ instead which was a huge disappointment. Their idea of "fresh squeezed" tasted like pulp less concentrated OJ and served in a short highball glass full of ice (last several times we were here and ordered the Oj it was actually fresh, sweet, with bits of pulp and served in a tall glass with no ice). Needless to say when we inquired about the quality all we got back we're defensive answers that it certainly is fresh squeezed. Hubs and I both ordered avocado toast which was lovely but doesn't come with sides so we shared an order of hashbrowns as well. Avocado toast was good but hashbrowns did not taste fresh like previous times and had a stale taste so we didn't finish them. Note that they don't serve any breakfast sandwiches like before. Finally, ordered a slice of carrot cake and had specifically asked for a piece from the new cake that was just added to the display. But of course I watched as I was served the last piece of cake that had been sitting in the display since the precious day (albeit covered with a glass dome) but nonetheless was hard as can imagine - it was not finished. One of the baristas behind the counter asked how our cake was and I told them it was dry - to which she just said "oh sorry", nervously laughed and walked away. Wow! My husband and I literally laughed at how comical the terrible service was. Needless to say we won't be back even though we live nearby and used to venture here regularly. Oh and as a cherry on top, not one person who worked there even bothered to wish a Happy Mother's Day. Perhaps my expectations are too high. But sad. read more

5 of us came for brunch Sunday before an event at rogers place and LOVED all of it! Great food, creative menu, tasty cocktails, and awesome service! The atmosphere is fun and relaxed too and such a fun place in general! They are also on the yeg coffee pass and have delicious drinks! This place does it all and I only with I loved closer to it!

Amazing hot spot we were all super impressed with. A fantastic date night, superb drinks, divine food, great vibe. We first tried this place out during a Yelp event and what impressed us most was how organized they were for the event, if they can be organized so well for a special event I couldn't help but be drawn back to see the space and experience it on a date night. At the event we had a sample of their Brussel sprouts and I was pleased to see them on their regular menu and ordered up two plates! That sweet white sauce, tastes like donair sauce, paired with the crispy honey brussel sprouts is an addictive combination! We also ordered to. Butterfly Pea flower brûlée and the presentation blew us away!! I love that it was all edible, including the flowers, but the taste was equally heavenly! Definitely would recommend this dessert any day. Cocktail Drinks were all well done and had great flavour, the gin sour was also a delight. And we love craft beer, especially local, so seeing a local brewery on tap was an automatic choice for my hubby. It's hard to want to go somewhere else on a future date night when this place hit the top of the charts for us so well. Loved that we could see into the kitchen; that always speaks volumes when you can see right into the heart of a restaurant, the bathrooms were so clean, the private party room looked like a great room with casks for decor. I would be intrigued to try some of the steak as this place is listed as a steakhouse. Next date night for sure! read more

DOSC - Cafes Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

There's no dearth of good eateries in Edmonton; that's one reason I so love my adopted second city. There *is* a dearth of excellent execution: rarely do front-of-house and back-of-house mesh so seamlessly as to spark joy in the diner. DOSC sparked joy. From the clean exterior façade to the strong horizontal lines and quirky art of the interior, to the thoughtful elements and equipment including the beef dry-ager to accents in the washrooms, DOSC (Drunken Ox, Sober Cat - a nod to the contrasting personalities of the owners) shows an attention to detail that's vital to curating a good set of courses. Upon entering you've got a choice between the Sober Cat Café to your left and the Drunken Ox dining areas to your right, within which there are tables and booths. The hunnybunny chose a booth for us. I got to pick that perfect one that gave me a straight-line view into the kitchen and she got the panorama of the goings-on. Front-of-house was represented by Megan, the barista-on-duty, and Bianca, the 'leader'. (No, really, that's the title on her business card.) Both women were no-nonsense lovers of their domains, sharing their joy of coffee and cuisine, respectively. Best of all, I heard the wonderfully honest words "I don't know" on occasion, to be followed up by a researched answer. That's refreshing; thank you. Bianca gave us an unhurried tour of the restaurant, showing off with pride the kitchen (beautiful views are to be had) and the beef dry-ager and the many cuts of meat on display. The 'bunny did the ordering for us, picking a selection of items to share. (We've been doing this together for a while, all over the world, so there's rarely anything to worry about.) As apps she chose the beef marrow (with gremolata and a chive baguette) and the roasted butternut squash (with hazelnut, tahini, and pesto). Both were very, very satisfying. I could have used twice as much baguette to sop up all the tasty marrow and drippings. I'm rarely all about the veggies but I loved the punch of the pesto as a counterpoint to the sweetness of the squash. Would order again. Then we selected a steak tartare; damn, it was good! We've discovered there's a lot of ways to make it badly, and only a few ways to do it well, and DOSC does it well. Much joy in the steak tartare, thank you very much. There were many menu items I would've tried but for budget and belly; we even took home some of the mains to allow for a dessert flight; details later. Also, I've added pix of most things mentioned herein. What I am all about is the coffee, so much so that the 'bunny rolls her eyes at my glee (but she lovingly indulges me). I went with a compare-and-contrast coffee flight of one bean prepared two ways; AeroPress vs pour-over. It was *very* impressive, both the differences in the taste and colour. The 'bunny went with a cold brew. She was happy. I believe a caffe Americano and a bit of cream followed a little while later. The meats are the stars of the show at DOSC. I would have tried each of the "On Bread" items, the brisket, the Wagyu burger, and the "Double DOSC" (which seems like an elevated White Castle burger), but after Bianca brought out a tray with the various types of Wagyu -- seeing the cuts of meat side-by-side was impressive -- and gave us a run-down on their characteristics I was overridden with more serious-minded choices: a shank (on celeriac), a Northern Gold Angus striploin, and some A3 Snake River Wagyu lollipops. All the meats were satisfying. The 'bunny grooved on the Wagyu lollipops, I swooned over the shank (which I would never have ordered, having suffered my late father's repeated obsessive love for osso buco), and we both liked the striploin. Presentation was spot-on, each item's taste was layered and delightful to discover. A trivial aside: I had way too much fun with the volcanic black salt and the white salt flakes. There's no dessert flight on the menu, but it's a clever way to show off the versatility and range of the kitchen to enthusiastic diners; kudos on the good idea. We had, if I remember correctly, a deconstructed cheesecake, a bourbon apple pie topped with cream and candied ginger, brownies encrusted with nuts, and an ice cream with berries. I am not the dessert demon but I thought each was delectable and even better for the contrast of the different dishes. In fact, in the interests of full disclosure, DOSC was *so* good as to completely turn around our "fight night" into "date night". Thank you, DOSC. I'm grateful for your staff, your tasty delights, and your relationship balm. The rest of my YEG visit was a joy because of you and although I'm intensely bitter that it'll be at least a month or two until I sojurn again in the Paris of the North and I know that the 'bunny has already booked an engagement at DOSC next week, I won't hold it against you. I'll take out my rage on the rest of your menu upon my return. I'm looking forward to it. read more

I completely adore the vibe and interior of DOSC. Walking up the stairs and turning in, you're welcomed into the split space of cafe and dining. The light airy side of the cafe, molded from the exposed brick wall down to the velvet upholstered lounge chairs transitions amazingly to the dining sace. The dining area has more of a masculine feel, with dark leather couches playing with bold colored feature walls. The wooden beams with the additional eclectic brass piping features along the ceiling and the bar...Each detail comes together into mismatched perfection, resulting in such a cool space. With my schedule playing i've only had time to make it down for their brunch. Basically got a chance to try everything- giving you guys a pretty good idea on what my take is on this space brunch wise. Now, service every single time i've been has been amazing. The servers are always so personable and friendly. They know their menu and aren't scared of recommendations, which I'm super appreciative especially when trying new eateries. Food summary- As much as I love their space and detail to design. I really was expecting more from their dishes. With more misses than hits, presentation being the biggest aspect lacking for me. If not the the aesthetics and the vibe I dont think the I would have been back as much as I have been. Carbonated Fruit Cake - ($5) - The weirdest yet most impressive dish if id have to choose, the after taste is straight sizzly carbonation, baked into the pineapple sponge.Taste was okay, wouldn't order again though. Millet Porridge with Mango Fresh Berries - ($6) - A play at oatmeal with some added fruits to make it boujee. This was surprisingly filling and made me feel super healthy ordering. - But honestly having oatmeal and rolled oats at home.. could you really justify spending 6 dollars on it? Eh. Buttermilk Stack Pancakes - ($7) - The coconut cream is the biggest part of why I loved this dish so much I'd order this again for sure. Prime Rib Hash - ($14) - The first dish I tried, and the best so far out of all my visits was this dish alone.The meat was super tender and the paired brandy brown sauce, YES. Scoop up a little bit of that mash and you've got yourself a perfect bite. Crispy Pulled Chicken - ($13) - So deceiving; I read crispy and automatically was drooling for something satisfying like fried chicken but what was brought out was something close to resembling bird food with a side of extra dry strings of chicken. Nothing else to say but, pass. Steak and Eggs - ($15) - probably my second favorite dish out of the brunch items I've tried. They know how to cook their steaks -lemme give them props to that. Portion was surprisingly big as well. Country Sausage - ($3) - 2 Choices and we opted for the chicken cranberry sage combo, taste was unique and yummy. Came with 2 small pieces of sausage. DOSC also ended up being our NYE2019 place of choice and I got some cocktails to try. The French 1914($13) and the Ryes and Shine ($13) -I'm a pretty big cocktail fanatic, especially when they look pretty and these...looked pretty. Taste was waaaaaaaaay too strong. Didn't end up finishing mine and ended up just getting chardonnay after. Food was just like brunch visits. With only one dish standing out and presentation lacking as a whole. Hopefully things improve as they keep updating their menu. Will still give them another shot because I'm absolutely smitten with the aesthetics. read more

My significant other took me here for brunch on my birthday and I absolutely loved it! The staff were fantastic, super funny and over all very hospitable. I would come here just for the staff alone as they made it quite an enjoyable experience. The presentation and over all atmosphere was just as great! I would love to come here for dinner to see how it changes in the evening. The food was also pretty tasty and it was exciting to try all the different types of mimosas they had to offer. (Highly recommend this for a fun brunch experience!) I would note that my food was slightly on the cold side. Lastly, the female washrooms are also very nice they had bidets as well as a Sage diffuser running. read more

We came here before a playoff game for a quick dinner. The food was stellar! My friend and I had the oven brick chicken and were both super impressed with it. Easily some of the best chicken I've ever had. We both tried the non alcoholic cocktail too which was super tasty! It was a really neat place to check out. And the bathrooms are also worth checking out. Although apologies to the random girl who was in the bathroom with us while we yelled "omg Lisa! Is your toilet seat heated?!" read more

The best part about this place is the service. In particular, Celine is awesome. The second best thing is the bartenders. True mixologists for lack of a better term. I was thoroughly impressed by them. The third best thing is the women's washroom has awesome amenities like feminine hygiene products. Very progressive! Otherwise I king of went back and forth between a 3 and a 4. It's more of a 3.5. Menu is uninteresting. I read some stuff about how they were attempting to be more vegetarian friendly? I remember avoiding before because the menu wasn't my style. Then I heard through the grapevine that they had changed a few things? Maybe I heard wrong. Idk, I wouldn't recommend this place to vegetarian/vegan friends. For them I would say avoid. You can order the brussel sprouts without pancetta, that's about it. Not sure why it is being purported as friendly to vegetarians? It isn't, and that is OK! Fish Tacos were decent! Kale salad was OK, but very light on the dressing and some of the kale looked a bit off. Ambiance is meh. It's nice but didn't really have a "wow" factor for me. The crowd wasn't really my style either. I can see myself having fun here back when I was 21, maybe not at near 30. We didn't stay too long. While I appreciate the good things, it's not really me. I may come back but it's not a place I would wait in line for or fight tooth and nail to get into. read more

The old Ric's Grill has been turned into a couple different incarnations since the chain when belly up and this is by far the greatest of them. It's now the ultra cool Drunken Ox Sober Cat...an absolutely chic space with a menu and food quality to match. It's a pretty standard ala carte steakhouse menu so the price tag can get up there but trust me it's worth it. We took out booth which had a view into the open kitchen and away we go...After a couple delicious cocktails the scallop appetizer arrived. Stunningly cooked with bits of bacon and micro greens. Couldn't of asked for a better start. Now there are some crazy expensive cuts of steak available including a $172.00 Wagyu strip or ribeye...I'm sure they're delightful but a bit much for this couple. So we instead decided to try both the Northern Gold Striploin and it's buddy the Northern Gold ribeye. I mean we couldn't really decide and why not compare and contrast right? Both steaks were easily top 5-10 steaks I've ever had. If you've read some of my other reviews I've had pretty much the best YEG has to offer in the moo department and this legit was maybe the best in the city. Immaculately seasoned and cooked..amazing beef flavour. We paired it up with some buttery roasted fingerling potatoes which I can't say enough good things about and some brilliant roasted carrots with a kind of salsa verde. They were crispy yet tender, a definite deft touch from the chef..pretty much the perfect steak dinner! I was so stuffed I could only watch as my date devoured a pineapple cake..she's pretty partial to pineapple to begin with...but she was in 7th heaven! The wine selections aren't huge but certainly varied and appropriate pricing for anyone's budget. And I can't say enough about how awesome our server was. More than knowledgeable about the menu and wines, and took excellent care of us This is legit a 5 star experience...do yourself a favour and check it out, I cannot wait to go back Cheers Andy read more

DOSC is incredibly trendy and cool yet comfortable. I attended a friend's party and we were treated to some all star service in a private room. However walking through the restaurant, it was full of very comfy booths and sweet tables. It has a very interesting vibe and I'd like to be in one of those booths next time drinking the outstanding cocktails they have. The bar menu is unique and fun. I love the creat your own gin and tonic with amazing options. My martini was first class, and very smooth. Food was wonderful. My steak had a little too much fat for my liking which apparently is not the opinion of most people. That being said it was so soft I could cut it literally with a butter knife. My husband had the short rib which was the softest piece of meat ever and could serve 3 people. Will return for sure and am disappointed I haven't been here sooner! read more

Went for dinner about 5 pm on a Sunday evening, the restaurant had perhaps 4 tables occupied, and the host was unsure he could seat us. By the time we left at 630pm still plenty of empty tables. Felt a bit like a game. That being said dinner was delicious, steak was amazing although we had it from the entree menu not the steak menu , but the slight potato mash below the steak was minuscule at best. We added the Brussel sprouts for the side delicious. As well we had the charcuterie board, decent but not fantastic. read more

Our very first meal to kick-off our Canadian Rockies adventure! Edmonton is such a cute and diverse little city with lots of unique places and restaurants. We really wanted to get poutine and bone marrow and DOSC, we heard, serves really good food! The place was super charming and had a great bar! We ordered their roasted bone marrow and an order of their oxtail poutine. The bone marrow literally melts in your mouth and oh so buttery. Perfectly spread that bad boy on the toasted buttery baguette and take a huge bite. It was nothing but perfection in your MOUTH! The oxtail poutine was so flavorful. MY favorite part was the gravy, creamy and not too salty. We also tried the Wagyu Carbonara. This was really delicious - creamy with a ton of wagyu steak in carbonara sauce. We had to take half of it home because they do serve you a huge bowl of pasta (not complaining here!). The service was so friendly, the food was good. It was a great place to eat before heading to Jasper! read more

DOSC: Drunken Ox, Sober Cat. Drunken Ox, Sober Cat are the two themes for the entire restaurant. Drunken Ox for the bar and lounge side. Sober Cat for the relaxed, coffee shop side. For this particular visit, I sat in the Drunken Ox bar side in a big booth by the kitchen. If you like small sharing plates and meat, then this is the spot for you. I don't usually eat meat, but when in Alberta... can't say no to that 'Berta beef. I was with a group of 3 and we ordered and shared the following dishes: + Sweetbreads (kind of reminded me of popcorn chicken. One of my faves!) + Bone marrow (I did not eat the bone marrow, but my fellow diners really seemed to enjoy it) + Tenderloin carpaccio (Comes w/ bread, olives, and a spread - think charcuterie board compliments) + Gnocchi (That butternut cream.... *drool* - Tied with the sweetbreads for being my fave) + Mushroom (I don't usually like mushrooms... but I liked these mushrooms!) + Brussel Sprouts (There's something about ordering brussel sprouts in a restaurant. It ALWAYS tastes better than what I make at home.) + Beets (Another favourite, just a little behind the sweetbreads and gnocchi) Everything was delicious. All the dishes were beautifully plated and the flavours left my tastebuds wanting more. Portions were a bit small for what we were paying, but when you come here you're paying for the quality and the ambiance. To drink, I got a lavender oat milk latte, and it was one of the tastiest lattes I've ever had. I did not partake in any cocktail drinking this time around, unfortunately, but if I'm back in Edmonton, I'd come here again to try some of their creative drinks. If you're looking for delicious food and cocktails, head to DOSC. Guaranteed you'll leave in a food-and-cocktail-induced coma. read more

Walking into DOSC, I entered a different world. From the luxurious yet quirky ambiance to the impeccable personalized service to the washrooms of the future, I was in heaven. I love having a lot of seating choices and there were elegant leather booths and cozy coffee tables and casual high bar tables and comfy couches under a sparkly chandelier. I chose the booth, which had a perfect view of the open concept kitchen and the bartender shaking up fancy drinks. If you are lucky enough to get Bianca, you will understand why I say she is hands down one of the best in the industry. She hails from Australia and I would say is their best export. She was ultra knowledgeable and passionate about everything DOSC. She took her time with us, giving us her best. We left feeling like we had made a new friend. I almost got lost in the washrooms. Besides the artful decor including wall plants, marble, and copper, I found bodyspray, toothpicks, mouthwash, all the things the ladies need. Not to mention that heated toilet seat and bidet. Because of the extended time I was away from the table, my partner thought I had been on my phone Candy Crushing while on the throne. But actually, I was marveling at the numerous "shower" options for the lady garden. There was even a little shelf above the toilet paper roll so you could put your phone since you will be too busy with the buttons on the bidet to get stuck on social media. DOSC have thought of everything. The food is in a class of its own. Not only have they perfected the plating and presentation, but the quality ingredients are top-notch. The level of TLC given to the star attraction, their steaks translate into the most tender buttery meat that's ever crossed my lips. This place is made for people who love meat or are eating keto/paleo. Just speak your desire, the staff will find a way to make it happen. Drunken Ox Sober Cat is where culinary dreams come true. This is my favorite Edmonton space by far. I can't wait to go back. Pro Tip: Come on a Sunday when street parking is free read more

Took my buddy for his birthday dinner and his first time to DOSC (one of my favourite hidden gems). The Wagyu sampler, delicious Steak Tartar, Brussels Sprouts and Brant Lake Wagyu Ribeye were all incredible! Starting with our greeting from the Host & Hostess to our server Kendal, they all delivered a much appreciated and delightful experience! Succeeding in creating a friendly atmosphere, fantastic service and a much needed change from the spotty service I have grown accustomed to lately in our post CoVid reality. With a creative and diverse cocktail selection, stylish atmosphere and ambiance this is the place to go to if you find yourself craving an out of this world steak! The only drawback of the evening was that the Oilers couldn't pull off a much needed win against the Avs, next year. Until then, try the Tartar!! read more

Drunk Ox Sober Cat... I've driven by here a couple times and the name intrigued me. I came for dinner and it was easy to make reservations with opentable as well as make changes to the date... I was aiming for a non-event night as parking can be outrageous in the area if there was a concert or hockey game happening at Roger's Place. I even got a confirmation call in the daytime of my reservation including a verification inquiry on potential food allergies which is pretty thoughtful. I've been at this location when it was formerly a burger joint and although the bones of the interior is the same, they have revamped the space into an inviting, contemporary and industrial atmosphere. The café bakery area is quite distinct from the lounging and dining area which makes it easy to suit a number of patrons. I have to give a shout out to the washrooms here...they have a Japanese style toilet (if you know what that's about) and the counters have basic toiletries & essentials to use; like you were at someone's home! It wasn't busy on a weekday and service was constant & attentive and friendly without being rushed. I have to say the main attraction of the night was the menu. Food comes out quickly and it's absolutely scrumptious from start to finish. It's the kind of food that haunts you until your return visit. We had the beef marrow appetizer, oxtail poutine, wagyu katsu burger, beef brisket. It was so.much.food. They do pack leftovers though which is great. I'm a little sorry that I didn't try the wagyu steaks because that seemed to be a star feature of this place, but it's also a reason to come back. I'm now also enticed by the daytime menu & cafe section of this place and I'm glad a place like this has graced Edmonton with its presence! read more
