Some bulletpoints because theres so much to say! - hubby loved his So Real cocktail. He said "would drink 10." - Dungeness Crab Bruschetta was so so good! We recommended it to the table next to us, and they liked it too! - Mushroom soup was so smooth and delicious! Perfect mushroom flavor without tasting like dirt. - Beef Tounge was not for me (I really hate capers ). Also was not a fan, personally, of Blood Sausage. Hubby loved both so if thats your thing, you'd probably really like them! - The rest of the Asado Argentina for Two was AMAZING! - I put the chimicurri on everything and they were so nice and brought me an extra bowl of it AND extra togo!! Thank you!! - The wine selection was incredible! I had the '21 Sangiovese and it was so so good. - Our server was very familiar with the menu and gave us such a good description of the specials and each dish we asked about! - The rest of the staff was very nice and they took away dishes and cleaned our table (literally wiped away crumbs) from previous ones so quick. - The overall vibe was so cool! I really want to sit outside next time we visit! I will be recommending this place to everyone from now on! read more

Oh, the joy of Ox. It's become a staple -- the kind of place that quietly works its way into your rotation and then suddenly holds weight in your personal ranking whether you meant for it to or not. As of right now, it sits at number one for my dad and a few of my friends alike. For me? I'm not ready to crown it just yet. I need a few more visits, a few more comparisons against my usual haunts. But it's up there. No question. When I first moved to Portland almost a year ago, this was one of the spots that kept coming up. Highly recommended, spoken about with a kind of confidence that usually means it's either overhyped or the real deal. We went for Mother's Day. Then again for Father's Day. My parents loved it -- the kind of love that doesn't need explanation -- and honestly, I get it. The service is immaculate. Thoughtful, attentive, but never hovering. You feel taken care of in a way that's increasingly rare -- like the front of house actually wants you to have a good time, not just turn the table. There's a real sense of pride in what they're doing. The team feels aligned, almost symbiotic. Front of house lifting up back of house, back of house delivering in a way that makes that support feel earned. Whether that relationship is perfect behind the scenes or not, it reads as seamless from the outside. And the food -- it's just excellent. Cooked perfectly, consistently, without unnecessary theatrics. No foams, no gels, no overworked plating trying to prove something. Just honest, confident cooking over fire. The kind of food that reminds you how good simple things can be when they're done right. It's indulgent in the best way. The kind of meal that might even tempt a few vegans back to the dark side -- at least for a night. It's not cheap. Let's be clear about that. I don't go here casually, and I'm not pretending I do. Thanks, Mom and Dad. But it's the kind of place that's worth saving up for -- not just for the food, but for the experience. For some people, this might be a random Wednesday night. For most of us, it's something you plan for. And when you do, it delivers. It's special without making a big deal about being special. And that's exactly why it works. read more

Ox - Pickle Martini - Argentine Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The food is delicious! However, don't believe them when they say it's sharing size. I don't know who you're supposed to share with, but the sides are not sharable to me.. unless you're only sharing with one other person. Good thing we "over ordered", or so we thought. We tried the following dishes: - Half dozen PNW Oysters - Delish! Super fresh! Fun fact: this was the first time in years since I had raw oysters (I only like my oysters raw, but last time was not a good time - if you get what I mean) and glad to say these were super fresh and yummy! - Beef skirt steak (large) - 20oz sounds like a lot, but split amongst 4, it surprisingly wasn't much... came with chimichurri.. highly recommend - Grilled Maitake Mushrooms and Zucchini - I only tried a small piece from my friend's meal but this was super good especially if you love mushrooms! - Flash Fried Brussel Sprouts and Delicata Squash - it came with the most delicious yogurt sauce. I'd get this again and not share! - Spinach and Ricotta Gnudi- also surprisingly delicious. I don't know why I broke it up. Everything was good. My only complaint would be that for the price, the dishes weren't very big. As for desserts, we shared the hazelnut torte, vanilla bean tres leches cake, and the sticky toffee chocolate pudding cake. They were very different but all so good. You really can't go wrong. If you're into pickle and vodka, I hear the Dirty Grandma Agnes comes highly recommended. I'd definitely come back, as everything we tried was delicious. Definitely not a cheap meal, but we were celebrating so it's all good! read more

Ox is a James Beard award-winning Argentine steakhouse and a must try spot. To get here, they do have a small parking lot or street parking around the area. Reservations are highly recommended so make sure to plan accordingly. Inside, they have a very intimate vibe that is dimly lit. For their menu, they have a range of appetizers, entrees, and wines to choose from. Wifey and I ended up going with the Tripe & Octopus for our appetizer and the Asado Argentino for Two as our entree. Everything that we had was delicious and the portion sizes were very generous. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Definitely consider this spot for your next date night or special celebration. There is a reason why this spot has over 1,000+ positive reviews! read more

I'd been long overdue to give Ox a try and my only regret is that I didn't go there sooner. The food was outstanding and I think the ribeye was probably the best I've ever had. We ordered it rare, they cooked it perfectly, it came with a delectable sauce and I would not have changed a thing about it. We started our dinner with a half dozen oysters and the beef tongue a la vinagreta which was phenomenal. We ordered the radicchio/romaine salad to go with the ribeye which was an ideal pairing. We were satiated at the end of the meal with no room for dessert. The ambiance was dim-lit and cozy. Waitstaff were professional and attentive. read more

Had a wonderful meal here, the restaurant is cozy and the wood fired grill is in the open to observe which I thought was fun! Was reassured that they have taken measures like dedicated fryers to make sure celiacs could still enjoy their menu. We got the carrots, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, rib eye and pork chop. We had lots of food left over. I felt confident that staff was very sure that there would be no cross contamination and I didn't have any symptoms post meal. read more

I absolutely loved everything about my meal at Ox. A good friend brought us here during a visit to Portland and expectations were so high. Not only did they exceed our expectations but they set a high bar for all the other restaurants on our list. Service was excellent and ambiance was very warm and inviting. My highlights from the meal -- chowder with bone marrow-- was unbelievable and so flavorful. Oddly the pork chop was fantastic and overpowered the steak. The only items I would skip heirloom burrata salad and halibut since they did not shine through .. but we did order an obscene amount of food. I would put Ox on the list of must visit if in the area. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Got the ribeye, it was insane and delicious and yes, it does take 45 minutes but we were prepared and ready for the wait. We came to celebrate a birthday and they decorated a plate for us. Service was great, fast and friendly. The potatoes were good, but skip the artichoke hearts - they were greasy. read more

Yum. What a treat this place is. Cozy and comfortable. Impressive to see. Great place to relax and enjoy a superb meal. Service is the best of the best. Extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The food is crazy good. Ox has been at this for some time, and it just keeps getting better and better. And it's not all just heavy meats (though those are superb), but they have a varied menu. Worth a visit any time you can get a reservation. read more

One of the best dining experiences I have had in the Portland area in a very long time. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the mood for an elevated steakhouse night with classic Portland flair. The first "wow" moment for me was when we walked in and were greeted for our reservation- coat check was complementary! A small gesture but something that made an impression. Our water glasses were never empty, literally never. Every single person working was so knowledgeable and welcoming. My mother and I came in together for a special celebration night, and celebrated we were. Stars of the show food wise- clam chowder with bone marrow and flank steak **chefs kiss**. Will be sure to visit again! read more

Well we couldn't get a reservation, so we thought we'd take the slim chance that we could make it in if we got there early. Surprised and thrilled we made in! It was the one place my son wanted to go to while I was up here. First I want to say that EVERYONE here was charming, helpful and informative. Even as it started to get packed they all performed together helpfully and efficiently, always someone there when we needed them. The atmosphere with bare brick wall and grill fire was comfy. Very loud, though as it filled Here's what we had: Dirty Grandma Agnes Belvedere Vodka, Grandma Agnes' Pickles, Dolin Dry Vermouth: $15 kind of like dirty martini, only with pickle juice and a delicious dill pickle spear - 5* La Yapa Rye Whiskey, Fernet Branca, Velvet Falernum, Grenadine, Lemon: $15 this was my son's. A little sweet for me, but good- 4* Half Dozen pnw Oysters* on the Half Shell horseradish cocktail sauce, dill pickle mignonette, thai chile ponzu, lemon: $24. Incredibly fresh, briny, big. The chili ponzu, was too hot and overpowered the oyster, so we used the ther two.- 5* Asado Argentino for Two grilled short rib, house chorizo & morcilla sausages, skirt steak*, sweetbreads, fried potatoes*, green salad Beef Ribeye Steak* 16 oz : $135 Everything was good, with the skirt steak and sweetbreads being exceptional. Morcilla was a little dry and they were chintzy on the sweetbreads. Although it looked a little small for two we didn't quite finish. Patatas bravas perfect with an excellent aioli and the salad which included red onions and avocado had a bland dressing, but a little salt perked it up. Definitely a repeater, though obviously high end. Food: 5/5 service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/4 Intangibles:4.5 Overall:5/5 read more

Maybe one of my new favorite restaurants. They were able to accommodate a walk in for two upon opening, with a 15 minute wait. However, the walk-in for three behind us was going to have to wait up to two hours on a Saturday night. You'll want a reservation. SCENE Super cozy - they have a blazing fire grill and ambient lightings. There's bar seating near the grill and another bar at the actual full bar. They have tables in the back, front, and outdoor seating. FOOD I very much enjoyed my meal here. The portions are pretty large and served family style. They recommended about five items total for two people which felt spot on. We started with an amuse bouche - potato leek soup followed by a large bowl of clam chowder with smoked bone marrow. This was a lovely clam chowder; rich but not too heavy on the cream - not as smoky as I expected. I probably could've ate this with a baguette and been happy, but I'm greedy so we ordered more. We moved onto the crab bruschetta, which was delicious and fresh: four pieces of toast with a mountain of crab and avocado and radish - a really delicious vinaigrette to boot. Next came the fried potatoes with a horseradish, aïoli, and dill; a beet salad I could eat every day; and maple, glazed, heirloom carrots with truffle pistachios, and chèvre. TIP: They do half orders if you want to order two things, but you can also do a half order if you want to order three things - that's what we did. I highly recommend half order so you can try a lot of things. The portions are huge - you likely won't miss the other half. Our main courses were phenomenal. I highly recommend the ribeye, but be sure to order it the way you like. Mine was a little bloodier than I like so we sent it back no problem. 16 ounces of meat is a lot to me, but it was so good I was happy to take them leftovers. I'd also recommend the Alaskan halibut served on the bone. It's garlicky and lemony bright the way I like it. I had a sip of a cocktail and it was delicious. My glass of pinot went perfect with the meal. I honestly knew the beef was gonna be amazing. It's Argentinian. But the dessert was a fantastic way to end the meal - vanilla bean tres leches with dulce de leche and strawberry - perfect for sharing. SERVICE We had a couple of servers and all were really great about making us feel taken care of. We didn't know they did half orders so that was nice to learn and allowed us to try more than we intended. The bartender took our dessert order. I feel like this is the kind of place you go for a special occasion, but we just went because reviews from friends and family have been amazing. I feel like I'm the last person to try OX which was my birthday pick in 2020 right before the shutdown- they canceled my reservation and I never rescheduled. Anyway, long overdue - bravo!! read more

Typical fine dining restaurant with a dark and moody ambiance. Service was nice, they would clear our crumbs after taking away plates to keep the table clean. Unfortunately, they did forget to put in our drink orders and we didn't receive our cocktails until we were pretty much done eating but we still enjoyed them. I got the Ox Blood cocktail and I loved it! The tomato and burrata salad was a necessity to balance out an otherwise heavy meal. The flash fried green beans were good at first but became a little too overpowering for me. The sauce was really tangy and sweet but my friend enjoyed it a lot. A lot of really great textures in that dish. The ribeye had good flavor but wasn't the most tender. The standout dish for our table was the maple glazed pork. It was so tender and juicy with a light sweetness that didn't overpower. Overall, a really great meal if you're looking for something high end! read more

Y'all. We have NEVER had a bad meal or service at Ox. This place is off the hook, they came back better than ever after the fire that took them out of commission for a while. I love that the meal always starts with a little taster of their butternut squash soup-it's perfect for the start of fall with spices and it's just like a warm hug on a perfectly crisp fall day. I wish I could buy an entire gallon and eat it every night! We always get the skirt steak cause it's perfectly cooked as they state between medium and medium rare. The flake salt they sprinkle across adds a depth of flavor that's unparalleled. The spinach and ricotta gnudi has brown butter almonds and a Gorgonzola sauce- are you kidding me? That shit was a crunchy creamy delight. We also tried the mushrooms and Swiss chard for the first time and I am so glad we did. Specifically the trio of the mushrooms with the skirt steak and the 2020 Tito Zuccardi Malbec/Cab Franc. The wine brought out the mushroom umami flavors with the earthiness of the steak and it was the perfect pairing. We never leave ourselves room for dessert but it is birthday time and they brought us each a scoop of the most divine chocolate ice cream with sesame seeds and crunchy honeycomb. I devoured it. I was not hungry but the chocolate flavor was strong, and the honeycomb was sweet and the sesame brought an unexpected, and welcomed flavor! It was a special treat! Being small and intimate you can see the wood fire oven and the volume is low so you can have an easy conversation at your table. Staff are attentive without being overbearing, and are all friendly and genuinely feel that they are happy you're there. Nothing but love for you, Ox. Thank you for reopening after the fire, we are so grateful you're back! read more

One of our favorite special occasion restaurants. Always delicious with top-notch service.

Outstanding! I started with a half portion of the little gem salad and then had a medium-rare filet mignon with some red wine. It's one of those salads that makes you think you'd be a lot healthier if salad was always this good. And the steak? Perfectly cooked. (Seems like they switched from grass to grain-fed beef but lowered the price when they did.) And the sauce they use appears to vary over time, keeping it interesting for any regulars. Someone sitting next to me complained that their steak came out lukewarm. The staff was extremely apologetic and attentive to the complaint and at least three people said sorry. I think the server, cook, and manager. (I kind of wanted to tell the old guy that's its steak. It isn't supposed to burn your tongue when you take a bite but I digress. Lol) "In this day and age, I'm more impressed with good service than I am with good food. Ox has both." -feel free to quote this Add in a dim, candlelit dining experience with creaky floors and you've got yourself a winner. My only complaint? They didn't take the tres leches away from me and allowed me to eat the entire dessert by myself. read more

Such a great steakhouse. The food is consistent, the service is wonderful, and we always leave thinking about our next visit. They start off dinner with complimentary soups that are fantastic.

This one has been on my list for quite some time and I finally got to try it out for a friends birthday. Loved the ambiance, and decor. Plenty of plants hanging, light was dim but bright enough to see. The service was excellent. Staff was attentive and on top of things for the whole evening. We were brought a delicious leek soup to start that was incredible. We got the Asado Argentine for two, along with clam chowder and few other items. The clam chowder was knock your socks off amazing! One of the best I've had. Super light, not thick and heavy. A must try. I thought the potatoes would be what I loved, but they were a bit thick for my taste, but definitely still worth the try. All of the meats we got were cooked perfect! Overall, we would definitely come again. I'm dying to try the Cowboy Ribeye. If I could give a half star, this would def be 4.5. read more

My husband took me to Ox for my 45th birthday at the beginning of December, because if I'm aging, I'm doing it with premium beef, strong cocktails, and good ambience. From the jump, Jen (Jennifer if you're being respectful) understood the assignment. Impeccable service. Warm, confident, attentive without hovering. And as people of color in a fine-dining space, let me say this plainly: there was no weird energy, no side-eye, no "prove you belong here" nonsense. Just excellence. We noticed. We appreciated. We tipped accordingly. Now the food. Listen. That beef tartar special? Dangerous. The kind of dish that makes you sit up straighter and mind your manners. The filet mignon was cooked with authority. The endive salad had no business being that good. The potatoes were rich, comforting, and clearly raised right. We ordered half the menu and not a single plate came out lacking discipline or flavor. Here's how you know Ox really did its thing: my husband's birthday is a month after mine, and we always try somewhere new. But between Jen's service and that menu, Ox said, "You'll be back." And yes. We will, in fact, be back this weekend. Hands down the best dining experience we've had in Portland in years. Ox understands quality, respect, and how to treat grown folks with grown palates. Five stars. No notes. read more

Love this spot! Great level of service and while it's a small restaurant it didn't feel overly loud or crammed. Both fun and impressive that they cook everything over the open fire in the kitchen area. Everything we ordered was amazing. We ordered a beef empanada, Dungeness crab bruschetta, smoked bone marrow clam chowder, 20 oz skirt steak with chimichurri, a medley of trumpet mushrooms and asparagus and, of course, had to find room for chocolate olive oil cake with a rum marscapone and chocolate sauce. This was absolutely too much food- we leaned in for the bday celebration and ended up with leftovers and stuffed bellies. Would love to return to try more of the menu! read more

Went here to meetup with friends. You have to make reservations way in advance with this place. Its really good service and everything we all ordered was delicious n spectacular. The bone marrow clam shower is probably one of the best ive ever had and its different. It doesnt make my stomach sick as sometimes with dairy I feel sick but with this I did not. The steaks we ordered turned out perfect and the sides was good. I see why people come here and why you must make reservations here. The ambiance is clean and brick dark moody lighting as it made it felt nice n romantic which I love. This is one of the best steak houses I would say in Portland for sure. read more

My friend set up this prix fixe menu here at the Ox because there were 16 guys having dinner. The restaurant is a beautiful restaurant but because we were such a large party we had our meal in a private dining area which has its own bar and restroom. We had our own bartender and server serving us. This restaurant is well known for its Argentinian cuisine especially the beef dishes. We had about 13 courses including dessert which admittedly was quite overwhelming. The evening started off with a shot of tequila followed by a glass of Argentinian Melbac wine. Most of the dishes were very good but the item that I enjoyed the most was the grilled beef ribeye. It was tasty without being too salty and it was cooked perfectly to a medium rare. I think the next time I visit this restaurant I would like to try their dishes off the menu instead. read more

I would travel back to Portland just to eat here again. Great food! Great service! I didn't have a reservation so there was a wait for a table but I was able to wait at their lounge to have a drink. Chatted with the bartender who was really nice. Ordered the flank steak and clam chowder. The clam chowder was some of the best in my life!! The bone marrow addition was such a delicious surprise! I could eat it every single day. The flank steak was cooked to perfection. I love they include a homemade chimchurri but didn't care for it. The steak was delicious on its own. read more

A perfect anniversary- we opened our meal with a complimentary amuse bouche from the chefs of potato soup in a tea cup. I said "this is going to be a good night". The service from Vivek and their staff was incredible and consistent. The wood burning cooking apparatus (pardon my lack of terminology) in the center of the restaurant provided a fiery glow and impressive display of culinary excellence. The 20 oz skirt steak (medium rare) was perfect. The chimichurri is on the mellower side and the bites float around the mouth before easily disappearing. For me, the clam chowder (shell-on) with bone marrow (bone-in) was next level. It was steroids era baseball 500 ft home run. The presentation alone stunned me, scrape the bone marrow free and leave the smoky bone to flavor the best soup I have ever had. It's a huge serving too! All food is meant to be shared, including the endive, blue cheese and candied pecan salad. I was so impressed by the pecans (a nut I typically pass on); their crunch w the blue cheese was excellent on the endive as it provided textural and acidic reprieve after richer courses. My man loved the empanada with fontina cheese, he said, "it was a perfect appetizer- cheesy in all the right ways, but not too much". Drinks were lovely and the mocktail with gin, rosemary, grapefruit and egg white foam was a jewel in the crown of Ox. Ox is pricey, but not so much so that it shouldn't be on every list. Their portions alone make them fairly comparable to any top restaurant in Portland. They spoiled us with a little anniversary Carmel cookie.. we have to come back for dessert and more steak and chowder!! Thanks Ox! read more

This is a perfect spot for a special occasions. We arrived a bit before our reservation and were able to sit in the attached bar and have snacks and cocktails while we waited - I highly recommend the snappy dresser cocktail.

Had a great dinner at Ox. We arrived before our 5pm reservation. A woman came outside and asked if she could help us. When we told her we had a 5pm reservation, she let us know they weren't open yet, but that there was a bar on the property that we could go to for drinks. Check-in was easy and we were seated immediately. We were seated by a big window facing MLK. If I go back again, I would ask not to sit near the window as there was a "show" going on on MLK that I did not want to see. The food was delicious! We ordered the Tripe & Octopus and the Beef Tongue to start. The Beef Tongue was a little salty in my opinion, but the dish was good overall. The Tripe & Octopus dish was hearty and delicious. The tripe was melt in your mouth good and the octopus was cooked to perfection. We also had the Beet Salad and Sautéed Garlic Prawns, both delicious. The dressing on the beet salad was one of my favorites. The prawns were cooked well and I would consider it a comfort dish. We also ordered the Beef Skirt Steak and Albacore Tuna. It was served with the house Chimichurri sauce on the side. I loved the Albacore Tuba as a light option to go with the heavier dishes we had. My dining partner enjoyed the steak without the chimichurri. I loved the chimichurri on the tuna. The service was good. Staff were attentive but talked too much in my opinion. It was initially not crowded when we arrived and the dining area slowly filled while we were there. Space was tight and I didn't care for the small space. I would definitely go back. If you haven't tried it, check it out. I regret not ordering the clam chowder. I saw it come out to a few tables and it looked delicious. read more

Wow, just simply a wow experience. From the start to the end, service ambience drinks and food. We started w tenderloin steak tartar and oysters, delicious. Then we ordered the lamb and the ribeye steak, delicious. Although in hindsight should have ordered the lamb MR rather then the MW as was suggested. The carrots and the mushroom sides was tasty. We drank the pear and the ox cocktails yummmy. And finished off with the sorbet. It had pineapple coconut and delicious coco tapioca--that was divine. Unfortunately I forgot our blonde waitress' name she was perhaps European? But really attentive and professional. 10/10. Now I understand the hype. Will return.

Check their menu online before going; there are seasonal choices, the menu changes, and it might not be in your price range. Normally, I don't give a five-star for a first experience. We had a party of three, and tried a sufficient amount of their menu that makes me confident in recommending Ox. Here are my reasons: 1) Formal dining, correctly implemented 2) Fresh ingredients, very artful use of spicing 3) Every single dish was good to great; one superlative They a world-class dining experience with a PDX flavor. We enjoyed their halibut appetizer and entree very much. We tried their gnudi, which had surprising flavoring-- perhaps the only mild dish. We rarely do desserts, but theirs are very good, especially the sorbets (and there's a surprise). This isn't inexpensive, and quality rarely is. We spent over $100/diner. It was worth every dime. It's rare to experience an exceptional meal like this, and it was a splurge. Worth Every Dime. They can handle large parties, and the service is professional without being intrusive. There is a large wine/liquor selection, but we didn't try any. There is onsite free parking, an outdoor garden, and a professional demeanor. Come hungry after your lottery win. read more

Ox is such a treat! I have been wanting to try this place since my brother moved to Portland over ten years ago and our dinner experience was incredible. I kick myself for not remembering our servers name, but he was truly phenomenal and contributed greatly to our time there. The food is outstanding!

这里有一套特制的阿根廷烧烤设备 烈火燃木成碳木碳顺势掉下烤笼火碳慢慢烘烤制肉 烤肉耗时长做好等待一小时的准备 【牛肚章鱼】标准菜 但是番茄炖料足够好吃 两者搭配不常见的，事实上也就只是二者相加的简单公式：蕃茄芸豆炖牛肚味鲜浓郁 牛肚入口化 +几段碳香烤章鱼 面包有点问题，油垢味明显。后续换了一盘稍微好一点点，怀疑用油变质。 面包本身佐食没有很搭，面包口感发酵感都很足 碳烤痕迹重，很抢夺味感口感的注意力。 这道菜的质感更适合Tortilla/米饭或者玉米片 意面也可以 【Clam Chowder】 好吃推荐 达到预期 此间餐厅的明星特色 白人舒适圈里的东西，基本元素全用鲜食表现。 吃得出来的新鲜风味，浓鲜不腻 口感丰富 自然爽脆。Jalapeno的青辣味意外非常融合完美，解腻又增加层次，清香味融汤完全被释放，提升了整个高度。 蛤蜊口感没得说 嫩得不可方物 鲜嫩甜 bone marrow是好吃的 不过这道菜来说 形大于味道 属于高级的装饰物 【阿根廷烤肉拼盘】 好坏参半 换上加热的瓷餐盘 ｛skirt steak｝好吃 肉质非常好，细嫩清香 柔软多汁 够油润，很敢放盐。同时搭配的chimichurri没有过度调味，以酒醋味为主，佐吃很不错，这点是有想过的。 ｛小牛胸腺｝好吃 质量好 做法极好保留了原始风味 牛香气非常足 外焦里润带肠感肝感 内脏中的内脏 ｛血肠｝ 不咋地 内馅粉滋滋的 想象一下纯熟血的碎屑 有辣椒小茴香孜然风味 陷糜散在口腔里 水吱吱 肠皮脱开嚼不断 有点恶心的趣味 风味略像辣条 ｛牛肋骨｝ 还不错 油润糯软多汁，可惜是横切汁水的保留没有到做好，烧烤的牛排骨还是更适合顺着骨头竖切 大口吃，小块咸口排骨让人吃得不够过瘾，总体还是好吃的，但比skirt steak逊色不少 ｛香肠｝ 有点问题 有小部分中间内馅，吃起来带有发酵的酸味，肉可能有败，后厨否认了此事。调味可以，油香肠香发挥的都很好。口感差，很细碎的肉压到极端紧实。自制香肠做的比较靠近工业香肠。 ｛配菜部分｝土豆味浓郁绵软细腻 焦香足 表皮湿润 调味柔和 非常惊讶的好吃；沙拉还行 酸酸的 下次再吃肯定不会吃拼盘了 想吃小牛胸腺可以点Grilled mushroom zucchini 加点 skirt steak和shortribs单点性价比更高可以多吃点其他想吃的，拼盘感觉是次贷package 【sautéed mushroom & onion】 有趣的菜 蛋黄泡随搅拌消失，留下一点点蛋香 蘑菇味保留的很极致，菇味从内到外饱满充盈，一颗水灵灵的淡盐原味菇粒 好吃 水分锁的紧 像蒸熟的一样饱和 总结： 调酒水平一般 三杯不同风格鸡尾酒全部偏甜调 有传统也有创意 好吃的东西是足够好 不过食物出现的问题也都是硬伤 总体来说除去一点点的不愉快是值得专门去的餐厅 read more

Great service. Mundane atmosphere. Disappointing food. Dry morcillo, VERY dry halibut, passable but pricey ribeye, decent sides (mushrooms were better than gnudi), terrific cocktails, disappointing wine pricing, feel free to skip dessert. read more
