Ox restaurant is in my top 5 for steakhouses - ever! My only complaint is portion size - but you don't have to eat everything in front of you - so that's solved. However - I wish I hadn't ordered the bleu cheese salad because it was good but I was sooooo full and I wanted to enjoy my salmon. The French onion risotto was absolutely amazing. I had never tasted such a combination of flavors and I found myself dipping my spoon in this dish even when I had given up on my main meal due to being full. It was just that good. My husband and I do not speak Spanish and we had no trouble ordering and asking for recommendations. Everyone was super helpful and attentive. If visiting Santiago, ensure you make at least one trip to Ox. I made my reservation on line via email. It's in a nice residential area and a quick uber ride to the city. Consider doing a 1pm lunch and then going to the cathedral square for the free walking tour at 3:30. You'll want to walk off your meal! read more

Ox is a nice "see and be seen" restaurant in the Vitacura neighborhood of Santiago. If the weather is nice and you're able to plan ahead, I'd recommend reserving a table on the patio. Alas, we decided to go to Ox at the last minute on a Saturday night, and all the al fresco tables were already booked, but there were plenty of tables inside. We ordered a round of pisco sours to start - delicious and refreshing. A plate of warm bread soon followed. For starters, I ordered the blue cheese salad, which turned out to be enormous, but I found it to be long on iceberg lettuce and short on toppings. Definitely enough for two people to share - wish I'd known that. For dinner I got the bone-in ribeye steak. It was one of the most beautiful steaks I've ever seen - check out the picture. It was served with a couple different kinds of salt, which I'd recommend skipping, because the steak had plenty of flavor to stand on its own. Although the steak was done just right, unfortunately about a third of it was gristle and fat. I don't mind some fat on a ribeye, but in this case it was excessive. The restaurant has a nice wine list. We ordered a bottle of Chilean red, which was beautifully presented and a great complement to the steaks. As a joke, our waitstaff brought over an oversize bottle of wine to place on our table and offered to take our pictures. I guess it was pretty obvious we were tourists. As another whimsical touch, a dish of complimentary cotton candy was delivered to our table at the end of the meal. Overall, a good experience, although a bit pricey for what we got. read more

This is probably the best steak house in Chile. The service was spectacular and the food was amazing! All their prime cuts are "bone-in" which gives the meat mire flavor, I recommend that you ask your waiter for guidance as they know what cuts are the most flavorful and what wine to pair with them, excellent, excellent dining experience. Definitely 5 stars!!!! Enjoy. read more

I had no idea this jewel of a restaurant existed until I came here for a friends birthday. As the name might imply, this hip restaurant is focused on meat. They have all different cuts, preparations and types to fulfill even the most carnivores of us (or turn those not-so carnivores into fanatics). Located in the heart of Vitacura, Ox is one of the top restaurants in Santiago to grab a great quality steak. With their large windows, modern design and first-class ingredients and taste, no wonder Ox is everyone's first choice. Despite getting somewhat lost on my way here (and in turn, arriving very late), as I walked in, I was welcomed with a smile and shown straight to the table where my friends were sitting. The staff quickly came to take my order making sure my dish would arrive with the others. While we waited, I ordered one of their many great cocktails. They also have a wide variety of wine (take a look at their large wine selection behind the bar). Because we were a big group, I was able to see a variety of their dishes, each had a simple and clean presentation (much like the design of Ox itself) and everything was cooked to perfection. Ox ended the evening perfectly by bringing us complimentary cotton candy and a selection of delicious artesanal ice creams. Because it was a friends birthday, they also brought a slice of cake so we could sing happy birthday. Tip: They open late (8pm), so if you want a nice atmosphere with a group of people come around 9pm. On the weekends they fill up so make a reservation. They serve some seafood options, but their specialty is meat. Try the Wagyu. read more

Ox Restaurant - Algodon y una seleccion de helados artesanales - el bajativo del Ox. - Steakhouses Near Me - Santiago, RM

Bad! Bad! Bad! If you are American and don't speak English I am warning you now !! Walked in and the two hostess that greeted us literally had a scowl on their face the whole evening. Being in Chile for the last week every restaurant that we have been to they have gone out of their way to do back flips to ensure that we have a great experience and understand the menu. Ox was the exception No one in the entire restaurant including the manager did anything to make our experience better. Our server Rafael did not speak English. After making several attempts to get a server who could speak English to our table it was never to be. Rafael just kept making the night worse. Not only did he not make any attempts to get another server to the table to help him when taking our order he didn't write it down and forgot several appetizers. Never an apology nothing even after complaining and telling him to tell the manager the manager never came to the table to work things out completely ignored us I will say this again: The manager completely ignored us !!!! Rafael never told us about sauces for our steak Rafael never came around to give refills on Iced tea Rafael really could be sued for server malpractice Rafael was not attentive to her table nor was anybody else in that restaurant. My dad asked for his steak Med well and came out raw. My steak was not hot Never got cotton candy that is supposed to come after dinner as complementary but I just realized after reading other yelp reviews. I definitely be telling the concierge at our hotel about our experience and to warn other future possible customers. I'll be flying back to LA this week and I will let everybody that I know about my experience at Ox !!! Shame on you Ox !!!!!! not valuing Americans and appreciating that they can spend money but instead of ignoring them and not giving world-class service to anybody that walks in your restaurant !!!!! read more

The service was spot-on excellent. The ceviche was a stood as any, anywhere in the world. The steaks were just OK. We ordered wagyu and they were prepared perfectly but not special. Specifically the were so thin it took away from the treat of eating the purported best $50 steak. Next time we got with prime N.Y. strip, which no doubt would have been as perfectly prepared and more enjoyable. The sides like all steakhouses were oversized to charge; the hash browns and creamed corn (with blue cheese) were over the top perfect and delicious. The recommended Chilean red wine was affordable and delicious too. Highly recommend, but go with Prime not wagyu! read more

Steak house Ox has offerings of fine wine, seafood, and innovative dishes, but whats important is they offer the best steaks in Santiago. The level of attention and care is top notch, making sure you feel welcome and leave satisfied. Take advantage of the experience, as theres few like it.

Overall: the restaurant was just OK. The positives were in the service and flavor of the steak. Very attentive wait staff who all spoke English (great for a gringo). The steak also has a great flavor (despite being very big). The negatives were the blue cheese salad (almost inedible), the wine situation (out of my first three requests and the alternative suggested in the end was quite average for the price), and the steak temperature cooking (medium turned to raw quite quickly). While all the other tables were automatically served cotton candy, we also had to ask for it. read more

Food really good, nice and cozy ambiance, service is good, but very, very slow. I had the filet, very good with the papas salteadas, excellent. To prepare the palate for the dessert they bring you cotton candy!!! I had the churros with Nutella, manjar and ice cream...excellent A little bit expensive! read more

Expectations were high based on the commentary of a friend so we were expecting a flawless dining experience. What we received was excellent service, fabulous meat, under-cooked risotto and one returned pisco sour due to some strange dark particulate swimming beneath the foam. As a note, the seeds from the "limón de pica" are not black. We pre-ordered the dry aged bone-in prime rib earlier in the week and it was absolutely fantastic. I don't remember when I have had a better cut prime rib. Well worth it. Since I did not come for the side dishes my rating of the restaurant is primarily based on the meat and service which they both excelled at in spite of some minor shortcomings. The restaurant's tradition of serving cotton candy after the meal does really not work for me. read more

Very disappointing. Travel the world eating so know my stuff. Whatever steak one orders and how they want it cooked should be char grilled, rested, and juicy. There were 4 of us and each steak not to an acceptable standard.You're a steak house, serving steak. Get it right !!!! We did have a fun, friendly waiter and if you're going to brag about a decent wine list, how do you get away with not having the vintages listed. Sorry folks. read more

If you love steak, you will love Ox. I have eaten here three times and it is always fantastic. It is expensive, especially by Chilean standards but the food, service, atmosphere and wine list are tops. read more

Quite expensive, but the food is amazing. Best steak I've ever had and the service is great.

This luxurious parilla serves some of the best, most succulent and flavoursome meat in town. Prepared with love and passion and accompanied with an impressive selection of wines, Ox is the perfect place for meat lovers with high expectations. Rumour has it that the chief parillero of this restaurant actually hails from Argentina. read more

Love the cotton candy touch at the end. Had this neck meat appetizer that was also really tender. Steaks were decent. Probably best steak in Santiago but coming from Houston, TX USA can't say they were the best in the world. I had the bone in Ribeye at medium. read more
