Great service through entire dinner. The roasted Brussels were excellent and my salmon moist and flaky. I will be returning to try out their variety of dishes. The ambiance was a bit loud created by a large group. read more

We absolutely adored our 1st visit to this restaurant. It is an inviting change from the usual fare in the area. The service is excellent, and the food is scrumptious. My husband and I devoured our ravioli dish and the pork chop plate. The ambience is inviting with a light-filled space with big open windows, comfortable seating, and a modern cozy vibe. We will definitely be back as soon as possible and highly recommend checking it out! This will now be a staple for us!!! read more

Went and ordered an appetizers and drinks around 4:00 PM. The old fashion and pomegranate cosmopolitan fell flat for $15. This business needs to bring in a mixologist. The drinks are over priced. Give this business a couple of years. Location and building has promise. read more

we have been here 3 times total now. first time was for brunch just the hubby and I. we sat in the bar. Food and service were exquisite. Service so much so that the hubby left a very hefty tip. We were so impressed we brought our family back for a dinner. There was 6 of us. We were seated upstairs and service was definitely lacking. We received our food before we even got our cocktails!! They didn't charge us for the cocktails to compensate which was nice but made for a not great experience. Food was delish as usual though. Yesterday for Mother's Day brunch we were again sadly seated upstairs, 5 of us, and service wasn't great again And my son ordered two dishes and only received one of them. My recommendation would be to add an additional bar upstairs at least for weekends and holidays when the upstairs area is utilized. Food is always wonderful and we like the ambience. Just need to work on service. Especially from the bar read more

Sumner and Pierce County's relatively new hot spot. Very trendy, modern and yet welcoming ambiance. Friendly and well coached staff with well prepared and presented salads, starters and entrée. Custom cocktails and an adequate wine list. A must visit destination if you are a foody and looking for new experiences. read more

We enjoyed dinner at this newer Sumner Restaurant. Bees are a bit of an issue on the deck right now. I would recommend inside seating if you plan to order any fish or meat. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. Prices are high, but the food was superb and well worth the prices.We had the mushroom ravioli and the oven baked chicken. Both were delicious. We had ice cream and chocolate cake for desert and it was fabulous. Lots of parking conveniently available in their own lot. read more

My husband and I have dined here in the past and loved it when it had first opened up. It was a new hip place in Sumner and we love supporting all our local businesses. Great location with plenty of parking available. On our most recent visit last week, we shared the brussel sprouts for an appetizer, I highly recommend you add the bacon to them. They're delicious! He had the greens salad prior to his steak entree. I wanted the taco board with the blackened cod but they were out of the cod that evening. I went with the carne asada taco board. It was good but it left much to be desired with the presentation and toppings. The carne asada was good (albeit it was not cut evenly, some pieces were thinner and others were pretty chunky) it came with grilled/sautéed onions, it just felt heavier than I would have expected. The toppings included pickled red onions and red cabbage, I wish it had a sauce of sorts. In other review pictures it appears a sauce was included so maybe I just didn't get any with my dish (I didn't know this at the time of dining). Not bad, just would have expected a bit more for the price point. My husband thought his steak was good, but didn't rave about it. For dessert we shared the miso caramel sundae which tasted amazing. My only comment on that would be that it's hard to eat when it's served in a wine glass, specially if you're sharing the dessert. The caramel sauce was incredible though, I'm obsessed! The service was great, everyone was very friendly. I will add that if you bring a baby, there is a lovely changing table in the restroom which is good to note. Will try again but chances are we will order other entrees. read more

Went for happy hour, we had the salmon Mac and cheese and the tacos, flavor was amazing! Great service also

First of all welcome to neighborhood! Nice place, good food! Only thing hope menu gets bigger, overall what this location needs! read more

I went to this restaurant when they first opened and haven't returned. It wasn't bad, it just didn't have the je ne sais quoi. The food was adequate. The service was almost adequate, the server disappeared after taking our order. We needed refills shortly after we received our appetizer but didn't get it until after the entrees were served. One thing was a little bizarre, there were two employees (they were well dressed so I'm guessing they were managers) who visited the 5 or so other tables that were there for an early dinner but managed to skip us. Then a white coat chef came around asking all the tables how the food was but he also managed to overlook our table. The restaurant is very open-concept so we weren't in some hidden non-visible nook. I'm not sure if we were reading into things, but we were the only POCs on the restaurant floor (not sure about back of house). It just seemed a little off putting. It may have been friends of the restaurant that happened to be there, most other patrons were at least 55+ so maybe we inadvertently showed up on a friends and family night or something, idk. We ordered the BLT buns. It was something unique. The blend of lemon aioli, the thick cut bacon and bun was well thought out and tasty. It was like an American style bao that was transformed into a sandwich. We had the fish and chips and a steak. The fish was served on top of a rosemary sprig, and the steam from the fish really brought out the aromatics and it was a fun surprise. The steak was a little overdone but since we order medium rare, it wasn't worth asking for a recook, it was still tender. For the $175 cost, it wouldn't be my first choice. I will say this, if you enjoy the occasional alcoholic beverage (their drink menu looked good) and you're single looking for somebody 40+ this might be a good place to get some drinks. The bar was pretty full and I saw several groups of singles having a good time. I'll try again one day if they get something new on the menu that looks interesting. read more

Service was horrible, tried to go there for dinner. several empty tables but we were told we could either sit in the doorway (getting a blast of cold air every time the door opened or we could sit at a very tiny table in a dark corner. we asked if we could sit at one of the other available tables and we were told no. We chose to leave. We think maybe because we are seniors they didn't want us there. Would not recommend it to anyone . The servers appear to be snobby. read more

Good food, good service, little loud for me, but I have bad hearing. New warehouse decor. Looks good!

We tried the new Oxbow restaurant in Sumner and we were not disappointed. My husband really enjoyed the long bone pork chop and said it was tender and flavorful. The service from "Curt" was very personal and he was so helpful with the menu and drink selections. He described the selections perfectly and everything was so tasty and different than anywhere else in the area. We can't wait for summer weather when the deck is open to the river and beautiful view of Mt Rainier! read more

It was our first time and we loved it! The food was amazing and the customer service was outstanding! Can't wait to go back!

Reserved a table for 4 and had to add one more at the last minute and they were able to accommodate us. We chose to sit outside and shortly after sitting down, it started to drizzle. They acted quickly to put up cover for most the tables. For those who didn't want to stay outside they quickly found and offered a solution in their upstairs area. I could see the manager setting up the upstairs area in a hurry in order to offer the space for many of us located outside, and they almost immediately offered us refuge inside, when the rest of the place was already full. Their service was absolutely impeccable and the view from the 2nd floor was even better than the deck. The food and drinks were spectacular as well! They have hospitality down and I will be back for certain! Thanks for taking great care of us! read more

Food was not that great and way overpriced. The $4 service fee tacked onto the bill was not a fun surprise either (like what for? We were only a party of two). The $60 total (pre tip) for a two person lunch and one drink was definitely not worth it. The fish and chips didn't come with anything else (not even a small side of cole slaw) and the Asian salad was on a bed of mostly thick white chunks of cabbage. We've honestly had better frozen chicken and fish. Also pretty loud inside and feels like a bit of an echo chamber. I'm sure the outdoor patio would be nice on a summer day, but I have no real desire to return. Feels like a missed opportunity with a chic new building and nice spot on the river. read more

I met some long time friends for a gathering including some beverages, appetizers, and dinner. The deck is nice with heaters but yellowjackets are now looming. Service was great with lots of drink options to meet everyones desires. The appetisers included fried brussel sprouts with pork belly bacon and were a hit all around as were the Tai chicken wings. For the !main course I had the seafood sampler. Very disappointed! The oysters were fried properly but the oysters were the worst I have had. I should have sent it back... but I didn't. Should never have been served from the kitchen. The fried prawns were ok but the halibut was fried and too cooked. The steak frys were marginal. My freinds filet pieces were over cooked and he didn't eat it all. Dissapointed! read more

Great service and great food! BLT buns a must. Burger came out over cooked and they were quick to correct it. Service was great and bartender provided over the top service. Not sure why we waited so long to visit. Will definitely be back!! This is a much needed establishment in Puyallup. Bravo! read more

Outstanding service, drinks, and food! Really cool modern vibe and nice to have an upscale place in the burbs down in the south end. I had the dry aged pork chop, it was so good it was stoopid!! My wife had the seasonal porcini ravioli and it was incredible! Service was top notch, everything about the place was read more

Oxbow Urban Kitchen - Dry aged pork chop. Incredible! - Steakhouses Near Me - Sumner, Washington

First time at this establishment. Wonderful experience beginning to end. Attentive service. Relaxing and chill ambiance with a modern aesthetic. We also got the brussels *not pictured* they were so so good! All the food was hot and flavorful. I love that this is a seasonal menu to keep it fresh and new. Will most definitely be back. Concerning prices these are adequate prices for an upscale dining restaurant in my opinion. I do not see this as a negative when compared to the surrounding restaurants. The portions were more than enough and the ingredients were fresh. Wine was also delicious. read more

They were super busy, but the staff still made contact with us within a reasonable amount of time. The food was phenomenal and the drinks were very tasty. The atmosphere was upscale, but you saw many people dining in there in all different types offashion ware. read more

Everything was great. Brand new trendy looking restaurant and beautifully decorated ambience. We sat upstairs where the view is better and it's also a little quieter than downstairs. The bar is beautiful. Drinks are wonderful. The food was outstanding, the servers were sweet and nice. They were very accommodating even though our reservations were last minute. They did all they could to seat us at a very nice table upstairs. It's pricey but if you're looking for a high quality romantic place to grab a bite and you don't feel like traveling far to do it, this little gem is your spot. read more

I wasn't really impressed with the meal I had, especially for the price. I had fish n chips, which the breading is that cornmeal kind... not my fave. The actual fish part was good. Fries were awful, tartar sauce was gross and so was a "ranch" they brought. The salad was awesome (a basic Caesar) The ambiance was nice and much needed in the area. Doubt I'll go back, but I'm sure that won't matter! read more

Service was amazing. The bar is amazingly stocked. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and seafood was fresh. Staff was friendly and engaging. Can't wait to go back read more

Wow! That's all I can say! I had been in the bar once last summer but didn't count that because I was in and out so fast. But I remembered the Salad Ala Thomas I had. My sweet sweet hubby took me there on a date night because I was so in love with that salad! We were seated right away and ordered our drinks and a very delicious appetizer of the smoked salmon toast. Right after we were served, the host brought over a complimentary sparkling rose wine for both of us. We felt like VIP guests! I had the king salmon and my hubby had the Australian Wagyu steak. Both were fantastic! I felt like every bite melted in my mouth! Our server was so sweet and answered all our questions, even the silly ones. We appreciated her patience with us. We decided to stay for dessert and had the chocolate cheesecake. I highly recommend that! Not too sweet and not overly rich, just right! Overall, we got exactly what we paid for and more! The experience alone was worth every penny spent. What a treat to have such a special place like this in Sumner and so close to home! Go in with no expectations and let the house do what they do best! read more

I've only been to this place twice. I'd heard good things about it, so the first time we visited was during a double date night with some friends. Our party of four was seated upstairs. The atmosphere is relaxing and very open (I really like that). We had a nice table by the window and a view overlooking the river. Our server was super sweet...just the cheeriest disposition. I honestly forgot her name (forehead smack), but everyone in our group loved her (tall, blonde gal). The thing I didn't love about this place was that my entire meal came out super cold (steak and I can't remember the side I had...maybe mashed potatoes). It was also overcooked (well done instead of medium rare). So it obviously sat for a while before being brought out. Not sure if that was on the kitchen or the server. We did mention it to our waitress, and although she happily offered to take my plate and have a new steak made for me I didn't send it back. I'm always afraid someone will spit in my food. She even said I could order something completely different. Also, the berry crumble dessert wasn't good at all. Just mushy berries under a tiny sprinkle of crumble. That also came out cold...like it had just been pulled out of the fridge. The manager apologized and said that wasn't how it was to be presented so had a new one made. Even though it was hot, it was just as awful...only a little bit more crumble on top. There really was no substance to the dessert :( On the bright side...the brussel sprouts were scrumptious, the pork belly bao sandwiches were top notch, and our friend really enjoyed his sea bass. I planned to order it the next time, but I guess it was only a seasonal item. The 2nd time we visited Oxbow was during our anniversary. We made last minute reservations. It was on a Monday night, so their availability was pretty open. My husband and I ordered small salads, and he really liked the Caesar, but my house salad came out with tomatoes that had black moldy ends, and some of the lettuce had red veins (not from the dressing). I picked through and ate what I could. For dinner, I ordered the pork end caps with chimichurri & cauliflower risotto. The pork end caps were perfectly tender and seared, the chimichurri was a little too vinegary but still good, and the cauliflower risotto was just mashed cauliflower with no seasoning/flavor whatsoever. Definitely not what you expect a risotto to be. That made me sad because when I see risotto on a menu it's the one thing that I gravitate toward. I wanted dessert before heading home, and our waitress (also just as sweet, helpful and bubbly as the server we had the first time around) recommended the baklava w/ ice cream and mentioned that it was a new, seasonal item. Honestly, it was the BEST baklava I've ever had! It was so decadent and sweet. It also contained the right amount of nuts. It was perfectly crispy and chewy at the same time. My husband finished almost 3/4 of it before I could even take a 2nd bite. Lol! Just writing about it is making my mouth water. I even suggested to our waitress that they take the berry crumble off the menu and replace it with their delicious baklava. So even though we haven't had the BEST experience during either of our visits, I would still go back. The food can't always be perfect, and you're bound to encounter some hiccups, but the customer service and ambiance really make up for anything that's lacking at this establishment. This place seriously has the BEST staff. read more

We love Oxbow!! Excellent food and drinks. Great atmosphere! When the weather cooperates their patio is amazing!!

this is a brand new restaurant so our date night we decided to go. Definitely make a reservation! their is a beautiful patio. Try sitting outside. The service from our hostess to our server. Our view wasn't anything special but we had a good view of the restaurant. Decor was ok. Bar area was ok. The food was not as good as I thought it would be. The menu was limited and very expensive. I got the ribeye and my spouse ordered the chicken. No bread, no salad unless you ordered it from the menu. I sort of liked my steak. Too much fat! I felt like half of my steak was fatty. The flavor was a bit too salty but it was good. Their fries were perfect. Hot when I got my dinner. my spouse ordered chicken. He said it was dry, not seasoned except salt. I observed alot of bones and grissel. This was a beautiful building but their menu needs more finesse. read more

On two occasions, I ate here and had mixed feelings about my experience. While the service was excellent, the food fell short. The staff was attentive, friendly. However, the food did not live up to expectations. This most recent time, the salmon was undercooked, and it was very unpleasant. The salad lacked seasoning and tasted bland, and the shrimp weren't deveined. Additionally, the prices were excessively high for the quality of the food, a bland salad, salmon and two drinks cost $100. If they can improve the consistency and quality of their dishes, it has the potential to be worth the money. Overall, my experience was marred by inconsistent food quality, and the price, but the excellent service was a saving grace. We finished dinner and went down to trackside for actual good food. read more

We waited 1.5 hours for food and my child's food was not put in so her food was brought out last after everyone and she was hungry. My cousin ordered ginger beer and switched with the person at our table who ordered a mule, so hers had alcohol and she didn't order that, which is also super concerning if a child or teen would have ordered that. read more

I really really wanted to love everything about this place. The concept is open, great view, what looks like a pricey but good menu. Went here 2 seperate occasions. One of which was just drinks with friends which we did not indulge more than 2 drinks per person and sharing a couple apps. We all split the bill and still spent almost 80 after each. I get you go for the view, is what it is. Second time I brought my fiance, we were sat outside, great view, but I forgot a light coat and it was windy so we asked to be moved inside. The waitress was annoyed at this request even though they hadn't brought waters out yet. Once inside we ordered drinks, an appetizer, 2 small salads and we each got an entree. Loved the idea that their fries are cooked in beef tallow. The food was pretty good, little salty for me on the steak but well cooked. The drinks were lackluster, possibly the experience of the bartender. What was more upsetting is that we spent over $300 and both ended up with the worst food poisoning we have ever had. Both had to call out of work. For a meal that expensive, I would not have thought I'd spend the next 2 days in the bathroom. ***do not have photos as we do phoneless date nights. read more

Went to Oxbow last night and sat in the bar. Travis, our server/bartender, was super friendly and provided great customer service. We loved the ambiance in the restaurant and the entire staff was super friendly and attentive. I tried the pork chop which had good flavor but I didn't care much for the bleu cheese polenta that it came with. I would try something else next time. My partner had the squash ravioli which was really good and would definitely recommend it. We enjoyed the pomegranate martinis and the Sumner 77 drinks as well which I felt were fairly priced. Overall I think this is one of the best restaurants in area and we would come back again to try some of their other food and drinks. read more

Yesterday, stopped by for a drink and a lite snack. The appetizer list goes from $5. 10. @ 15.00. I choose a 15.00 appetizer, nacho chips, not at all good, some dry tasteless chips, and a bit of tiny pieces of meat. I didn't eat much; a glass of bubbly was 15.00. I had a beer. Bill was 127.00 for 4, we all had small appetizers. Food, very small portions and mine was not at all good. Service was good, just extremely expensive, Not going there again. Saw a steak on menu price $$$$ up to 64.00 B C read more

Great seasonal menus, lovely atmosphere and view, and top notch service. Sit outside if you can, it's right by the river!

Turned away first visit. Not offered a wait time or options...just sorry to busy. Sad.

My wife and I visited for dinner on 1-15-24. It was our first visit. We will be back. Service: Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We sat in the bar. It was quite busy. Our server/bartender never missed a beat. Food: Excellent. I started with a half dozen oysters and then the Wagyu Fajitas. My wife started with the pork loin appetizer (we shared) and then had the shrimp and grits. We both loved everything we ate. Drink: I started with an old fashioned and then a recommended Chard to pair the fajitas spice. Wife had a red blend. Wine list is good and pricey. My cocktail was excellent. I finished with a rye our server recommended. Not a big rye drinker and this one hit the spot. (It was a Whistle Pig selection and don't recall which one) Whiskey Lovers Alert - The top shelf of the bar is a sight to behold. The Boss Hog, Stagg, several Balvenie choices, and many others. I had never seen a Boss Hog bottle in the wild before. My bottle price point is sadly well under a grand. I can see myself spending a hundy to try a shot tho.... We were on an enjoy a date night mission so cost and calorie restrictions where left at home. Our check was pricey for South King/North Pierce County. Not meant to deter anyone and also prefer no surprises. This experience was worth every penny. With a tiny bit of restraint we could have cut our check by a third. Visit the Oxbow Urban Kitchen. South King/North Pierce residents, we deserve this kind of dining option. read more

Everything was meh.... Nothing was very good, kids were running around screaming , took them forever to just come over and bring waters, and we got asked about 4 times by other team members about a food dish that they had in their hands since they didn't know who ordered it, also only saw our waitress three times, once to take our drink menus, once to order and once to give us the tab. Save your money go somewhere else. But if you enjoy overpriced food, disappointed and shit service go here. read more

Food was ok, But the prices just don't line up with the quality or taste of the food, that you get. Hamburger was dry , halibut fish and chips were ok not much taste. Had a ceaser salad at it was pretty tasteless. The dressing was oil and lemon juice. Probably the worst I've ever had. Rosemary bread was ok came with some cherry butter which was good except the presentation off the butter made it look like liverworst. I don't mind paying for good food but this was not that.The building looks cool. We got seated upstairs and it was like we were eating in a reception hall or cafeteria. Service was not too bad.But we will not be back. read more
