Was not consistent .
All dependent on the chef on duty that you will have a great sensory experience .
Servers are excellent , knowledgeable and suggestive !
Definitely made each time going memorable !
Ox Bar does it right! Stop in for a creative cocktail or a glass (or pitcher) of Sangria. The tapas here are fresh and tasty. Plenty of variety to please everyone. Cute little patio area to enjoy on 17th Ave. Delicious patatas bravas, croquettas, and churros! Yummy :)
Intimate atmosphere. Went on a weeknight, the place was busy but not crowded. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. He timed tapas to arrive as we finished them so the table was never crowded. The food was fantastic, our favs were the fried chicken, flank steak, house salad and potatoes. Definitely recommend going as a group to try several tapas from the menu.
Just been renovated More all of a lounge atmosphere now. Great service and fantastic food, brought to you by the same folks as Una Pizza and Native Tongue. The food is inventive and tasty. Nuff said. You will not be disappointed.
Food is delish!! A bit pricey, but the atmosphere makes up for it. Cocktails are also great! Get the chef menu - totally worth it, and you can try a bunch of options
Classy place, great ambience and service and food taste and presentation was fabulous. We stuck to the tapas and the appetizers and all were good. Especially good were the grilled albacore tuna, patatas bravas (fried baby potatoes) and the filete a la parila (grilled steak with anchovies) but not a single bad dish. A must visit.
Tapas is one of my favorite ways to dine out. I really enjoy being able to taste multiple dishes in one sitting. Ox and Angela didn't disappoint with the food. We tried the kale salad, mushroom toast, meatballs and flank steak. All were very tasty. However, I have two negative points regarding service. The first is with the order in which we were served. We were brought two of our Tapas plates before our drinks arrived. When we mentioned this to the food runner he made sure to try and up-sell us on bread before checking on our drinks. Second, we had to ask for clean plates. I have had Tapas in Spain and in Turkey.... the wait staff just bring clean plates when necessary. Given the cost at Ox and Angela, I would think that this would be done without having to ask. Again, the food runner gave us a blank stare when we requested this. I suppose, she doesn't know this was common in Tapas restaurants. Possibly some training should be in order. I won't be rushing back to Ox and Angela any time soon.
Had a great time at Ox & Angela on Friday night. Definitely have to make a reservation!! And if it is cold out, ask to sit away from the door because it can get quite drafty. The food was incredible! We shared a few (quite a few) tapas plates between the four of us. It did work out to enough food, but would have been better to share between two instead of four! The portions are quite small, but delicious! Next time I would love to try the paella for the table, which would be more of a meal! Will definitely be back to try more dishes.
What a great evening! Our dinner club met here and had a blast. Greeted and seated we were well looked after for three hours. We made life easy on ourselves and ordered the Spanish Table and jugs of red and white sangria. The food arrived at well paced intervals. It was fantastic. Each dish became our new favourite. 👍 The sangria was very good too, less sweet than some, allowing the fruit and wine to shine. Dangerous. Tapas and sangria is an excellent way to enjoy the company of friends. Gracias team Ox & Angela.
Wow, I'm impressed by how much I like Ox and Angela - certainly wish I tried it sooner! My first experience was an impromptu trip for dinner. We ordered multiple tapas to share as the items on The Spanish Table menu didn't quite entice us. The roasted rainbow carrots were fabulous - the tahini, goat yogurt, and feta added just the right amounts of saltiness and tartness to the charred flavour of the carrots. Of course, I also loved the famous patatas bravas. They were so crispy and the brava sauce and creamy alioli balanced each other perfectly. My favourite of the night was the mushrooms on sourdough toast with poached egg. The mushrooms were fragrant of truffles and the house-made sourdough bread was delicious. I would have ordered more sourdough if I wasn't so full from everything else! My dining partner's favourite dish was the fried chicken. The chicken was rich and succulent, but the acidity of the orange glaze cut through it.
We returned to Ox and Angela over the weekend and indulged in The Brunch Table. The sautéed mushroom eggs Benedict with truffle hollandaise and the olive oil dark chocolate pancakes with dulce de leche were my favourite items from the menu. Overall, exceptional food quality and great service in a beautiful dining room. Can't wait to go back!
