    Another enjoyable meal.at Oxbow. If you haven't tried it, you should! I especially like the chefs tasting and wine pairings - although I could have done without cognac - I'm definitely not a cognac person lol The variety of amazing sounding small plates made it really difficult to choose a starter...which is a great problem to have!!

    Overall we had a nice evening. Our main courses, dessert and wine pairing was very good. The service was excellent. Oxbox has an excellent wine selection. The apertizers we chose were average. Why would you put creme fraiche with burrata cheese. It made it taste bland.

    We tried the cheese bun, the beef tartare, the duck breast and the halibut. The cheese bun was a good starter but overpriced for the amount that was presented. The beef tartare was unexpected. It wasn’t presented in the typical manner and the beef was chopped up to finely to be the star of the dish. The duck was good and cooked well. Halibut was a bit weird with the potato balls that accompanied it

    Sat on the patio - service was incredible. Dogs welcome and appreciated, which is very nice. Food was delicious. The pesto pasta was made with asparagus and was very flavourful.
