   Food was not good. Fish over cooked, risotto too spicey and overpowered the fish, steak was chewy and too fatty (even for a rib eye). We informed staff - they didn’t seem to care. Service lacked finesse. Didn’t wipe down the dirty table between courses. “Roughly” poured water (right up the brim). Place was dead. Now I know why.

   We went here for a birthday and had a terrible experience. We have been to Oxbow several times before and after this experience will not be planning to go back. The food was poorly executed in terms of taste and preparation and not worthy of the price. Mussels were over cooked to the point they were extremely shrunk and firm and we had to ask our waitress to bring out another order which was not promoted to us. Three of us had ordered the duck dish which were all extremely over seasoned to the point being not enjoyable. Also all three of the duck breasts were to come medium rare but were all medium well to well done. Also the halibut ordered was over done. Our waitress never checked up on us until we were over half done our meal. Also one of our wine glasses had lipstick on it which they provided a slight discount for but given the experience was a very underwhelming response. Overall a very disappointing experience on any night but even more so given we were celebrating two birthdays. Hope the quality gets back to what it used to be but until then won’t be visiting.

   We had a lovely visit with family and Oxbow provided the perfect environment. May was friendly and helpful and I really appreciated her putting up with us. I highly recommend the Sunday Brunch, the food was delicious. I've never had taters taste so good.

    Went to OXBOW for dinner with friends. I had extremely high hopes for this place but felt a slight letdown. The OXBOW Confit Duck wing was extremely rough. Just my opening that duck wings are not ideal for frying. It becomes too chew and gets stuck in between teeth. I was also disappointed that there was no chicken or veg option. The staff was extremely friendly. The ambient was great. Would love to come back and try a few other dishes.

    In fairness to the kitchen, there was a retirement event going on in the private dining room. As a result, the lounge/dining room was left behind. Both our appetizers (vol au vent and duck legs) were both terribly overcooked. It was obvious from the taste that the kitchen cut off burnt parts of the pastry in the vol au vent. The duck was almost like jerky. The sablefish was done to perfection but the risotto was overcooked, and the rib eye steak was medium rare as wanted but served ice cold. The manager and our server were delightful and made accommodations for us with a bottle of wine we love, although it was like how many times can you hear 'sorry for the delay' to every table in the room.

    Mother’s Day brunch was busy with young families so noisier than usual. From the moment you walk in, you can’t help but notice the artsy ambiance. The hostess was friendly and helpful and offered to check in my coat when seating me. The waitress is knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with substitutes. She has a great sense of humour and excellent at her job. The food was excellent and someone was always ready to fill our glass with water or cup of coffee.

    This was our first experience with Oxbow but it won’t be our last! The food was very good. I had the Tourtiere with a crust that was cooked to perfection. My wife opted for the Baked Brie appetizer and a small salad. Excellent service without hovering. Great value

    It’s was a bustling Friday night also being the first night to open up the patio and the team at Oxbow rocked it! The service was fantastic, thank you Morgan for being so amazing in your role. You offer, attentiveness, a gracious and sincere presence with a whim of fun and friendliness. The food was so great! Chef Myles and his team are true artisans of their craft and continue to surprise creating delectable eats and savoury treats! I can’t wait to see how your travels abroad inspires you!

    We went on a Friday night and it was half price bottle of wine ( under $100 ) So that was a great start. The place was full and you could feel the energy in the room, my date and I decided to start with an order of the duck wings ( zesty with pineapple )then go with the 3 course dinner for $45 and it was amazing. Foie gras mousse with salad frisé to start and beef short ribs covered with dried Gouda ( I think ) with mashed potatoes and honey caramel carrots. The chef surprised us with a white chocolate covered orange cheesecake that was out of this world. Our server was amazing and always around when needed. Overall an incredible experience . Will definitely be back.

    In each of our main courses the food was over cooked. My sable fish was a very small portion and cooked to be dry and at a cost of $37.00 this was disappointing. The Rosti on the steak dinner was close to burnt and the pork schnitzel was also over cooked.
