   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.

   We had a lovely meal at Oxbow last night. Our server Brett was on the ball. He explained everything thoroughly and in great detail. Our first visit and we will be back. Food was delicious. We were even asked if the lighting was ok? How’s that for services? Thanks for a great evening!

    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.

    Love the ambiance and service. The food this time missed the mark unfortunately. Bison roast was too rare... Almost raw. Duck wings were ok but surprisingly missing a bit of flavor. The salad tasted good but had so much dressing it was almost soggy. The desserts were good though.

    Unusual ambience in the “lounge”, which felt more like a living room in a retirement home. Service was friendly but verged on overbearing. Ordered highballs, which were as expected, and a smoked salmon appetizer, which was unexpectedly mayonnaise-heavy and accompanied by greens that were wilted and turning bad. 2.5/5. Unlikely to return.

    Overall it was a great experience, the service was on point and wonderful. The food was a small portion for the price compared to Vintage, Hy’s , Charbar, they all have 30$ chicken entrees but much larger portions and the Rosti potatoes were overcook and too dry. The wine and champagne were great though!

    Cocktails were good, food was alright but not exceptional. The duck confit wings were drumsticks and ok but tasted like barbecued. The tourtiere was the best food item. My pork schnitzel was so hard and over cooked I could barely cut it with a steak knife. The gnocchi and wild mushrooms were good. Servers were friendly but seriously capering about like in a diner. Not what I would expect from this type of restaurant.

    A delightful place for brunch. The ambiance was lovely and service was good. The food was excellent - lemon ricotta pancakes with a side of sausages. There were several other choices on the menu that I would also like to try on a future visit. I would highly recommend.
