About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
Tucked away in a basement beneath The Commercial Rooms on Corn Street, The Ox steakhouse is a bastion of excellent food and drink, and since opening in 2013 has fast built a reputation as purveyors of the best steak in Bristol.

Our menu comprises prime cuts of steak, all cooked to perfection in the famous Josper oven, beautiful small plates, delectable desserts and one of the best Sunday roasts in town, as well as a delicious selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. As a cousin to Hyde and Co and The Milk Thistle diners can also expect an impressive array of expertly crafted cocktails, wine and local beer and ales.

    Price of wine was not listed correctly, steak was tough despite being rare. It was ok but I expected something special for the very high price.

    8 guest 1700 Sunday sitting. We celebrated my birthday in The Glass Room. It was really nice vibe with an intimate feel. Great service. Really good food. Everyone enjoyed the steaks (filet,rib-eye) perfectly cooked. Scallops were a treat and really well made Amaretto sours. Highly recommend and we will be coming back very soon

    We were served quite quickly and given good advice about the steaks. Our meals were excellent and portion size was just right. We will definitely pay another visit. The only downside was the poor lighting.
