Stephen was our server. He was amazing. So knowledgeable about the menu, personable, and really elevated our experience from just mere service to true hospitality!

Oxbow Bar & Grill is a very nice dining experience. The views of the water are great. The food was delicious, the drinks were good, the service staff was great, all at a reasonable price. I recommend Oxbow Bar & Grill for a very nice evening out with someone special or with friends.

Great view, but very slow service. Food was just okay. There are better seafood options in the area ... but if your goal is to sit by the water for drinks, still a good option

Honestly I don't know what the hype is. We arrived after dark, but I'm sure the views are great which is perhaps what gets them such rave reviews. The place isn't as big as it appears from the outside. Partly because almost half the indoor space is a gift shop that you must walk thru to get to the restaurant. An immediate turn off for me. Also, the menu was pretty small in my opinion. We ended up just sharing 3 appetizers- all were good but definitely not great. And with only 3 appetizers (no drinks, dessert or entrees) our bill was $60 which seemed steep for what we got. And the noise level was awful. It was only about 1/2 full with diners but we could not carry on a conversation. It didn't help that an exceptionally loud and rude group was near us. But, I can only imagine how intolerable the noise must be when they are full. I will say the service was good (again good but not great). We were hoping to ring a waterside restaurant near us where we could bring visitors but this will not be the place.

Great service. Delicious food. Good value. Everyone was very satisfied with what they had, particularly. The shrimp roll and seafood stew.

While the food was good, the menu offerings were slim and the service was mediocre. Parking for the entire area on a weekend evening is a challenge. As there are no reserved spaces for the restaurant and we ended up parking 1/4 mile away (literally).
Kim
Horrible service ... super slow ... steak was cooked well done when we said medium rare... all the other tables around us were complaining

Was beautiful day on Sunday to enjoy sitting outside! Would have been perfect except for one table who was very loud and obnoxious the entire time made it difficult to fully enjoy being out there. But the service, food a d drinks were great!
Jennifer
We loved Oxbow! The view is beautiful and the food is even better! The staff was so kind, accommodating and fun.

Our little family of 3 (including a toddler) enjoyed a wonderful lunch by the water. Our waitress Roxanne was personable, fun and sweet and delivered amazing service. We highly recommend this spot for families.
Beautiful views out into the gulf. Very nice and clean facility

Service was exceptional slow. Were there long enough to have had 2-3 drinks. Only had one due to the slow service. We were afraid to order another drink and be there another hour. Sat outside to watch the sun set. Beautiful on the river.

We were seated outside and enjoyed a spectacular sunset. Our server, Noah, couldn't have been better - super efficient, friendly and fun. Our party of three all ordered the Fish n' Chips, and we all agreed it was delicious. Crispy white fish in a light batter with terrific fries. The slice of Key Lime was the perfect finale... so light and refreshing. 5 enthusiastic stars!!

The food was great , the service and management is AWFUL! My wife and I had reservation and they sat us outdoor about 20 minutes into us sitting we asked if we can move inside because the sun is so hot and they refused claiming that “tables are all reserved” we could not finish our Meals and decided to just sit at bar since they would not allow us to sit at any of the open tables claiming they were “Reserved” ! However we littlerally sat another hour at bar and the none of the Tables they claimed were reserved were occupied . The service was awful and management is beyond poor. I will never come here and if by chance I need to be here I will never patronize more then very basic. Thank you for giving us the workers evening of our lives!

Server ... she was awesome . Food was ok. Had the baby back ribs. For 17 bucks I really thought they skimped on the wine. Would have preferred in a wine glass with a stem and more, for that price. Burger was good. Overall the server was what made the experience pleasant.
