Visited Oxbow with friends/partner for the first time on September 12, 2025. Reservations are recommended for prime times, as it’s a small place. They have a dining area, lounge and patio. I loved the building with the exposed brick inside, moody lighting with candles, and wood tables with bench seating. It was a really cool vibe!

The menu has dishes that are meant for sharing. They have a good selection of dishes that can be made vegan and/or gluten free. They even had an entire separate gluten-free menu which wasn’t advertised online, so make sure to ask. We ordered the patatas bravas (French fry like potato wedges with a mix of sauces on top), pasta dish (not advertised on the regular menu - but it was gluten free rigatoni noodles with a vegan cashew cream sauce. This was my fave!), roasted carrots (in a sweet and slightly spicy sauce), and Brussels sprouts (raw, mixed in a coleslaw like salad with puffed rice and sauce). The pasta dish and potato one were my favourites but everything tasted great and the dishes were unique and creative.

Would definitely visit here again and want to try the tomato dish as well. They did not have any desserts that were vegan and gluten free but one or the other. They also have an extensive wine menu along with cocktails.

The service was fantastic. I will be back!

Overpriced. Didn't like a single dish. Overly complex flavors didn't match the star ingredient. I don't get the hype.

The price is clearly too high for the standard of service and the quality of the food at this place.

Getting to the loo from the patio is almost like a mini parkour challenge — across the car park and the street😅

We had an excellent dinner here! Since we had a large party of 9, we were offered the option to have the kitchen recommend our dishes for sharing. Every dish was perfect!
The service was also exquisite, our server Sarah had great recommendations and was very organized in splitting the bills.
I would definitely recommend coming here!

We had dinner at Oxbow on a Friday night and were fortunate to get a table on a last minute reservation. I have given the food 4 stars only because I did not recognize anything on the menu but what they brought us to eat was excellent. Definitely a great atmosphere and the service was fantastic! If you are up for something other than the regular meat and potatoes this place rocks.

This was a very unexpected surprise at this local eatery. The ambiance was quaint and rustic. Our servers were fantastic and were attentive to every detail. Most importantly the food. We ordered around 20 different dishes to share. I can’t complain about a single dish. We will be coming back to this wonderful place.

Small 'shareable' plates. They encourage one tab for groups to order multiple items and share. Great place for wine and tapas

Pretty good food but disappointed that they never change their menu. Went a year from when I first went and don’t think anything had changed. Good wine.

We visited Oxbow on a Saturday as a party of four celebrating a birthday. Our server, Lizzie, was knowledgeable and so friendly. We ordered the oysters, escargot, big pretzel, burrata, patatas bravas, red curry clams, gnocchi cacio e pepe, avonlea cheddar, raclette and all three desserts - all were absolutely delicious and perfectly timed. We also enjoyed the wine list :) the atmosphere is warm and inviting. We will definitely be back!
