The Ox Bristol - Carta

I know it's a big claim, but I'd go as far as to say this place is Bristol's best restaurant!_Run by the team behind The Milk Thistle and Hyde

I decided to take the other half here for a date night (he LOVES steak!) and I'm definitely glad I did!__The restaurant has an old fashioned styling

I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere in the Ox, but it is very expensive! I could not justify a second visit when my local does a fantastic steak for half the price. Ver carta

This restaurant was a real little find. It’s actually downstairs from Street level the atmosphere, the lighting the food everything about it was amazing I highly recommended

Sunday roast lunch beneath Bristol’s old city streets opposite the market. Lots of turn of the century deco hangings. Generous baked cauliflower, garnish gravy roasted potatoes portion drenching the roast Yorkshire pudding. Plenty of appetisers, desserts sides for hungrier patrons. Extensive beverage menu too. Service was crisp nice to enjoy at a proper pub serving English fare.

Very disappointing. The beef was very poor, quite gristly and my wife’s nut roast was tasteless. The additional cauliflower cheese was overcooked, almost burnt on top and must have been sent out this way from the kitchen. For over £200 for a single course meal for 4 but including 2 bottles of house wine and 2 cokes, I find this not to a standard that I would expect but as we were with family that we had not seen for quite a period I did not complain. I assume that this is of a typical standard and therefore cannot recommend. Ver carta

Went to the Ox for a roast and had the beef. Mostly average in quality expected more for the price considering there are better roasts in Bristol for cheaper. Received a small portion of meat, just 2 thin slices of beef. The food was ok but nothing amazing. Potatoes were dry and stale tasting The room was a little bit too dark, I get it’s the aesthetic of the place but you couldn’t see what you were eating. The music was a bit too loud so you had to raise your voice to have a conversation. Once sat and served the food the servers didn’t come over again until it was time to clear the plates and sort the bill. Overall not bad but not great either.

Evening out with business colleagues. Didn’t get off to a good start as menu reduced as apparently not enough staff. Despite restaurant being nearly empty. These things should be made clear in advance, they had my details from internet booking. Steak ordered and arrived cold. Garlic butter wouldn’t even melt on it. Given excuses but they did cook me a second. Second one arrived over done and still not much warmer. Given the blab about temperature and delivering steak as requested etc. Funny I had an almost identical steak at a well known steak chain that arrived both hot and cook as requested.. Service not particularly attentive. For the price I would expect far better. Definitely won’t retu...

Not a good experience. Starters, we both had scallops which were pretty good. Main course, I had £34 rib eye steak. Supposed to be 10oz, definitely wasn't and I very much doubt it's uncooked weight was over 6oz. I like rib eye for the fat. This had none and just wasn't very good meat. Certainly I have had better rib eye streaks from Aldi for under a tenner. The prize is only for the steak. Chips were extra. I also ordered a ceaser salad. It had no croutons and no anchovies. So it was basically lettuce with a sauce and some cheese costing £6. Glass is Melbac was good. Staff were friendly. Automatically added 12.5% to the bill, but the waiter made a point of saying it was optional. I was happy... Ver carta
