Ox - Bristol

This is the best steak I have ever had (so far)I have searched 'best restaurant in Bristol' and chosen the result of Timeout offers.

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

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 return as there is much better.

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.
