    I always thought this place was a dark and romantic date night sort of place. I've passed it tons of times, but I have never gone in until recently. Getting a reservation at a popular dinner time might require some planning. I highly suggest you plan a couple weeks ahead if you want something that is in the 6 or 7 o'clock hour. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was great. The atmosphere is chic, classy, and surprisingly bright.

    Can't speak highly enough about this place. Got their America wagyu flatiron. One of the best steaks I ever had. They aren't lying when they say it doesn't need any sauce on the side. It was so rich and cooked to perfection. Had the potato purée and brussel sprouts on the side. Both were superb. Service was fantastic all around. Definitely worth checking out if you're anywhere near SLO.

    Booked this restaurant based solely on Yelp reviews without ever visiting SLO, and it exceeded every expectation! The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the exceptional service. The manager, Ronaldo, went above and beyond to make my aunt and me feel so welcome and special. He even recommended a great spot for after dinner and personally walked us next door to enjoy some live music. Outstanding food, incredible hospitality, and hands-down some of the best service I've ever experienced. We'll absolutely be back--and a big reason is Ronaldo. Thank you for making our evening so memorable.

    Burger + potato puree

    I usually order the duck leg confit but I rly wanted a burger tonight. Omg I'm glad I gave it a go. It was the best burger I've had! Their Yukon potato puree is also our go-to order every time. Their service was delightful as always.

    Had a lovely time at Ox + Anchor! We had amazing service all-around, but especially from our server Angel who was extremely personable and gave great recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing - one of the best restaurants in SLO, if not the best. Will need to come back for the yukon gold potato puree!

    Ordered - Complimentary sourdough and focaccia both delicious with the butter. Love the seasoning of the focaccia and how crispy it was. Nice flavor even without the butter. Both breads did come out a bit cold though and I wish the sourdough was crispier. - Beet and endive salad (4/5): one of the best beet salads we've had. The sauce really brings the dish together with the herbed goat cheese flavor shining subtley through. - Bone marrow tots (4/5): this was the reason we wanted to try come ox + anchor and it did not disappoint. We couldn't really taste the bone marrow, which we had expected to shine, but the tots themselves were perfectly crispy and flavored. We both also loved the horseradish creme fraiche that helped cut through some of the heaviness of this dish. Note though that there is an odd amount of tots per dish so my gf and I had to fight over the last one. - 10oz american wagyu flat iron (5/5): we ordered this medium rare and it was perfectly cooked. The steak was juicy but not overly fatty since it was consistently marbled. It was seasoned well but we loved trying all the different complimentary sauces with it - especially the red wine bordelaise sauce. So glad we tried this! - Ox burger with aged cheddar (5/5): Super fresh tasting and not oily at all. Juicy and super aromatic to the bite. Brioche bun was slightly sweet and made the dish well balanced. We also loved the tomato relish that was included as it was super unique and delicious. It was a bit odd having the lettuce, tomato, pickle, and pickled onion on the side but we had it like a side salad and it worked out ok. The fries included were yummy and definitely get the lemon aioli to add to some bites! - Meyer Lemon Cheesecake (5/5): Not heavy or overly sweet at all which we really appreciated since we were stuffed at this point. It was great how the orange sherbet cut through the lemon flavor. - Dark chocolate, baking soda, honey comb - Appreciated this small dessert for our Valentine's Day dinner. The honeycomb was dehydrated and crunchy when biting but softens and gets sticky when chewing. - Towel w almond smell Overall (5/5): Late review for our Valentine's day reservation. Service was super friendly and helpful, especially at explaining the menu. Ambiance was pretty vibey with candlelight but it was a bit noisy. Overall food and vibes were amazing and it was one of the best meals we had that weekend!

    Went here with my gf about a month ago for our anniversary and loved it. Steaks were cooked to our preferences and the sauces provided were excellent. I loved that they were included for free because at most steakhouses I've been to or restaurants similar to this one, I've had to pay for each sauce. The tater tots and mashed potatoes here were the real stars in my opinion. The tater tots here aren't like your regular tater tots texture, it had a more breadcrumby kind of exterior but it's great to me, nice and soft and cheesy inside

    Wow.. I can't explain how amazing this dinner was. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside, service was 10/10 but the star of the show was the meal. We ordered a Cesar salad to start, with the in house made focaccia and sourdough with salted butter. For entrees we had the brussel sprouts, puree potatoes, the rib eye and filet magnon. I'll be thinking about this meal for a long time; the steaks were cooked to perfection mixed with a perfect array of house made sauces (many different choices). The potato puree was actually insane, so creamy and flavorful. Cannot recommend Ox + Anchor enough! Such an incredible and delicious meal.

    Prime New York and Filet Mignon. Creamed Spinach, Yukon gold pure and all sauces on the side.

    Came here tonight for our one year anniversary and we had an incredible meal. We were under the impression that Ox + Anchor was fine dining but once we got there, the entire restaurant was so incredibly loud. Like we could barely hear our server. No music or any of that. Not super pleasant. Also there were a lot of people here tonight dressed in like bed clothing or regular street wear. Which is fine of course, no judgment. You'd just think a place this nice would have a dress code. The food. Amazing, from the complimentary bread to the steak to the sides to dessert. Top-down absolutely delicious, wonderful food. Our server was amazing. He took care of us.

    Homemade carrot cake with Creme freche ice cream

    The host was fantastic as well as our waiter Angel. We ordered the Yukon potato purée 5/5 and the 16oz ribeye with all the different sauces. The chimichurri sauce was the best 5/5. The oysters were fantastic too. Try the homemade carrot cake with the creme freche ice cream. This is worth trying the steak and Yukon potato purée can easily feed 2 people. Thank you

    Ox + Anchor feels like the kind of place San Luis Obispo has been patiently waiting for. You walk in and immediately sense that this room knows what it is doing. Contemporary and polished without being stiff, softly lit but never dim, it strikes that rare balance where you feel dressed up enough to care and relaxed enough to enjoy yourself. One of the first things you notice is the massive glass wall separating the dining room from the kitchen. It is not a gimmick. It is a quiet flex. Chefs move with calm focus, plates come together with intention, and you get the comforting feeling that everything behind the scenes is exactly where it should be. Watching dinner come to life adds a subtle excitement, like seeing the orchestra before the curtain rises. The space itself is clean, modern, and welcoming. It feels appropriate for everything from a first date to a business dinner to a celebration where someone definitely dressed nicer than they claimed they would. Locals, hotel guests, and travelers all seem to fit seamlessly into the room. That alone says a lot. Now the food. The salmon deserves a moment of silence. Deep sea Pacific Northwest king salmon with that beautiful marbling that only cold water fish can deliver. It was tender, rich, and somehow both indulgent and light at the same time. Each bite melted effortlessly, the kind of salmon that makes you pause mid chew and reconsider every other salmon you have ever eaten. Simple preparation, exceptional quality, unforgettable result. The lamb arrived sliced like a New York strip, boneless and beautifully presented. What made it especially fun were the sauces. A red wine sauce, a chimichurri, a marinade style sauce, and their signature Ox sauce which is their take on barbecue. This is not the loud, sharp kind that overwhelms everything. It is smooth, balanced, and genuinely complimentary. Choosing a favorite felt like picking a favorite child, but that Ox sauce made a very persuasive argument. Drinks were handled with the same care. The Old Fashioned was smooth and perfectly integrated, the kind that tastes like the bartender understands time as an ingredient. Ice, spirit, and dilution working together instead of fighting each other. The martini was equally well executed, clean and rounded with no harsh edges. From Four Roses single batch to thoughtful vodka selections, the bar program clearly takes pride in doing things properly. Sides were far from afterthoughts. The potato puree was light and airy, almost cloudlike, generous enough to make you question your portion expectations in the best way. The polenta arrived like a small cake, with a gentle crust and a soft interior that held together beautifully. Flavorful without being heavy, it walked that perfect line between comforting and refined. The salad brought freshness and balance. Endive and beets played nicely together, bright and clean, with goat cheese and candied walnuts adding just enough contrast. Speaking of goat cheese, the goat cheese croquettes were a highlight. Warm and creamy inside a crisp panko shell, finished with honey and rosemary notes that made each bite feel intentional and satisfying. Dessert sealed the evening with confidence. A deconstructed strawberry shortcake featured light sponge style cake resting on fresh diced strawberries. It felt playful and familiar without being predictable. The chocolate dessert was equally memorable. A dark chocolate tart base topped with a scoop of rich mousse and paired with ice cream that brought everything together. Decadent without being overwhelming, the kind of dessert that makes conversation pause for a moment. Then there is Brian. Every great restaurant has that one person who quietly elevates the entire experience, and at Ox + Anchor, Brian is that person. He reads tables like a seasoned novelist reads a room. Our interaction was warm, engaging, and perfectly paced, while the couple next to us enjoyed a more hushed and romantic rhythm. That level of awareness is rare and deeply appreciated. Brian was knowledgeable, confident, funny, and genuinely invested in making the night special. Timing was impeccable, plates arrived gracefully, and small details never slipped. One especially thoughtful touch was the warm steamed towels infused with almond oil. Not just practical, but refreshing and unexpected, leaving your hands clean and lightly scented after enjoying more hands on dishes. Ox + Anchor feels smooth, organized, and joyful. It is the kind of place where you can dress up a little, feel important without feeling stiff, and trust that every detail is being handled with care. San Luis Obispo benefits from having a restaurant like this. It feels worthy of attention, worthy of celebration, and worthy of repeat visits. We are already talking about coming back. That usually tells you everything you need to know.

    Have you ever seen the show "The Bear?" That's what I think about when I come to Ox+Anchor. The food is so well made and the staff is so attentive; it is hard not to love this place. I've had dinner here twice and both times were amazing. I started off with a salad, which was simple but so flavorful. The accompanying bread was toasted nicely and delicious. We then shared the bone marrow tots, which wasn't what I expected but was very good. The inside is almost like a mashed potato texture; but flavorful and not too heavy For my main dish, I got the steak with a side of Mac n cheese. The steak melted in my mouth and was one of the best I've had. The dessert was a mini cheese cake and wow! So good! I could eat that everyday. I can't wait to come back here again for dinner! Definitely worth the visit if you're in SLO!

    Potatoes... a must - amazing
    Natalee C.

    Absolutely loved my experience at Ox + Anchor! The restaurant itself is gorgeous and has a cute bar. The service staff was incredibly nice and helpful, they have exceptional service. The overall vibe is so cute and upscale, definitely the perfect steakhouse vibe that slo needed. The food comes out so fresh and hot, loved my fillet and the potatoes were absolutely to die for. I'd come back here in a second! Highly recommend.

    Can you bring your own wine and what is the corkage and is there a night when corkage is waived?

    Is the restaurant kid friendly?

    Yes it is.

    I know it's an upscale restaurant, would nice jeans be acceptable if paired with a nice top and shoes?

    That's what I wore the last time I was there, and most were dressed the same. It's upscale, but also a fun place to spend an evening and a meal.

    Do they allow you to bring your own bottle of wine? If so, what's the corkage fee?

    HI Steven, You are welcome to bring your own wine-the corkage is $25.…

I opted to do a trio with the bahn mi, tip o' Argentina, and the garlic fries. The food was good I forgot to take a picture! The tip o' Argentina was solid with the garlic aioli and the chimmichurri perfectly complimenting the steak and the lettuce and tomato adding a little bit of freshness. The buns they use for all of their sliders are soft, slightly sweet, and don't fall apart while you're eating. The Bahn Mi was even better. I love pork but was a little skeptical about pulled pork on a slider riffing on the flavors of a bahn mi.

I got a Gouda Burger, the summer crunch salad, and garlic fries. My wife and kid also had a slider but did Italian Sprouts, mac and cheese with bacon, and sweet potato fries. The slider was good- tasty but a little messy to eat. Both servings of fries were really generous. The salad was a good mix of ingredients. However the mac and brussels sprouts were a bit disappointing. For some there is no such thing as too much bacon but for us both of these dishes definitely had too much bacon- so much that we left a lot of the bacon! And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my bacon. Overall, a good concept but we'll definitely try some non bacon dishes next time!

    We got lucky arriving early on a Friday night. Since it wasn't too busy yet, we were seated right…read moreaway. We were placed on the back patio, which was beautiful, covered, heated, and thoughtfully decorated, making it a very comfortable and inviting space. We ordered the Cajun Seafood Boil, and it did not disappoint. It came with a generous amount of crab, shrimp, lobster, clams, and mussels. The seasoning was bold and flavorful without being overwhelming. The corn, potatoes, and sausage were perfectly portioned, complementing the seafood instead of taking the focus away from it. The rich, buttery garlic sauce tied everything together and was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the half-shell oysters, which were the perfect medium size. They were meaty and had the rich, briny flavor I enjoy. Our server, Angel, was outstanding. Our food came out quickly, she checked on us regularly, and she was attentive to everything we needed without any delay. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an easy place to recommend for the whole family.

    The lobster rolls here are 10/10 delicious! I had the Maine Style Lobster Roll, which is tossed in…read morelight mayo and butter with celery, lemon, and chives. They don't skimp on the chunks of fresh lobster. The roll is perfectly toasted, buttery, soft, and fluffy. Together with the lobster, you get a tangy, sweet, meaty sandwich packed with flavor. I also had a side of house made slaw and seasoned flat fries. The slaw has apples and a light vinaigrette that goes nicely with the rich roll. The fries are super crispy onthe outside and soft inside. I've never had fries like these anywhere else and I will be dreaming about them. This cute food truck is located near the water along the Embarcadero. There is plenty of outdoor seating (but not much shade). The people who run the truck are super friendly and inviting. My experience here was really great and I can't wait for my next visit to Morro Bay.

So, they will pause taking orders to catch up - and personally, I prefer that vs. someone taking my order and feeling like I'm Waiting "too long". They have two lobster roll options (we went with the Maine). It was dressed perfectly, had great seasoning and was very a generous portion. We also tried the CA shrimp roll, which had similar dressing/seasoning and was just as tasty. They also have slaw or "flat fries" option, which we opted for and they were so good! There are some benches to sit at & enjoy, or you can walk to the pier and eat there. Very little shade, but there are public bathrooms right by the benches.

    One of the best Peruvian restaurants I've been to in a long time!…read more We started with the ceviche, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. We then ordered the lomo saltado and pollo saltado, and both were fantastic. Everything was flavorful, well-prepared, and felt like the kind of food you want to come back for. The service was excellent too. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. You can tell they care about the experience they're creating for their guests. And the ambiance really adds to the experience. It has a great atmosphere that makes you want to sit back, enjoy your food, and stay awhile. It feels like a place you can enjoy whether you're out for a casual meal or looking for a nice dinner. If you're coming to San Luis Obispo, COYA Peruvian is definitely a spot to check out. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

    I wanted to really like this place but man, it fell short…read more We were greeted by what I assumed was the host/ bus boy? He was doing all the work. Also a random bath and body works candle was lit in the restaurant?? It felt like I was eating inside of a bathroom instead of a restaurant. Our waitress was behind the counter and did not greet us until after 15 minutes of sitting. My cup had lipstick stains and grime on it. Their lack of communication was wild because we were asked what we wanted to drink twice and the drinks did not come out until after the food came. We got the pesto pasta with steak. Food was missing salt, we had to ask the busboy for the check 3 separate times, and the waitress only started to recommend meals and chat with us once I was looking at the tip screen. I would not recommend at all.
