    Goat Cheese Croquettes were amazing!!!

    Our waiter Brian made the night out with my friend such a fabulous time! First time for me sitting to have dinner, and Brian set us up to where we could see the kitchen do its magic. He explained the special in a way that I could not pass up at all. His suggestions for drinks and dessert were on point. A perfect night made by an amazing waiter who cares about his service and interactions with his guests!

    House sauces that come with steak
    Mariah K.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Such a great find. We didn't have a reservation but luckily there was some corner space in the bar area for our group. We got Slo n easy martinis and were so good. A nice twist on a classic martini. We ordered bone marrow tots, beet salad, and oysters as apps. Then the burger, chicken, and hanger steak for mains, and Brussels sprouts for a side. The tots were decadent and flavorful and still had a nice crisp. The Brussels sprouts had a great balance with the pickled onions and bacon for flavor. Oysters were fresh and also just looked so good when served. Steak and the sauces were so fresh and loved the chimichurri. The chicken was so so juicy and burger was definitely bigger than expected and perfect. I'd come back again and highly recommend.

    12 oz rib eye charred and rare

    Celebrated my 65th birthday and decided to try out Ox Anchor. We had a great dining experience. Our server, Marcus, was very friendly and attentive. He was very welcoming and shared some of his favorites on the menu. We started with the grilled artichokes, yellowfin tuna tartare and 1/2 dozen local Morro Bay raw oysters. Everything was great. The freshly baked sour dough bread and focaccia along with the salted butter was delicious. Two of us had the 12 oz ribeye and the other two had Snake River Farms Wagyu flat iron. The ribeye was cooked to perfection but the SPF Wagyu melted into your mouth. We shared grilled asparagus and the mash potatoes. Since it was my birthday, I received a complimentary strawberry shortcake dessert. It was yummy. My family all agree that we will be returning to Ox Anchor in the future.

    Ox + Anchor - My family & I had made an impromptu trip to SLO & the last evening we were there we decided to find a steakhouse near our hotel. I made reservations for 745 & we checked in a little bit before our reservation time to see if they had anything available sooner. The manager & the hostess both were so helpful & got us a table after a few minutes. We started with the dumplings & I ordered the SLO n Easy. The dumplings were full of flavor & they were the perfect appetizer. They also brought out complimentary bread & butter with sea salt. My husband ordered a Ribeye & I ordered the Filet Mignon. Both came out at the perfect temp & the creamed spinach was a great shareable size. Our server, Tory was extremely hospitable & sweet. I ordered another drink & they were both so good. We ordered the Baked Alaska & it was presented at our table. Such a unique combination of cake/ice cream. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous & we sat near the window where my daughter was able to see the food being prepped & she had a good time watching & waving at everyone! The service was amazing from the very beginning. Everyone we came in contact with were super friendly & accommodating. If you are in the area & you are looking for quality service & amazing top notch food, this is the spot!

    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?

We brought an older bottle of wine that required the tong type opener so the cork wouldn't break apart. Being the quality of the restaurant I was surprised that they didn't have which resulted in the breakage of the cork even with the most qualified employee. They brought the wine in the decanter which worked out. The young man we hi was our server was very pleasant, but I believe he still has some work towards balancing table needs. We had to ask a few times for utensils and our oysters. It wasn't his fault that they were lacking in the bar, but after we didn't receive them at the end of dinner we cancelled. He brought them out on the house. There were only 6 of them and they were so small. The halibut entrees were just ok. One plate was mentioned it was on the dry side. The calamari and clam chowder were excellent. The overall ambience was nice, but the noise level took away from it. Then you add the volume of guests and it reflected on the service provided.

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.

They also gave us complementary bread before we received our meal, and a lot of the dishes were unique and plated well.

I came into Novo with high expectations and my expectations were exceeded. Calamari: Who doesn't want Calamari on the Central Coast, for me it's a must. But can we take a moment to complement the sauces they pair with the calamari. Novo's calamari is paired with a tartar sauce and a sweet chili sauce. Definitely a first experience for me and I was beyond impressed. My taste buds danced because,whoever, is out here making many and flavor pairings for Novo has unlocked a new game mode for me. If you ever are wondering what appetizer to try, this right here is my first recommendation. Blackberry Ginger Cooler: The mocktail was beautiful and also a great pairing. I would love to try their other drinks soon. Matcha Strawberry Trifle: My mom, sisters, and I agreed on this dessert and let me tell you, I'm so glad we did. The matcha trifle had so much goodness to it we spent time trying to guess what flavors were in its profile. Think a berry chantilly from Whole Foods, but with matcha flavor and so fresh! Immediately after finishing my little sister said I had to learn to make this specific dessert and needless to say I don't disagree. It was balanced in sweetness, very light, and a great summer dessert. King Salmon: 2 please! The king salmon comes with Tabbouleh and green beans. This dish was my mom's and she was very pleased. One part of food I enjoy is not just the eating and experience, it's the aspect of reminisce in the flavors, analysis of the cooking, and trying to gauge cooking technique. For this dish, the salmon was perfectly cooked and it is not what we expected in the best way possible. This dish had so many different flavor profiles and wait until you taste the added kick of wasabi. Can I get another round? Korean Short Ribs: When I first saw this on the menu I was struck with asking myself how this dish might taste. It was one of those dishes where I thought, I have had plenty of short rib, I have had kimchi, but I have never seen them on one plate. More than that, I was hesitant as I like kimchi but not my to go to choice, nonetheless, I was drawn to this dish so of course I ordered it. Wow! Was I glad I did. My sister had the same order and we agreed the kimchi had such a nice kick to it. The spare rib was also thinly sliced making this dish easy and yummy. Now don't let that kick of heat scare you, I encourage everyone to try this dish. The rice sort of acts as a contrasting agent to help tone down the flavor and you just have to try it all together. All that said, I think service was awesome, then again SLO is a beautiful heart in California. But seriously we had an awesome waiter who shared with me the history of the restaurant. The story is also on their menu, but Nova's little sister restaurant is Red Luna and the big sister restaurant is Robin's Restaurant in Cambria. So good to know because I can now see how all this deliciousness connects! Big fan of these places and it's great to know they are one family. I don't think I have a favorite sibling of the three, but here's to another 5 stars for the middle child.
