Ingrid BorlandFebruary 25, 2017I met chimchurri for the first time here and was hooked! The skirt steak was so tender! I tried blood sausage for the first time...very flavorful and rich. You can't go wrong with this place!!
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014We’re crushing on F&W Best New Chefs Greg & Gabrielle Denton! Don’t miss any of the Empanadas, Baked Ricotta, Caramelized Cauliflower, Sunchoke Gratin, the Maitake Mushroom or the Halibut Collar- Vy NguyenJuly 23, 2015Yes the wait is long, get some snacks and cocktails at Whey Bar next door, the smoked lamb heart starter and clam chowder are decadent, I enjoyed the artichoke and short ribs with a glass of Malbec.
- Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014Ox's mouthwatering menu, where vegetable and seafood dishes like Rainbow Chard and Clam Chowder crowned with Smoked Marrow Bone are as satisfying as the tender Skirt Steak. Read more
Nicole FranzenJanuary 15, 20172 hour wait on a Saturday night, ended up being worth it. Amazing steak, chorizo, crispy potatoes with horseradish, chimichurrri, we sat at the bar near the grill, loved it.
EaterJanuary 21, 2013Though meat hitting the grill is the main focus, both veggies and seafood represent well in homey dishes like hominy stew and braised octopus. [Eater Member 38]
Jeff WeinsteinAugust 9, 2014Skirt steak, fish, and mushrooms with liver. Sit at the bar or near the fire. A little expensive but very good. They have some kinda special red wine they make or source or whatever that's real good.
Rory ParnessAugust 8, 2015Sit at the grill for front row view of the action. Fried Terrine, Skirt Steak (a touch above medium rare), artichoke and blistered peppers. Cake and you are done.
Shelby MooreJune 21, 2014Ways to spend a 2-hr wait? They do the brainstorming for you: grab a seat next to a stack of firewood at WheyBar for elite Portland cocktails. Once you're inside, ask what's coming off the wood grill.
Emily HansonOctober 26, 2015Excellent: Stardust (whiskey cocktail), La Yapa (another whiskey cocktail), both types of empanadas, ribeye steak, Brussels sprouts, tres leches cake. Okay: chorizo, hominy.
Karen HJune 10, 2017Everything is amazing, high quality beautifully prepared. Nice atmosphere, excellent service. It is very apparent that the Denton's deserve those awards and accolades
Marcie TranMay 27, 2016Clam chowder is worth the hype. If you're a small party, you might be able to get a seat at the bar and avoid the longer wait- Everyone will recommend the Asado Argentino, but also be sure to start with a cheese board, and end with a Rabid Mastiff. Quite possibly the best restaurant in Portland.
- Maggie C.September 9, 2013Clam chowder and skirt steak is phenomenal. But for the real foodies, start with the grilled lamb heart with arugula. Yum.
Top 5 restaurant. Chowder is unreal. The simple skirt steak couldn't be more flavorful. Side of mushrooms and ricotta has been amazing. Too small a restaurant sometimes and grill smell lingers.
Yes, it's an Argentine steakhouse but oysters and the halibut (served seasonally) are worth sacrificing a night of beef for.
Andrew LeeAugust 23, 2017The ribeye was incredible. The bone marrow chowder was a wonderful adventure. Everything was really delicious. This place is really special.
Kate SchrinskyDecember 27, 2013amazing brussels sprouts and spaghetti squash - this place is not just for meat eaters!! cocktails are delish also, well made and great bartenders.
Alley HectorMarch 12, 2015Portland food already tends to be good so I already feel a little particular. I didn't think there could be a next level but there WAS. This place is AMAZING and def worth a nice night out
Daniele ProanoSeptember 23, 2016The hominy pozole was incredible. Always great food and staff is amazing. Small bar behind main restaurant to wait for your table.
Varun ThotaApril 11, 2013Definitely can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And if there's a long wait, the bar next door, same owner has some quality drinks. Also don't forget that amazing sorbet dessert.
Kemp MullaneyOctober 27, 2015GREAT food. Grab a drink and some oysters at the bar in the back while you wait for your table.
Mike WalekeJuly 20, 2016Everything was pretty great. If you order the ox terrine make sure you have a bite of the terrine before the frozen peas.
FrozendonutApril 18, 2014Skip the Asado Argentino and just order the best meat on it: the skirt steak. (If you get the asado anyway they will do some substitutions.)
Kitt HodOctober 20, 2018Order many dishes from the right side of the menu for the table for a wonderfully diverse and delightful meal!
Ryan DurhamApril 20, 2013The lamb shoulder was some of the best Lamb I have ever had - cooked to perfection! And the veggies were great too!
Stephanie ChaseOctober 4, 2012Don't be turned off by the prices -- the food is meant to be shared family style, and the portions are large. Oh, and everything will taste AMAZING.
Kushal DaveOctober 7, 2016Cauliflower, artichoke and potatoes are all excellent, and the Pizzella is a great wine.
Marie MewJanuary 5, 2015Everything! Delicious steak, awesome sides, superb service and a great atmosphere. A must visit.
Allyson CaseyFebruary 2, 2013If you are sensitive to grill smoke it's not great. Get the 5 Seafood Preparations. Absolutely FANTASTIC !!! Don't get the shirt ribs unless you like mouthfuls of fat. Great service.
Jeff WheelerAugust 8, 2014One of the best meals I've ever had. Their smoked marrow clam crowder and skirt steak. Wow.
The humble short rib terrine is small and unassuming but easily more delicious on its own than the last three meals I've eaten elsewhere.
Robert DurbinSeptember 6, 2013Truly great food. Excellently preparation and quality of flesh, perfectly undercooked as ordered. So happy.
Get a seat at the oven bar. Fantastic food with a show bonus!
GNTLMNFebruary 19, 2014Argentinian inspired cuisine. Haven't had a chance to eat here myself, but have heard nothing but great things about it.
- Mark ThurmanMay 17, 2012Must try the Asado Argentino. Most excellent. So was everything. Just can't go wrong with anything on menu
Sonja LapinskiSeptember 13, 2013excellent service, good food, reasonably priced for the quality, extremely loud and hot (when it's warm outside)
Ashley RoseDecember 8, 2018Service was slow but the food was good. Mushroom and Foie gras side stoke the show, skirt steak was tender.
Just order cake. Don't skip dessert. Seriously, you have to order cake. I don't care if you hate cake. Order it.
