| - So, we went to Ox and Angela for my mother's birthday. It's pretty dark inside, but it feels cozy. The service we had all night was OUTSTANDING. Our official waitress was fun and understanding and had great opinions about the menu.
We ordered the stuffed dates, piquillo peppers, fried goat cheese, marinated beets, mushrooms on toast, carrots and squash, and the ZFC! The food was SPECTACULAR. The dates were perfectly balanced with the cheese and walnuts - we had them remove the ham because my mother is vegetarian, but it was still delicious. The fried goat cheese was by far my favourite part of the night - we had it served with bruschetta on bread and everything worked so well together. The mushrooms on toast were also a big hit - the egg was poached PERFECTLY. The only criticisms I have would be that the beets lacked some flavour, but the overall dish was balanced, and the carrots could have been cooked for a while longer. Lastly, the ZFC was nothing to write home about. There was hardly any flavour in the breading or the chicken itself, and to be honest, my sister and I both got sick from it, which sucked.
Overall, I would definitely return because my overall experience was very good!
Oh, last thing I wanted to mention - the waitress said the best way to eat here is to order about two tapas dishes per person, then add any of the bar snacks on top of that, and this formula worked perfectly for us. Another tip - almost everything comes in threes, so prepare for that.
