We were greeted and promptly seated by our waiter. At first glance from the outside it didn't seem like much but when we entered, the restaurant had nice decor and a more upscale feel to it which was nice considering its location on a strip plaza.
The first thing to note is that they do not serve alcoholic beverages. For most it would be a deal breaker, but luckily we aren't big drinkers. We had the raspberry mojito and a mango lychee smoothie. They were both very good and different, with the mojito being spritzy and the smoothie was refreshing and fruity. Really good for mocktails
We were then served an appetizer platter for two which was nicely presented on a wood board. We enjoyed all appetizers and this was actually quite filling. I personally enjoyed the sliders and jalapeƱo poppers the most and my dining partner enjoyed the dip and wings. After this we were stuffed, but we still had our main course on its way.
Our main course was the meat platter again served on a wood board with various meats but the one that caught our attention was the massive beef rib - it was delicious and perfectly cooked. The steak on the platter was also a highlight, we had ordered it medium rare and it came moist and soft!
Overall I would visit Black Ox again however due to the size of the portions I'd only order one platter to share between two. Great customer service and I loved the staff's knowledge on the items on the menu.
