| - My first time at Ox and Angela was fantastic!!!!
We were a large group in on a Saturday night, and usually service can be slow and waiters/waitresses can dread the experience of big tables ( i know I did back in my days) In our case, our server was top notch, answered all of our questions about the menu and gave us recommendations, as well as taking the time to chat casually, despite the busy pace in the restaurant.
The drinks menu is ginornous, but I finally decided to start with a Gorilla Bourbon Cocktail = Bourbon, Chambord,raspberries and cranberry juice.
It was strong, colourful, and not overly sweet. They use the best and freshest ingredients, so none of that gross OceanSpray sweetened water disguised as "cranberry" juice in this drink.
For eats, we went with the cod fritters, the potatos bravas and the tomato on sourdough with white anchovies on top. As espected the food was superb too.
Not to much salt (which I found they use very liberally in Spain) and just the right size bites for our slightly peckish appetite.
There are some bigger plates available, as well as a set menue for larger groups.
I cannot wait to go back and try the paella and more of their smaller dishes.
Great spot for a date, or that in between lunch and dinner time when you've done some shopping with a friend.
THe location O&A currently occupies has been reincarnated numerous times, but I think this time they have what it takes to be one of Calgary's permanent fixtures.
