| - This is my ideal dining experience and favorite Fox restaurant, hands down. O&I is absolutely wonderful. Even after a scorching summer day, the patio offers a gorgeous tuscan ambiance with a canopy of well groomed trees, expertly placed misters, strung Edison bulbs, and an overall understated elegance. So dreamy.
That's all you really need to know, but I'll humor you since you're reading reviews for a reason, hm?
Bruschetta sampler: Prosciutto/fig, Manchego/chorizo, Apple/Brie
All of them were delicious, though the prosciutto one was hard to eat due to the meat not having been cut...the bread was cut into thirds prior to the meat being added so we had to remove all the arugula and cut the meat, then re-build the app. That was weird. But the flavor was A+
We drank the white wine sangria, which packs a punch thanks to the brandy, and the cactus blossom cocktail. Both were great on a warm summer evening.
Seabass: though I did enjoy it, I wouldn't order it again. It was well prepared but I prefer fish without the gray meat as it tastes a little gamey...Again, just my preference. The sides it came with were small, but good. The few pieces of "caramelized" cauliflower left something to be desired as it was closer to just roasted cauli, but the candied grapefruit and snap peas were perfect with the mild white fish.
Filet Mignon: served with horseradish potatoes & red wine shallots--stole the show, without a doubt. Nothing to complain about here. My husband ordered it rare, and it came out with a lovely charred crust and warm red center. Beautiful. Plate envy for sure.
Cheesecake w/ stewed peaches: Decadent and delicious, and certainly enough for two after all the food we'd already had.
Roll me out and valet the car, dear. I am deliriously happy.
PS - the bathrooms are rad.
