travel united states oregon portland ox restaurant
We went with a large group to Ox, a very popular Argentine inspired restaurant in Portland, to celebrate my son Wyatt's, birthday.
We ordered a set menu that included twelve platings that were served family style.
The service was good and everything looked fresh and was nicely presented.
If I hadn't over-eaten during the first courses, I would have enjoyed the second course more.
I might have even rated it 5 stars like my son did... if I hadn't stuffed myself so soon.
