Ox & Ocean

Aga gave us a wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary/Valentines we will be back just for her service and warm energy! Food was delicious as well we loved the crab cakes and the tartar😛 she was so sweet enough to recommend a 0 proof drink that was so yummy sour and sweet since I’m pregnant and it was phenomenal

My wife and I ate at the Ox and Ocean located at the Mandalay Beach hotel resort for breakfast. The restaurant has a nice inside decorum. We had brunch and the food was very delicious. We definitely recommend the strawberry fruit smoothie! The service was excellent and all the staff were very helpful. We had some specific questions about dietary restrictions and they always the answer to our questions promptly. They had a nice outdoor seating and outdoor bar area, which looks nice to enjoy on a sunny day. Later in the day, we ordered food from the restaurant to enjoy by the pool. The cheeseburger and wings were amazing. They were seasoned well and quite tasty. If you are staying at the hotel or in the area it’s a good place to grab a bite!

I’ll admit I was a little concerned at first when I saw the menu was somewhat abbreviated — I wasn’t sure if I’d find something I really liked. I decided to go with the garlic Caesar salad with added chicken, and oh my god, it did not disappoint. The chicken was clearly prepared just for my salad — not something leftover from earlier in the day. It was fresh, tender, flavorful, and definitely not dry. The salad itself was slightly overdressed, but that actually worked for me since I love bold garlic and parmesan flavors. Altogether, the dish was delicious and well-balanced. The service was laid-back, which matched the beachside vibe, but I did notice one drawback: no one offered a refill on drinks. That small detail is the only reason I’m docking one star, because a drink top-up would have

Great meal overall. The salmon, crab cake, and hamachi were all standouts, and even the hamburger was surprisingly good. Service from Aga was excellent — warm, attentive, and she remembered our names, which was a nice touch. Beautiful dining room, too. A spot we’d happily return to.Great meal overall.

Aga and Michelle were the best and most fabulous servers ever, always with the best smile and caring for us, besides the food was good. I was a little bit disappointed because they don't have the Paella on Thursday that we were looking forward to, besides that, the service was excellent. Hoping they can be able to update the Menu.
