   I’ve been several times, but today was a “girl’s lunch”. One in our group has never been and loved it. She ordered a salad with blackened mahi. I had the blackened grouper sandwich and our other friend had the grilled cheese with bacon. We all enjoyed our lunch! Can’t go wrong with Oxbow!!

   We were seeking waterside dining for lunch. It was our first visit to this great location with easy & free street parking on Sunday. We sat outdoors on the back side of restaurant. All 3 of us very much enjoyed our lunch of VA oysters, prime rib stew and seafood chowder, cobia & fish and chips. The cocktail menu was exciting and season appropriate and we were delighted for Castle & Key Harvest gin from KY (a fav of ours) to be featured & it was spectacular. Our server was great and she gave us just the right amount of attention. They had live music inside but we didn’t get to enjoy. The only critique is that the oysters seemed pre shucked. They were good but pricey and lacked the juice of a fresh shucked oyster!

   Loud echo environment. We were there at night so no view of the river. I had the NOLA Bbq Shrimp that more like tomato soup with little bit of Worcestershire. Shrimp were small to medium . If you are looking for authentic Bbq shrimp this is not it. Wine was expensive. May go back just for the view but was disappointed in what could be an amazing place.

   The drinks were fine but the rest of the experience was extremely disappointing. The tap water had a bad taste to it. The grilled cheese was mostly bread and had bad flavor. The fish sandwich was bland and dry. Overall, I would not recommend.

   I thought the food was good but the blackened fish wasn’t “blackened “ at all. There’s definitely a difference not only visually but in taste - big time. I liked everything else. The staff was super nice and I always like eating on the water.

   We did find the menu for entrees to be rather limited. I’ve eaten here a few other times and missed some of the previous options. We shared appetizers … the goat cheese fritters w/pepper jam were amazing. The mock tails were great, as was the smoked fish dip.

   Not good service! Very expensive for what you get! Noise level is loud & a server dropped a whole tray right behind us!
