Ox and Angela - Calgary

Fantastic make over on the place however brunch was mediocre and over priced ....We had the Hermano $18.00 for a few eggs, greasy sausage ... cannot remember the rest as it was very pedestrian ... service was good but food always comes first with me!!

Great variety on the "Brunch Table" the Chef's selection of Tapas. Lots of food for us...we ate it all so none would go to waste.

Very good range of Tapas and excellent support for our Coeliac friend. Apparently the owner is Coeliac so that helps. Good range of wines as well.The only thing we didn't like is the fact the place is noisy as there are no absorbent surfaces, so having a conversation is difficult.

The same place as the Ox and Angela, but renovated and now operating under the name of The Ox, and still serving great tapas with super service.My son and I were there for brunch one sunny August morning. Lots of choices, many tapas items, some breakfast plates (bennies, eggs, salads, all with a Spanish twist) and a set price 3 course brunch special. We opted for the tapas since that would give us the widest flavour spread and taste. We tend to d that with a new place to see what the kitchen can do. I started with a coffee, nice and my cup was ever full.So, we ordered 6 tapas items and all were wonderful.- stuffed dates - 3 dates stuffed with cheese, at $9,, a little pricey, but oh, so delicious.- serrano ham - very tasty smoked and cured ham $14, be warned though, it does not come with bread or crackers.- ensalada - my son's green choice, a large green salad with apple slices and shredded cheese, $11.- toritlla - a large slice of a cheese omelette with paprika and aioli topping, $7.- patates brava - $10 for a large plate of small potatoes fried and on a salsa sauce topped with garlic aioli, yummy!- spinach potato croquet- $8 for 2 deep fried potato and spinach mixture.Everything was no less than super tasting. As I said, service was outstanding. The only downside is that the place is a little pricey, but then, you do get what you pay for.The bill total, excluding tip, was $66. You must give The Ox a try even if it means going out of your way.

Attempted to eat here for dinner, but left prior to ordering. Restaurant was about 25% full, but because of the new seating arrangement (benchette and tables placed with 2ft spacing) and everybody being squeezed into a small area, it's noisy and you can't hear/talk to your company with shouting.Did ask to be seated in one of the small empty booths, but was told they don't permit couples to use those.
