This place was insanely good. The service and food is the best in SLO. Came here for my anniversary last night and the waiter knew it was before we even sat down and congratulated us. We ordered the crab cakes, oysters, and pork dumplings as starters and they were phenomenal. Highly recommend the dumplings, it’s a great shareable item and they are perfectly steamed over a delicious soy vinegar sauce. The crab cake was also delicious and they masked their own tartar sauce. For entre I had the hanger steak and my wife had the filet. The tray of complementary sauces was a great touch. The red wine reduction sauce was my favorite. Packed with flavor and it’s so delicious I could drink it. Lastly, they gave us warm towels to freshen up before dessert which was so delightful and they smelled like toasted almonds. The dinner was fantastic and the service was outstanding. Will be back!

It doesn’t give a fine dining vibe, as the decor is rather simple, the bench seat by the kitchen is like sitting in a diner. But the steak…. OMG it was fantastic. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, seared and seasoned to the delight of my taste buds, there was nothing to complain about. The duck was crispy and juicy and the whole meal was one of the best I’ve ever had.

Perfectly cooked steaks as recommended by our awesome server, Marcus. I also enjoyed the lemon cheesecake. Thanks for making our holiday dinner celebration special guys.

Decided to go here last minute and we were lucky to get a reservation. Service was top notch and the food was just amazing. Possibly the best steakhouse in SLO. We couldn’t try desserts because we were so full but will come back for their desserts.

We had a fantastic dinner at Ox + Anchor! The Sichuan Pork Dumplings were tasty, though I found myself missing that bold punch I usually expect from traditional pork dumplings. That said, the Ox + Anchor Eggrolls more than made up for it—absolutely excellent!
For mains, both the 12oz Bacon + Blue Ribeye and the Prime New York were cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and just right. The real surprise star for me was the Yukon Gold Puree… soft, creamy, and indulgent. Honestly, I’m not sure I can go back to regular mashed potatoes again!
The Roasted Brussels Sprouts were a bit too charred for my liking, so I’d probably skip them next time, but that was a small detail in an otherwise great meal. To top it all off, our server surprised me with an amazing Mud Pie dessert for my birthday—such a thoughtful touch!
Overall, a memorable dining experience with great service, and we’ll definitely be back!

Had the most incredible 30th birthday dinner here!
Our server Nicole was an absolute delight. Her and the rest of staff assisting her were so kind! She was so pleasant and knowledgeable and want to highlight her warmth!
The atmosphere was intimate and welcoming but didn’t feel crowded.
The food of course was fantastic. The freshly made focaccia and sourdough were incredible. We ordered egg rolls, dumplings, bone marrow tater tots, truffle fries, Mac&cheese, Brussel sprouts and a variety of steaks were ordered for dinner.
We ended dinner with a cake we brought but they gave us pieces of honeycomb chocolate which was such a sweet end to the night.
Everything was delightful and I can’t wait until the next time I go!

My husband and I have been here twice now, both times celebrating our anniversary. This restaurant is incredible. Everything from the food to the service, you will have an excellent experience. Both times Marcus has been our server and he has made our dinner so special. Love his recommendations, typically I will always order a filet mignon at a steakhouse but this time I did the flat iron wagyu and it was perfect! The mashed potatoes are simply chefs kiss, perfection! This is such a great place, highly recommend dining here.

My husband and I tried Ox + Anchor a few months ago and we LOVED it.
We definitely had to come back again to celebrate our anniversary.
The service, food, and atmosphere is phenomenal.
I totally recommend the Bone marrow tater tots, the Yukon potato purée, Mac and cheese, flat iron steak, the rosemary chicken and the king salmon. EVERYTHING is so good.

We had a fantastic experience here. The service was impeccable and the food was exceptional. Portions were generous—we’ll definitely plan to share more dishes next time. A special thank you to our waiter Jason and wine steward Alan for their outstanding hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back. Side note, Alan might have been the GM, though he was introduced and the wine steward. Either way, we were extremely happy.

This place is amazing!! Came with 6 of my girlfriends and we had the best time. All of the food + drinks were so good (get the Pinot Noir!!) and our waiter Bryan made the whole experience even better. Even if the food wasn’t good I’d probably go back just to hangout with him lol.
But the food was amazing, the desserts, literally everything. They bring you a warm towel with almond extract oil at the end!! Best night ever, GO HERE
