Went to Ox Bar de Tapas last night (formerly Ox& Angela). We enjoyed it quite a bit. Portion sizes were decent overall, the Patatas bravas were huge, could serve 4 easily. One of the only places that serves Crema Catalana in the city, and they did it well.
Only small downside was our server wasn't the most knowledgeable, when she told us about the desserts, she didn't tell us it was Crema Catalana, she called it "somewhat like a creme caramel", didn't tell us the proper name. We ordered it, figuring it was a flan and were pleasantly surprised when Crema Catalana came out. When we explained to her that her description wasn't correct, she was very confused, I guess she doesn't know what a creme caramel is? A large group came in just as we finished eating and we got a bit ignored right at the end of our meal and had to flag down folks to pay. Crazy loud in there too. Despite this, I'd go back again. Great gin selection.
