I was told the dish doesn't really fit the theme and the chef only puts on when he randomly feels like it.

Very convenient for me as I work downtown.<br /><br />Put simply, the Lazy Ox was wonderful. Excellent, flavorful food and a very friendly and welcoming staff. I sat at the bar and chatted with Eli, the bartender. We discussed all the various beers and specials (as well as our respective golf games....). Ended up order Asahi on tap as well as a local beer made in Fullerton called (I think) "Palomino." This beer was so enjoyable. Reminded me of a hot summer day despite the cold, rainy conditions<br /><br />I also spoke with a waiter who, upon mentioning your website and review, said that he served you and your dining companion. What stood out with him was the incredible amount of food you consumed! It was very funny. Both he and the bartender said they were going to read the review at their earliest convenience.<br /><br />As for my lunch, sadly, they were out of the razor clams and the baco due to their incredible popularity. Instead, I had the yellowtail, which was just wonderful as well as the oyster po'boy which was perfectly seasoned, and both crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside... A true delight. <br /><br />For dessert, I tried the chocolate pate, which was a sublime chocolate experience for a chocolate lover.<br /><br />For those that live or work nearby, this should make it into your regular rotation. For those that are hesitant to drive to downtown, it is well worth it.<br /><br />Excellent review, as always, Kevin. I hope word spreads about the Lazy Ox. To me, it's a true treasure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-91912945908398928052010-01-20T20:58:44.762-08:002010-01-20T20:58:44.762-08:00Thanks Holly!

I love your blog. I've been to many of these restaurants due to the generosity of my rich ass father. Praise God for the surplus of oil in the gulf of mexico.<br /><br />But I digress. Do you have a sexy twenty-something daughter?

I absolutely loved their braised beef paleron; in fact, I would easily give it the nod over our pot roast at Jar!
