My wife and I ate at the Ox and Ocean located at the Mandalay Beach hotel resort for breakfast. The restaurant has a nice inside decorum. We had brunch and the food was very delicious. We definitely recommend the strawberry fruit smoothie! The service was excellent and all the staff were very helpful. We had some specific questions about dietary restrictions and they always the answer to our questions promptly. They had a nice outdoor seating and outdoor bar area, which looks nice to enjoy on a sunny day. Later in the day, we ordered food from the restaurant to enjoy by the pool. The cheeseburger and wings were amazing. They were seasoned well and quite tasty. If you are staying at the hotel or in the area it’s a good place to grab a bite!

Locals here. Came here for our anniversary and had an amazing time. Just wanted to highlight our attentive waiter named Aga. Busy afternoon but didn't feel rushed. She was such a star with her accomodations and superb service. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely be back just because of her service. Food was definitely on point too. Prime NY strip served as ordered. Not overcooked nor undercooked. Caesar salad was superb. Halibut was cooked just right. Already planning our next visit.

Ox & Ocean was an absolute standout! The food was incredible from start to finish. If you’re dining here, do yourself a favor and order the beets and the New York steak—both were exceptional and easily some of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. That said, the real star of the evening was our server, Aga. She was everything you hope for in hospitality: warm, engaging, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to interact with. Her personality elevated the entire experience, and she struck the perfect balance between professionalism and making us feel like welcomed guests. Amazing food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable dining experience. Aga made our night. 10/10 across the board—we’ll absolutely be back!

5 stars all around. The staff were so welcoming and kind! The manager was attentive and had great recommendations. The mimosa flight was a bit of a let down but everything else was delicious! The BBQ sandwich was a bit messy/saucy but the meat was tender. The vegetable omelet was amazing! The potatoes are very well seasoned and crisp. Definitely recommend.
