bitches!
i absolutely LOVE this place.
i'm pretty sure the oxford is one of my favourite places in raleigh. (no need to worry, flying saucer. i'll never cheat on you... xoxo)
there are a ridiculous amount of fabulous things on their menu. too many too even discuss!
but i will say that i've had enough food and beer off their menu to dub them... amazing!
this evening i had panko covered avocado fries. yeah, you heard me right, bitches. avocado fries. deliciously creamy slices of avocado, covered in panko, deep fried, and served with chipotle cream sauce. honestly, this is the first place i ever had these deliciously golden brown pieces of heaven, and they're outstanding.
additionally, i had a greek salad. boring, i know.
then, the royal oscar chicken. what royal and oscar have to do with a chicken dinner is beside me. i do know that this plate of meat, potatoes, and veggies was out of this world. some ashley farms chicken (organic and locally grown... woot!) with asparagus and a lobster/crab mash... this dish was... regal. it was rich and delicious, the chicken had a crispy seasoned skin with flavourful mash and the asparagus gave me a little... summer. my only complaint was how salty the dish was. in the defense of the nearly-untouchable oxford, i don't eat salt often. i rarely cook with it (after the brontosaurus diet) and i infrequently add it to anything. i feel that i'm hypersensitive to salt, so i'm sure my complaint is my personal downfall. other than that... bring on the food & beer!
located in downtown raleigh, across from the wake county court house, the oxford is an amazing place to hang out, drink, eat appetizers, dinner, or late night snacks. (i've been there for all...) the atmosphere is one you would want in your house, and the food is original & gratifying.
get your ass on a plane, and get down here.
...maybe i'll even buy you dinner.
