The Scene – When the Oxbow opened, few expected it to become one of the city's best-kept secrets. At least not so quickly.

Was delighted to know there was a great hamburger place close so I surprised my husband by taking him there. The first visit was okay although getting the wait staff's attention required getting up and going to the bar. The next 2 times we had the same problem with getting the attention of staff. The burger were never cooked as ordered, and my request for a slice of onion resulted in 2 rings of onion being placed on the burger. Personally I feel like we gave them 3 chances to get it right and they couldn't manage it. We will not try again.
- Pros: not busy and no one in the resturant part around 5-6
- Cons: hard to get the attention of wait staff, food not cooked to order, interesting parking
