A little bit about Chef Justin Yu, he has worked some of the country’s most notable restaurants such as *17 in Houston, Green Zebra and Spring Restaurants in Chicago, and Ubuntu in Napa. After staging abroad at In de Wulf in Dranouter, Belgium and AOC and Geranium Restaurants in Copenhagen, Denmark, Justin has come home to open Oxheart to convey a progressive perspective on regional product. In his free time, Justin enjoys hamburgers, traveling, money cats and making side bets on fantasy football leagues. He is known for the unfathomable flavors he can extract from vegetables, which puts Oxheart as one of the top resturants in the country.

At Oxheart there are only 3 choices of menus. The four course, the four course garden menu (strictly vegetarian) and the seven course tasting menu priced at $49 and $79 respectively.
