What to know
Ox Bar & Hearth™ arrived in 2025 as a love letter to Midwestern hospitality and the primal pleasures of fire-cooked food. Chef John Asbaty built a menu that elevates hyper-local produce and proteins through a wood-burning hearth, while Alain Uy focused on shaping the dining room into a true neighborhood gathering spot. The restaurant matters because it reconnects Chicago diners with seasonal rhythms and communal warmth, all inside a restored historic space that feels both familiar and new.
