I ebb & flow
When a 100 year-old South Osborne building became available, a group of co-workers from The Roost jumped at the chance to create something new. The Oxbow, a warm and inviting eatery, rotates four-course prix fixe menu that showcases regional ingredients. Pork shoulder, rabbit fettuccine and beef brisket are already making an impression. 557 Osborne St, 204-691-5373— NB
