Ox & Olive: Ryan Ratino Brings a Modern Steakhouse to Georgetown

Chef Ryan Ratino, the restaurateur behind DC favorites Jônt and Bresca, has launched Ox & Olive in Georgetown, positioning the restaurant as a modern interpretation of the steakhouse. According to Eater DC, Ox & Olive officially opens to the public this week.

The new spot arrives as part of a broader wave of steakhouse openings nationwide, but its location and Ratino’s local profile give it specific relevance to Washington’s dining circuit. Ratino’s previous projects earned strong attention in the city’s fine-dining community, and Ox & Olive aims to offer a contemporary, steak-focused option for Georgetown diners.

Details released so far by the reporting outlet focus on the concept and timing; further specifics on menu items, prices, and reservation availability were not published in the source article. Local diners, food critics and neighborhood restaurateurs will be watching how Ratino’s new concept fits into Georgetown’s established restaurant mix.
