Reservations are live! Georgetown finally has a steakhouse worth the reservation.
Ox & Olive Lands in a Hidden Georgetown Alleyway
Michelin-starred Chef Ryan Ratino is one of the youngest chefs in the country to earn that honor. Now, he is channeling his Midwestern roots into something new: Ox & Olive. The 50-seat steakhouse sits tucked into a hidden alleyway at 3201 Cherry Hill Lane. It opens in early 2026. Ratino long identified Georgetown as the right market, and when the space became available, he moved fast. The intimate setting suits his vision perfectly.
Michelin Pedigree Powers This New Georgetown Concept
Hive Hospitality is the acclaimed group behind Ox and Olive. Additionally, they operate Bresca (one MICHELIN star) and the two-starred tasting room Jônt, located directly upstairs. Their portfolio also includes Maass at Four Seasons Fort Lauderdale and Ômo by Jônt. At Ox & Olive, exceptional cuts of meat are prepared with precision. Furthermore, Ratino’s refined sensibility keeps the experience approachable rather than stuffy. Serious craft is the standard here!
Georgetown’s Most Talked-About Opening Is Almost Here
