    Decent menu with a good variety to choose from. Prices about right for the area. Little bit bare and echoey but OK while it was fairly quiet.

    A bright, spacious welcoming venue, staff were very friendly - offering suggestions on who best to enjoy the food. All three main courses were exceptional. Limited choice of desserts as a non ice cream/sorbet eater but the ones chosen were excellent. As a non Oxford resident would definitely visit if back in town
