   It was my wife’s birthday so decided to go somewhere different. I had mentioned it was my wife’s birthday when I booked the table. But nothing was mentioned nor anything else so a little disappointed but everything else was perfect.

   The menu was creative, and the chef clearly knows what he is doing in mixing diverse flavors and ingredients. Having a more moderately priced 3-course lunch menu to supplement the a la carte choices was helpful in keeping the overall price down while maintaining good quality overall.

   We booked well in advance as this was our wedding anniversary. However we were initially placed upstairs which has little ambience. When asked our waiter swiftly moved us to a downstairs table which was nice of him as this had a more lively atmosphere. My potted crab starter was delicious. However my husband's vegetable soup with pistou had no discernible pistou sauce - either on top as is usual - or mixed in, and was rather insipid tasting. My husband's plaice was good fish but the sauce was fairly bland. My confit chicken came in a very tasteless sauce/gravy - I am sure it was confit chicken but it seemed more like a slightly undercooked chicken casserole. It looked fatty and unappetising. Both main courses were huge which is unusual for a restaurant of this quality. The triple cooked chips were fab - and the Chablis was nice - at a price. Staff were pleasant and overall we enjoyed our evening - but not a lot of the food! We are long term residents of Oxford and eat out regularly but the last time we came to this restaurant was well before Covid and we weren't that impressed then. We thought we'd give it another go but there seems to be no set standard for the quality of the dishes. My crab was high class stuff - the rest disappointing. Maybe it just depends what you choose but next we spend £140 on food it won't, sadly, be at No 1 Ship Street.

   A perfect lunch to celebrate my sons graduation. Food was delicious, service fantastic, lovely waitress who couldn’t do enough for us. Altogether a wonderful experience which we shall definitely be repeating. If you haven’t tried this restaurant yet I urge you to do so. Thank you to all at No. 1 Ship street for making what was a very special day for us memorable !

    This was a birthday dinner for my wife. We chose the restaurant because we had had good meals there previously and we were not disappointed. I particularly enjoyed the lobster bisque and delicious bread. My wife said the lamb was the best ever - and as a New Zealander she has high standards!

    We were lucky to get a table upstairs which I personally prefer, but downstairs is lovely too, a bit cozier. We were hosting friends visiting from New York. They loved it as much as we did. Good good, great service. Go!

    We were dreadfully late and they were so lovely. We had a delightful table although restaurant was busy. Courgette flowers in tempura were excellent. We followed this with a glorious tomato and mozzarella risotto - simply scrumptious! A carafe of very pleasing rosé accompanied this. Service was prompt but not too much so. We missed our train - only because we arrived so late - but it was worth it!!

    Excellent service, very smiley, helpful waitress. Our table lacked privacy as it was next to the dresser where plates, cutlery etc., were stored, so there were staff coming and going right by us. The menu was interesting with a good range of specials. Our starters arrived very quickly, but before our bread and olives, so we ended up eating everything together. We both chose the hake for our mains and all the food was delicious. An enjoyable evening overall with a couple of minor issues, but we would definitely visit again.

    We dined at No 1 Ship Street on evening of 6 September for a special occasion. Ambience was cosy. Service was friendly but got my starter order wrong which caused a 10 min delay after my wife was served hers before mine appeared. When it did (devilled kidneys), the mushroom served with it was rubbery and I had to ask the waitress what it was. My wife had pistou soup which had undercooked vegetables. We both had monkfish for the main course and I was assured it was fresh. However we both found it rubbery and tasteless. Disappointing. After knocking off 1 glass of wine for the delay on the starter, the bill came to £110 which seems poor value. We didn’t try out the deserts.

    I was expecting better. The starters were interesting. I had the kidneys which were nicely cooked but so few...more about the toast than the kidneys. The mains were less exciting and the grills menu expensive. The specials were all fish. We were slow to choose a mains as nothing excited us. Went for the confit chicken. It was ok. Didn't have a desert. No1 Ship Street - not really a brasserie not quite a 5 star eating experience. Good location. Nice staff.

    Great oysters, tasty snails. Good wine and cheer. We had a lovely meal and the service was great. The only let down was the very dry confit of chicken, which my 14 year-old struggled with enjoying. We would go again and make him choose differently next time.
