    A delicious meal of mussels and whole roasted place. My husband had pâté and veal. I thought the minted Jersey Royals were rather expensive at £7. Overall a lovely evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a reasonably priced glass of champagne. We will come again.

    Everything was excellent. The pork, pigeon and chicken terrine was exceptional. The moules mariniere special and rose veal schnitzel were excellent. Service was very good. Prices very reasonable for the overall experience.

    It was our first visit to No. 1 Ship Street, and we were pleasantly surprised. We rated the ambience 4 out of 5, simply because it was an extremely hot and humid day, and the space could have used air conditioning—there was only a fan, which wasn't sufficient under the circumstances. We also gave the food a 4 out of 5. The oysters we had as a starter had a somewhat gritty texture, and the mussel course didn’t quite convince us; it was decent, but not particularly memorable. However, our main courses—lamb and lobster—were both outstanding and would have easily deserved a 5. The wine and beverage selection was appropriate, the service was very good, and we had no complaints overall. We can confidently rate No. 1 Ship Street a solid 4 and will certainly return on our next visit to Oxford.
