About the restaurant

There may be nothing that brings people together as often as food and drink. A daytime affair, The Restaurant serves weekday breakfast and lunch, weekend brunch, and afternoon tea, where guests may be seated in an art-filled dining room with an open kitchen or the sunlit Conservatory, complete with creeping vines and a retractable glass roof. Showcasing continued attention to detail, the menu consists of fresh, seasonal, signature dishes, complemented by an array of premium coffees, teas, and cocktails for a new translation of the classic bistro.

I have been to Oxford Exchange several times. The food is never really memorable and we go there more for the experience and ambience. However, this last visit was a nice surprise. The food was actually very delicious. I’m not sure if they changed chefs but keep who you have now!

We had a department Christmas lunch—party of 13 at a nice long table. TdB is a great venue for an event like this. Our waiter was excellent. After his introduction, being able to head straight to the salad bar kicked things off right. Ditto to the gentlemen visiting often with the various meat selections—taking things to the next level! It was my first time visiting a churrascaria and what an experience!
