    Wonderful food selection...and the quality never varies. Service is always outstanding...management really understand customer satisfaction. We were fortunate to eat outside, in the setting sun, under the garden's wisteria. What's not to love.

    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
