    What an enjoyable evening. Food was tasty we tried most things, I like sharing so this was perfect for me. The beers were nice with a good choice, with cool pale ale! The desserts were yummy and if you like the sound of the donuts they are really nice. The service and atmosphere were both perfect. I overheard several people complimenting the manager which I fully concur with. Over all very happy and will visit again soon.

    This place is the place to be in Summertown. I could not fault any aspect. It’s the most beautiful and relaxed environment with first class service. The barman today made the most wonderful cocktail. The food is the best we have had. The flavours and presentation are exquisite. Well done Jonny and the team. X x

    Lovely evening with friends and our first visit to OXTWO. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. Out only complaint was the portion sizes, with many of the sharing dishes only really large enough for one person, so felt a little overpriced.

    The food here is so delicious I am still thinking about it! I really recommend the courgette flower, and the prawns, and the lamb kebab. Though every dish we tried was outstandingly good. It's also a lovely setting with great lighting, great service, and some delicious wines and sparkling wines available to suit all budgets. Get your table booked as soon as you can for this absolute gem.

    A great venue - spacious and well-designed. My only niggle is the chair seat cushion wasn't fastened and kept sliding off. Otherwise a wonderful venue to meet with larger groups of friends or good for couples (the table layout facilitates this). As for the food, the small plates lend themselves to sharing and therefore allowed us to try a wider range of dishes, which were tasty and had great texture combinations. Friendly and helpful service, with a classy, relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely go back!

    The food was superb and the service was also very good. The makeover of the restaurant is really stylish and has a great feel. I'm sure that this will be as successful as the BLT.
