Great food, excellent service and a really good atmosphere!
Seven of us had a variety of excellent starters and mains, the steak was superb. The crab starter was excellent, the cheese board fresh and really tasty. A good wine selection, beers only served by the half glass.
The layout of the tables meant they could cater for an intimate 2 or a bugger group and still keep the service going and the atmosphere great. Our guests from France and the US were very impressed with the whole evening.
Well recommended!

The food is well prepared and well presented. We had an excellent meal and the waiters brought the different dishes after checking with us that we were ready for the next course. Had a most pleasant evening.

Loved, loved, LOVED this place!
We came to Oxford for the day and were searching on TripAdvisor for somewhere to eat before coming home. We stumbled across this place and LOVED IT.
First of all, it has a cool relaxed vibe with sofas, candles, cushions and low lighting. Really loved the atmosphere. Could have stayed in there all night drinking and eating if it wasn't for the fact we had to drive home.
The service is really good, a lovely Spanish lady took our order and they make you feel really welcome.
What surprised us was the value of the food, the tapas was around 4 or 5 pounds for a dish, which we didn't think was too expensive.
We had the churros for pudding which were the best we h

Shopping
Lovely shopping centre
Having read some not-so-happy reviews, I didn't know what to expect from this shopping centre, but myself, my friend and our teenage daughters were very pleasantly surprised. I thought the design was stylish and modern, and full of atmosphere with the Christmas lights.
Several ground floor eateries are grouped together in a shared space which looked cosy, inviting and interesting - not your usual fast food rubbish. Further restaurants on the first floor gallery again offered an enticing and varied selection of eating styles, but the icing on the cake is the beautifully planted upper terrace, with more premium restaurants and tables overlooking the city. We enjoyed a

Getting Around
As a frequent user of this bus service, I'm a huge fan. It runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it's a comfortable and affordable ride. Other than traffic, which is beyond their control, I have to say it's a great service.

Drinks & Nightlife
What a good pub
We've been stopping here on and off for many years and it never disappoints. Good atmosphere, very pleasant outdoor area and decent friendly staff. Worth a visit.

Sightseeing
Where Tolkien and Lewis strolled
The grounds and buildings were beautiful - well-kept and majestic. The Tower stands as it did in the 16th century, the Cloisters were serene, and the Chapel is still in operation. The highlight for me was Addison's Walk. Imagine: both CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien strolled here, while discussing the finer points of myth and metaphor. There are deer grazing freely along the walk. Apparently there is also a lamp post somewhere on the grounds that may have been the inspiration for the lamp post in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"!
