    We had an excellent, if limited choice, fixed price lunch today. Delicious food, very good value, attentive service, stylish decor. The only criticism is the background so-called music which was merely a loud heavy beat with no tune that at times appeared to be stuck in a groove. Apart from that we would highly recommend the restaurant.

    As always this place is just very good. We had the set two course lunch for £17..... a fantastic smoked mackerel cream coating whole pieces of fish with toast and cornichons followed by one of the best schnitzels, very moist and lightly but crisply breaded, on the market and some fries on the side. The portions were more than generous... which is generally not the case with set lunches, all washed done with a carafe of rose and then coffee.... £70 for two. I call that great value for very top quality. £17 for a two course top restaurant quality meal? You can't get greasy fish and chips in an average pub for that these days!! The staff are always helpful and informative. Attentive but overly so and the young chap we had today was excellent. And when I scored the noise level "quiet" that was a complement. 2/3 of table taken (on a Tuesday lunch time) and a nice hum to the atmosphere. Will be back!

    It was a time limited meal before theatre so the number od dishes sampled was limited. All of us were well satisfied with the quality and presentation of the food. Main dishes arrived quite promptly too but the orders could have been taken quicker. Our first time in this restaurant but I think we will be back to sample more. There are a lot of junk eateries in Oxford so if you want to rise above that, give this place a try.
