The Oxford Kitchen and Gastropub

One of those, we wanted to like it reviews... so, bluntly, we were not pleased with our dining experience at Oxford. Where to begin? First, I definitely noticed they were short staffed on a Saturday night and the staff they had was doing the best they could, I guess. I was seated facing the wall, but I think I only saw 2 wait staff and 1 bartender trying to service a fairly full restaurant, maybe ~50 people. Unfortunately for us, the experience started into a downward spiral before we were even seated, as the wait staff person filling in for the absent hostess said to the other wait staff person who would walk us to a table, "seat them at whatever open 2 top" - not a huge deal, but kind of a "low class" thing to say in front of customers, after I had made a reservation. We were seated and

I came here to celebrate my father's birthday. Upon arrival, we were greeted and there was plenty of seating for my party. All the main entrees on the menu were pretty expensive and did not strike me as very appetizing. Upon ordering, the food took forever (20-30 minutes) to arrive at my table, despite the business not looking very busy on a Saturday night. I ordered the Fish and Chips which I assumed was the safe option but turned out to be a mistake. The fish was extremely bland and I had to nearly force myself to finish once I exhausted the small portion of dipping sauce that accompanied the dish. The chips were decent. Overall I enjoyed the appetizer the most which was a deep-fried Macaroni and Cheese plate. To the restaurants credit, they did provide my father a complimentary dess

The menu suggests there is London as an influence (Britain, UK) but they have strayed a bit from this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad at all, and I think they have done well to keep the menu size down. They could just be a little more authentic. Scotch eggs: These were good. Could take a little more salt and pepper but tasty. They are ground lamb scotch eggs, which is not the traditional variety from the UK. Ground pork is the traditional coating around the egg. Great to see the eggs not rock hard inside. Just cooked nicely. And beautifully presented. I would suggest add a small fork to the serving platter if it is being shared. As a group, nobody wanted to use their own “used” fork to take some coleslaw from the platter. Fish and chips: In the UK fish and chips is served with a piece

The Chicken Pot Pie is good, with a flaky pastry topping and plenty of flavor. Cocktails were also good. Service was poor, with the waiter failing to take our food order until the drinks had arrived. Then the wrong food showed up, before being taken away and delivered to another table. No offers to refresh drinks despite them being obviously empty and others at the table ordering more. The place is loud without any soft furnishings, making conversation hard. Go to Roberto's nearby, it's much better.

Perfect British pub, food is well cooked and very close to the authentic British pub food. Pot pie, chicken kababs and chicken flat bread is to die for ! The fusion of Indian and Mediterranean taste symbolizes the classic London pub food. Great drinks, great menu items and ambience is also pretty good. Prices on the higher side though ! Worth a try for a nice dinner date !
