No question about ambience. Sunnyvale downtown vibes. Service was great. Table setup is also perfect with views of the bustling street. Food is not so great for the price. Butter chicken tasted pretty bland and sweet. Not many options with cocktails as well.

Beautiful seating arrangement, bar and dining area. Service is above and beyond, made sure everything was on point. pomegranate margaritas and red wine paired perfectly with their steak and shrimps. Restroom is clean and the atmosphere is lovely lighting and vibe are fitting.

Nice and cozy restaurant bars to hang out and have a beer with some finger food. The service is good and friendly. It is nice, clean, quiet, and cozy restaurant. It decorates England style.

Tried the Potato Gnocchi and Mushroom Ravioli. Both were good. Few vegetarian options, not a lot. But you can customize some of the options and get a substitute for meat.Great ambiance and food options overall. Good for large parties.

I went here while traveling to Sunnyvale for work and went back several times. I usually get the pear&avocado salad, the Kobe burger and a Toki highball. I sit at the bar. The highball is executed really nicely, some orange and an airless giant ice cube. The salad is perfect, substantial but not heavy, nicely dressed. The Kobe burger medium is a little pink, really tasty. It’s pretty quiet during the week, staff is friendly but all business. Nice place to unwind.

We had the Of the Older Fashion and NA The Pimm and both were fantastic. I love finding a top-tier mocktail, and this was everything. Perfect balance of sweet and refreshing for a hot summer day. Great service and refined atmosphere; I hope to come back soon.

We had a good time here. The tikka masala is British and delicious, the cheese chicken flatbread is great to nibble with drinks. The banoffee pie is well done as well.

If you crave a delicious, desi, vegetarian burger…they have it at Oxford and they are awesome at their service. It was just mind blowing tasty, just right spicy and warm and big. We also ordered ravioli and chili cheese bread. Their service was top notch, we sat outside with kids and enjoyed are meal.I am coming back for burger, again and again.

A great value add to Downtown Sunnyvale.Great patio dining and wonderful ambience. Superb beers and cocktails. Menu had a great balance of vegetarian, vegan and meat lovers dishes. I had the veggie burger that had great patty and very crispy fries. They call it the Spicy Veggie burger but it was not spicy at all and it was blunt. So, it suits anyone. It went well with a glass of old fashioned. The service is exceptional. They kept checking on us and kept us hydrated with their splendid drinks. Restroom was clean and maintained.

Excellent gem on Murphy avenue. Ive been here many times now. They serve a solid burger and make excellent cocktails. Burgers are everywhere in the US, but its much harder to find a proper cocktail bar in Sunnyvale. Oxford has you covered: the bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. Their Of the Older Fashion is a great twist on the Old Fashion and works very well as an after-dinner cocktail.

We only had drinks at this place but sure intend to go back. The bartenders were friendly and explained the drink ingredients. They let us try their special drink mix. Looked like an interesting English food menu.

Absolutely exceptional food, beyond impressive staff, relaxing atmosphere. Attention to detail unlike most places I have been to in the Bay Area. I had the Potato Gnocchi and strawberry Cheesecake. Complimented well with a wonderful cup of coffee made in a french press right in front of me. I shall be returning to this delightful restaurant anytime I am in the area.

Wonderful English-styled restaurant located in downtown Sunnyvale offering a variety of snacks, drinks, alcoholic beverages, and meals, in a comfortable setting. Highlights are the food which is pretty unique and the happy hour menu and prices. Can be busy at times with limited staffing.[The Food]We were impressed with the menu items they offered here. We ordered a chicken pot pie and a TriTip sandwich, but they have all sorts of things from Jamaican Curried Goat, Chicken Tikka Masala, Salads, and other really unique items that seemed to have an English twist to them. Definitely worth coming for the food.[The Setting]This is one of the first restaurants youll see on the Murphy Ave strip. They have a nice bar table which faces outward to the street, as well as plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating. I really liked all the artwork and thought they put into the theme of the restaurant. It was really clean and well kept.[The Service]The service was great here. The wait was a bit much for the time but I understand many places are understaffed right now. The food and setting made it worth it, just had to drink an extra beer while waiting! All the servers were really friendly and super fast when it came to asking us if we needed anything, etc.Definitely recommended!

The Oxford is an upscale pub in downtown Sunnyvale. Its specialty are its variety of mix drinks, each of which is served in crystal clear ice.I personally recommend the Oxford Burger, its deliciously juicy!

Came here on Friday night for dinner. We had outdoor seating right next to the historic Murphy Ave arch. The lamb kabob with pilaf rice dish that I ordered had a nice presentation; however, after seeing an old photo of the same dish uploaded by another customer, it used to be served with 5 halves of the kabab instead of just 4 halves, and instead of tomatoes and red onion garnish on the plate, it used to be served with a side salad with leafy greens. That and another dish of the salad with a few pieces of avocado and red quinoa sprinkled on top tasted okay. My friend drank only half of the skinny margarita that she ordered, which was a bit on the strong side. The server gave us the dinner menu towards the end of our meal to consider ordering desserts, but I was unimpressed with the two listed dessert items and asked for the check instead as I was trying hard to avoid eye contact the entire time with the homeless guy who sat on a bench near the restaurant with his shopping cart.

I never considered this place, even though I walked through this multiple times. But this one is a really nice place for friday hangout.They have decent vegetarian options. Although the Burger bun does contain egg. The serving size is decent but the sides make it really filling.The french fries that we ordered was also quite tasty.But the thing that really made the difference to me was the service. It was really amazing. I am usually the person who doesnt leave much tip (for a reason I dont want to explain here), but this place I definitely felt they deserved it.The waiter when he realized that I am a pure vegetarian, he not only profusely refused, he also asked if I would like to change the order. When I told him that I was ok, he then got a plate of Peta Bread and Hummus on his own. Just so that I dont go hungry. Ive never had such a great consideration. I dont remember the name of the staff, but if management is reading this, please consider giving him a raise.Overall, the ambiance is quite nice and overall an enjoyable experience!

Pretty nice / fancy pub to check out in downtown Sunnyvale on Murphy. Came here on a Saturday evening and there were plenty of empty tables so seating wasnt an issue.The food and drink itself was decent. I got the vegetarian pot pie and some 🍷 and it was a pleasant ambience to dine in. That being said, I dont think Id frequent this place too often given how expensive it is, but it can be a good place for just drinks.Note that parking can be tricky around this area in general, you likely have to walk a bit.

Great location, food, and vibe. Excellent cocktail selections. The service was too slow for that hour even if not too busy. We literally had to ask multiple times for the food and drinks that we ordered. Other than the delay, everything else was good.

2019-08-30 15:53:53

A very unique spot! The drink selection at this location is very, very large. Lots of interesting classics, mixed drinks, beers, etc. Their food selection is wide - they offer some group plates, apps, and personal dishes. Its a little on the pricier side but they use good ingredients. I enjoyed the meal but I wasnt especially wowed, personally, but thats just me and the other dishes that were there looked unique and interesting. Downtown Sunnyvale is definitely on the come up so I would stop through here for an interesting cocktail and a quick bite.

Came here on a Wednesday happy hour. Ordered the pretzels and chips with curry sauce. Both were tasty pub grubs which went down well with the craft beers on tap. The saffron IPA was flavorful with an unique taste to it. Friendly bartender and service. Good place to come for a drink to relax after work.

2021-10-22 05:06:58

We ordered two cocktail drinks that were so-so. Nothing special. The cheese plate came so late and again nothing special about it. Reminds me of grocery cheeses. Not sure why we had to wait 30 minutes or so for it to arrive. The great Britain paneer masala is again mediocre. For $22 I expect more! Could have gotten it for $12 at other Indian food places. The vegetable pot pie was meh! We would have wanted to get the spicy veggie burger but the patty has eggs and they couldnt make it vegan. Thanks for the experience but not coming back again.

The food was so delicious and service is so good, it was very good but it is so expensive and not enough food for family,we order the biggest order and we stayed hungry the price was ++500 for small meal 😯

2022-02-27 23:31:37

Amazing. Great food all around. Loved the freshly made shepherds pie and mashy peas. The Oxford mule was also very delicious as was the banana chocolouffe. I couldnt get a picture before I ate because it smelled so good. Service was also great. This food was made from scratch and there were several orders before us so it took time, but it was well worth the wait. I look forward to returning.

Review №24

2018-11-10 04:29:35

Surprisingly excellent, scaled up, creative pub-ish food and tasty cocktails in a very nice, modern setting, albeit heavy on the warm lighting. I love shepherds pie and pot pie especially, and these were well worth ordering here. I would be perfectly happy to come back and try more items from their very intriguing menu. Fish and chips, tikka masala burrito, lamb sliders... Yum!UPDATE: Dropped a star for inconsistency (two orders of pot pie came out with one good and one burnt), so-so Cornish pasties (giant empanadas with a side of tomato soup), and outright bad deep fried and battered kale served cold (we expected healthy baked kale chips and were disappointed by the heart attack-inducing, kale-flavored flour nuggets). Service was still good though.

Trendy vibes, not too hard to find seating on a Friday evening. Moderate amount of beer variety. Food selection and taste is mediocre. The dessert bread pudding with brioche is delicious though!

Perfect place to hang out after work. Pretty good ambience with swanky bar. We have ordered Roasted Chickpea Hummus with an Indian bread and it was really good in taste. The ingredients are well cooked and you have an option to make it vegetarian by adding Tofu in it. The staff is really cool and quite helpful. We had couple of drinks.

This was once an amazing Indian restaurant called Rasam’s. Then it became a British pub. Such irony. The food is good enough and the staff is friendly.

2021-06-25 04:44:14

Delicious, they do so many different styles of food so well. Tried the paneer tikka masala, gnocchi, avocado salad, all delicious and beautifully plated. I dont eat meat, but my parents do and they also loved their jamaican goat curry and shepherds pie (or so Im told).

Iconic London Booth.I loved the Oxford Shepherd’s Pie and Peri Peri Roasted Chicken.

Name and decor implies this is an English pub/restaurant. Menu is actually half English and half middle Eastern… ordered fish and chips… all I can say is you should not looking for your fish and chips here……

The ambiance of Oxford Kitchen is amazing, and I love the authenticity of the menu.My husband and I have been here a few times, and the meals are always fantastic! The fish and chips is my favorite in the area. The banoffee tart is a great way to end the night!

Ordered takeout from the Oxford for the first time this year. So glad it’s back and as tasty as we remembered. I had the lamb curry on rice. The kids had the chicken sandwich which they devoured before I could get a photos. We split all the chicken pot pie. Everything was great.

Review №34

Tried the kale omlette, squash ravioli, hashbrowns, veggie burger and a waffle here for breakfast.The staff is very friendly and I loved the place for a good Sunday brunch.Would definitely recommend this one.

We had several platters between our group. The food was good, service was a bit slow. The pub is really nice and its surrounded by other restaurants, plus its next door to a pool hall. It doesnt get much better than that.

Stopped in here Friday night. It wasn’t too busy and we were able to grab an outdoor table and order our food and drinks through our phone. My friend and I both had the Pimm’s Cup and split an order of fries. I also ordered the chicken kebab and hummus. The cocktail and fries were great! The chicken kebab was ok…hummus was a little lacking in flavour and a bit thin. Only three stars because my friend’s food order came out significantly later than my dish and she didn’t like her food (the steak sandwich) at all. The waiter was very apologetic about the delay with her food and provided a complimentary dessert. The dessert was her favourite part of the meal. I would come back for a drink but would consider checking out some reviews for what to order because I don’t think either of us would order the same entres if we return.

The shepards pie was great. The vibe was very chill and slightly dark in a good way.The house cab sauv was somewhat sweet and ok. Not special but did the job!

Amazing place for food and some catch up with buddies. There are a lot of signature dish of theirs. I loved their charred chicken kabab, Oxford fried chicken burger. Their great Britain chicken Tikka masala is great as well. They have option of platters for large groups. This option works out really well for group of friends to try out various dishes before you jump on to the main course. A great fusion menu makes you keep visiting this place. And yes, parking is not a big deal as there are tons parking space across the road.

Located on Murphy Street in Sunnyvale, Oxford Kitchen and Gasteopub is a great place to get food and drinks in Sunnyvale. They have a ton of vegetarian options to choose from for food and a lot of great cocktails as well. Their food portions are huge and fairly prices in my opinion.

In general, this was pretty good. I enjoyed the fish and chips. The only problem was that we were initially seated outside and there was a crazy flock of crows flying above being noisy and occasionally dropping things on our table. We had to move inside.

Review №42

2020-11-26 22:34:35

I judge Oxford kitchen as gastropub. Salad is good but shrimps could be more fresh. Tuna tartar is yummy. Oxford Burger is perfect but French fries is fast food style. I prefer stake fries in gastropubs.

The Oxford Shepherd’s pie was pretty good, but unexpectedly a bit spicy for my taste. The hummus appetizer was very good though!

Just a casual dinner at The Oxford on a slow Monday night. Went in and was immediately greeted by the staff and sat down at a table. I asked my server what he would suggest and he said to get the chicken tikka skewer. It was his favorite thing on the menu and he has it every night. Thats high praise for a dish, so I took his advice. The dish came with 3 Big chicken pieces, mint chutney, naan and a smear of tikka Marsala sauce. Best thing ever!! The chicken was super moist and well seasoned. It didnt even need any sauce, just a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors. The marsala sauce was awesome too. Had to ask for more to dunk the naan. The naan came to the table cold. It was probably pre-made. This was the one disappointing thing to the dish. The dish wouldve been perfect if the naan was made fresh and piping hot. I asked for a side veggie dish that wasnt on the menu and they were so accommodating and made me roasted brussel sprouts. It was caramelized on the cut side. Perfect with the chicken. Overall, a great local spot that is close to home.

A good place with proper ambiance that complements its name. You will find English styled food options. The portion size might be less for some items but generally they taste good. They took a while for completing the order but then it was worth the wait. I cant compare it with other restaurants in downtown Sunnyvale, but it can be in the list of good ones.

Wait worth waiting. Been here at lunch time. Long wait but food is delicious and servings are just right size. I can see 8 nice beers ok n tap and meat is juicy. Atmosphere is noisy chatty and just a tick upscale. Sauces are very good

When to celebrate an event. The place is cute. The staff is amazingly attentive. The food is so good and addictive. Especially their Chicken Tikka Marsala it to die for and their Passion fruit Panna Cotta is the best.I am a panna cotta connoisseur. Besides my homemade panna cotta this is one of the best around. So...with that being said, its a place to check out and go back again. We have several times and loved every time.

I was a late visitor and was in time before the kitchen closes at 8.30pm. I went for the Shepherds pie and it was really good. Beautifully served, clean interior, friendly staff. Too bad they close so early (or maybe Im just used to restaurants open till after 10-11pm which is common in Tokyo).

Service is extremely good, but the food so far has been hot or miss... We came here for dinner and had a great meal and then came here for lunch and had a poor experience despite ordering the same thing both times... I will come back to give it another try!** Update **Super inconsistent experience... Dined here 3x and order the same meal every time, yet I was served something completely different each time haha. First meal was great and the subsequent two were terrible, wont be coming back.Food can be good or terrible, the service is good, the ambiance is cool but loud, and the lack of consistency will keep us from returning.

The food was excellent and staff was unusually attentive to my need to eat gluten free. The server suggested the chicken and modified the sides (quinoa salad was a nice touch). The hummous and cheese dip(?) was memorable. It looked like a nice place, and still far exceeded my expectations.

This place has a great atmosphere and the servers are great. I got the fish and chips and thought they were okay. I’ve definitely had better fish and chips. Still recommend trying.I don’t drink but my friend who comes here often has had their cocktails and thoroughly enjoys them. If I did drink this would probably be a 5 star review!

Excellent eggplant dish with a nice beer, consumed on the outdoor area. I would definitely go back if visiting the area.Only negative was a waiter mumbling every word rendering communication extremely difficult, that may not be the best job for him.

2019-10-22 17:36:53

Was super excited about this place because cocktails sounded great and so did the food. The cocktails were amazing but the food, not so much. The bartender here is amazing and I got their speciality cocktail at the time which was amazing. But the food took forever to arrive, we had ordered a cheese plate which took 40 minutes. There isn’t even anything that needs cooking in a cheese plate. We also got an eggplant curry which was pretty oily and not great. Would recommend this place for cocktails but definitely not for food.

My favorites are the tomato soup and gnocchi.Once I was served a non-veg dish wrongly which gravely upset me. I wasnt super thrilled with the way this was handled. The manager wasnt willing to compensate and didnt appear apologetic as well.But I have forgiven that episode and moved on. Hopefully they will be more careful and empathetic.

Had the veggie pot pie for dinner at this establishment. The veggies in the pie were cooked well but the overall taste and the portion size didnt feel at par with the price of the dish. That said, the ambience & the service was really amazing and the wait staff here is very friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back to try other dishes here.

Dined outside on Murphy Avenue with family. The Oxford was absolutely delightful. The fish ‘n chips is great as expected, but we also all really enjoyed the Pear & Avocado Salad appetizer. It’s glazed with a very nice dressing that compliments everything well. The servers were exceptional and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Personal Note - serving size for Fish & Chips was a tad too much, filled up on the fish and couldnt finish the chips or mushy peas.The above said however - Fish & Chips was awesome, both parts were cooked to perfection (hot and crispy). Served with Mushy Peas which had a great flavour as well.Service was prompt but the ordering was done via a QR code...no biggie there once I figured out how to change between drinks and food on the website that opened up after scanning the code.Would eat & drink (cocktails) here again.

Not a bad bar selection, and the good was pretty decent. Just a bit of an odd vibe when we visited- very quiet despite them showing the warriors game. And the boss seemed annoyed at the patrons asking for the sound on the game to be turned up. Otherwise, an ok choice, but probably better choices on the strip.

First time eating here tonight, and very pleased that my team suggested that we eat here. Being from England they thought that I might like it.Well I did, we were very well taken care of and the gentleman who took care of us was very knowledgeable and informative. The food was outstanding and it was great to find Old Speckled Hen on draft. Ill be back soon.

Great place for family brunch!We stumbled to this place accidentally but it was a happy accident - it was a gorgeous day to sit outside (but under the umbrella).Service is on the slower side, so maybe get a side of bread if youre bringing kids.Food was great! Chicken and waffles were freshly made and crunchy: omelette was well cooked and seasoned: and the chicken pot pie was nice.

It was somewhat unique - British food with Indian twist. Reasonably good. Service was very good getting extra sides (pickles and jalapeno). Personally, a bit expensive and nor unique enough for future return. Hear bar is exceptional but I dont drink.... Good luck.

Ive been here twice: once for food and another for drinks. The food is good, albeit a little pricey. Service and atmosphere is also nice. I really enjoyed the pot pie.The bar is also nice, with a good selection of (expensive) cocktails. During my visit, the bartender seemed a little agitated, but nothing to sour the visit completely.

Weve really enjoyed the Oxford, which is styled on a modern British gastropub, with updated British style favorites and Indian food. Love the fish and chips with mushy peas - its very good, and also very British. They have good cocktails. The service is nice. The place is often hopping. It can be kind of loud. It has live music some nights - which can be a lot of fun, but hard to hold a conversation over.

The food and drinks were overpriced and were fairly mediocre. I ordered my burger medium rare and they cooked it well done. Ordering has to be done through their web app, even when youre in person and their app was pretty frustrating to use. At the end of the night, it was pretty hard for our table to settle our bills become of how they confusingly split up our bill across multiple peoples app. If youre going to Murphy, theres better bars and restaurants (like Metro City) for a more reasonable price.

Met friends for dinner on a Thursday night. Somewhat crowded, but quickly seated in the back. Impressive beer selection.We had the butternut squash ravioli and lamb burgers. The lamb burgers looked great and tasted fantastic. The ravioli was a good sized portion with ample sauce.Pub/bar food? I am not so sure. But we will be going back to sample other beers and other dishes.

Great food and great service! Lovely options for vegetarians and lacto-ovo-vegetarians like myself. We ordered an English omelette brunch with spinach and feta stuffing with potatoes on the side (the order was totally meat free). We were, however, served meat on the side instead. Upon pointing this out, our order was taken back and remade properly, no questions asked. We were specifically asked if it was okay for the meat to be taken off the plate and the potatoes be put on the same plate and served again. We expressed our discomfort and requested for a fresh plate and the entire order was recooked without any drama.We also ordered waffles which came with some cut bananas, strawberries, a small cup of maple syrup and a tiny mound of whipped cream. I do not like maple syrup and requested for it to be replaced with chocolate sauce, which was done at no extra charge (happy me!). However, what was disappointing was that the proportion of the bananas, berries and whipped cream was far too less for one BIG waffle that they serve. I would have given 5 stars if I didnt have to economise so much with my sides and still end up having no sides for more than a quarter of my waffle!Shall go back again for sure, but perhaps not order the waffles unless the quantity of sides improves.PS: be prepared to spend a few quid here.Covid19 related information as on 29/08/2020- Masks are mandatory, only outdoor seating is available. You can access the restroom inside the restaurant though.

My wife and I have come here many times for date night. We really enjoy the fun cuisine and the amazing cocktails! This is a place where you can get a REALLY good cocktail, just dont expect it to be cheap.The service here when we first started coming (when they opened) was absolutely stellar. We were constantly amazed at how much they did to get us excited about the foods and drinks we could try. Now that they have been open for quite a while some of the excitement has died down and the food is still great, the drinks amazing, but it doesnt have the same vibe from the staff that it did early on.

As a family with young kids, the restaurant was perfectly friendly and welcoming. The kids menu had 2-3 options, one of which was macaroni and cheese. Unfortunately, it wasnt a plain macaroni and cheese, so my kids didnt eat it. My fish and chips was good---no complaints. My wife had a salad, trying to be healthy, but ended up unhappy because it was spicier than she wanted (we should have just ordered what she really wanted...).

Stopped by for fries and a drink. Got the aperol spritz and loved it, it was sweet and beautifully presented with just the right amount of bitterness. The fries and curry were simply amazing. The fries were probably one of the best Ive had, and the soft jalapeños and mild curry that came with them were the cherry on the cake.

Went here for Fathers day and got seated immediately at the high tables. The special Pesto crusted Salmon was the best. I wish it would be added as a regular item on the menu. The burgers were a little well done but still juicy. The only problem we had was the dessert took a little too long to get. Service was excellent though! Will definitely come back again.

The peraon who appeared to be the manager or maybe even the owner made great recommendation on beer which we really liked. Das Brew GOSE. Definitely try it before I goes. We ordered Oxford burger and it was fresh and delicious. Fries are bomb. Tasty and crispy.

The Oxford was a fantastic little surprise. We had planned to eat somewhere else but the wait was really long so we walked around downtown Sunnyvale poking our heads in restaurant doors and we liked what we saw here. It was busy but we were able to get two seats at the bar right away. The food was very good - I had a grilled panini with Indian spiced chicken and he had a chicken pot pie - but the drinks were what really impressed. These were professional cocktails made with attention to detail. (The beer was also good, if thats more your style.) Prices were reasonable. Looking forward to visiting again.

We went to this place for a Sunday dinner. We were seated immediately. Ordering and paying the bill is completely online, which is fantastic. We had chicken pot pie and lamb kofta kebab, both of them were delicious. But the side dish chips and curry was underwhelming. Anyway, our dinner was perfectly ended with the excellent chocolate banoffee tart.

Review №112

2021-11-05 04:11:09

The menu has some accuracy problems. My wife was very unhappy with her meal, no promised peas and carrots, and really overcooked salmon. The menu indicated the dish came with couscous, which implies North African couscous (which she really likes), but came with pearl couscous (which she really does not like). The wine list has little resemblance to what they have in stock. On the plus side, my Shepherds Pie was really good, and true to its menu description. The combination of menu accuracy problems, and execution inconsistencies, result in a three star rating.

The service is neat; unless you are in a big group, they get your order out fairly quickly. Its hard to find a table in the evening sometimes on Thursday/Friday after work. I would definitely recommend trying this place.

Yum, yum veggie burger. I do recommend that if you get a salad, ask for light dressing. Our salad tasted like I was drinking dressing and I could not taste I could SEE the beets and goat cheese (the salad only had one piece of melon, but I most certainly could not taste it. It was very disappointing. However, the burger was very good. Beyond that, my daughter was disappointed because she wanted to order a drink. She pointed to other tables having drinks, but we only saw beer and wine on the menu. I dont recall where it was now, but eventually I found the 2 cocktails on the brunch menu, but it was after the waiter had left and after our order was placed. The waiter should have been able to help.However, again, other than the salad, the food was good.

Overall: 5/5Food:English-style Beer batter Fish n Chips: well seasoned, tasty fish. Thin batter which was crispy on the top, but wet on the bottom. While it tasted great, you missed out on the crispy texture as well as it fell apart in your hands when dipping. 4/5 on the fish n chips. It however came w the best fries ever-crispy, hot, salted just right. Also the side of pea puree was definitely delicious as well. Overall for this dish was a 4.5/5 mostly due to sides.Drink:Trip to Caribbean: 5/5. Had my honeymoon in Jamaica and it definitely reminded me of drinks by the pool with my wife down there from several years ago :)

The food was pretty good. The scotch egg and falafel sliders were really good but the gnocchi was lacking. Both starters were larger than the entree.

We ended up accidentally coming 20 min before the kitchen closed because of this and it was clear they didnt appreciate that. Kind of rude even considering

They have a outside seating too.We ordered for the roasted tomato soup. I liked it and it tasted different than the usual creamy soup.The Jamaican lamb lunch bowl was tasty. We had a vegetarian lunch bowl, a rice item with eggplant, chicken tikka wrap and chicken tikka rice lunch bowl. All of them tasted good. The french fries, that was served with the felafel sliders wasnt that great.

I enjoy dinner here twice a month. Outstanding food! No matter what I choose, I know I will enjoy it, as I have been delighted with everything Ive tried. I must first recommend the Fish n Chips or the Chicken Tikka Masala, as they are both the best Ive ever had. Honorable mentions to the Shepherds Pie, the Chicken Pot Pie, and even the simple green salad, which explodes with flavor and crunch. There was free live music (singer/guitar player) on the Saturdays Ive been there, which made my solo dining experience sitting in the bar area even more enjoyable. Thanks, Oxford!

Good food, but not a fan of the service — particularly how they force people to order food to your table via their online ordering system. I’m a fan of scanning a QR code to pay the check at a restaurant (as many are doing now), but for ordering food to your table? That’s supposed to be what your server is for. Self-service ordering really cheapens the experience.

British themed pub but isnt truly authentic. The food was average - standard pub fare. Burgers, fish and chips, pot pie, etc. Nothing special. The service was excellent - the waiter took great care of our big group and was super patient with us which is a tall feat especially considering we didnt show up on time, we joined two large tables to make one massive table, and we were remarkably indecisive on what to order.. Also - the pub was pretty loud. Even with only one TV on the game, the hard walls, ceiling, etc with no acoustics to help dampen the noise made it a really loud venue. It wasnt easy to talk to anyone who wasnt directly next to me. I did notice a disco ball and other lighting in the ceiling which makes me wonder if it has live music or a club theme - it could easily be a really loud place where you cant hear those around you. Definitely not an intimate spot.

This restaurant is definitely undervalued by the brunch community. My first time here, I came on a Saturday during peak brunch hours. Metro City up the street had a hour wait, but The Oxford was completely empty.We took a seat by the lovely large open windows and had a wonderful meal. My Omelette was cooked absolutely perfectly, and my partner had nothing but praise for his English Breakfast.The staff kept our water glasses full and were very attentive. With the food as good as it is on a consistent basis, it truly is mind blowing that they are not more packed, especially for brunch.

We reserved a table for three on a Saturday night. Parking is a hassle due to its location on Murphy Street. Waiter was nice and regularly checked on us. I had the fish and chips, which were good. The fish was fried crispy, and the chips (fries) were also fried perfectly. There is a bar for those who want to drink, but be assured that this is a kid-friendly restaurant. The environment can get extremely noisy at times, as there is no soundproofing, so this wouldnt be the place for romantic dinners.

This restaurant had beautiful meals that was more than just an English restaurant. My friend had the Pasty and it was beautiful and delicious and much more than the meat and potatoes that a pasty usually is.And I had the chicken tikka masala. The flavors were beautiful and the meal was perfectly filling without being overstuffed.Desert was beautiful and different. It was a lovely place to have my birthday dinner :-)

Service was great, food was pretty good, vibe was very much “cool london dark pub” vibe. We had the pot pie which was ok. It took a while for the food to come out and they weren’t that busy, but we weren’t in a hurry. It was a good sized portion - good taste but nothing super special. Our friend had the chicken and waffles - the chicken was an all-star, delicious. My boyfriend got the english breakfast and wasn’t very impressed. I would go back to try the shepherd’s pie which is supposed to be their speciality. They seem to do cocktails quite well - they have a bartender dedicated that was kept quite busy.Prices are a bit spendy for british food (pasty was over $20 and didn’t seem like much food, rest of dishes in the upper teens like $17-18). That and the good but not super outstanding food is why I give them 4 stars. Would definitely be interested in returning to try something different.

They say this is a British Style pub, but the food is far from that. The fish and chips were awful well the chips were fine but the fish was terrible. The batter was mushy not crunchy. The beer selection is lacks a good selection of English beer on tap, only Newcastle.While they are just opening I dont see this lasting more than a year at the most. There are much better options near by.

I was really excited to try this place but extremely disappointed tonight. My husband and I waited over 10 minutes at a relatively empty bar while 3 bartenders/waiters were just hanging out. A guy sat next to us that one of the bartenders knew and immediately was served. We finally got up and left. On the way out I told the manager that we waited a while with no service and he just brushed passed me with a simple sorry miss. Rude. We’ll come back in 6 months when it’s replaced with a new restaurant.

Went there Friday evening at around 5:30 and the place was quite busy. I was asked to wait, which I did. After about 15 minutes, the owner/manager asked me if I will be having dinner, to which I said I might. I was taken aback a little, but didnt think too much of it. A table opened up and the person who asked us to wait asked the manager if we could take that table and the manager said no? I waited another 5 minutes, thinking they are still setting up the table, but eventually they gave the table to a couple who just walked in. Felt awful, not coming back to this place ever again. Ive never left a negative review, but Ive never felt this humiliated.

Beware of bad service and dishonest personnel.I’ve been here twice, unfortunately both terrible experiences.First time we were a party of 2 and came to have a drink. We were seated quickly near the bar. After 15 minutes nobody had come to take our order. We decided to leave.Second time (today) we were a party of 2. We were seated quickly and served quickly as well. We had 3 beers and a charcuterie. Our bill came to $43 and we paid with a $100 bill. When it came to returning our change, the paper copy of the bill was vanished, and we got $43 instead of $57 in change. When we asked where the bill was the staff seemed bewildered and went to fiddle with the computer for several minutes. One of them came back to say they made a mistake and brought a new copy of the bill and the remaining change. We left a tip of course but I felt they were disingenuous. Why else would they remove the paper copy of the bill when they brought back the (short) change?

They had a decent burger, and the fries had a fun British flare (vinegar). The fries are not quite chips (too thin), but as long as you dont expect them to be youll be fine. They have a good counter space for people-watching, which makes for an interesting place if you want to eat alone.

Strange restaurant that doesnt know what it wants to be. The British decor and overall theme seems like an afterthought. We ordered the Shepherds Pie and Chicken Pot Pie.

Is that a British tradition? Who knows?

Edit on 2/3!The chicken sandwich was so great! Nice spice and crunch and the bun was good. Highballs and drinks were all pretty good as well.Pass on the charcuterie boards. A few slices of cheese (I believe it was manchego and brie), pickle sliced up, and olives on one and slices of sausage and prosciutto wrapped up like roses on the other. Presentation looked nice but portion even for a charcuterie board was weak and the cost was over the top for what was served.

Food was great, service was meh.Went for brunch with my husband after a couple confusing phone calls trying to get a reservation (not needed apparently, it wasnt terribly busy at noon).We each ordered a cocktail and an entreeThe Cocktails:His bloody mary was QUITE good, but the glass was tall and very skinny so it didnt seem like a particularly generous drink.I got the Yamato Sling #3 which was good but WAAAAAAYYYY too sweet. Cloyingly sweet. Like drinking candy sweet. The flavor of the green tea syrup was entirely overpowering. Id order again, but specify that Id like it light on the sweetness.Entrees:He got the Tikka Masala and it was fabulous! No complaints. The sauce had very nice tomatoey flavor. The chicken was tender and the naan was soft and pillowy with a crisp bottom.I ordered the Oxford Breakfast which was mostly good. Id probably get it again if we go back. The bacon and beans were awesome, the bread was good but gave the impression of being thaw and bake rolls. The sausage was good but a it greasy. Ill preface this by saying eggs arent my favorite things...so take this with a grain of salt if you will...the eggs were too underdone for me to want to try. The about half the white of one egg was entirely transparent and basically looked raw. The rest of the meal had me full enough I didnt feel like I was missing out if I skipped the eggs or I would have asked that they heat them through a bit for me. I know eggs can largely be a matter of personal preference, so someone else might have thought they were fine, but underdone whites freak me out. The man who i believe to be the manager noticed my untouched eggs when he cleared our table, and he did ask if anything was wrong, which was a nice point for service.Service:We were seated quickly, but the waitstaff seemed rushed the entire time we were there, which was a little surprising because it didnt seem that busy. Maybe they were understaffed today?The most jarring part of the service was that my husbands food came out *several minutes* (close to 5?) before mine. He was easily half way through before my food came out (i made him start so his wouldnt get cold). That seemed odd to us. Other than that, everything else was fine. Not great...but fine. He got our orders right, nothing was amiss.Overall, wed go back if we had a hankering for good tikka masala or english breakfast. My husband wants to try the shepherds pie too. Were new to the area so well probably try to explore a bit more before we revisit The Oxford, but it was good.

Worst customer experience in my life. We book a table by phone, got to the bar and the manager started making up excuses about how long will take a table instead being transparent about it. We were 7 people, stayed there for 1.5 hours and we were just advised here and then we would get a table. However every time a table was free, it was given to people just came in. We even had in two occasions waiters telling us this table is for you but then was given away to people just showed in the door. Finally we left cause we were starving and honestly they were taking the piss. Don’t waste your time there, it does not worth your time

Service was great. The food (fish and chips) was pretty good, but I am overly judgemental on that particular dish. The restaurant was very clean and the ordering and cash out system was simple and easy to use.

Waited 15 minutes after being seated with menus to be greeted by a waiter only to be told the kitchen was closed. These guys dont know how to run a restaurant. Also check the menu ahead of time. This is not Brittish pub fare. Its street food at best that is heavily weighted to Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.

I cant sing the praises of this place enough! The food is fantastic (especially the chicken skewers, folks masala, and short ribs)! The dark chocolate pudding is to die for, excuse the hyperbole. And the cocktails are interesting and yummy, with plenty of booze! Love this place!!!

They have Lagavulin here, but my Rusty Nail came out a bit weird.Shepards pie was actually notably good. The lamb was nicely seasoned and cooked properly.Do note that if they ask you if youd like a birthday dessert, it will not be on the house.

Nice pub in Sunnyvale down town. Both outside and inside seating available. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Veggie Burger and MAc and Cheese and of course Beer! Service was pretty good. Food was tasty and good too. Nice place to hangout with friends & family.

Great place to go for lunch if you have an afternoon to kill. Ive been here for lunch with a small group and with a large party and both times it took over 40 minutes after ordering to get our food. 20 minutes to get a beer poured. Someones order has always been majorly screwed up or just flat out forgotten. The food is dominantly Indian cuisine and is decent, but nothing noteworthy. Beer selection is subpar for a British pub (go up the block to Fibbar MaGees for exceptionally better beer choices). This restaurant is also an acoustic nightmare with the flat walls and ceiling; good luck hearing your friends at the table. I wont be back again unless I can take a 3 hour lunch.

There were 5 of us. Everyone really enjoyed their food - the hamburgers, the roasted eggplant and the tikka masala. The brioche pudding was also great. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is that the place is so loud, it’s almost impossible to hold a conversation and it’s not very pleasant to sit there.

Great bar downtown with a solid menu. They do some pretty unique cocktails and the bar staff are always willing to make something special based on your tastes. It does get loud, but not horribly so.

We ordered the Butternut squash ravioli expecting to get a pretty big bowl because it was on the biggie part of the menu. We were disappointed at the size. There were 7 ravioli for $15. Tasted very good but had higher expectation

I got the falafel sliders here and the sliders itself were dry and not that great tasting. The bread was nothing to rave about either.The salad was good, perfect amount of dressing coating it so it’s not drenched and the fries were so good!!!Salad- 5Fries- 5Sliders- 3

British pub food. Order appropriately.Husband had shepherds pie and was happy. I foolishly was distracted from a burger by grilled salmon with cous cous, peas, carrots, grilled squash, with coconut sauce. Was served seriously overcooked salmon with large grilled zuccini pieces, pearl barley like couscous and a side of a thick mild coconut flavored sauce.

Slightly above than the typical American burger place. They have some nicer dishes. But overall the food tastes like ... The typical American burger place (i.e., not that great). The staff is VERY friendly and they have some good beers.

I have been coming to this place since the time it called itself IC Lounge. They renamed to what it is now. It has an uber feel to it. The barkeeps know what they do. The food is very good and balanced across serving sizes. This place primarily serves Brit soul food, however also has other options. I personally like the falafel sliders and crispy kale. It has a decent collection of whiskeys, however this place boasts of its cocktails. It can get a tad bit on the noisier side.

Horrible service and ridiculous prices.I ordered a wheat beer my 2 friends each ordered a cocktail. It took at least 15 minutes to get our drink. When I received my beer, it was the wrong beer but I didnt complain since it took so long and I was thirsty. I got a Guiness instead. When the bill came, the price of my pint Guiness was 9 dollars plus tax! Total for 1 pint of beer was almost 10 dollars. I wont be back.

#PrivateEvent. Another organization reserved the space for about a hundred people. The wait staff was really attentive and asked me if I would like something whenever I didnt have a drink or looked lost (which was often). I like how they have coat racks so you dont have to waltz around in a northface trying to do business networking. The bathroom also was pretty clean considering how many people there were.

If you have ever been to London you will know that it is the place for the best Indian food. This pub has a heavy Indian influence. Chicken teka, naan bread, wings with an Indean spice in addition to things like shepherd pie and Scotch eggs. Good place for a beer and a drink in general.

Speckled Hen ale was delicious. Chicken shawarma turnovers were very tasty. Using lamb in the shepherds pie is good. Using enough spice to mak the flavor rings the effect. Having said that, it was ok. Chunks of lamb rather than ground would be much better. Rosemary would go better than spicy as well.

The place is at half capacity on a Sunday afternoon, but the staff is rushing about overwhelmed. Coffee arrived 30 minutes after we ordered it, without cream or sugar. The rest of our order - eggs and the buttermilk pancake - arrived after 50 minutes. Salt, pepper, ketchup, more coffee, a quick sorry for the delay etc never arrived.

We went there for lunch on Thursday, we were seated and given the menus and nobody showed up to take our order for good 20min. People who arrived after us were served while nobody even came over to ask 1 question.. We will not be back. We left and nobody ever realized that our orders were never taken.

I go here for the combination of greasy nostalgic English breakfast combined with the pretentiousness of imagining that one can be inspired by some master chef from London in their particular brand of English breakfast. Its English breakfast. Slicing things diagonally and arranging them on a rectangular plate doesnt change that youre charging me $15 for eggs and bacon.

This California influenced British Gastorpub is more accurately described as Indian/Middle-Eastern influenced with items such as falafel and shawarma on the menu. The appetizers were unique and enjoyable, especially the crispy kale and falafel sliders. As a main, the chicken tikka massala was as good as any full Indian restaurant and the short ribs were delicious. Drinks were great with my favorite being their twist on the Moscow Mule. The service was also good, with multiple servers often checking in.

We ordered a few items to share and each had a drink for dinner, paid $50 each after tax and tip. Nothing wrong with the food or the drinks, but nothing special either, prob not worth the price.Nice vibe, location, and service.
