The Ivy Oxford Brasserie

We have to congratulate Francisco on his exceptional level of customer service at the Ivy Oxford. Nothing was too much trouble, impeccable service standards. It took a good meal to another level. Autumn set menu is good value, choice is somewhat limited, choice of just three starters or desserts - but otherwise great.

Justin and Yulia were so lovely and attentive, it's the first time I feel like it's totally worth paying a service charge! The food was so good as well and not super expensive. We were so full after the brunch, couldn't finish everything actually. We also got lil dessert because we were celebrating my partner's new job! We'll definitely be back 👍🏼

At 24 quid for a three courses meal there’s value to be had. The mackerel rillettes was nice as a starter. The Haddock was cooked just perfectly but I found the tomato salsa and herb sauce a bit underwhelming. I wish the sauce could bring more dimensions of flavors over the fish. The one that truly disappointed was the Madagascan Vanilla Cloud which was highlighted on the menu. I tasted little vanilla on the ice cream nor yuzu on the sauce. So it was mostly left with just caramel over a chocolate brownie. I do have to praise the servers who have done an excellent job.

My first visit and absolutely loved it the minute I walked in. Other half has been before and her recommendation was bang on. Love the decor, art deco with bold and eclectic stand outs. Staff were excellent and discreet but knowledgeable and very accommodating to small requests on food choices. As it was lunch time we had the 3 course set menu which was superb value..5* standard and delicious....wine prices very fair at what ever level you wished to pay. Return booked already. An excellent day out in Oxford made special without busting the bank...

Was lovely & not as overpriced as I imagined. We did get forgotten about waiting for sweets but as soon as it was mentioned, went all guns blazing & apologetic, I enjoyed what I had & the steak tartare was lovely & the dry ice effects for those that had the crab starter was impressive. Would prefer a curry as I'm not a sophisticated guy but can appreciate fine dining.
