Food Quality
Pros:
"The chicken parfait was very tasty, the minute steak was cooked nicely and well seasoned and the lemon tart was very nice."
"Food was excellent and matched by the service which was quick efficient and not in your face."
"The food was excellent - without doubt the best roast beef and Yorkshire pudding that I have had in many years."
"Fish curry and salmon highly recommended."
"Food is fantastic...fresh ingredients cooked to perfection."
"The food was really quite bad. I had mussels and the soup at the bottom was pretty much just brine I think, too salty for the baguette and had separated."
"Sunday lunch was extremely good. We chose roast pork and beef which delicious and most importantly sourced from an organic free range butcher."
Cons:
"We left the restaurant wishing we had gone elsewhere."
"They ran out of roast beef over an hour before the Sunday service finished. The steak was served well done when we asked for medium."
"The desert was atrocious, I ordered Creme brûlée, to call it this was not in anyway fair, it was pretty much runny custard and clearly not what I expected."
"The food was mediocre at best, again it could have been because we were later however not acceptable if you accept a customer."
"The food so tasty."
"The moules marinière had many empty shells and very little tasteless sauce and dry bread which was definitely not toasted."
"The ‘crispy’ beef with coconut rice was dry with little sauce and definitely not crispy, not what we expected."

"Service was very accurate and careful especially towards our toddler sitting at the table."
"Service was prompt."
"The service was excellent, the food was excellent."
"Highly recommended this place for its commitment to service and exquisite food."
"The wait staff were really lovely."
Cons:
"The waiter that served us didn't know anything about wine pairings and still tried to fake it."
"Service was extremely slow."
"The waitress was not helpful at all."
"Service excellent. I think BB is one way of appreciating French cuisine, if one is not able to get to France for a holiday!"
"The manager appeared to be in a sulk & completely ignoring us, not making eye-contact or coming over."
"Service was shocking! Had to ask to order our mains and the dessert!"
"The waitress didn't fully understand how we wanted our food, so it was only average."
Ambience
Pros:
"Good coffee and ambience."
"The atmosphere was very convivial, with lots of bustle and happy conversations all around."
"Very family friendly with a great kids' menu."
"Smart but relaxed feeling with amazing food."
"The atmosphere is suitable for both families or dates depending on which area of the restaurant you sit in."
"Restaurant has a cosy atmosphere without being at all claustrophobic or pokey."
"A place with an exciting menu, especially during Christmas. It is a treat with gorgeous location in Jericho."
Cons:
"Went on a Saturday evening and the place was empty except what seemed to be a few regulars."
"However if we could have share a comment it would be to redo the disabled toilet that are not very great right now."
"On another point, the ladies loo was dirty, the sink area was flooded and the loo was missing it’s lid and was dirty."
"It was also rather noisy towards the end of our sitting but this was due to what looked like Xmas parties."
"The restaurant was a little cramped and got quite loud."
"Was slightly loud, and sometimes we had trouble hearing each other."
"Gave 3 star for atmosphere because can be quite noisy if overcrowded and you can’t hear each other’s conversation very well especially for someone with bad hearing."
Value
Pros:
"Excellent ingredients and portion size at a very reasonable price."
"Cocktails were very reasonably priced from £6.75 to £9."
"There is also a good and wide selection of wines that are reasonably priced."
"With the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme vouchers, we thought the prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food and drink."
"Wine was £3.70 per glass off house wine."
"Prices are fair."
"It feels upmarket, but the prices are very reasonable for what you get."
Cons:
"Dishes are a bit expensive, but you do feel money well spent."
"For that amount you have far better options, I won't go back again and I won't recommend."
"The sirloin steak, which was rather expensive."
"Very smart decor; not too pricey for what you get; in a good location in Oxford."
"I do think a little overpriced for what it was."
"The final price was quite on the higher side, around 50£ per person including service."
"The prices are fairly high but it still seems good value because it's so good."
