"A fairly bohemian interior sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere."
Cons:
"Unfortunately sat at a wobbly table downstairs behind the kitchen door."
"Also, we sat in the basement steering into a wall so the setting could have been a little more scenic."
"Placed directly next to the kitchen across from the toilets."
"We were seated in the corner of the basement on a wobbly table behind the kitchen door."
"Our table had an additional chair tucked into the corner, this was unusable and left facing the wall."
"The restaurant was rundown, looking like it could do with a little TLC."
"Simple reason being that the downstairs area is just not it."

Cons:
"The service was a bit slow."
"Unfortunately, the deserts were little disappointing - brownie was super hard, little dry and far too heavy."
"The overall service could really be hugely improved."
"However, I think service has gone down a bit since they did not employ enough waiting staff."
"Service was slow to inexistent. Waited 40 minute for some tea."
"The service was really bad."
"Staff left guests for long periods, plates and bowls took a long time to be cleared."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Would recommend and would return - beetroot pate and Mung bean fritters were definitely highlights on the menu."
"Seasonal, meat-free and sensational."
"The ingredients were mostly local and sustainable."
"The vegan dishes at Oak were absolutely delicious!"
"The fresh produce they use makes the dishes so tasty and unique."
"Nice and cosy atmosphere, beautiful platings, creative and delicious dishes!"
"Every dish was outstanding."
Cons:
"Food is not good or large enough to warrant the price and relies on pretentious instagrammability."
"Most of the food was bland and needed seasoning."
"The cost of the dishes compared to the portion of foods was dreadful value for money."
"However, the portions are very small and the price is very high. We didn't feel satiated."
"The main dishes which came recommended were bland."
"Each dish didn't have much variation between them, very redundant, and they all seemed heavily salted and too oily."
"The food was not good and we decided to not stay after sampling three dishes."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Haven’t had such interested and delicious food in a long time for really reasonable price."
"I thought the bill would come to 70 quid but it was almost half that amount, very reasonably priced indeed."
"Incredible value for money, surpassing many Michelin star restaurants I’ve eaten at."
"The food is magic and the prices are very competitive."
"For how good the food is, it's pretty reasonably priced."
"The tasting menu with wine was very good value for money."
"Prices were great."
Cons:
"And to be charged nearly £80 for it was outrageous."
"However, I think service has gone down a bit since they did not employ enough waiting staff. Also now seems fairly poor value for money."
"For a two course meal £30 each, which is fine when you get something one your plate...... I will pay for good food and too be honest, presentation 5 out 5.... Quality 3..... quantity 0."
"Small portions and London prices."
"It was insulting to be charged over 50 £ for this experience."
"Final bill was £120 (including a bottle of white wine & deserts)."
