THE FOOD The Highlight: The Tiramisu was the star of the evening--moist, semi-sweet, and rich. A tasty end to the meal. Starters: The freshly fired Cheese Bread was another win, topped with fluffy, warm cheese. A comforting start. The Entrees: The portion sizes for the Gnocchi, Lasagna, and Fettuccine Alfredo were enormous. You get a massive amount of food for the price. * Note: The execution didn't match the size. There were issues with texture and flavor depth across the main dishes. For example, the Fettuccine Alfredo sauce was watery and bland rather than creamy and rich. SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE The dining area has a homey, casual feel. The hostess and server were patient, and the waitress immediately swapped out a glass of red wine that had oxidized, which was appreciated. PARKING Plenty of streetside parking is available. OVERALL The Nautical Whimsey provides a large amount of food for the cost. It is a solid choice if you need to feed hungry teenagers who value quantity over culinary precision, but foodies looking for high-quality Italian might want to look elsewhere.

About amazing experience. $50+tax gets you all ingredients to make two drinks, a bonus welcome cocktail and an individual charcuterie board. The staff were friendly and I enjoyed the experience. I love that each monhtly class is themed so that you have no worries of repetitive experiences. In addition, each class you leave with one item that helps prepare you to stick your at home wine bar. Tonight we were gifted the jigger, which was cool as we didn't expect this to occur. Great event for friends, couples or solo. What we didn't realize if when booking for multiples,if you do one booking, they seat you together at the tables.

It is a wine bar but there are other delicious cocktails on the menu as well. The lemon drop was great. The wine process works like this. You tell the wait staff you want to do the wine and they take your payment card and give you a tasting card to use at the self serve machine. There are different price points for different amounts of wine. There are many different types of options to choose from. This helped me leave out with new options for wine at home. This is a pretty small establishment so I recommend you to make a reservation to be sure you can get in. The decor and wall is very elegant. It was very fitting for girls night. They have small plate foot options like flatbread and meat and cheese plates which are great snacks to eat while sipping. If you're seeking something more hearty I would suggest eating before coming as we did. The server and hostess were nice and accommodating. I will definitely be back.

She ordered the tuna special with coconut risotto; I went for the manicotti. The tuna was passable but forgettable. elevator music in fish form. The risotto? Mushy, coconut-scented regret. Sorry mom? My manicotti was so bland it could've been served at a tax seminar. For prices that suggest a culinary revelation, we got dishes that wouldn't impress a truck stop diner. The service matched the food's enthusiasm--our server was polite but they weren't giving the Olive Garden a run for their money, let's be real.. The bill hit like a personal insult, far too steep for such a lackluster show. Word is the ramen might be better, but after this, I'm not betting on it. Oxford's food scene isn't barren, far from it. The town boasts gems that deliver honest, delicious fare without the ego. But spots like SoLa, with their trendy pomp and inflated tabs, are a bitter letdown for anyone who's ventured beyond state lines and tasted what distant lands can offer. The Moms and I left wishing we'd picked a place that respects both palate and purse.

Additionally, I tried my friend's truffle fries, which were deliciously appointed with nice portions of Parmesan shavings and a great dipping sauce. The crispy Brussels sprouts were yummy with hot honey and bacon. Lastly, I tried a little bit of the smoked salmon dip and it was good too. Overall, nice atmosphere and good service. I recommend it and look forward to returning.

The barbecue nachos are flour, tortilla chips and not corn. They were over fried and the chunks of barbecue were too big to fit on the chip. This was some of the worst barbecue I've had in a long time and maybe ever. There was zero Char on the ribs. They tasted almost like they had been steamed or something. They were wet but not sauce, just with what seems like steam. The dry rub seasoning was basically just wet goo. Regardless, the fact that half of them were probably around 48° makes it impossible to enjoy them. I still don't understand how this is possible. The atmosphere is fine, though it's a tiny restaurant. The service is uneventful. There were only two tables, including ours that had customer at it. Our server was sitting in the corner with her boyfriend the whole time hanging out with him and she would just get up occasionally and check on us. She had no personality. There's a 0% chance I would ever give this restaurant another chance. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. It's completely obvious that there is zero supervision or management this restaurant.
