This must be one of the best restaurants in Oxford, and it's a spectacular location, with great views over Oxford and a modern aesthetic. There's lots of outdoor space, including some funky deckchairs and cushions for more relaxed lunches, a great spot in summer. The menu is on the brief side but there's enough choice to keep everyone happy. On my first visit I had divine braised beef, and the second time roast cod But it's the food that makes it so good at nighttime: well made with delightful flavours. It's well worth the trip.

Every dish we tried was worse than then last, which would have been fine had we been at a pub, but here the food is quite expensive for what it is. My recommendation would be to come here for an afternoon tea or a drink, but avoid the food. Service is a bit slow as well, but it's a relaxed environment, so don't come here if you're in a rush.

I started with the asparagus, and finished the mean with the full lobster with a side of carrots and potatoes. The restaurant did not have a gluten free menu, but their staff was very knowledgeable what what was safe and what should be avoided. We were there on a Wednesday night that was not very busy, so we were able to sit by the window. It felt like a venue right out of Downtown Abbey. I'd love to stay at the hotel sometime during a future visit!

The hotel was extraordinarily accommodating, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Nearby rooms to be closer to nana and grandpa? Done. Baby cot? Right away. Freezer for breast milk? They were on it. The non-baby-related facets of the experience were excellent as well. The location is right in the center of Oxford and convenient to everything. The hotel restaurant had very good food. Even the artwork was funky and enjoyable. I will absolutely stay here again the next time I'm back in Oxford.

Three very different meats, and all grilled to perfection. Have been at many restaurants and it is so easy to overgrill meats. They were all juicy, and served with a simple yet flavourful bed of pomes pure, and a garlic-spinach purée. Simple, pretty, and focus was definitely on the quality of the meat. My wife had the chicken supreme, which was very moist and well seasoned. The carried local beers (which always impresses me), and even if I didn't try the wine list, it looked diversified. Menu also had wine pairings, which is a nice touch. I was told that they rotate exotic meats (kangaroo, bison etc) so will definitely be back to try it. Reasonably priced, and good service. Waiter seemed a bit nervous and jumpy, but very attentive and polite... All in, a great experience. Don't usually give five stars, but this is one of the exceptions for me, simply because I love well cooked dishes, where focus is on the basic ingredients...

Came to this little gem for lunch today. Died and went to heaven I think…read more Only found this place because it's a few steps away from where some friends live. It was a beautiful day and we walked through the deserted restaurant with lovingly laid tables into the bright sunshine of the gorgeous garden. Here all the tables were reserved and all had parasols. The staff were all very friendly throughout and very accommodating of our requests. I rarely see a menu where I want to try almost everything on it, but I experienced that today. I started with the pork rillette which was mild tasting and non greasy. My friends cleared their plates of the potted crab and the asparagus with cheese. Next, as it was Sunday and therefore rude not to, we all had a roast of some sort. The beef rib came rare which was wonderful. They brought out a blade of beef that had been cooked for eight hours for the member of our party who wanted the beef well done, and substituted chicken breast for someone else. It was all so good; perfectly cooked accompaniments of potatoes and cabbage and yorkshires. I didn't want any pudding because I was too full, but ended up sharing the quite amazingly creamy but not too rich vanilla ice cream with salted caramel and crumbled shortbread. This dish changed my view of salted caramel, which I have always thought of as an unnecessary and horrible tasting indulgence. In fact, the addition of salt was so subtle that I now think that caramel tastes better with it. Coffee was great too, as was my gin and fever tree tonic. Can't fault the place and can't wait to go back. Thoroughly deserves this five star rating.

It took a little bit of effort to find it as its a few blocks up North Street. Like a number of UK inns, the Lion consists of a bar, a restaurant, and a hotel. It's also not an independent inn as it's part of the Butcome group. The folks here work hard as we same the same folks a breakfast, dinner, and in-between. It's popular as the Sunday bar and restaurant crowd on this bank Holiday weekend was impressive. Here are my ratings: Bar (3 Stars) - Nice selection, but with slightly snippy service. When I asked what they had beer wise that was around Guiness strength, the answer was "Coffee". Then it too awhile to get her attention again. Maybe I missed the joke. Patio (4 Stars) - This was a nice outdoor spot to comfortably hang out, especially since the weather was relatively warm and it wasn't raining. Dinner (4 Stars) - We dined "early" as they were wrapping up the dining room hours because of the bank holiday. And as we were already in a "Burger and a Pint" mood, our choices were the right choice and quite tasty. Breakfast (5 Stars). Good selection, nice dining room, timely service, strong coffee, good portions, and tasty choices. You can't do much better than that. Accommodation (5 Stars). We snagged the "Super Indulgent" room which with the associated bath tub (great soak after a hike) made Gayle feel like a princess. I loved this room too.

It was a good atmosphere here and we were in a convivial setting which we enjoyed. The food was good (I enjoyed the steak), and I wish there were a few more gluten-free options, but it was an overall fine experience and certainly wasn't the nightmare described by some of the overly demanding people who've reviewed previously. 5 stars for the service and ambience, and even if the food was 3-4, these fine folks deserve their average rating to go up a bit!
