During my three-month stay in the UK, I tried fish and chips from…read morecountless places, including Ahmed's food truck down High Street and various spots around London (including some way overpriced spots near Hyde park). But nothing compared to Cuttlefish. They serve the best fish and chips I've ever had--no joke. On the last week of my stay, I found Cuttlefish and grabbed every friend and excuse to go back as many times as possible. Their muscle pasta is also to die for. I still crave it to this day. The restaurant itself is quaint and adorable, with tastefully themed decorations that add to the charm. If you're ever in the area, you have to check this place out. The service is great and attentive. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I went in to have a quick bite but changed my mind when seen the lunch deal was on offer (and this…read moreis after 6pm!!). Friendly waiter showed me in and explained various menu options. I opted for the full course - a starter, main, and dessert but to be honest portions are decent and only two would have been enough. The food itself was nothing short of delicious! I have never associated sardines with a luxury meal but here we go, wrapped in bacon and accompanied by a salad it was something. The rest of the meal was just as good.

When you make a table booking for the an early seating at the restaurant (6:45) you expect a few…read morevery simple things: 1) Table set and ready for your arrival. 2) Table size corresponding to party size. 3) Preferably not the WORST table in the house next to a busy through fare from the kitchen with nary space for the staff to move through even if we scooted in. Well, the table immediately knocked about 3 stars off the table, but thankfully they did move us to a different table after we complained (which was good because the food we ordered did not fit on our table and we had to monopolize the next one, which they evidently didn't need, so the whole "Sorry, the restaurant is fully booked" argument is moot). There also seemed to be a recurring theme in Oxford restaurants- people were working totally flat out and they need at least 1 if not 2 extra wait staff. Our guy was polite enough, and definitely trying hard to be a good host- though we suspect that he was extremely worried about not being tipped after the table fiasco. Anyways, onto the food. The Oysters were very good and the mix grill was perfectly fine. The Lobster was very firm in the way that I suspect it might have been frozen (In a SEAFOOD specialist?!?) and well the prawns- tesco's won hands down. As the restaurant was popular with families and had a high ceiling; it was extremely echo-y and we left slightly traumatised with our seafood experience. Drool Monster enjoyed his chocolate ice cream very much though.

Thank you, Europe, for lovin' the kids. They readily accommodated her creamy tomato sauce spaghetti request (wasn't on the menu). I wasn't super impressed with the pastas or pizzas, but the salads damn near broke my mauf. Fresh and simple, and quite honestly BANGIN'. Italians make the best salads. Don't you ever forget it. I enjoyed a slice of tiramisu for dessert and let me tell you, someone stole grandma's recipe. It was packed with espresso, cocoa, creamy whipped cream, just all things EPIC to put it simply. I'd recommend dropping in for vino, the salads, and tiramisu or the chocolate cake, which my husband enjoyed.

Sauce was made fresh with chili peppers in it. Creamy with lots of flavors. So yummy! Service was warm and friendly. We were hosted like friends. Decor was nice: traditional and humble. The coloring and decor basically says: you are here for some delicious hearty and traditional food our family has to share with you in our most sincerest way!

They had specials on the board, so I chose sashimi over rice with miso soup, while my kid chose the ramen. The food is billed as homemade Japanese food. I felt their take on Japanese food was just OK, despite the presentation being beautiful. For my dish, the amount of rice was overwhelming compared to the sashimi, which was cut very thin compared to sashimi I'm used to , so the imbalance made little sense. I left a large clump of rice despite the effort. Ramen is something we've had so much of in different restaurants, but their take with their broth was below average. (I should mention my kid was very happy though. It's just my picky take) I'd say this is a fun little stop on a cute street, with food not being the star.

I was walking through Oxford looking for something to eat when I came across this restaurant. I…read morewas craving some Thai and figured why not give it a try. The front door is interesting an has an interesting history with the building dating back to 1637. I was greeted when I walked upstairs and given a menu. I ordered Veggie Spring Rolls (Popia Tod), the Tom Ka with chicken and Pad See-Ew Noodles with chicken. It didn't take long to get my order and it was all still hot when I arrived back at my hotel. They also wrap it all quite tight so nothing spills out. The Spring Rolls weren't what I was expecting. I thought they were going to be fresh spring rolls but they are fried; it does say on the menu but I didn't read that part. It came with a plum sauce but would have been nicer with some hot mustard. Unfortunately, they do not do fresh spring rolls. The Tom Ka soup was quite good. It's a bit heavier than most Tom Ka soups I've had and I would have preferred it to be a bit spicy. The Pad See-Ew was fantastic. They serve a very generous portion and it's just delicious! And like the soup, it would be nice if it was a little spicy. I'm sure they can make it spicy if you ask them and I wish I would have asked. The food is very fresh and delicious and I would absolutely come back here.

We looked around and it a lot of people were waiting for their food and just nursing their drinks. It wasn't till I signed the bill accepting their service charge that they said anything friendly! The food was sub par for Thai food. Fairly big portions, but the best part was the spice level of my dish was legit! They didn't ask me to specify a spice level when I ordered, and I forgot to ask, so I ended up with their default. It was spicier than most westernized Thai and on the hairy edge of my tolerance, which is not low! The actual food itself I thought was just OK.
