The High Table is an excellent restaurant. Part of the Mercure Eastgate Hotel, this is their restaurant, and serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner.
The service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is excellent. Very upscale, but comfortable and not too sterile or cold. The menu is small, but I have eaten dinner here several times and never once been disappointed (nor has anyone in my party) with any of the food. The menu changes frequently, but the mainstays (burger, steak, lamb, etc.) are great. The duck fat chips are fantastic.
Definitely a place to go for a nice dinner in Oxford. It's not the cheapest, but the quality is excellent and the service, atmosphere, and food all make it worth it. read more
