    An unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was incredible, the food delicious ( we had planned for brunch but ended up trying the FOX STEAK PLATTER 100 and it was really good! A must try) great drinks and cocktail menu, we loved all our drinks, and the ambiance absolutely beautiful! The service was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of the night? A surprise gift of tickets to the Leafs vs. Bruins game, courtesy of Fox on John, a gesture that made the evening unforgettable. Special thanks to Kaitlyn, whose outstanding service and warm demeanor added a personal touch and made everything even more special. It’s truly the people who elevate an already great experience to extraordinary. Cheers to Kaitlyn and the entire team for their impeccable service!

    My friend Richard and I enjoyed a really pleasant meal (Veal Sweetbreads with Spaetzle) and a dark, stout on draught. I love the vibe at the Oxley, their service was prompt and informed, and we were in and out with good time to get to our show.

    Perfect location for a group of ladies to split some appetizers, pub grub and bevvies before catching a show at Mirvish. Menus were a bit sticky. When we first arrived, there seemed to be some issues with staffing, but the second person that took care of us was outstanding.(not sure what happened to the first one I think she went on break or left or something?) food was tasty and cooked as to what we would’ve expected.  not outstanding or anything but absolutely perfect pub experience. Would recommend.
