    Attentive but not too intrusive service is but one aspect we really appreciate when eating out. Love the patron’s art decor as we as seeing the excellent cocktails being passionately prepared. Just wonderful to watch, before you even drink one. Seeing seasonal, local produce being cooked and presented to a high standard made it one of the highlights of our day in Oxford. We’re already plotting our next visit.

    Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm delighted to hear that the service was attentive, but not too intrusive. We always use local and fresh produce, and I'm happy you noticed that. We look forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes, Undine, Restaurant Manager

    Tasty, delicious food. A pity about 13.5% service charge, which seemed high.

    Saturday evening,6:30pm the Quod was very busy. Booked a table for 4 for my son’s 21st birthday. Food was good but service was terrible. The waiter didn’t introduce himself, didn’t mention the specials board and hardly spoke the whole time. Food was delivered in stages where 3 of us had our main meal and 1 was waiting for a few minutes. It was the same for the deserts. We paid for the service but on reflection wish we hadn’t. I know it was busy but the noise levels were very high and it made the ambiance uncomfortable
