Côte Oxford: Reviews & Ratings
Absolutely Superb Service and welcome. The Food is Truly exceptional. It was my Sisters Birthday and they couldn’t have made us feel more Special. Anna Egis and John welcomed us with smiles and superb hospitality and we cannot recommend this Oxford French Oasis enough.
Fab food, service and place. We went last Saturday, 3rd May. Had an excellent waiter. He was also training up a new waitress who was amazing. A great team! My 5 year old godson enjoyed his garlic bread and chicken burger too so even better!
First time dining here. I had a really lovely lunch having chosen the tuna with a recommended side of fries. All the ingredients were obviously fresh, presentation stunning and the combination of flavours were delicious. I had a very warm and friendly welcome from Sam who was also absolutely proficient and an invaluable credit to the Team. Well done Sam, thanks for your recommendations, menu knowledge and overall service. I look forward to visiting again soon
I always come for the French Onion Soup and as usual it didn’t disappoint. The secret to me is not just in the soup but in the accompanying cheese-toasted baguette slices. I also had the Tuna Nicoise which was also very tasty, perfect for the first meal off the plane. I love the vibe in this place. Conversations are always in the background and never overwhelming, the crowd always diverse and interesting and service was spot-on as always.
Wonderful experience and food made me feel truly special as it was my birthday. Egis and Johnny really welcoming and friendly. Anna served us with a great smile. Excellent service super staff. Would return again. great view and super room round table made for good conversation.
2025/03 Very good British-French restaurant! The Sunday roast was excellent, and the onion soup was rich and full of flavor. We also had the 3-course menu, which was very good and great value for money. Although we waited about 50 minutes for our starter—understandable since it was Mother’s Day and a busy Sunday—the food was well worth the wait. Lovely atmosphere, good prices, and we’ll definitely be coming back!
The food was delicious. I ordered the rib eye and had the caramel creme for dessert which was incredible! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We had “Sam” serve us and he was such a delight. 10/10 throughout
My boyfriend and I visited on Saturday night and were so so happy with our meal. We were warmly greeted as soon as we stepped through the door, taken to our seats and offered menus and drinks. The food had so much flavour and the timings were great. I am really looking forward to our next visit.
