I've just had Sunday lunch at OXTWO and it has been the best Sunday lunch I have ever had in any restaurant or pub. I have had quite a few Sunday lunches in restaurants and pubs, so this is quite an accolade. It is also very reasonably priced. I don't know who the chef is but he is clearly a genius. Absolutely delicious, fantastic waiting staff and great atmosphere. I can't wait to go back!

Consistently excellent! Really great food, awesome wine list (and by the glass). We recently dined with some friend that had allergies which were taken seriously, special menus provided and nothing was too much - altered meals so they could have more on the menu etc. The orange and ricotta donuts are worth it alone.
Friendly service and an all round winner.

Visited several times. Foods always fantastic. Service is fab, staff and management are always friendly and attentive. Live music was great last night and really added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Design is on point with details and quality considered, including weighted drink glasses that won’t break if you hold them too tight. Imi was my server and was absolutely extraordinary, along with other staff that worked tonight. She went out of her way to make sure my cocktail was perfect and that snacks were available even after the kitchen had closed. Top tier all around. I will be back!

Quiet atmosphere with beautiful decor and top-notch service. The food is delicious but comes in small, tapas-sized portions, so expect to order multiple plates. It's a bit pricey for the amount of food you get, but the experience and the great wine list make it worth a return visit.
