Our server was lovely – so friendly and welcoming, regularly checking in to make sure we were happy without ever rushing us. It made the experience feel really relaxed and enjoyable, which I really appreciate when dining out.
The only thing that let it down slightly was the price of drinks. £4.50 for a small Coke felt really off-putting, especially considering that’s only 50p cheaper than what you might pay in central London. For Oxford, I think that’s a little too much, and it did take away from an otherwise perfect visit. I wouldn’t choose to pay that again – I’d happily stick to tap water in the future.
That said, I genuinely love Dirty Bones and will definitely be back again. The atmosphere, service, and food are always on point – just wish the soft drink prices were a bit more reasonable!
all in all a fantastic experience 😀 the food was great we loved the atmosphere, but this review is for tobi, keep doing what your doing man we had a great time 😁
