As it stands, alpha seems to have vanished. Noone is answering my calls, the rep that sold me the membership is not replying to my messages. I have several hundreds on my account would appreciate anyone reading this to have the courtesy to respond to my emails/calls/texts.

I cannot recommend this place enough! Amazing restaurant! Delicious food, beautiful cocktails, the most polite and attentive staff. We had a Christmas meal from work there and dealing with Peter was a great. He was extremely helpful and caring and the whole experience was an absolute pleasure. Thank you so much.

literally bumped in to this place out of luck might I add food was out of this world we had oysters and scallops for starters and belive it of not we aren't big on sea food. The waitress upselled and highly recommended them and they did not disappoint oysters and tabasco sauce is a must 💯 Then on to mains rack of lamb ribs for me fillet steak for the wife, ribs came with grilled corn brocoli and a pea and mint puree steak came with dauphine potatoes and tenderstem broccoli and the richest peppercorn sauce. I can honestly say all of it was 10/10 would highly recommend and will be joining as members aswell would honestly say its the best bit of food we have had in a long time.

We had thought about going here for a while but some of the advertising suggested you had to be a club member to attend. Fortunately, this is not the case. The food was top notch and the staff attentive, though that was not surprising as we were the only customers! Another couple turned up during our meal but only four covers on a Friday night was perplexing. Especially so, as the food was the best we have had for ages. We could only assume that it is deemed a bit posh by some as the wine list starts at £35-ish. Then there is a 'fine wine' list which starts at £100 and ends at £700! I think a £700 bottle of wine would be wasted on us as the £83 Chateauneuf-de-Pape we plumped for was superb and could hardly be bettered. As for the food, I had mushrooms on toast whilst my wife ate the prosciutto and asparagus - both excellent starters. For mains, I had the special of pork tenderloin and my wife ordered a medium 8-oz fillet. Both were cooked perfectly and the sauces were amazing. Pork is very difficult to get right: balancing moistness, tenderness and making sure it isn't underdone; so finding a good one is always a treat. We were stuffed after that but squeezed in a triple chocolate dessert between us. Lovely stuff and only half the calories than if we had had one each.

Firstly, the service was great. We were greeted by the entrance, asked where we would like to seat and told our waiter’s name before hand. The food was great, from starter to dessert and we did not have to wait long to get our food and drinks. The atmosphere was really peaceful and everyone kept asking if we were okay and if we would like anything else. Overall, it was a good experience.

Accepting this is an upmarket venue, I felt it was overpriced. Drinks at the bar had a service charge added on and all they did was hand over two expensive white wines with hardly a smile. The fixed price menu was fine but again, I feel it was too much money for what it was. Maybe the high-end prices had set my expectations. We had a nice time but watch your £ before booking.

Brilliant! Open to non members at the moment so give it a go and support them! We popped in for a cocktail at the bar and oh my we were just blown away by the service, atmosphere and drinks ended up staying for a few drinks and light bites. We will be back and perhaps as members, given the benefits. Milton Keynes needed this. An upscale venue, but reasonably priced. I felt just as I normally do when I leave a cool venue in London.

Visited on Saturday and had an amazing meal. Started off with a Alpha 75, I would recommend this cocktail if you like Champagne & Gin! Our starters were so delicious and the Oysters were some of the best we had ever had. For main we all had steak either a fillet & Ribeye served with chips and dauphinoise potato which were served beautifully and so tasty. The service throughout the whole meal was expectational, our glasses were continuously topped up and our waitress was so warm and welcoming when we arrived. We will be back again very soon! Thank you to the whole team at Oscars for making our evening very special.

Just brilliant- the service, food and the team are all fabulous . I cannot fault anything. I have been a member for nearly 2 years now and have used Alpha at Oscar’s for both business meetings with clients, events and personal dinners, drinks and big family occasions too. Nothing is too much trouble for the team. Being a coeliac my diet is really important to me. I am always well taken care of and never need to worry about my special dietary requirements or asking any questions - the team fully understand how important this is to me. I can totally recommend becoming a member. This is my go to place for eating in MK.

As parents of three boys we don’t often get a night off. Last Friday, we were lucky enough to spend our one precious night of no parenting eating with friends at Alpha at Oscars. We haven’t experienced service like this anywhere locally, ever! The staff are accommodating, super attentive, engaging, friendly and frankly outstanding at what they do. On top of that, the restaurant is absolutely beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. On to the food - I wish the photos I took did the food justice - just like everything else, all three courses were wonderful. Looking forward to visiting again! You have ruined all other restaurants for me!

We booked for the Burns Night event without really knowing what to expect. In fact, the even if way surpassed our expectations. We were welcomed by the friendly door staff, and even though we arrived early our welcome drink was made in front of our eyes - Rob Roy - was delicious. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. We really enjoyed the piper who entertained us beautifully. A thoroughly enjoyable evening - on a school night, too! And we’re already booked in for our Theatre Night event 🎭 in April. A ‘secret’ venue that more people should be aware of! ❤️

A nice relaxed restaurant in the hub that even has a nice man that opens the door for you. There is a strange membership system in place which means it's not always open to the public. (Weird) The food was excellent. My friend said that 'this was the best breadcrumb I've ever had' and she's not one to make things up. Notable praise indeed. Cannot fault the food; both mains and dessert were delicious and well portioned. Service was quick and staff were attentive and pleasant although the manager dude was very keen to turn my plates into the precise position. Only for me to turn it back again... Good selection of wine and cocktails. Music was jazzy/triphop/hop/hop Recommended.

Once again a place I really shouldn't share as I want to be able to get a table when I wish. However with all the benefits of being a member including double portions (beef and mushroom Wellington) I'm assured of getting a table. The food, service, cocktails and ambiance are not only the best in Milton Keynes. They are on par with, if not better than many fine dining restaurants throughout the country. Keep it up all of the Alpha team.

Smiles all round! Ive just had a Sunday roast with my friends hoted by Zoe and fabulous waiting staff. Its refreshing to see genuine old fashioned service dished up in a classy environment - and with sumptuous food that had me full to the brim. I will most definately join the dining club if it means patronising this wonderful eating establishment again,. Thank you to the attentive staff when we had so many allergies and individual food requirements, nothing was too much trouble - five stars well deserved.

I ate at Oscars with my Fiancee and was blown away with how good everything was. We were greeted at the door and immediately made to feel welcome before having our coats taken to the cloakroom. We ordered 3 courses and each meal was superbly presented and tasted exquisite. The rump lamb cooked medium rare was perfect. Service was 10/10 as was the food. I couldn't recommend Oscars more. Editing this review on two additional visits. The second time was for lunch, and I watched the staff bring in food from the local Saintsburys, before taking over an hour to bring out 8 sandwiches, of which 3 were incorrect. The third time was just for cocktails, and it was quite an awkward experience. I've never felt unwanted in an empty restaurant, but Oscars made me feel that way. I went back today to chance a better experience for a cocktail with some friends. As expected, on a Saturday night, there were 0 customers in the restaurant. We were turned away on the basis that it was a membership only dining experience, which seems, at best, a poor business model, for a restaurant with a scarce clientele, and at worst, dubious.

Really well cooked food. The food is all locally sourced and fresh and you can tell. The menu is varied but small so that what they do cook, they cook exceptionally well. The wine selection was also diverse yet there was nothing priced to make your eyes water. The Venison was cooked to perfection and well accompanied by pureed parsnip, beetroot and some perfect broad beans. The wife had the lamb, seared on the outside, tender on the inside. She highly recommends. We had a side of chips which were crispy and tasty, simply incredible! Finally, the winter Eton mess is possibly the best dessert I've had. The added bonus of all this is that's it's an independent place in an area that until recently was totally dominated by chains. Please do support them.

The place is quite, the service is good, the food is great. It's not cheap but not expensive neither so more or less the average in the area. The menu is not huge so it makes easy to decide. One reason why I don't give the five stars is that if you order a glass of wine for 10£, not cheap wine, you are expecting the waitress so serve the wine from the bottle in front of you and show you the bottle, so you are certain that the wine you have ordered is the wine you are drinking.

Others had the lamb and steak - tripled fried chips were delicious! Shared a nice bottle of red wine. Finished off with sticky toffee pudding.... very very nice evening - would definitely recommend and hope to return soon. Very nice to enjoy a tasty meal in the Hub.

There I was doing my usual sweep on the internet for new local eateries and then I found Oscars, an independent British Brasserie in the heart of MK. The wife and I went along for a meal (we booked, good job we did), and were given a great menu of around 8 main courses (always a good sign). The food was fresh and excellent, I spoke to the lady who is the owner and she told me that she was planning regular seasonal updates to the menu. I highly recommend Oscars it really is an oasis amongst a sea of disappointing chain restaurants, we will certainly return as we believe in supporting our local businesses.

The whole team were amazing, and very patient with us as there were quite a few of us and people kept moving about so was hard to deliver their food to them. Sophie in particular was lovely, extremely accommodating and no request was too big for her. Last year we held our Christmas party at another chain similar and had no end of problems so I was a little anxious this year however the team took all the worry away from me and were superstars throughout the night.
