Browns Oxford in Oxford

We had an absolutely fabulous time. Our waiter John was incredible and catered to our every need with enthusiasm, we felt very welcomed and well looked after. The food was amazing and the overall evening was lovely. We will definitely be retuning.

Had a wonderful time in Browns. Food was fab and Service especially from aurelia was fantastic. Such a special treat, especially as its mothers day.

Great service from Aurelia and lovely food

Aurelia was amazing had great service all night would definitely come back because of her

Aurelia was fantastic, flawless service. Very much looking forward to coming back

We went there for my wife’s birthday dinner, just to two of us, not being there before. We were not sure what to expect but the food was great, as well as the recommended wine. Our host Aurelia made sure we have everything we needed, always around with a smile and made our evening perfect!

We were a large group and Eder did a great job !! The space is beautiful, lovely wine list . My advice is to order simply : onion rings were some of the best I have ever had , the lobster pasta was excellent, other items missed .

Food took ages to arrive. We were then told it would be out in 3 mins, but then it took 15 and when it arrived many items were cold. Not repeating that again.

we had aurelia serving us! she was lovely and made the experience good!

Amazing afternoon tea, great service from Aurelia

Aurelia was our server and she was so attentive and lovely! Will come back soon!

Great service from John, lovely banter from Matt!

Great service from Aurelia!!!! 🩷

Do not expect good and friendly service here. They only do things by the book and rudely serve and collect the dishes. As if you are eating there for free. Their chairs are the most uncomfortable and their food was eatable, not delicious, just eatable for the price charged. This is from my personal experience of having been there twice on two years. The Asian waiter is impolite and seemed like he was in the wrong job as there is no service mind.

We were walking by and decided to have a little look on what browns was. Little did we know we were taken by the menu and served by an absolutely amazing waitress called Aurelia who genuinely gave us the best experience possible as she was funny, kind and very welcoming and attentive towards us. The food was also presented beautifully and was extremely delicious and well priced for the portion sizes and genuinely made a wonderful date experience. Definitely would recommend if you want to treat your partner to seafood.

Amazing all round, can’t wait for my next visit. Aurelia was amazing, hope she’s working next time I visit!

Loved our early Mother’s Day meal. Many thanks to Aurelia for her service. Fantastic.

Came here for my twins 21st birthday. 2nd time we've been here. So good. Special thanks to Aurelia for the amazing service. Whole restaurant sang for my boys which was extra special.

Worst afternoon tea I have endured. Luke warm coffee, stale scones microwaved to within an inch of their lives to soften them but if left to cool they turn back into stale rocks. Cakes were poor, sandwiches were average for a sandwich but poor for what should be a high end establishment. Service was good! Sorry Browns but you really need to improve.

We had a 21st birthday meal for our grandsons. The food was gorgeous. Our waitress, Aurelia, was wonderful. Everyone had a fabulous time.

I want to commend Aurelia for their outstanding service. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel very welcome. Thank you so much 😊

Had the best time ever at browns!!! and Aurelia was incredible!!

The level of detail and care shown by Aurelia was truly impressive. They made our dining experience not only enjoyable but also memorable. From the moment we were seated, Aurelia made us feel valued. Their positive attitude and attention to detail made our brunch special. Aurelia you're a credit to Brown's, thank you for such an enjoying experience :)

I had my birthday lunch here with my family, including grandchildren. We had a great time, the food was excellent & we had delicious cocktails AND a plate with Happy Birthday was brought to the table with a profiterole, strawberry & cream which was such lovely surprise.. All of the staff were very friendly & professional. I had fish pie & my only complaint is that there was fish skin in the pie which I don't like but it was nevertheless was one of the best I've had. Other people had Shepherd's Pie, Hamburger, Pumpkin Ravioli, Portobello Mushroom & Halloumi Burger. All a great success.

A quiet Sunday evening so the atmosphere wasn't great but the service and food was excellent. The sharing seafood platter to start was well worth it and the rib eye steak I had was perfect. My wife wanted cod but it was off the menu and they substituted Monkfish in its place. Top notch !

Came for breakfast today. Great tasting mushroom omelette.

Went for brunch. Food was good, pancakes were a bit sweet but Benedict eggs were really good. The atmosphere wasn't what we expected but still fine.

I don’t give reviews very often but the staff at Browns Oxford deserve the effort . 5*****. Outstanding service and food. Faultless from start to finish.

Fave spot for a bit of bottomless. Huge shoutout to Ilyas who made us feel more than welcome. This is by far the best experience I have had in Oxford and Browns really should be the baseline for all places which aspire to provide a bottomless brunch with class. We will definitely be back, thank you once again for your impeccable hospitality!

Service excellent as always but disappointed in quality of food today, shepherds pie, sloppy meat and mash on top, flavourless, cold burger and dry Yorkshire pudding disintegrated into dust when cut.

The waiter with glasses and brown hair was very rude. My chicken skewers were RAW. When dealing with it, the server took my chicken skewers and half my sourdough which was also on my plate. It was a horrific start to the meal to say the least. The bill was dealt with accordingly but still affected our 1 year anniversary. The waiter seriously needs to learn how to deal with a form of complaint and also needs to learn guest experience and customer service. Really poor imo. I would not recommend.

Elegant location and friendly staff, especially Eder who served us very well. We had a beautiful afternoon tea. Recommended.

A cosy spot. This can also be a good choice for business meal. Whilst the taste of food itself is just OK.

Beautiful and trendy place. The waiter seated us near the window where a cold draft came from. The waiter told us that the window was not well closed but didn’t do anything about it. I kept my jacket the whole time. The restaurant is enormous, with plenty of seats available in warm places. The linguine with prawns and crab: very spicy, full of herbs, greasy, small shrimps, invisible crab. The menu should indicate when a meal is that spicy. The duck starter was good. Pricy wine, but that’s Oxford. Men’s toilet not well maintained with detached and dirty toilet seat.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch there. Started with nice cocktails followed by a traditional roast. The gravy was the best I had ever tasted. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was just perfect with pianists playing calming background music.

Great meal and EDEN WAS a great waiter

The food pricey for a mediocre meal, and the service was fine, but we had to laugh when they refused to serve our children a simple mocktail. Apparently, a fruit punch with a fancy garnish is a slippery slope! Classic case of woke rules gone wild - virtue-signalling policies that make no sense.

Aurelia was excellent today, great service and a wonderful brunch

First time having afternoon tea with my sister and it did not disappoint! We had a lovely time, the service was great and the food was delicious - will definitely be coming back :)

Aurelia was the waitress for our large birthday party, she kindly took photos for us making our time at Browns very special. Aurelia was informative about the menu, attentive and kept our drinks flowing, she brought us a special birthday dessert for the birthday girl - absolutely 5* xxx X7 for everyone at the table who can’t get on the wifi .

Aurelia .. what a wonderfully attentive waitress, nothing was too much trouble!😊

I visited with some guests from out of town, and the food was excellent! Service was outstanding, and special mention to Orelia who went above and beyond to make sure our party enjoyed our visit.

Lovely food, interesting menu and good service.

Great food, great service, couldn't fault anything

Excellent meal, the food was cooked well and the staff was excellent. Aurelia was very attentive and made sure my friends and I were taken care of as well

Auriela was a wonderful waitress, who provided wonderful service, with a beautiful smile. The food was amazing and was cooked beautifully. Would definitely recommend

We have had an amazing time. Eder gave us advice on our first ever bottomless brunch then we ordered food which was delicious then the bloody Mary’s and Prosecco kept flowing. Service was attentive and not lacking at any point. The whole experience has been wonderful I will be back with many friends. Thank you Browns.

The food was beautiful, drinks were delicious and staff were super friendly

Wow what a fabulous bottomless brunch -it started with a delicious Bloody Mary and there was no looking back - it was definitely bottomless. Eden was a extremely helpful, attentive and we’ve had a great time - I will be back :)

Bottomless brunch …. What can I say … excellent service by Eden , wonderful atmosphere

Friend recommended Browns so 5 of us turned up on the night as we were in the area. Accommodating us with great service from Aurelia who was delightful. 👌 Food was delicious and would definitely come back.

Top quality food, with a varied menu. Service was impeccable Aurelia was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.

Aurelia, was fantastic! Couldn’t do any more for us. Very friendly, quick service and helpful. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

Aurelia was so lovely and catered to all our needs for our bottomless brunch! Highly recommend

Thank you aurelia, you made our bottomless brunch amazing. Fast service and great feedback

Travelled from Henlwy on Thames and we were not disappointed A great atmosphere and really wonderful food all topped off by our amazing host Aurelia who made us feel like long lost friends Highly recommended

We had a lovely brunch to celebrate my birthday at Browns. The food was delicious, and our server was very attentive and friendly. He even organised a surprise birthday plate of profiteroles which was so unexpected and lovely!

Bottomless Brunch great. Aurelia our waitress was great. Will be back.

Aurelia was excellent and we had a great lunch here. Many thanks!

Aurelia looked after us so well!

Had a fabulous bottomless brunch. Thank you to Aurelia for great service.

Aurelia was fantastic. She is an asset to browns

Orelia served us a lovely bottomless brunch!

Roast potatoes overdone on one side

Aurelia was excellent, very friendly and made our Valentine’s very special.

Visit last year..We went to lunch yesterday, greeted without a smile as if we were intruding by what i think was a manager, we were then wisked to the table and he walked off without even a smile, we were finally greeted by our waitress around 10 minutes of seating. We ordered and when the food came my daughters burger had a large hair on the burger, lucky she noticed straight away. We told one of the people and they said they would change it. No appology or concern. We starting eating our meal and 15 minutes after asked 3 people if the burger would be long and if they could check, finally almost 20 minutes after the incident the burger arrived, obviously my wife daughter and i had finished our meals.. this actually ruined everyones meal and we had no time to order pudding as we had other commitments. I ordered the Bill ad to my surprise no one apologised for any delays which is basically rood in any restaurant, I was charged for our free cocktail, and i had to make the point that i was not happy paying service so they should take it off (even though I left a cash gratuity as the waitress acknowledged the situation and went to speak to the manager who comped the burger... She was the only person that apologised but actually only did so after i showed discontent We are not cattle and this is not what we expect from one of the oldest restaurants in our city VISIT TODAY We went back today 9th feb as was offered a voucher..and can say i made a mistake by telling them i ws going back as my Roast beef was awful, potatoes hard as stone, cut overcooked and tough.. hard to do with a sirloin ... service was so so .. but 30 minutes after order in a less than half full restaurant for mediocre quality food ,,, Tough Sirloin.. i left half the meat and when they took the plate away no one asked why... 1/2 eaten plate Obviously a reheated yorkshire pudding Again most probably re-heated potatoes as they were so hard i could not bite into them ( my daughters potatoes were fresh) so its worrying that they reserve food) however she stated it was tasteless Gravy very salty Plenty of parsnips carrots and greens which were ok but don't expect to pay 21.95 for edible roast vegetables.. No one happy staff wise don't look comfortable or happy, customers look disgruntled on both visits, but i suppose no one cares as service is added on i wont be visiting again

Staff were friendly and happy to seat us even though we were an hour early for our booking. Sunday lunch was delicious

We were seated and abandoned. After 15-20mins asked "Have you ordered yet?". The tea and selection of pastries arrived and unceremoniously dumped on the table. The pastries were obviously warmed in a microwave (they were chewy, like elastic) and towards the end of our snack my partner discovered what looked like to be mould on the Pain au Chocolate! Very disappointed. Will use Taylors next door for our mid morning tea and cake in future!

What can I say?? Well, what can’t I say.. We were looked after by Aurelia, and she is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Would highly recommend browns Oxford, fantastic service!!!!

Service was attentive, sometimes a little too much. Our needs were catered for, in terms of timings, as we had to leave at a certain time in order to reach the Oxford Playhouse. The food was served efficiently but the starters were quite disappointing, at least for two of us. The 'exotic mushroom' dish with asparagus was undernourished with asparagus - only 1 tip on my plate - and the seasoning underwhelming. The tarragon and vinegar dressing barely breathed, whilst the sourdough was not as advertised in the menu - it crunched like cheap, shop bought loaf. The main courses fared better, where greater depth of flavour emerged, although the green bean side dish had not been tossed in its dressing beforehand : a pre-requisite, I would argue. Dessert loked good but the chocolate torte was not very special and had not been brought to room temperature and tasted, texturally at least, like something more akin to the chocolate fridge cake my then best friend's mum used to make about 40 years ago. The raspberry sorbet that accompanied it was refreshing and tangy, providing a pleasant and necessary contrast.

Aurelia is the best person I ever met in a restaurant. Her customer service is outstanding ! She is a plus for your restaurant 💯

It was my 30th birthday meal on Sunday - been to Browns on numerous occasions and my most recent visit with Ingrid as our waitress was by far the most special of them all! Thanks Ingrid for everything!

Fantastic meal celebrating my daughters partners birthday in the private room. Ingrid was very hospitable and went out of her way to help make it even more of a special occasion for us. A wonder assets to the Browns team!

Great service from Ingrid, she helped us out massively for the 30th Birthday celebrations last Sunday. Ingrid went above and beyond with her service!

We came here on Sunday 2nd for my partners 30th - our waitress Ingrid went above and beyond with EVERYTHING! From helping me set up my decorations to having such fantastic customer service and also arranging a special birthday dessert for my partner, she is by far the best waitress I have ever come across and would go back to Brown’s purely for her service! Very much hope she gets the recognition she deserves!! Thank you Ingrid!

Great atmosphere Staff was awesome Booked for afternoon tea for 6 people Tea was amazing I would recommend this to anyone.

Aurelia was polite and efficient and we would rate her service very highly!

Browns can always be relied upon for great food, service and atmosphere. Our server Aurelia was fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tasty food, excellent service. Aurelia is a top waitress

Had a great meal for a family 70th birthday. Eder looked after us fantastically. Food was excellent and service to match. Thank you again!

Thank you to Aurelia for a great service. I can recommend the sea bass.

We were in Browns with our friends. The service is exellent and the food is delicous. Many thanks to Aurelia for serving our table. She was very possitive and gave us good advice about dishes

Matt provided a very good service and was witty and pleasant. We were positively impressed by the food and the place. Will definitely come again!

Thoroughly enjoyed our latest visit to Browns. The quality of the food was excellent and represented good value for money. Disappointed that beef roast no longer available but compensated by offering a more expensive item on menu at same price.

Ingrid was simple amazing !!! Excellent service !!! We will be back soon

Amazing experience. Ingrid was great and friendly. We will need back soon. Live the food, piano was a great touch.

Ingrid was an amazing service, attention to detail was spot on. So kind and very chatty which was lovely! Thank you!

Ingrid was brilliant and couldn’t do enough for us! We had the afternoon tea and it was delicious

Quite an awful afternoon tea with stale bread, stale scones and very sweet mass produced cakes. Very disappointing!

Great place with wonderful food. Our waitress Ingrid was lovely, friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back when we're visiting Oxford again

Delightful in every way; friendly, helpful and very professional. Excellent food and service.

The visit was excellent. Eder was a fantastic host who looked after our group of 14 brilliantly. He secured us a private room and made sure our experience was first class. Nothing was too much trouble and he was extremely helpful in making sure our family celebration went very smoothly. Everyone had a wonderful time and we created some wonderful memories with Eder’s help. Thank you

great food and service only downside was a drunken noisy party in a private room

We had an afternoon tea today, it was lovely, loved the food! We were served by Aurelia and she was so sweet and kind, wouldn’t be the same experience without her.

Great food, excellent service by Ingrid. A lovely place to meet up with friends.

Welcoming, relaxed - and delicious food. Aurelia was great and it was nice to sit in the quieter area.

Had a lovely lunch at Brown’s - fun memories of university days - thank you Aurelia for looking after us so well!

Lovely food and vibe. Ingrid gave brilliant and thoughtful recommendations and service.

Yummy food, I had the fish pie and it’s exactly what you would expect. Thank you Ingrid!

Had a lovely time. Food was great service even better. Thank you ingrid!
