We hired the white dome for our daughter’s 21st birthday. It looked really pretty when we arrived. The service was very attentive all evening, the food was all really tasty and the wines good. It seated 25 of us and was really warm and cosy with the heaters. All in all we had a great evening!

We went for a Saturday night treat for myself and my partner. We were going to have the tasting menu, but everything sounded delicious so instead we had three starters, two mains and two desserts! Naughty, but so so tasty. The food was all fantastic. The staff were al brilliant. They are friendly, attentive, thoughtful and provided excellent service. We sat in one of the winter pods outside and they delivered us a button to press should we need any service help. We never needed to use the button. There were blankets if we got chilly, but the pods are so cost, we were fine. We were even able to use their mini speaker and play our own music to add to the atmosphere. It was just the most perfect night in Oxford I have experienced in years. I own a local tours company and will be telling all my guests to come here. Thank you to all The Folly team for a wonderful evening.

The Folly is a great venue to celebrate a special occasion. We visited for our 25th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful dinner. Staff were exceptionally friendly and courteous without being stuffy. We enjoyed all three course and would definitely recommend the experience to others. If I was to be picky the only minor criticism is that the staff could have been a bit more smartly dressed. But overall, GREAT - Thank you.

Beautiful place but arriving as a family (7) we did not feel welcome even when ignored by the staff (polite on the other hand). There was room. I can't say if the food is good we crossed to the other restaurant on the other bank.

Food and service was disappointing for a place that calls itself fine dining. Sorry to be a bit crude but it really give the feeling the kitchen is trying too hard with the menu and just doesn't deliver. I would have preferred simpler food but better executed. Couple of examples to back up my comment: the duck liver parfait with a layer a caramelised sugar "crème brûlé" style and a side chutney packed with cinnamon, why? It just doesn't work I'm afraid, not sure if I was eating a starter or a bad dessert ... the other starter we had was pretty on the plate but really bland in taste... We then had to wait 50min for the main... The lamb was cooked perfectly but the jus had a burnt taste, could tell something burnt in the pan. The fish of the day arrived massively overcooked. The place in itself is absolutely beautiful. The cocktail we had was delicious. The server we had wasn't really good. 2 stars might be a bit harsh but the fact is out of the 4 plates we ordered, non were ok, and only one plate was fully eaten. Not quite what I was expecting for fine dining.

Beware of eating outside at the Folly. For more than £100 per head we deserved better. The cruises they run embark and disembark by the outside tables. Near the end of our meal the "captain" of the cruisers started hoovering and cleaning the boat less than 10 feet from our table. I explained it was interfering with the enjoyment of our meal and he told me he was required to do it by his manager, then noisily rolled down all of the plastic rain barriers on the side of the boat and carried on. I spoke to the restaurant manager who offered to move us, but we had finished eating by then. He said he was sorry and would feed back to the owner (who also owns the boat company) and that there had been previous similar complaints by diners. I suspect if the owner was inclined to do anything about it (like clean the boats in the morning, before the tours start, when there are no diners on the terrace) they would have done something before. A nice meal on a stunning evening was greatly diminished by this avoidable problem.

We've lived in Oxfordshire for 7 years and always wanted to try here. Sadly, we'll never return. The food was terrible. The service was slow and nothing special. We ordered the pork terrine and duck parfait for starters. Pork terrine was tasteless, like they haven't seasoned it. Duck parfait had a strange sugar glaze on top like a crème brûlée, didn't work. We had lamb and fish of the day for mains. Lamb was just a roast dinner, nothing special. Fish of the day, waiter didn't tell me what fish it was and it was incredibly dry and so I didn't eat it. Thankfully they did remove that from the bill but with the bill being at £93, not worth the prices at all. We then went to grab a burger at popeyes afterwards because it was such disappointing food. If you're a foodie, stay away from the Folly!

Amazing restaurant - we came as a family group of 6 for the tasting menu, but came early for a bottle of prosecco to enjoy the beautiful view of the river. The tasting menu was fantastic. Each course was delicious, and the paired wine on the wine flight was perfect for each course. One of us is coeliac (gluten free) and they made very small adjustments to his food, but it still looked and tasted as good as ours. We will definitely be back, and I 1000% recommend the tasting menu and wine flight. Very reasonably priced compared to other places, local produce, and really accommodating for dietary requirements!

I’ve long wanted to try this restaurant but my experience wasn’t what I expected. The food was so so and the restaurant layout was poor. We were given a table between 2 toilet entrances and what was worse, there was a table for a group of 11 next to us. Actually their long table was nearly on top of ours and their talk was loud and noisy. We could hardly hear ourselves. We couldn’t wait to get out after the main course. I won’t go back again.

Great experience with a relaxing 1.5 hour boat tour from the River Thames. Oxford with a difference. We were there very early and waited in the restaurant for our tour. The waiter (I think he was from Romania) was very nice and chatty. We felt totally comfortable and we will definitely come back for dinner. On the boat we had the high tea etagere (booked directly) and an additional glass of sparkling wine (which you can book and pay for in advance in the restaurant). Otherwise there is water and tea - included in the price of the tour. We sat in the back and had a great overview and Joe, a very friendly boat captain. Driving through a lock was also something different... Small note: If you're hoping to sightsee Oxford on the water, don't do it. It's more like something to relax. Apart from the lock and passing rowing clubs, there isn't much to see other than water and nature... .

Very very Mid! Came for my mum's birthday lunch. Little did the know that half of us have worked in and managed some of the best restaurants in the city. Service was very slow, empty cups and plates being left for ages. Drinks took an far longer than they should have for the amount of staff to customers. No friendly chat or vibing with us, I asked about a few recommendations and didn't get much enthusiasm, I'd expect staff to be a lot more attentive for the amount of service they are getting. Setting was lovely and they are blessed with a river front setting. Food. Very very Mid. Prices are on the steeper end with mains between £30-40 a dish. No problem paying for good food. Presentation was nice but food didn't have much going on. Found very bland. My sister had a bean burger and was dry as a bone. Pork was well cooked but none of the ingredients shone. Id maybe say check out for high tea but chef needs to have a look at seasonings etc as really wasn't wowed. Good priced wine but quite a basic menu of the usual suspects. Pinot grigio etc. Cocktails were pleasantly surprising.

Brilliant service and staff! I can't thank the staff enough for helping me to make my wife's Birthday lunch a surprise, as I had organised for our daughter and her partner to turn up unannounced. The whole team played along even though our surprise guests were late, which made ordering the food and keeping the surprise a bit difficult. The staff work so hard at creating such a relaxing atmosphere and are so attentive. Its just such a shame that the food (or at least food that we ordered) didn't quite match the service. They also need to do something with the canopy outside as this impedes the view of the Thames, which was the whole point of me booking the table that I booked. I feel a bit guilty not giving a 5 star review but this restaurant really does have so much potential. A brilliant location with a professional, helpful and friendly team.

Really good place, beachy in decor and right on the river. Chose The Folly because of the excellent reviews on food quality. Have eaten afternoon tea in top London venues & often over-priced and disappointing. Not so at The Folly: v fresh sandwiches & cakes & amazing scones . So often they can be a bit dry or tasting of bicarb. We had Prosecco and it equally lovely. Price v reasonable. Staff very attentive & kind. Only reason I didn’t give 5*: menu needs something chocolatey in it & there could be a few more sandwiches ( although we wouldn’t have had room for them …. But the sandwiches were really nice and some might prefer more sandwiches and fewer cakes to eat) Delightful experience!
