We only had one night in Southampton and really wanted to see what the local cuisine was like. Based on Yelp reviews, we decided to try The Oxford. Dinner was wonderful. The seafood linguine was fantastic. A very generous portion and the sauce was not like anything I'd had before. It was flavorful with a kick. As other reviews mentioned, it was not busy but we could not understand why. The atmosphere was lovely, service was good and dinner was great. If we get to Southampton again, we will surely return to The Oxford.

Booked and had confirmation of the booking on the night. We turned up and the restaurant was closed so things don’t look too good, especially with the other recent reviews. Fortunately we were able to get a table elsewhere so our night wasn’t a disaster

We had an extremely disappointing experience during our recent visit, despite having pre-booked a table for an early evening meal with drinks. Upon arrival, the atmosphere was unsettling, with the restaurant nearly empty, which felt strange given how busy Oxford Street was after the Saints’ home game. It almost seemed as if the restaurant was on the verge of closing down - which probably wouldn’t be a bad idea at this point… Once seated, we had a front-row seat to watch the night unravel into chaos. Drinks orders were repeatedly forgotten, and food service was delayed to the point that we witnessed at least four tables walking out in frustration, another two tables complain about the poor service and continue to walk out. The waitstaff informed people that they had run out of certain popular wines - a shocking oversight for a Saturday night. Worse yet, pre-booked tables were turned away at the door, due to “limited stock,” and “we didn’t know you were coming” statements. The drinks wine board also had more items crossed off than were actually available. To top it all off, the card machines broke down, adding to the growing list of issues. Throughout this fiasco, not a single gesture was made to offer a discount or any form of compensation for the dismal service. We simply received excuses as to how things “were not their fault”. We ended up staying, but only because it was almost too late to leave having had our starters and to some degree we felt sorry for the two overwhelmed ‘waitresses’ trying to manage the evening. The only saving grace of the evening was that we arrived early enough to actually receive our food, which was, in fairness to the chefs, perfectly cooked and delicious. *This review does not reflect on the chefs abilities* However, the overall experience was atrocious. This is a far cry from the Oxford Brasserie of the past. Until there is a complete overhaul of management and staffing, this place is best avoided. We won’t be returning and strongly recommend booking elsewhere.

Uses to be superb brasserie, with friendly staff, food above average, good wine and cocktails /mocktails. Worth a detour !! Unfortunately,the whole concept has changed, and not for the better. ( new owner apparently) Atmosphere, terras, service, food-and drink offer below standard .. Under those conditions I would no longer advise to book a table there.

We sat outside and could've been in a Mediterranean city, the maitre de (Tina) was very welcoming. I had the black pudding scotch eggs to start which was full of flavour and texture, followed by the sunday roast belly of pork. Both dishes were a good sized portion and tasted amazing. I could barely manage a pudding so opted for the sorbet, again I was not disappointed with the quality of the food. The Argentinan Malbec was served at the perfect temperature and was absolutely delightful. High praise to the chef, and to Tina who made the whole experience very enjoyable.

When we got there for our dinner at 7:30pm (which we had pre booked). The members of staff at the counter were fumbling about trying to find us a table, even though the restaurant was half empty. We were then seated 10 mins later, not given any menus to look at, no water. Left for 15 minutes without being talked to. When we finally got some menus we saw that 75% of the wine had been crossed off the menu. It took them another 10 minutes for someone to come back and take our drink order, by which time the table across from us left before even ordering. (we should have walked then too). The drinks took ages and the glasses were dirty. When ordering our starters, the waitress wasn't even listening, and had to come back to confirm our order (spolier, she still got it wrong and we ended up with incorrect food). The starters took 1 hour to arrive. And even if they weren't correct, the food was actually lovely. But we were frustrated and over hungry by this point. When our starters were finally cleared we had asked them if we would receive our mains quickly as our taxi was booked for 10pm and it was now 9:15pm !!! (nearly 2 hours and only a starter) Our mains came at 9:50pm and we had all of 5 minutes to try and scoff what was barely mediocre food. The owner was sat round the corner, drinking wine whilst his restaurant looked disgusting, a bar covered in dirty glasses and food still on the tables. The young waiter was lovely and apologetic but unfortunately due to extreme mad management this restaurant goes into one of the worst I have ever been to. Avoid at all costs!

Booked a table for an early dinner for date night before the cinema and, at first, things seemed ok. We were checked in and given drinks menus. It’s a good job we didn’t want wine as the menu had more crossings out and scribbles over it than actual wines. We ordered two Vodka, Lime and Lemonades only for the waitress to return to us and inform us they didn’t have any lemonade. It was a Saturday evening!! We sat there for 30 minutes without anyone acknowledging except for the drinks whilst no-one bought us any menus for food or offered us anything. In the end, we left. Went to the bar and fed everything back and the lady seemed genuinely shocked. She asked me if I’d definitely booked and told them I had when I arrived which was surprising as I could see my name in the diary from where I was standing. The lady who originally sat us down then came over and said that she HAD asked if we wanted food and we said no - no such conversation had taken place and she was clearly trying to cover for herself. The two drinks we had cost me £21 which is disgusting! This restaurant used to be great and felt exclusive. Now it is awful and has gone massively downhill.

Decent food at fair prices.Friendly staff but 50 minutes between finishing starters and mains arriving is not great for a restaurant with only 3 groups dining. Having said that, the food is high quality and certainly would return. Espresso served in an espresso cup filled to the top was slightly surprising, but I am guess a newbie was on coffees that evening.

Great food, we focused more on fish, and the scallops, mackerel, mussels very good. Bouillabase was nice, but not really right from many dishes we have eaten in Europe. All in all food good and reasonably priced but service was VERY slow on a v quiet night for Saturday night. Took nearly an hour for mains to come out with no apology or explanation, but felt they enjoyed the fact it meant we drank a bottle of wine before mains, so had to order another. Despite food being good, we wouldn't go back in a rush because of the service

I have seen some mixed reviews about this restaurant especially about rude staff online but I've still decided to book our special Christmas Dinner for 25th of December. Our Christmas was ruined. As we've arrived for our booking which was confirmed just fwe hours earlier, the waiter and waitress looked at us as if what are you doing here. At this point my mum and sister went outside as they already felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. The waiter then proceeds to tell us that our booking wasn't confirmed and therefore they won't serve us as kitchen is closed. This was at 4:30 pm, my booking was for 5pm. When I tried ti explain I have booked he just said no and GOODBYE. We had no Christmas Dinner and were made feel really bad by rude staff. Don't go here, very rude staff. Many other lovely places on Oxford Street with nice staff.

We were staying in Southampton pre-cruise and, as always, I spent a bit of time reading reviews to select an authentic, local restaurant. I feel like I got this one wrong - maybe it was the time of our reservation (at opening), maybe it was an off night. We were greeted by an intoxicated patron standing around inside the entrance. The guy was trying to engage with seated guests; it felt uncomfortable. The two staff out front seemed frazzled trying to get rid of this guy while serving tables. We had an inside table, patio seating appeared to be tables of guys who had been there a while having drinks. We ordered drinks and, because of our greeting, decided to skip appetizers and order only mains. We ordered risotto and fish and chips; risotto came pipping hot, portion of fish was huge with a ‘gourmet’ flair. Food took a really long time to come out. Maybe there were kitchen issues that night too. Our clothing/jackets smelled like fried smokey food and needed to be laundered. Food was fine; experience was weird.

We visited on a bustling Friday evening in the Oxford Street area and had booked the 'Oxford Brasserie' in advance. We opted for a quieter table just off the main area and it was OK if a little brightly lit and facing the toilets! Service was efficient and friendly. The rose and white wines were very drinkable and we ordered a portion of the 'Chorizo cooked in Sherry' as a nibble to start and it was exceptionally good. We both ate the starter portion of 'Moules' and they were plump and juicy in a tasty 'Mariniere' sauce with bread to dunk in the juices. My wife also opted for a starter portion of the smoked mackerel with beetroot and enjoyed this. I went for the swordfish and whereas it was OK, it was so drenched in the sweet chilli salsa that it was hard to define that it was swordfish - a little disappointing. It wasn't cheap at £123 including service but it was a nice enough meal if not memorable.

This is not a all bad review, but rather a honest one. The evening started off ok, while we were deciding what to eat or drink, the waitress has been consistently asking us what we want for every 2 minutes. I understand it is important for tablet turn around etc, but this stresses us out and not making the dining experience relaxing. When our mains started to arrive, my sister cuts her beef fillet, realising it was very overcooked as she ordered medium rare, so we decided to let the waitress knows. The waitress was really kind and has ask the kitchen staff or manager for the compliant. Nevertheless, waitress came back and insist the steak that was indeed medium rare. With such naive statements, we were very disappointed as just judging from this picture, this steak is not even well done, in fact I would call it “congratulation”. Since they insist they did the right thing and we didn’t insist neither. While my sister was having the steak for that evening, she couldn’t talk for the whole evening because she was chewing the whole time. Rest of the food were ok but at a premium price. We were fine with the price, but we expected premium price comes with premium quality. One of the waiter noticed the issue (which seems to be the manager), however did not came over and ask how was the meal etc, he even avoided eye contact with me (as in I saw him saw me). I guess this restaurant was average, if you want to settle for average, I guess this might be ok for you.

Visited Oxford Brasserie on a Friday lunchtime. Overall the food (once bought) was good but overpriced for what it was (swordfish, a few crispy potatoes - not the saffron crushed as listed and 2 bits of pac choi) lovely cooked fish but for £22 it was somewhat overpriced. In addition my mum ordered the vegetable tagine but after tasting it was curry - very hot and definitely a premade sauce of sorts. As someone sensitive to heat she was unable to eat it but the server kindly swapped out for the fish and chips which were good. The most disappointing part was the atmosphere- we could hear arguing from the back of the kitchen and there seemed to be a bad atmosphere in the room as a result.

TERRIBLE CHEF. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND. AVOID!!!! We ordered a “medium” rib eye steak with 2 starter dishes. The STEAK was OVERCOOKED and the meat was tough and dry, was cooked as well done. We tried two bites and raised the issue to the staff. The chef came out with RUDE attitude and BLAMED us that we raised it too late and ate already. He SAID we were making EXCUSES and the steak was medium. But apparently it was overcooked, the meat was dry and cooked as well done. After some arguments, the chef agreed to cook another steak to less than medium. But when it was brought out, we tried and the “less than medium” was apparently medium. The chef REFUSED TO ADMIT his fault and put BAD ATTITUDE at his customers, even TERRIBLY BLAMED his customers. He is lack of respect to customers and professionalism, and doesn’t know what is medium.

We visit over the weekend for our anniversary dinner. We haven’t been to the restaurant since COVID and sad to say, everything from the food, to service, to ambience has gone down hill. - Our food was inedible: salty, over cooked flavours were contradicting each other. Plates were cold. I can only say we enjoyed the fries. - Service was poor. We (and noticeably other guests) were neglected through out the experience. We 2 pepper shakers (no salt). Staff were not rude but they were definitely overwhelmed and over worked. - Ambience was DISTASTEFUL or felt like a cheap pub. We were sat next to guests were clearly too drunk, things got so bad that 1 even vomited all over himself. Staff took at least 20 minutes to notice the commission and didn’t even clean up. It definitely affected our moods and put a downer on our anniversary. Not worth spending a single penny in there.

Over the years this restaurant has had many different owners and some of them a few years ago almost ran this into the ground. I've been back twice since the present owners, once for a Sunday roast and the food was excellent and again this week for evening meal, again the food cooked great and the quality of the fish and meats were excellent. Atmosphere still needs building up again but I'm recommending the present owners because they are doing a great job at restoring the great restaurant.

Service and food pretty good but quite expensive and no little touches with the bill which would have softened the blow

The service is good. But the food I ordered wasn’t really appropriate. The red wine sauce was extremely sweet as well as the red cabbage. The pan fried scallops were too salty🥲🥲 but the service was really good.

First the food was amazing. However, when we arrived, they asked our name then rather than being taken to our table we were told," sit where you like" as the guy turned his back on us and walked off. We stood not quite knowing what...

The place is nice and the food was good. We all had soup as a starter which was quite meh. Zero salt and not very flavourful. However, the main dish I took was chicken breast with gnocchi and this incredibly tasty! I devoured it in all honesty. The music was good but it was a bit random, jumping from jazz to country and so… The service was nice but the poor girl serving did not know much about anything. She had to go back and forth to the kitchen to check about our questions. It is not like the questions were difficult (e.g. what types of teas do you have?). She must have been new and she was the only one serving that night.

Really good value for money, we had Roast beef and Lamb, decent portions. One of our guests is Vegan which it was not an issue, vegan menu available too at £19.95 three courses. Service excellent as usual. Looking forward to visiting again.

I have been going to this chip shop since I was at college 10 years ago. The food is really tasty, you definitely get your moneys worth. Food is piping hot and the staff are brilliant, so friendly always up for a chat and make you feel so welcomed. I have a chip-shop not far from my house, however I always take that extra journey on the bus to come here as it is one of the best around Southampton. Keep up the great work.

Nice food, friendly staff and very clean. Menu extensive. Prices and portion sizes were very good. Not a very pretty location, but if you don’t want to eat in a chain restaurant or fast food this place is great.

Attracted by the reviews, dropped in on spec with my Mum looking for a lunch that was a bit special. I liked the place immediately. It was busy but Roman was running front of house that day and looked after us both really well. Everything was a pleasure and my Mum said she'd eaten the best lunch she'd had in years. Well recommended indeed.

We held my daughter Erin and son in law Alans wedding reception here. What a great reception it was! Huge thanks to all the staff- what a crew!! They each were so helpful and friendly I couldn't thank them enough. I felt they went out of their way for us, but they insist it's what they do. Jason, Donna, James ..all of you, you made the day perfect! Lynn.
