One of those, we wanted to like it reviews… so, bluntly, we were not pleased with our dining experience at Oxford. Where to begin? First, I definitely noticed they were short staffed on a Saturday night and the staff they had was doing the best they could, I guess. I was seated facing the wall, but I think I only saw 2 wait staff and 1 bartender trying to service a fairly full restaurant, maybe ~50 people. Unfortunately for us, the experience started into a downward spiral before we were even seated, as the wait staff person filling in for the absent hostess said to the other wait staff person who would walk us to a table, “seat them at whatever open 2 top” – not a huge deal, but kind of a “low class” thing to say in front of customers, after I had made a reservation. We were seated and we waited. And waited. At least 15 minutes before a staff member noticed we were not being served. We ordered 2 drinks and our food, as we got the impression that we better order asap or they might not be back. 10 minutes later we got some drinks. Our food came (my date had beef stroganoff & I ordered tikka masala) and it looked okay, but tasted underwhelming, average, nothing special and not worth $22 & $29 a plate. The chicken in the tikka was chicken thighs, the rice and bread tasteless and the sauce bland, as if it came from a jar. Overall, it appeared the owners invested a lot in decor & lighting, but the kitchen needs some help and the staff needs more people & professional training, in my opinion.

I came here to celebrate my father’s birthday.

Upon arrival, we were greeted and there was plenty of seating for my party. All the main entrees on the menu were pretty expensive and did not strike me as very appetizing.

Upon ordering, the food took forever (20-30 minutes) to arrive at my table, despite the business not looking very busy on a Saturday night.

I ordered the Fish and Chips which I assumed was the safe option but turned out to be a mistake. The fish was extremely bland and I had to nearly force myself to finish once I exhausted the small portion of dipping sauce that accompanied the dish. The chips were decent. Overall I enjoyed the appetizer the most which was a deep-fried Macaroni and Cheese plate.

To the restaurants credit, they did provide my father a complimentary dessert which he seemed to enjoy.

Overall, my party did not enjoy the food or experience enough to be keen on returning for a 2nd time in the near future.

The menu suggests there is London as an influence (Britain, UK) but they have strayed a bit from this.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad at all, and I think they have done well to keep the menu size down. They could just be a little more authentic.

Scotch eggs: These were good. Could take a little more salt and pepper but tasty. They are ground lamb scotch eggs, which is not the traditional variety from the UK. Ground pork is the traditional coating around the egg. Great to see the eggs not rock hard inside. Just cooked nicely. And beautifully presented. I would suggest add a small fork to the serving platter if it is being shared. As a group, nobody wanted to use their own “used” fork to take some coleslaw from the platter.

Fish and chips: In the UK fish and chips is served with a piece of fish, typically a fillet or half fillet from the side of the fish. However, here as with most US fried fish presentation, there are rectangular pieces of fish battered and fried. I don’t know why they do this. It is not British though .. There is a side of mushy peas for an extra $2. Don’t waste your money!! They are just the Birds Eye frozen peas (or similar brand), mashed up with a fork. Not mushy peas at all. We did give the feedback but they still charged for them. If you are serving fish and chips and offering mushy peas, have the mushy peas available. Mushy peas are marrowfat peas, not frozen garden peas. A good brand to buy is Bachelors. They are available in tins or dried (if using dried: soak, add bicarb and salt and boil – google the recipe and really make them authentic!)

Bangers & Mash (Sausages): Very good. The sausages were good, the mash very good, and kale went well and not over cooked. If this establishment gets proper mushy peas, they could offer them as a kale alternative, as this would also be British in style.

Service was pretty good, though the bangers and mash took significantly longer to arrive while everyone politely waited to start eating.

Would I go back? Yes.

The Chicken Pot Pie is good, with a flaky pastry topping and plenty of flavor. Cocktails were also good.

Service was poor, with the waiter failing to take our food order until the drinks had arrived. Then the wrong food showed up, before being taken away and delivered to another table. No offers to refresh drinks despite them being obviously empty and others at the table ordering more.

The place is loud without any soft furnishings, making conversation hard.

Go to Roberto’s nearby, it’s much better.

Perfect British pub, food is well cooked and very close to the authentic British pub food. Pot pie, chicken kababs and chicken flat bread is to die for ! The fusion of Indian and Mediterranean taste symbolizes the classic London pub food.
Great drinks, great menu items and ambience is also pretty good.
Prices on the higher side though ! Worth a try for a nice dinner date !

No question about ambience. Sunnyvale downtown vibes. Service was great. Table setup is also perfect with views of the bustling street. Food is not so great for the price. Butter chicken tasted pretty bland and sweet. Not many options with cocktails as well.

Beautiful seating arrangement, bar and dining area. Service is above and beyond, made sure everything was on point. pomegranate margaritas and red wine paired perfectly with their steak and shrimps. Restroom is clean and the atmosphere is lovely lighting and vibe are fitting.

Nice place for a casual meal. The food is alright but nothing out of the ordinary. The service is very bad. Long, long waits for my waiter to take my order even though it was a slow night. Made me feel like I was an annoyance by keeping him from whatever else he thought needed to be done.

This place should change its name to prevent disappointment in expectations. A British theme gastropub with no English beers on tap because they ran out of the only one they had. The shepherd pie tasted like lamb meat bolognese covered in mash potatoes. They have more Italian items on their menu than British items.. heck, the Irish pub across the street is more English than this place.
