Nice setting, great food, excellent service, we had a really good evening. I had a super cocktail at the bar, a lovely bottle of red with dinner, our waiter looked after us very well, polite and didn’t rush us. We will definitely be back, thankyou.

Food and service brilliant. Very accommodating when plans changed after we arrived and increased table size. For the quality of food you are having I also think the prices are reasonable. Always like to eat here when visiting Southampton prior to a cruise.

Simon's is effortless yet attentive. From the great welcome at the bar, the good but not intrusive service from the waiting staff and the cool decor, this is somewhere that I feel relaxed in. I really like the menu selections, it's not overwhelming, but there is a good choice to suit different moods, palates and dietary requirements. I always want to come here when I'm in Southampton!

Whilst the food was good, my asked for her lamb to be cooked well-done, but it was served pink and was also quite cold but our Cheese souffle starters were excellent. No staff member came to check on us during the main course, we had to mention the problem when they collected the plates.

Oxfords is different to so many other places in being owner managed. Always good food and service - and at a reasonable price. Standards are high and it is a restaurant that is well worth visiting

Whilst the quality of the food was fine the service let it down. We waited a very long time to get served all the way through, it wasn't particularly busy and so not clear why the food (and to some extent the drinks) took so long to arrive. Even placing an order took ages.

Great food, good service, with good ambience. The wine could have done with being cold when first bought to the table but it did improve in the ice bucket.

Very lively bar , food was quite good , the duck salad was mostly duck not so much salad. The most disappointing thing was that the toilets were out of order and we had to go across the road to another restaurant to go to the ladies. No sign was put up and we were not warned about this .

The restaurant is so lovely and the staff are so friendly and attentive. Our meals were ok but the roast lunch was overloaded and basically too big. The steaks were over cooked and a little dry.

I booked on - line and had confirmation for a table of 4 people at 6pm. Two of which hadn't eaten at this venue before. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress who looked after us very well during the evening. We all opted for the 'set menu', one had steak & chips the rest had the chicken.The steak was cooked perfectly as requested by the client and was very tasty. The chicken was beautifully cooked moist and succulent on a bed of sauté potatoes. I loved this chicken very tasty with hollandaise sauce. I missed having any vegetables with this dish as it was quite a small portion. We decided to have a sweet each, one enjoyed his berry "Eton mess " but the rest had the "Treacle tart sundae" which was far too sweet, a mashed up mess, covered in chantilly cream, unfortunately we had to leave them. Overall the food was good the wine was nice and waitresses were excellent.

The staff were welcoming, friendly and efficient. Simon's Oxfords is not cheap so we go only occasionally. We have never had a bad meal over the years and would highly recommend a meal at Simon's at Oxfords. Our 3 course Sunday roast dinner was excellent and worth every penny. Yumm!!!!

Great food and wine, service was efficient and pleasant, overall the evening was good value for money, the only slight downside was that the room was quite hot and attempts to reduce the temperature with the a/c had little affect.

Excellent Sunday roast. Very busy, so service a bit patchy. Kindly brought me a small roast because I was getting over the flu, but I got the full range of vegetables and a full size Yorkshire.
