We had a table for two on a Friday night. The restaurant was fairly quiet but we had drinks in the lounge with canapés while we chose our menu. The restaurant rang earlier in the day to check dietary requirements which was useful as I don’t eat meat. They then modified the taster menu to take out the meat dishes. The food was incredibly good, they were just into their autumn menu and it was all tasty and well thought out. The Smokey trout in particular stood out. Our waitress was fantastic, she was from Spain and was lovely and friendly and extremely knowledgable about wine. We had a super meal and evening, it was a shame it was so quiet but this didn’t detract from our wonderful meal.

Just lovely from beginning to end. We arrived a few minutes early and they were more than able to accommodate us. The new (to us) cocktail menu is fabulous: no excess sugar or spritz; just nice short classic cocktails made with the best ingredients. An amazing swordfish steak special was the star of the show not to mention an unexpectedly complex and flavoursome chestnut veloute. One real treat for dessert was *three* different vintage of Sauterne dessert wine available by the glass, including a 1983 vintage which absolutely wowed this diner with its depth and complexity. No. 1 Ship Street is the best restaurant in Oxford, by far.

We celebrated my husband’s and son’s birthdays here last night and had a lovely evening. The restaurant is so beautiful and cosy, lovely atmosphere with beautiful artwork on the walls and a library room type of feel. Friendly service and the food was all delicious. Highly recommend and we will definitely book again.

We had a wonderful experience. The setting is beautiful, the staff were attentive without being too much, very professional and friendly. We had the afternoon tea which is really more of a delightful small dish tasting menu showcasing the chefs skills. The flavours burst out of every dish, they were incredible and although we expected it to be delicious it way surpassed our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the afternoon tea to anyone and we are already planning our return.

Food was fantastic, so please dont think that I didn't give 5* it isn't worth the money. Everything about the place is so pleasant. The staff are absolutely amazing. Me and my partner have been twice now and they went above and beyond on short notice for a birthday. Will definitely be going again even though its a good 45 minute drive from Leicester. Thank you again for such a lovely evening
