Attentive & welcoming service. Excellent for gluten free. Food & drinks delicious & tasty delivered fairly swiftly. Restaurant was pretty full. Music was too loud so we had difficulty hearing one another and the tables worn- and not in a good way. However the place was ideal for what we wanted - good food reasonable price. We enjoyed seeing the sun going down on Oxford before we went into the restaurant. Thank you Pho.
