We had a lovely birthday lunch for my Sister. The food was delicious and Torrin provided excellent service with humour and a smile. Thank you for not having music on, it was so relaxing to be able to eat and chat without having to compete with music.

Always our absolute favourite restaurant in Oxford. Such outstanding food and lovely service. The restaurant is comfortable, stylish and well-run. The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. They are also great when it's a family birthday - we appreciated the free dessert for our son! Top-class sushi, not cheap but definitely worth it for a treat. Will be back. Only minor niggle this time: we had (what we thought were) two free sticks to claim on the app. We wouldn't normally order these but after chatting to the waitress about the offer we did choose two. Only when the bill came did we realise (it's in the small print) that they had to be exactly the same sticks to be free so we ended up paying for them. Would have been nice to have this clarified when ordering.
