   We arrived a bit earlier and we stayed at the bar to wait for our table. We enjoyed a nice cocktail and it was nice to watch other cocktails been prepared. The lady preparing them was very good, nuce and friendly. Time passed by until we realised they had forgotten about us. As soon as we made them aware they gave us a nice table and as a gesture, there was no charge for the drinks we already had. They took our order in no time. The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere very nice and enjoyable. The service was also very nice and this made us forget the little oversight that happened at the beginning. All the people working there were extremely kind and pleasant. We will definitely go back.

   Thank you for your review. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the cocktails, I have passed your compliments to Susan. I would like to apologize for the error on our side, you should not have waited that long to be seated, but I'm happy to hear that the team turned it around, and you had a great night overall. I hope we can welcome you back soon. Kind Regards, Undine, Restaurant Manager

   The food was good and generous portions the waitress very attentive. But the tables are very close together and with loud neighbours it was difficult to have a conversation with your eating partner.

   Third time I have had the ravioli at the Quod and it is sublime. Might be the best ravioli I have ever had. Try it followed by the sticky toffee pudding. Simply marvellous. Staff charming. Setting lovely. What a wonderful place.

   A late supper following a wonderful concert at the Sheldonian. My nephew and I were guests in the Old Bank Hotel, so it made perfect sense to eat in the restaurant. Overall, the experience was a happy one. The front of house staff are a delight and willing to get things right. However, an overly long menu lacking in any clear identity should have rung alarm bells from the start. Adequate starters of Octopus, potatoes & Chorizo was better than a lacklustre chicken and ham hock terrine with an inoffensive, if pretty tasteless, pear chutney. My nephew, who eats everything put in front of him, felt the potato portion was overly generous as a starter. My seared duck breast, roast celeriac purée and braised red cabbage was a crashing disappointment. Grey, dry, overcooked duck with flabby skin was just an insult, and should never have been sent from the kitchen. That it also managed to arrive cold was quite an achievement. The celeriac purée was very good indeed, the red cabbage overwhelming in its abundance. A huge plate of sad mediocrity. Front of house were engaged, concerned and stylish enough to remove the duck from the bill. Our choice of wine was unavailable, and we were offered an inferior bottle ‘at the same price’ as though this were a bonus. We chose a very good Bordeaux at a much better (lower) price point. Additional mistakes on the final bill just added to the irritation. That said, it is worth repeating that the staff are absolutely lovely. As indeed was breakfast the next day. In the same restaurant, with equally well-trained and smart staff, the contrast could not have been greater. The highest quality ingredients, treated with understanding, respect and care, gave us a breakfast to remember. Truly excellent bacon, a perfect, herb-infused sausage, coarsely textured, sublime black pudding and great coffee too. It was astonishingly good. Morning chef, please talk to evening chef.

   Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the concert at the Sheldonian. I'm glad to hear that the overall experience was a happy one, but I'm so disappointed to hear that we let you down on some elements of your dinner. I have passed your feedback to the rest of our management team, as well as our head chef. I do hope you will give us another try in the furure. Best wishes, Undine, Restaurant Manager

   Had to get up and find someone to take our order after waiting for 40 minutes Service and attitude was not good in comparison to previous visits - not in a hurry to revisit

   Thank you for your review. I'm disappointed to hear that you had to stand up to get our team to take your order, and that the overall service and attitude was not up to our standards. We have investigated this, and we have addressed it with our team to prevent it from happening again. I do hope that you will give us another try in the future. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind Regards, Undine, Restaurant Manager
