   This meal was a gift from my husband. We booked an early table on a Sunday evening so the restuarant was fairly quiet. It's a lovely setting, right on the river and is nicely decorated. The service was very good and our food was delicious. My arranchini starter was one of the best I've had. We have already decided to return and try the tasting menu next time.

   Oh dear! Great location with riverside views. First experience was the loo - crap, pardon the pun but hygiene and cleanliness were not up to scratch. Also general state of dining room, tables, etc. This begs the question as to the state of the kitchen! Staff looked like they had just walked in from the street. Some made the effort but not what you expect at a restaurant that was selling it self at this level. Food was mediocre. I had lamb that really didn't have a lot of flavour and croquets that were... out of a packet? Wine again was very mediocre. Michelin starred prices without the Michelin starred experience. Disappointing, will not be returning, not recommended by me.

   We recently had the pleasure of celebrating part of our intimate wedding day at The Folly Oxford, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guests arrived a little earlier than we did whilst we had a wonder round the city, but from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed, providing a great atmosphere. The service made everything feel effortless, allowing us and our guests to relax and truly enjoy our special day. We had some bar snacks and bread tapas alongside our drinks which was fantastic to keep everyone going on a busy day. One of the highlights was undoubtedly the cocktail river cruise. The cruise staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the stunning views of Oxford. Our family haven't stopped complimenting the cruise and it was loved by everyone, the blankets were a great touch as well!! It was the perfect way to celebrate with our family and create unforgettable memories together - thank you!

   Overall great experience and service. Location on the bridge itself has a wonderful view that is fitting for the nice dine in experience. We had the afternoon tea which was well prepared and scones were great. Worth mentioning the afternoon tea/ coffee are unlimited re-fills so feel free to make the most of it. Also if possible, ask for a window seat to soak in the view. The Folly is also a gallery and has a cute boutique shop.

   I recently dined at The Folly and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor was stylish and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The food was truly incredible. Every dish was expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The flavors were bold and delicious, and the portions were generous. We tried a variety of items from the menu and were blown away by the quality of each one. The drinks were also top-notch. The wine list was extensive and offered a wide range of options to choose from. The cocktails were expertly crafted and perfectly balanced. Overall, our experience at The Folly was excellent. The food, drinks, and service were all top-notch, and we left feeling completely satisfied. I would highly recommend The Folly to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable dining experience.

   Superb restaurant by the river on Folly Bridge in Oxford. Nice ambience making great use of fresh flowers, tealights, candles and fairy lights. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Service ( Nicole and Hugo) was friendly, helpful efficient and attentive. The bread platter with duo of butter ( lemon and garlic) was excellent! Good choices of mains including vegetarian dishes. We had the baked cheese cake to finish off a perfect birthday meal! Would recommend.

   What an absolutely fantastic restaurant. I did the river cruise with a three course meal this evening, and I would give it 6 stars if I could. That staff are warm and friendly, the service is quick, but well paced. I had the pork belly as my main course and then entire dish melts in your mouth. Phenomenal. Chocolate fondant for dessert was perfect as I was dining in their outdoor area. Will be bringing my family here when they come to visit!

   An absolutely lovely dinner at the Folly! The presentation of the dishes was superb and unique, and everything was delicious. Service was top-notch -- our water was filled up regularly without us needing to ask, and our finished plates were taken away quickly. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the river, too. Couldn't have asked for a better evening!
