   We chose The Fish to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday and could not have found a better place for the occasion. We were a large family group of 25 but Denisa worked hard to arrange the tables as per our request. Despite the restaurant being full on the day the service was very friendly and efficient. There were various dietary needs and allergies in our group but the menu met all those needs. Last but not least the food was absolutely superb. Thanks Jean-Philippe and Denisa for helping make our day so perfect.

   A true gem of a restaurant. Despite being fully booked on a Wednesday evening, the staff kindly found us a table and welcomed us with fresh homemade bread, butter and olives. The food is made from scratch, full of flavour, and the service is warm and attentive. We’ll certainly be returning but would strongly recommend booking in advance.

   This evening we visited the Fish for the first time and were extremely impressed. The food was excellent and had a real home made quality about it. Importantly for us, they had a good selection of vegetarian options which is unusual these days where most other places offer only one or two. Fear not meat eaters, there were also plenty of options for you. As the food, ambience and service were so sublime we decided to treat ourselves to 3 courses to prolong the evening. The service was amazing, both friendly and efficient and all this was experienced against the backdrop of a large beautiful garden in the warm setting sun. Idyllic.

   Came here for a friends birthday on a Thursday evening at 6pm. There were three of us and we booked in advance. Even though our booking was at 6:30pm, they were happy to sit us down and as the restaurant was mostly empty at this point we were given free choice of where to sit and opted for the conservatory area as it was brighter and warmer. Beofre sitting down we painlessly ordered our drinks from the bar and took them with us. The one flaw with this place is the lack of good non-wine drinks choice, but given this is a French focussed Restaurant, this can be forgiven. The interior definitely wasn't pub like and felt more like a European Bistro / Diner and it was lovely with great decor and tableware. After sitting down we ordered our food from the A La Carte menu which had a great selection of dishes for Starter and Main. After our order was taken we were brought some bread (malted seeded brown and white), butter and olives as an appetizer with a carafe of tap water. The tap water was always refilled without us having to ask which was excellent. When our starters arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by the presnetation. All our dishes looked great! I ordered the Cod, and my friends the Battered Prawns and the Cheese Tarte. The only criticism of the starters was that the batter for the prawns could have been crispier as it was a tad soggy. They weren't cold though! Other than that, they tasted delicious and there were no complaints. The mains ordered were two Sea Bass Fillets and the Gingerbread crusted Hake both of which were very well received both in presentation and taste, there were no complains here! Of course we had to go the whole hog and order two desserts which were the warm banana bread with ice cream and the baked apple tart with custard. They were both excellent and we didn't have anything to complain about. We ended our meal with tea and coffee which came with some wonderful chocolate truffles. Overall, The Fish delivered in both service, ambience and food with the service being attentive and of a high quality, the ambience making it feel like were in a French Bistro and the food feeling truly homemade and presented beautifully. Full marks from us!

   Food was really nice and well presented. All home made. My family only speak French. Staff were patient and Chef went behond expectations by helping my family to understand the menu. We arrived at a very quiet time and was not overbusy for him to help. I will highly recommend the place. Water/bread was brought to the table without us ordering it as it is complementary in France.

   Great place to stop for lunch. Super service, lovely garden and not far from Abingdon and indeed Oxford. Lovely choices on menu and food chosen well and cooked exquisitely. And just look at the champagne choice, you are in good hands. Just look at such an eclectic choice. I had the baked Camenbert, but next time will be the pigeon. Returned 1 month later, never disappointing. Super scallops

   The staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. We dined outside under the pergola which gave us a little shelter from the sun. They pampered us to our needs and the food was excellent, we all had the Sea Bass stuffed with crab and soft cheese, shrimps, pink pepper corns on a bed of vegetables and a separate bowl filled with lemon flavoured rice. We all chose different desserts, but I had the Creme Brulle and it was divine very creamy, smooth and the flavour of vanilla coming through with each mouthful. I could have eaten it at least twice over.

   Just had a snack & coffee... But the duck baguette was perfect - crispy, perfectly baked baguette with tasty shredded duck. Mmm... Nice atmosphere, helpful staff, good parking (although with pebbles - not sure if wheelchair-friendly?). My latte was - well, it's on the photo, you decide. :) The only objection - it was a bit cold today, just after opening. But still 5* from me.
