I worked here for two years The cleanest kitchen I have ever worked in. The food always amazing and the owners always made me feel like family. My personal favorite is the salad w the tuna. Definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Nice restaurant and bar, very casual with good food and drink. Place is laid out well with lots of space and never any over crowded.

First time to this location and it was fabulous. Our server, Taylor R. was very fun and energetic. She was very attentive and service was quick! We never found ourselves waiting long for drinks, food, etc. We truly enjoyed her, she was so fun to talk with! Would love to have her on our next visit :) The atmosphere is wonderful and we very much enjoyed our food! Deffo recommend the beef tips, buffalo bomb wrap and the duck. Whoever the bartender was that night, they did an amazing job with our mixed drinks! I truly have nothing negative to say about this place. We will be back soon. read more

Very consistent great restaurant. Whenever we don't know where to go we come here. It never fails. Food and wine is fairly priced I think. Food is good and consistent. Service can be better when there's a lot of people but otherwise they are great and very friendly. read more

This place is very clean and all the staff wear masks. Such delicious food here can't order anything that doesn't taste good! Very friendly staff and accommodating seating. read more

Well ANOTHER DELICIOUS Night of Food. Met a friend who had never been there. SDT will now have yet another faithful customer. The Food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. The Service-PERFECT (Not too much, not too little). Ambience just so warm, comfortable and classy. We had the Bang-Bang Shrimp, Brussel Sprouts, Crab Taters & Pierogies. All prepared perfectly and delicious. I thought for sure the Brussel Sprouts would be too hard and like rocks (NEVER ENJOYED THEM IN ANY RESTAURANT) but NOPE .. I was wrong. They were delicious. Thank You to SDT to creating such an enjoyable night. read more

This restaurant is one three, and is the newest. I've been to the one in Stratford (which I have already reviewed), and wanted to see what the newest store in the family looked like. Walking in, I noticed the large outdoor dining area, which wasn't in use when I visited since it was rainy and cold. Inside, I was greeted by smiling (I think--it was hard to tell since they were wearing masks) servers. I asked to sit at the bar, since I was alone, and they found me a spot separated by two seats from anyone else. A masked bartender took my order (I assume with a smile) and it was delivered quickly. This is, by far, much larger and nicer than the Stratford store, but at the cost of having the look and feel of many other restaurants located inside a shopping area. Still, it's someplace I will return to. I love the duck wings! As a note, the menu is disappointingly light on chicken options, which is my primary choice from any restaurant. I hope that this was a seasonal aberration, and I'll see more in the future. read more

Food only had burgers very messy when served . Service slow . Ambiance fair but loud . read more

Food was good - - service was super slow. It took 27 minutes to get two cups of hot tea and an iced tea. Won't be going back. I could boil water faster by rubbing two sticks together in a rainy jungle full of mud and moss while sitting in the Rio Grande. read more

Love them! I always get the stir fry and the roasted Brussel sprouts and they are both excellent. The atomosphere in the place is fun and the outdoor space is nice too. read more

Party if 6. They have quite a few tables outdoors as well as two sections that have garage type doors that were open so you had the AC but also the feel of being outside. High ceilings inside and a nice vibe. Service was great and so was the food. I had the simple salad with chicken which was pretty big and tasty. Everyone else had sandwiches/fries or grilled cheese/soup. We all left happy and full. read more

The food here is great! We left absolutely stuffed and happy :) They have plenty of options and we are were very impressed with our service. We will definitely be back! read more

Had the most delicious meal of sesame crusted yellow fin tuna with lobster cream sauce, broccoli and jasmine rice. The sauce was so tasty and the tuna so fresh. The sitting Duck never disappoints. read more

Found this place tucked in a beautiful plaza. Very cute inside, dim lighting, nice staff. For starters I had the onion soup, I'll give that a 6 & I ordered the buffalo wings with fries, I know, pretty simple but they were really good! Def fresh, the seasoning was on point and I was full after 4 wings. Will be back! read more

First came in for dessert on Valentines Day, but were super excited for a chance to come back for a full dinner. The decor is very cool and fitting with the area, but can't wait to see how they are going to incorporate all of the garage doors in the warmer months. We showed up on a Friday night and even with the coronavirus scare it was packed, but we only had to wait ten minutes. Once we got to the table our waitress had actually remembered us from when we'd come in a month prior which was nice. My wife ordered some sort of sangria and I got a beer, but both of us were hemming and hawing over which of the many interesting options we wanted. My coworkers girlfriend works at the Stratford location and told us we had to order the beef tips which we did - loved them and the dipping sauce. We also ordered the periogies and fish and chips and just split it all as our meal, but there were so many other things we'd wanted to try. Everything turned out to be tasty and we will certainly be coming back in the future. read more

We have ordered take out and recently dined in. Fantastic!!! Everything we have tried is delicious. My husband is a picky eater and he absolutely loves the food here. Staff is always pleasant and professional. Our waitress was Taylor when we dined in and she is the best!! A coworker had recommended the beef tips to me about 5 years ago. Every time I eat here I always order this as a starter to share. Twice I have ordered the goat cheese salad, once with the beef tips and once with grilled chicken, both taste delicious in this salad. I look forward to going back soon. read more

I've been here a few times. A large and varied menu. Love the small plates, especially the Bang Bang Shrimp. Still so many things I'm dying to try. Looking forward to going back read more

We get take out and eat here frequently and it's always been good, except today. Fish & chips were lukewarm warm, Cobb salad didn't have Bleu Cheese dressing, the sandwich didn't have any Avacado or aoli and the pretzels didn't come with sauces! Everything was messed up. Not happy at all. Also the tartar sauce was dated 11/3. It's 11/19. That's a little too old for my taste. read more

I came here to celebrate my daughters 16th birthday with family in August. There were 10 us in the party. I had called earlier in the week to make a reservation, but they don't take reservations for parties less then 20 which would be the only downside to this place. The hostess told us we should come on the earlier side to ensure we got a table without a wait. When we arrived they set a table up pretty quick for us. We ordered a couple apps for the table calamari, burrata, truffle fries and bang bang shrimp which was everyone favorite. For entrees we had a good mix burgers, chicken sandwich, Mac n cheese, salad, beef tip dinner. Everything was delicious. They have a great drink menu between all of us we tried many of the drinks and no one had a complaint. The food and drinks were good and prices are good as well. We will definitely be back read more

The salmon piccata was excellent perfectly done!!! The mashed potatoes and spinach were equally as good. read more

Great vibe for happy hour. Loved the cocktail menu and apps! New fav TGIF spot. Get there early or sit at the bar.

On a Thursday we had a 30 minute wait at 6:30. That's not a complaint at all. We got a table and Bri (Brianna) was our server. She was great! Very helpful with recommendations for apps and meals. Both of which she did not lead us astray. We did the Brussel sprout which were amazing and the pierogis which are rarely an app on any menu, nice change and very good. The beef tips and fries, were delicious! I have no complaints. No choice on the cook but just go with it cause it's tender and juicy! Great flavor. Boyfriend did the steak burrito bowl, he wasn't impressed but Bri quickly rectified the situation. Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to visiting again. Thank you Bri for your help and expertise. Looking forward to another great meal read more

Nice place, a step up from other local places. It's new so I think they are still working things out.. It was loud w construction noise. I had the steak tips, nobody asked how I wanted them prepared, but I gotta admit they were done perfectly, although they were a little saucy... my drink was delicious, however it was cleared before I was done drinking it LOL. I think the sever was just trying to be over attentive. All in all. Very good food, friendly staff. I hope they do well. read more

Had the worst service tonight. We've been here many times and have been very happy so I'm hoping this was not normal but once we placed our order our waiter disappeared. Another waitress noticed and helped but it was really terrible service. We had to chase her down and then we were given attitude. read more

Absolutely horrible!!! called in my order at 5:11pm and was told 20-25 minutes. Got there at 5:45 and was told they didn't have an order for me. After she asked around the girl who took the order never submitted it. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. 30 minutes later, still no food. I will never come back and neither should you. The food isn't even that good let alone an hour wait for it read more

What a wonder experience and meal we had for my daughter's 15 birthday. Food was great and service was top notch. Our server Kelsey was very prompt and friendly. We will be back soon. read more

The food was so delicious. The Crispy Brussel sprouts were amazing! The waitress, Kaitlyn, and the management were amazing and so helpful.

I went in for apps. Fortunately, I didn't want dinner because the apps were huge and delicious. I ate way more than I expected to. Have the duck, the pierogies, and anything else that tickles your fancy. It's all delicious. read more

This place never misses! With the amazing food, service, and ambience you can't go wrong! I would suggest the milanese ciabatta or the warm goat salad but everything tastes great! read more

One of my favorite spots in Oxford. Favorite thing to get is the warm goat cheese salad with chicken

Beef loin too may have not been the greatest, pretty subpar to be honest. However the fries were amazing , great service & wonderful atmosphere makes up for it. The owner also cared to reach out after seeing my review & cared to make things better. read more

Owner kicks you out when he thinks you've been there too long. Even though your buying appetizers, entrees and drinks. Kinda sucks when you only see your friend once a week and just wanna catch up. Thank you read more

Delicious! We ordered takeout and it was a busy night but food was made on time. We ordered burgers and salads. The salads were fresh. The burgers were packed well and still warm when we got it home. Will definitely be going back. read more

Portion size to price, this place is horrible, it's not worth the money! I've been here several times since they opened in Oxford. I have no complaints with the quality of the food, it's delicious! It's the portion that I consistently receive with takeout that will keep me away. read more

I've been there before and enjoyed, but not as much tonight. Went there to celebrate my birthday and was really looking forward to the lobster BLT. Apparently there is a lobster shortage, so I couldn't have that. I ordered a couple small plates instead. I love brussels sprouts, have had them there before, but this time most of what I got were just the loose leaves, charred. Husband's fish and chips kind of soggy. read more

Today is Sunday and they shut down take out orders. I couldn't order from uber eats. I called and they said they aren't doing anymore take out. These restaurants needed us during covid, but not anymore. I've never heard of a place shutting down take out service. Truly pathetic on everyone there. They lost me for good. I hate franchise places cause they don't care about their customers. read more
