The Nightbird speakeasy. A hidden (actually) gem in Oxford. We sought out this place while in…read moreOxford and found the hidden door and voila, we were in. I ordered a jungle bird and my wife ordered an espresso martini. This place is super cool, if not just for the fact that it's hidden and you have to find it. The jungle bird was tiki strong and delicious with dark rum as the main. The espresso martini was also awesome flavor and strong. The Nightbird is a cool little hidden gem. Check it out, if you can find your way in.

I ended up ordering the drop biscuits, mini burgers, and caviar tots. It was all 10/10. Our server (I wish I could remember his name... Franko?) was great and he was very attentive.

We came for brunch on a Saturday and ordered three excellent dishes:…read more - Bacon Jam & Calabrian Chili Honey Pizza - Exceptional flavor, crispy, and well balanced - Mountain of Fries - While I'm partial to the thicker variety, these thin fries were top-notch. And it was truly a hulking mountain of fries! - Avocado toast - One of the best we've ever tried So we loved the food and the service was exceptional. And it was also very affordable - before tipping, we paid $61 for a three-person meal (3 entrées, only water). This is the best dining experience we've had in Mississippi so far. Highly recommended!

The food was good quality, well prepared and presented, with traditional flavor profiles. The…read moreservice was horrible (not the wait staff, the management/hostess process). I need to back up and say that our visit was a table for 7 on Spring graduation weekend. Since they do not take reservations, we got in line early for the table and were 3rd in line for the table that would seat our party. The problem came when the first in line decided that they wanted to push their reservation back over an hour, and they let them. Add to that everyone wanted to spend time celebrating so the table turn was not the usual. We were not seated until almost 10:00 PM that night (now you know). The wait staff did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The decor and setting is classy fine dining with dark wood and colorful accent lighting and decorations.

If you find Bar Muse, you've done well…read more Enter a slender doorway just off Van Buren, with the bar's name spelled out in tile... Inside is understated and cozy...nothing fancy. Just a chill atmosphere for some equivalently chill beverages. If you sit at the bar, be prepared to have a friendly chat with proprietor Joe, who also artfully crafted the menu. The offering features generous pours and generous deals at happy hour, which runs 4-6. Cocktails are the star here, although a thoughtful selection of select wine and beer awaits if that's your jam. Tonight, Sip It Trebek caught my eye and I'm glad it did. "What is bourbon with a fig liqueur and some bitters, Alex?" Bar Muse is one of those places you wish was near your home, no matter where home might be. Peace from the pace.

If I could give more stars I totally would! It was the best time! My friend and I were coming from…read moreout of town to go to a concert at the Lyric so we had to find some yummy food beforehand. First off, I love tapas-style restaurants so this peaked my interest right when I saw the menu. There is not a parking lot, but there were some street parking and a lot that you have to pay for. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot close by but a weekend might be a different story. Our waiter was the absolute nicest and he answered any and all questions we had about the menu! For our meal, we ordered crispy Brussels sprouts, Goat cheese and Fig Bruschetta, General Homie's Cauliflower wings, and Beef Empanadas. It was very hard to choose! Everything was full of flavor and really tasty, but if I had to pick one it might have been the Goat cheese and fig Bruschetta and the brussels sprouts are a close second. But all were really good! I order the lady love as my first drink, and I'm not much of a tequila girl, but it was mixed really well and you could taste the strawberry. For my second drink, I asked if the bartender could surprise me with a rum-based drink. When I received it the waiter said you should feel like you were at the beach, and it totally did feel like that! Quite delicious. Wishing this restaurant could move to Memphis because I would go back all the time. If you're in town, definitely check it out, you won't regret it!

Not easy to find. But great experience. Great service and tasty food. Can't wait to go back.read more

Drinks: We decided to purchase a bottle of Prosecco and we asked for all 3 mimosa juice mixers on the side to make our own mimosas. Highly recommend if you're going with friends to make it more cost effective and the drinks more boozy. Ambiance: STUNNING! Cutest decorations. There's outside seating and private rooms that I'd like to utilize next time I go. There was no wait time and it wasn't too loud like other restaurants at breakfast. Service: So kind, attentive, and patient! I'm not from the south but I felt like it was the epitome of southern hospitality. Our server was really great.It was great seeing the hotel and restaurant managers out and about and visible as well. Don't waste your time waiting 2+ hours for other breakfast and brunch restaurants.

The patio overlooking the Square has unbeatable views and scenery. Awesome place for an afternoon cocktail. Negatives - they were out of 3 draft beers. I tried to order the pulled pork sandwich and I was informed they don't make it any more and they were in the process of taking it off the menu. The smash burger I got was a joke (see my pictures). My waitress was nice just not very fast. If you are looking for a cool spot for a drink, this works. If you are looking for more of a culinary experience, go some place on the Square.
