Amazing food, even to me as someone who isn't a huge fan of the tasting menu style, is to be expected with the reputation. However the service and warm welcome last December for a group of around 20 people from the team (especially a Polish lady whose name I forget sadly) was incredible.Dietary restrictions: I have never been to a restaurant which did as good as job at accommodating, and communicating about, a long list of restrictions! Thank you.

Calm, peaceful, wonderful explanation of exquisite food and drink from start to finish. Went on recommendation and would go on yo recommend to any and every future diner looking for a personal, caring, but not obtrusive dining experience with a vast variety of carefully curated local produce and matched

Exceptional night dining on a reccomendation, and exemplary service and food. You cannot go wrong here, showcasing the very best of what Northern Ireland has to offer. James was a standout during our time and helped make it the experience it was. Cannot recommend enough and will be talking about it to everyone I come across.

Very poor experience. My email of complaint, to which I received no response, summed it up:‘I am writing to express my disappointment at last night’s experience at your restaurant.From the moment we arrived, when I was interrogated by the receptionist as to why there were only two of us in our party - not four (a genuine error when booking) - which involved me being invited to look at the screen at reception desk, we felt we were dealt with in a peremptory manner.Once seated, we were offered a drink which arrived promptly; before we were finished we had a wine poured and our hors d’oeuvres were put in front of us. This was followed by a further glass of wine being poured before we had had a chance to finish this appetiser course - we had three drinks on the table at this point.I say ‘glass’ of wine, as it was barely a sample measure - as it was throughout the supposed pairing.One course arrived virtually on top of the next, and we felt that we were being rushed through - until the final two dessert courses which took 45 mins.We did mention our disappointment to the manager on the night, and he did offer us a free cocktail - as some form of compensation presumably - but when paying £365 for both the food and experience this was inadequate.As this was my wife’s birthday dinner, this was particularly disappointing.’Anyway; we had been to Blank on the Malone Road in January - much superior experience (food, wine pairing, service) all round for a very similar price.

Wonderful service from OX team, and food was very good! Highly recommend.

As per usual the food and service was good though I have had better tasting menus in here before. - Unfortunately the wine paring was way of par. to many below average wines from Eastern Europe, which has left us with a sour taste in our mouth, excuse the pun ?

Expectations were high before coming to OX. Obviously with it being a Michelin star restaurant we were expecting exceptional food, wines and service. The team at OX did not disappoint.
John Wayne
Fantastic food, service, atmosphere, attention to detail and general flow of the evening.One of the top spots to dine in
Phil Robinson
Fantastic tasting menu, original and different whilst still being focussed on the food. Service and atmosphere
This was an great experience.The food was beautiful. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was great. Dont go there to be fed, go there to learn and taste delicious food... I was a small bit hungry and the end but I really enjoyed the experience..

I have been to several Michelin star restaurants, but I have to say this is up there with the best I have been to. The attention to detail from the waiters to the chefs was outstanding. They all made us feel comfortable, relaxed and had fun! Wine pairing is a must! Thank you for being the highlight of our day!

In all honesty the atmosphere and services was absolutely perfect. We started on the bad foot as our sourdough bread was not baked enough. It was wet, sticky on the inside and burnt on outside. We have the 6 course paired with alcohol and a non alcoholic wine. The non alcoholic was a hit and miss but I am giving them the credit for trying.The food was well presented but the taste was not up there with rest of star restaurants we have visited . We will never go back and as far as we are concerned it was not worth the trip . Disappointed really .
