I chose to dine at Malmaison based on the positive reviews, and I was impressed by the unique and charming setting. The goat cheese starter was beautifully presented and delicious.

Do not book this through Open table! The bar (apparently) does not accept bookings through this app so my girlfriend and I turned up to celebrate her birthday having made a booking in plenty of time only to be turned away as the bar was booked for a private function. The bar are aware of this yet do not seem to have made an effort to rectify the situation. Fortunately we were able to get a table at another wine bar in Oxford which was lovely but 1855 very nearly ruined our night.
I made a reservation for Mother's Day through Open Table, but the restaurant informed me only a couple of days beforehand that they had overbooked due to their outdated system. I was not impressed with this situation.
The 1855 was closed due to a burst pipe and didn’t even let us know, so a wasted journey to Oxford. I have emailed them about a voucher we were using.. but still no response!

very beautiful weeping. beautiful selection of wine on glass. food options limited, but very good. service is friendly and atmosphere is relaxed, ambiente is cozy.
The dinner was amazing, very delicious. However, the breakfast food was tasty, but there were issues with the service, ordering, and getting our food.
Very nice food was good, wine is a bit expensive we had a groupon voucher which was very good and the staff were great.
Loved the cheese and meat platter. Great place, lovely, knowledgeable staff. Fab wine choice and a lovely setting.

Nice wine bar. Victuals are pricey and small portions, really just a tasting menu to accompany the wine.
it wasn't open. 6 of us came and there was a closed sign and no explanation. imperfect
