   My wife and I are regulars at Gees and dine there on average 2-3x per month both at lunch and dinner. The food is carefully prepared and I don’t recall ever being disappointed by a meal there. The menu offers a range of seafood and meat choices as main courses and the starter and dessert options we have found to be uniformly of a high standard. The service is friendly and efficient and an effort is always made to accommodate table preference. We dined there last night and despite the pandemic the restaurant was quite full. I ordered the Octopus and Lentil Salad as a starter followed by the Guinea Fowl accompanied by succulent Rainbow Carrots. I finished the meal with a Sticky Toffee Pudding which was superb. We ordered a carafe of the House Red wine, a flavorful Languedoc. .All choices were delicious and rank among the best selections on a menu that combines variety with a very high culinary standard. Due to the high ceilings and ample space the noise level is always in our experience under control. We will continue going to Gees’s on a regular basis and recommend it to anyone looking for a quality dining experience in Oxford. CS Farr

   The staff were fantastic, and gave us loads of info about the changes taking place over the next few months . Food was really good - the latest menu with fish stew and the breaded artichoke is superb. Cocktails were well made. Winelist is short but good going by the the glass is good value- picpaol went very well with the monkfish Will have to cope with quod and parsonage for a few months 🤣

   Thank you Simon for leaving us this five star review, we shall make sure there are more wines for you to choose from when we reopen. We look forward to welcoming you back in May.

   This unusually set restaurant (I believe it was originally a Victorian green grocers) is almost like sitting in Kew Gardens conservatory. The service and food is second to none. My daughter moved to Oxford 14 months ago and once we could visit we booked to come to this highly recommended restaurant. This was our 3rd visit & every thing was as we remembered I do think the cocktails are very highly priced but they are delicious. Try the Elderflower spritz or spiced peach mojito just sublime I had scallops to start and the portion was large & the sauce left me wanting to lick the plate. I opted for cheeseburger for my main and this was fabulous too. Chips were a little well done. Daughter had the seafood linguine which was packed with fish not like a usual “hunt the fish amongst the pasta” dish and said was very good Husband had the fish stew & said it was fabulous. I had mentioned it was a birthday meal & they brought out a sweet lighted candle in ice cream to mark the event. They are closing for renovation. I hope they don’t lose the ambience in making this fabulous place larger. I wished I lived nearer.

We are so happy to read that you have enjoyed your food, but disappointed to read you couldn't enjoy the lively atmosphere that characterises Gees. Being a Grade II listed building, there is little intervention we are allowed to implement. However, on your next visit we shall endeavour to offer you a more private table. We hope to welcome you to Gees again soon.

    I had such a lovely lunch here today. The staff literally couldn’t do enough for us, I came in with my baby in a pram and she’d lost a shoe on the way in, the manager went out down the street to look for it and found it for us! The waitress was also very friendly and accommodating and I felt very welcome all round, even with the baby and pram in tow. Food was delicious and the setting in the glasshouse is very calm and pretty, with plants all around. It’s not often you find a classy restaurant that is so accommodating towards babies, so I can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Gees!

    Lovely setting and friendly staff. On the whole food was very good - although tiramisu was a little disappointing- mainly cream with little substance. Prices are high - our burger and chips was the only main less than £20 and most were nearer £30. Overall an enjoyable experience.

    GeesResponded on 31 January 2022

    Thank you Adrian for your review, I am so sorry the tiramisu wasn't up to our usual standard. With regards to our pricing, the costs of food and beverages has increased significantly recently. We still believe in offering the best ingredients available and wouldn't want to compromise on this. We also have on our menu a risotto, burrata salad, celeriac steak, avocado salad under £17. We also have our express menu available Monday to Friday 12-5pm which offers 3 courses for £22 and 2 for £18.
