   Fantastic service and a lovely ambience. A good range of quality food selections. It was the attentive and discrete service combined with the setting which made it a very enjoyable experience

   The food was delicious and our server was outstanding. Also really liked the Bloomsbury decor. It’s a bit loud though.

   Afternoon Tea is Expensive comparing to a dinner. Not worth it. Just something you do once on a fancy place and not more.

   Lovely restaurant. Great ambience but very over-priced for the experience. Absolutely love the Firmdale group of hotel restaurants and regularly take friends and clients to them. Today's experience was below par. The food was good. No complaints, but for a price of almost £400 for 4 people, the staff really should not be arguing about where the customer wants to sit, which they did initially. We weren't happy with the table originally allocated to us as it was in the thoroughfare. We were moved to another much better located table, but then after settling down, they tried to move us to yet another table, claiming that our new place had been reserved previously. We weren't happy to move. Eventually, we were 'allowed' to stay where we were but that did cast a shadow on what would have been a great experience.

   Lovely venue, good service and nice food but way too loud for having a meal. The bar area is close to the restaurant and lots of tables of larger parties having a drink, which meant me and my guest spent the whole evening having to shout when talking!

    We have visited many of the restaurants in this chain but have to admit this was not the usual experience, it was very noisy, food wasn’t great and we thought it was expensive for what we ate.

    We have been at Oscar for the first time yesterday for dinner. The place is nice and the people serving are kind, however, the first bottle of wine selected from the menu was not available, the food was ok-ish, not bad - not great. The price for 2 main courses with side dish and one bottle of wine (one of the less expensive ones) was over £110, largely overpaid for the overall quality.

    Too noisy to be able to conduct a pleasant conversation over dinner; the restaurant should be sound-protected from the noisy drinking area. The service was polite but slow, although the Maitre d' did apologise for keeping us waiting for the mains. They had run out of Punt e Mes which appears on the Aperitif Menu.

    Phenomenally expensive for very average, very bland food coming in small portions. I get the impression this is very much a first date sort of venue for an older generation in their mid-40s but I was blown away by the high prices and poor quality. This is as someone who wasn't even paying personally, I was on expenses.

    The steaks were awful and the peppercorn sauce was not made properly. It was a special occasion with my sister and my nephew. And it cost £197 with no alcohol. Outrageous. Will not be returning.

    There was an error on the website (now corrected )That made it look as if Oscar served all day breakfast. They don’t but the manager recognised the error was theirs and very speedily arrange for us to have breakfast at 12:30. She went over and above to make sure that we were happy and we were! would definitely visit again.

    We were in the bar not the restaurant but staff are happy to bring snacks/small plates from restaurant menu to table in bar. Staff are friendly and helpful & the environment is very comfortable and relaxing . One of my favourite venues for drinks with family and friends.

    Food was nice enough but very similar to other hotel and restaurant groups that have a better value for money. For the price of the food and drinks, I would expected a higher level of service - we had to ask to order and ask for the bill even though we were stood near the till where the waitresses were gathering.

    Warm welcoming atmosphere, always feels lively. Service is very professional and we were well looked after. But the food was absolutely delicious! Lobster cocktail starter had loads of lobster meat with avocado and a lovely sauce. We had the Friday special of fish n chips which was excellent.

    We had a fabulous dinner here on Friday night. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was pretty quiet so we had a large table and plenty of space. The wine list was comprehensive and I had the best Old Fashioned I have ever had. I would go back anytime!

    A tale of 2 experiences... Drinks and bar snacks [calamari, smoked anchovies and spiced nuts] were all excellent - tasty, well prepared and nicely presented. Service was a bit hmmm; while items arrived promptly initially, had to flag them down for another round; it was very quiet [only 6 other patrons in bar, no one in restaurant] and staff seemed to spend more time chatting with one another at the till than attending to patrons. Rating: 4 out of 5 When moving from bar to restaurant - a walk of less than 50 steps - things went south very quickly. First off, we were the ONLY patrons in the restaurant at about 19.30. Ordered starters of parsnip & apple soup, veal sweetbreads, mains of a seafood stew and a vegetable timbale and bottle of lambrusco. Lambrusco off, so glass and also bottle of rose. Starters arrived quickly, and soup was good, warm [note: not hot], flavourful and well presented. Not so the sweetbreads; they were a real shame. Breading / cornmeal coating was grainy and gummy with areas of the coating that were uncooked; sauce was cold. We both tried them, and agreed, so plate returned to kitchen with 1 of the 3 untouched. Mains also arrived promptly. Seafood stew and timbale were well presented, but were COLD! Soup just below blood temp, half a bite into timbale it was stone cold. Precisely as if most of the dishes had been prepared and parcooked earlier in day, then [very]briefly reheated and presented on warm plates, without chef checking to ensure they were properly prepared. We informed server, and were assured that the chef would remake them. No joke, less than 2 min later, dishes arrived back at our table on burning hot plates, supposedly 'freshly made'. Not possible, we said. Server insisted that they had been. How they managed to get my fork mark in precise place fork had been when replating was frankly incredible ;-( We refused to accept. Ended up having to dine across the road... Rating: 0 out of 5 for Dinner
