Went to the Farmers Market and decided to sit down and have a nice meal. They had a guy playing live music. Keyboard and vocals that were really good! It wasn't too loud, which was nice. Service was good. The food was great, as was the drinks. My daughter got a mixed drink that was beautiful and tasty! I can't remember which one. It had blackerries.. mint.. and a little powdered sugar. Dangerous is what it should be called, because tastes like fruit juice... You can't taste the vodka... I'd go back for sure!

My husband took me here for my birthday and the food, our server, the atmosphere and the music was so perfect. Our appetizer was the lamb flatbread very tasty. I had the Beef Wellington alongside creamy mashed potatoes with zucchini perfect. The meat just melts in your mouth. My husband had the grilled rack lamb with risotto a side of french fries. The drink I had was gin and Rose very beautiful and strong. Received a delightful complimentary birthday cheesecake delicious. Our server Michael did an outstanding job.

The food was decent but did not match the price. I did get the fish and chips, and it was good my app, the crab cakes were average. My biggest complaint was the temperature where we were at my whole party felt it was way too hot. We were all sweating and fanning ourselves. Would like to say I would come back but probably won't.

We weren’t sure if The Oxford would be appropriate to bring a baby to, but it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Our server Bhanu was so kind and helpful with our little one, and made sure we were always comfortable and had what we needed. The food was excellent, everything came quickly, and the cocktails were really great. Thanks to all for making us feel welcome.

Introduction:
I recently visited The Oxford in Lodi, California, a British-themed restaurant known for bringing a taste of Britain to the U.S. They offer a variety of traditional dishes such as fish and chips, beef wellington, and more. I've been a regular visitor for about two years and here's my detailed review.

Atmosphere:
The Oxford boasts an upscale, well-lit atmosphere with shimmering lights that create a high-end dining experience. The bar, situated at the front right as you walk in, adds to the vibrant ambiance with a pleasant hum of activity. The restaurant features spacious booths that can comfortably seat up to six people, ensuring a comfortable dining experience. They are also highly accommodating for individuals with disabilities and service animals. The restaurant's front and side walls are glass, providing a scenic view of Lodi's historic buildings.

Value for Money:
The Oxford offers excellent value for the price, delivering high-end food at a fraction of the cost. Whether you're there for lunch or dinner, the welcoming atmosphere and quality of food make it worth every penny.

Food Quality:
I usually order the fish and chips for lunch, paired with a Pepsi or butternut squash soup. The fish is always flaky and well-battered, though the thick British-style fries are not my personal favorite. Their canned Coke is a nice touch, offering a better taste than typical machine-dispensed drinks. The bar offers a decent selection of drinks, including good mimosas.

Favorite Dishes:
Desserts: Their desserts, especially the signature panna cotta, are phenomenal. They frequently update their dessert menu with items like chocolate mousse cakes and fudge cakes, all of which are excellent.
Beef Wellington: The beef Wellington is a standout, featuring a delicate and flavorful preparation.
Appetizers: The calamari, with its flat breading, and the grilled octopus are both delicious. The scotch eggs are another highlight, perfectly crispy with a flavorful lamb crust.
Other Dishes: While their chicken tikka masala is popular with my fiancé, I find it less appealing. However, their salads and raviolis are consistently good.

Service:
The service at The Oxford is exceptional. The staff is attentive, frequently checking to ensure that drinks are topped off and food is to your liking. They are always friendly, welcoming, and open to feedback. Even during busy times like Mother's Day, when special menu items are offered, the service remains top-notch.

Recommendation:
While I wouldn't recommend the steak, as it lacks flavor and is not up to the standard of other items on the menu, every other dish I've tried has been amazing. I visit The Oxford two to three times a week and highly recommend it to anyone in the Lodi area looking for a great dining experience.

I hope this helps!
