Maybe it's down to the chef or staff - someone needs to get their hands on a copy of the rota in advance of booking!Floopienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011458761860324642.post-55821670502451239232012-01-31T15:46:55.820+00:002012-01-31T15:46:55.820+00:00I can solve this mystery by reporting that I'v...I can solve this mystery by reporting that I've been there on both a lovely, wonderful evening, followed by two very poor ones. I think it's a question of picking your timing and knowing what to order, but the difference in enjoyment between my various experiences was admittedly bizarre.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128622405620589138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011458761860324642.post-52966667299675877712012-01-23T10:53:45.682+00:002012-01-23T10:53:45.682+00:00Thanks for all the comments!

I'm sure they really can get it right, or they wouldn't be so popular. I probably will return in the future to try and catch them on a good day, but for now I'll carry on trying other places :)Kate Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993997618267566916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011458761860324642.post-56327339674608436102012-01-19T09:44:53.594+00:002012-01-19T09:44:53.594+00:00Quite surprised to read this review Kate.

Once you've eaten your way round Oxford, please give it another go !<br />Loving the blog though ;)Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011458761860324642.post-38068647719666037872012-01-19T03:16:20.528+00:002012-01-19T03:16:20.528+00:00That's so frustrating to have an off day exper...That's so frustrating to have an off day experience at a place that's supposed to be fantastic.

Odd! I know that Asian restaurants quite often have long menus and manage fine, but with all that choice maybe they're trying to do much much.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03361294574408899743noreply@blogger.com
