Malmaison Brasserie Oxford

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Open Table, but the restaurant informed me only a couple of days beforehand that they had overbooked due to their outdated system.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 dinner was amazing, very delicious. However, the breakfast food was tasty, but there were issues with the service, ordering, and getting our food.

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. However, the steak frites main course was mediocre, especially considering the price of £21. The steak was not trimmed properly, leaving a significant amount of fat. The service was disappointingly slow, and overall, the main courses were overpriced ranging from £18-£30. While the setting was lovely, I felt that the value for money was lacking. As a fan of fine dining, I am willing to pay for quality, but in this case, I was left feeling disappointed. I don't think I would return to Malmaison, as there are other restaurants in Oxford that offer better value.

It wasn't open. 6 of us came and there was a closed sign and no explanation. imperfect

They didn't know we had a reservation. they said they didn't accept it on the internet and we did it. they had no dinner menu for dinner. so we couldn't eat and had to find another place.
