Gees Restaurant, Banbury Road, Oxford in Oxford

We went to Gee’s for our anniversary and it was just gorgeous! Beautiful surroundings, lovely staff and delicious flavoursome food thoughtfully presented. Couldn’t fault it, will definitely be back!

Lovely dinner with friends, great atmosphere even with our late seating at 8.45pm. Great food, loved the burrata and croquettes. Staff fab too, very friendly.

Excelente comida y gran servicio por Alex. Merece reconocimiento por su servicio de espera personal. Ojo costilla estaba perfectamente cocinado. Alex incluso nos llamó un taxi! ¡Gracias Alex!

Estábamos visitando Oxford y pensamos que lo intentaríamos no nos decepcionó encantador edificio gran ambiente y comida encantadora perfecta 👍

Me encantaría darle a este restaurante 5 estrellas porque la comida era increíble, algunos de los mejores alimentos que he comido (en particular la berenjena parmagiana) , así que kudos a la cocina. El restaurante en sí era precioso. El vino tinto de la casa era fantástico, sin duda el mejor vino de la casa que he tenido. Desafortunadamente, hubo un problema importante con la factura y la gerente del restaurante (creo que este era su papel) se enojó mucho y básicamente fue acusada de tratar de no pagar. Estuve allí con colegas y dos de nuestros cuatro miembros tuvieron que irse temprano y pagaron por lo que tenían en la caja. El tercer miembro de nuestro partido pagó su comida, dejándome pagar el último. Debía alrededor de £ 50, pero luego se me presentó una factura de alrededor de £ 170. Después de revisar el proyecto de ley punto por punto y pedir a nuestros colegas que enviaran capturas de pantalla de sus recibos, estaba muy claro que se habían tomado pagos, pero algunos artículos no se habían eliminado de la factura. Intentamos explicar esto con pruebas fotográficas de lo que se había pagado, pero en repetidas ocasiones nos dijeron que estábamos equivocados y debíamos 170 libras esterlinas , a pesar de que esto claramente no era cierto. Incluso admitió en un momento que había tomado un pago completo, pero no eliminó ningún artículo, pero aún así no aceptaría que esto significaba que parte de la factura había sido pagada! ¡Nunca antes me habían echado gas por una factura! Ella se volvió tan agresiva y nos estaba gritando tan fuerte a través del restaurante que los otros huéspedes e incluso el personal de la cocina estaban deteniendo lo que estaban haciendo y mirando. Esta es una lección para mí de no pagar la cuenta por separado como nunca más, pero fue una experiencia horrible, confrontativa e innecesaria que podría haberse tratado tranquilamente y con calma. Finalmente se me permitió pagar por lo que había consumido, aunque no sin tener que pedir enérgicamente que me quitaran la propina, lo que también fue un poco una pelea. Por favor, asegúrese de revisar su factura cuando pague!

So disappointed. Restaurant looks great and really loved the decor. Toilets were spotless and smelled nice (always a winner for me). We were the only people eating and the waiter seemed quite disinterested. Starters were pretty ok - actually the octopus was lovely. Husband had fish of the day - monkfish tail. Came plonked on a sauce that was obviously split. Fish was tough. Ordered a side of cavolo nero - smallest portion ever and £6.50! I had steak salad. Was ok but sauce (and c/nero) were so sodden in garlic they were quite overwhelming. Really too much. Husband had 'chocolate nemesis' which was just a wedge of rich chocolate cake with a spoonful of creme fraiche that tasted off. Didnt have alcohol (diet coke, water and one coffee) and the bill was just shy of £120! Dont mind paying that if the food is good but did we complain, No, so our bad. Would I go again....probably not as am sure there are better places to eat in Oxford. Real shame as lovely place.

I gave this 4 star despite not enjoying my meal. We had lunch on Mother's Day and the place was buzzing and vibrant. The building is an old flower shop with glass ceilings so every noise is intensified making it difficult to hear the person opposite you. The service was good and the waiters attentive but it did take a long time to receive our starters. However, they were really tasty and decent portions. I choose the Sunday roast which was lamb but it came smeared with a large dollop of a green splodge which even the waiter didn't know what it was. It turned out to be an Italian type of spinach but it really did spoil the meat for me and I left most of it. Would I visit again? Probably yes but I'd be careful to ask how everything is served.

Very good food in a lovely decorated conservatory just a few meters from central Oxford. Very pleasant walk to the restaurant.

We enjoyed a very good meal in this superb setting. The ambience pervades on arrival, this attractive Victorian glass house with the original floor tiles and welcoming staff is a joy to visit. All personnel are attentive, friendly and efficient and the growing buzz from happy diners surrounds you. We both chose roasted celeriac soup with crispy sage. The quantities were so large that we almost could have shared one bowl but delicious if slightly low on celeriac flavour. I then had a wild mushroom tagliatelle which was heavenly. Again I found it too much but the attractive little box which I was given containing the excess provided me with a small lunch the following day. My daughter had the fish of the day – fillets of halibut which delicately flaked with the fork. We decided to have an affogato each to follow – one with Pedro Ximenez and mine with Courvoisier. Affogato is such a refreshing taste to relish after any meal. Another reason for our visit was that said daughter is to be married next year in this very place so after lunch we were conducted around the wonderful space that only recently has been developed for such occasions by a most informative guide. Both of us hardly can wait for this family wedding in 2024.

We had lunch in the glass house, which has a very distinctive atmosphere. It was quite comfortable despite being a cold, wet day. Considering that the restaurant pitches itself as being somewhat upmarket the food was acceptable rather than outstanding. My wife had the Gees Burger, which had a high meat content but was somewhat dry. I tried the grilled guinea fowl. To be perfectly honest, and perhaps because I am not a foodie, I would have trouble distinguishing this from a grilled butterfly chicken served in Nando's (for half the price). It was bland. However, the wine was not overpriced in relation to the food, and the service was good.
