Superb meal
Excellent in every way, very efficient staff and truly superb meal , drinks prices for bottles of beer were on on the high side, but perhaps to be expected for the location? However all very good.

A totally wonderful experience
After waiting 18 months to enjoy this experience I have to say it was most worth it. What a beautiful place, gorgeous setting on the Thames with the most attentive staff. The food was out of this world. Thoroughly enjoyed by both my husband and me. Will definitely go back.

Exquisite meal
We had the most delicious meal at the Folly : 3 courses and overlooking the river. Food was incredibly presented and the service was excellent. A truly wonderful wedding gift.

Definitely worth the trip to Oxford!
This Folly Restaurant Riverside meal experience was absolutely worth the trip to Oxford just for this superb setting (on an island in the Thames (Isis)) and the rather excellent meals! Staff were great, the choice excellent along with the three courses....really very good throughout.

Delicious food and a lovely ambience
So happy that the voucher was dealt with subtly as we arrived rather than undue attention drawn to it when it came to the bill!! There were lots of menu options and some carried a surcharge but we managed to opt for some delicious food within the remit of the voucher. The arancini and pork belly were standout. Service was great and we’d definitely go back.

Miss
The service was excellent from the start, we were informed of what we can have on the menu, and the specials. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere & décor relaxing & pretty. My only negative is that there was extra charges for certain menu choices. You expect it for steak, but it was for the Duck, and one of the starters, plus a service charge of 12.5%. Maybe Virgin could try to cover the extra menu charges? Would definitely go back, and recommend the Folly. Good experience

Romantic dinner by the river
On arrival we were met with a nice welcome and we’re offered inside or outside seating. The meal was excellent and the quality of the food was a very high standard. It’s such a shame that the plates were chipped. The waiter had no socks on. There was no salt and pepper no napkins no candles. When offered a candle the table next door asked for one and the waiter tutted and rolled his eyes. We were not offered any coffee and there’s no cheese board on offer. Not worth it !!!!!

Nothing Special
The Folly was positioned next to the Thames but where we where seated you couldn’t see the river so our river side dining experience didn’t really happen. Service was good. Food wasn’t outstanding. The only thing I wanted to eat you had to pay a £10 supplement for. What’s the point of the voucher then? Not worth the money!

Some good, some bad
A pity some items were excluded from the menu. Not an incredible disadvantage - it just seemed unnecessary and reminded us we were only 'allowed' certain items. The voucher did not include tea/coffee either which, as this is the least cost item, seemed a pity too. Now to the food. Starter: couldn't taste the goat's cheese or pepper Main course: fish very smelly - fish are not supposed to smell. Off? Dessert: Fantastic Water: NOT ice cold. No lemon or ice Waitress: very helpful/polite

nice meal
just back from the folly where my wife was given the wrong meal she decided to eat it anyway we only received one glass of wine and no alternative and there were restrictions on what we could have from the menu we could have the other meals but we would have to pay a supplement. it felt like we were'nt really wanted because we were voucher holders

Set Meal at The Folly in Oxford
This restaurant is in a great location, has a broad and interesting menu and the food we enjoyed was excellent. The restaurant was great but we both felt that as we dined using a voucher (and announced ourselves as such), our menu choices were limited and we were treated subtly differently to other diners. If we took the trouble we could probably have eaten a la carte without the voucher for pretty much the same price. Decide for yourself.

Riverside Three Course Meal with Wine for Two in Oxford
When I tried to book it, I was told by the restaurant that this voucher can't be used on the weekends, however it doesn't mention that on the webpage or as a warning before paying for the experience (it also isn't mentioned in any small print). It costs more to get the voucher than if you just went to the restaurant and paid for the set three course menu. There are sur charges on all the slightly more expensive items on the menu, and so unless you chose the one most expensive option (without a surcharge) for each course, then it will cost you more. It made it a very unpleasant experience and we felt a little scammed. The restaurant itself was nice, but in no way worth the money charged.
