Disappointing. We drove in from St. Louis excited to celebrate our child’s birthday. The server made it clear she was not happy, actually commented back and forth because there is no happy hour, but we gave our efforts to make the best of it. Sadly- No water refills ever. No check on if we liked our food ever - it was basic. No ask if we wanted dessert (repeat 10 year old birthday). We ordered 2 margaritas. When it was time to leave we were taking food and chips. I asked for 2 cups from the bar because our waitress was rarely visible. I intended it for the salsa and cheese dip to go with our chips, to which the waitress came up and told me I couldn’t have because we had alcohol at our table. Fine, we get it. We then go to leave, with most of our margaritas still in their glasses on our table, and our kids carrying out their lemonade only. To our surprise, our server rushed to the front end manager to say we are taking our margarita. He came out of the restaurant to confront us in front of our 10, 9 and 3 year old. Really!!???? Look at our table and you will see we aren’t smuggling margarita out of this restaurant- the glasses are still over half full! Actually sad this is what we were excited for and experienced on my child’s birthday and our return to Oxford. Never ever will return.

I had a Taco Bar catered for 20 people! Food was great, portions were beyond generous! I changed the pick up time 3 times and they didn’t miss a beat. They were awesome to work with. I would definitely use them again.
