"Top notch bistro in Cambridge, just a few minutes' walk from the centre. Excellent food, well-presented and perfectly cooked. This is one of the few places we've been to where choosing from the menu was quite a dilemma! If we were local, we'd be back to try different dishes. There's also an excellent wine list which has many and varied wines that are reasonably-priced. I also like that they had a decent dessert wine selection with recommended pairings for each of their desserts. All-in-all, excellent food, first-class service from James, and great value considering the quality. Highly recommended."

First time stay in Cambridge and discovered this GEM of a restaurant. Food and wine excellent and staff/service was first class. So friendly and they create a great atmosphere. Would fully recommend and would visit again if return. Well done!

Quick last minute decision to go to town and we found a table at The Oak. Nice abbreviated wine list. Tasty corn chowder. I had a very upscale French Dip sandwich on a crusty panini ? ciabatta). The scallops were beautiful and enjoyed by others in our party. I had a bite of the confit duck which was nice and crispy and flavorful. The last person in our group very much enjoyed the gnocchi and stole a few mushrooms and truffle slices.... yum
