Reviews for Oxford 152
Bryan Schriiffer
Went to trivia fist time since the revamp, we have been regulars at trivia for over a year.my summary so far 152 got our booking wrong and put it under someone else's name. the bowls of chips when it arrived are slim on chips and no sauce, the food was cold by the time the tom sauce arrived. One of our party sent her meal back the food was undercooked and cold. the music is loud, the trivia presenter has no mic. My feed back to 152 I thought the aim of a pub was to provide great service, good food at reasonable prices and an inviting atmosphere tonight you failed on all 3.

Had dinner here tonight. Was probably the worst meal I’ve had there. Hasselback potato was practically raw. The steak was no where near a wagyu, it was gristly & overcooked and dry. The grilled broccolini had zero grill marks & would be best described as raw. The kofta was extremely salty. My partners meal was salty & bland. The mere hint of tomato on the parmi was certainly lacking. It’s my local, but I’ll never eat here again

Always take my mother here for her birthday and she always has a wonderful time, she grew up in the area and has seen it change so much, food is always so good and cooked perfectly.. absolutely delicious! Cocktails are reasonably priced and also very delicious! A very big thank you to all the waiters and the chefs, you should all be very proud of yourselves for all the hard work and effort you put into making your guests have and amazing experience at your establishment

Overview The Oxford 152 is a popular pub bistro in the heart of the Bulimba dining and entertainment hub, on the corner of Oxford and Wambool Streets. Food My wife and I dined, and we kept it simple, ordering a chicken supreme with a side of fried onions rings, and a poke bowl. Wow, this food was sensational. The chicken was tasty, plumb and tender and cooked to perfection. It was accompanied by an interesting and varied selection of sides including sundried tomatoes, camembert cheese, chat potatoes, fresh broccolini, with the whole dish drenched in a creamy lemon thyme sauce. The poke bowl was a winner too. It was chock full of wholesome and nutritious ingredients, including rice, carrots, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, sprouts, spinach, pickle ginger, sesame seeds and mayo. The onion rings were nice and crispy on the outside. Serving sizes were generous. For our liquid refreshment, I ordered the beer special of the night, which was a schooner of Hahn Super Dry, and my wife ordered her favourite pina colada, which was a bit of a disappointment, as it was only half full. Service The staff at the Oxford 152 are a credit to the ALH Hotels Group, to which this venue belongs. They were smartly dressed, professional in their attitude and provided excellent service. We were warmly greeted by the friendly maître d when we arrived, and our booked table was ready for us in a nice spot against the back wall. Despite the crowds, the drinks and food were delivered quickly, and all staff members including the security guy at the front door, were helpful, polite, and patient. Ambience We dined on a Saturday night in early January, and the place was pretty full, giving it a fun, lively, and energetic vibe. There are multiple dining areas, inside and outside. It’s bright and well lit, with an airy, spacious and comfortable ambience. However, we were placed next to a rather loud and inconsiderate family table, which made it a bit noisy, but I guess that this is to be expected on a Saturday night during the holiday season. Cost After our Monty’s Rewards Club discount of 5%, and the 1.5% “card processing fee”, we paid a touch under 80, and that included two beers, a cocktail, two main dishes and one side dish. That’s not bad value for money in this era of hyperinflation, given the extremely high quality of the food, outstanding service and pleasant ambience. Toilets The venue has clean and well maintained toilets just in front of the gaming lounge, with ample male and female cubicles. Parking Being a busy Saturday night we struggled a bit to find parking. After driving around for a while, we eventually found a spot about half way up Wambool Street, a rather steep street, so it was quite a hike on a full stomach afterwards. It would be useful if the venue put up some parking info for first time visitors, on its website. Summary Overall, we had a fabulous night at the Oxford 152, and everything ran smoothly for us. The food was outstanding, the service was fast, friendly, and polite, and we loved the cool, relaxed, and casual atmosphere. We would definitely consider returning to this venue in the future.

03.08.2022 Good atmosphere and yummy food. Came for lunch, not too busy. Staff friendly and approachable. We'll presented food. Children's nuggets and chips was a large portion! Plenty of seating, toilets were clean and tidy. Would return.
