Just enjoyed a really great dinner at The Oxley. We live in the area and have been looking for a good pub/place for really good burgers, steak and fries. Last week at "One" (Hazelton hotel) the waiter recommended The Oxley across the street: he said that people working at nearby restaurants gravitate there after work. It is a real find- the staff was not overly familiar or cloying but they all seemed genuinely interested in making sure both the service and the meal was to our satisfaction. I had the dry aged burger and the chips, my husband the T-bone special and chips. The fries were fresh and hot, from real potatoes, the steak and burger perfectly cooked (rare and medium rare respectively). The burger came with bacon and Stilton or aged Cheddar, and a tasty tomato chutney. I like the burgers at both Allen's and Marben - this one was every bit as juicy and well-seasoned.
We will most definitely be back to try more of the menu, which includes the expected pub dishes like fish and chips but also items like shoulder of lamb and fish pie.
Our only suggestion is better signage - although the patio was packed, being a warm TO evening- the interior of this new addition to the Yorkville restaurant deserves to be packed as well.
