Expensive and the food isn't good. Service was subpar- slow. Had high expectations because we've heard good things. We ordered the most popular items and weren't impressed.

If you're in Tampa you have to have a breakfast or brunch here at-least once. Is not open for dinner. The food , service & atmosphere are exceptional. Very unique& classic menu offerings.

We always love OE but this last time (on a Tuesday at 9:30am), we sat down and it took 25 minutes to get a coffee. Perhaps there should be a seperate coffee bar for the restaurant?? Also, we went for the seasonal pancakes only to find out they only do them on Saturdays and Sundays. However, our meal ended up being delicious so it was fine. We will be back again and again, for sure.

My friend was in town visiting and we decided to go to the Oxford Exchange for brunch since I heard such great things with a 10:30 AM reservation. Although we arrived on time, we weren't seated until 10:42 AM. Once seated, we placed our order at 10:53 AM: the breakfast sandwich, OE breakfast, and French toast. While waiting, we noticed several tables that were seated after us not only had their orders taken quickly but also received their food well before we did. By 11:40 AM—nearly 45 minutes after ordering—we finally received our meals. When we asked our server about the delay, the explanation given was that the kitchen was waiting on the French toast. However, we observed multiple other tables that arrived and ordered after us being served French toast without delay, which made the explanation feel inconsistent and frustrating. Oxford Exchange is known for its atmosphere and aesthetic, which we enjoy, but this particular experience felt disappointing due to the slow service and lack of clear communication. With a little more attention to timing and consistency, the experience could have matched the restaurant's reputation.

Managers are very helpful, but getting our food order (2 apps) delivered to our table was very slow (45 min). Having said that I still highly recommend this busy establishment. The food is very good. Reservations are a must.

Love it here, every time. Whenever they have events, they also do themed cocktails that are phenomenal. Not always someone manning the bar and often have to wait for a bartender, but generally good service.

A great little place to enjoy a champagne moment. Pricey, within Oxford Exchange with its many venues. A good dedicated champagne and nite bite space. Parking is street parking paid by app, which can be challenging at busy times

This is a beautiful place... I think it looks better than the food. But I will definitely still come back and bring friends. Because the experience is definitely worth it for the Tampa area
It's been a while since I've been impressed enough to go out of my way for a review but this place is worth it. Exceptional service, food, experience. The thought and creativity that goes into presentation and every meal is impeccable. I can't wait to go back!

I took my daughter for her birthday, the food was delicious and the service was amazing. I had the salmon eggs Benedict that Matthew recommended it was excellent. Thank you Matthew for being so attentive to your customers.

The service was very slow . My food came before my tea . Took 35 min to get all the hot drinks . Ambience is great very clean . Sadly food was very bad . Is a beautiful place to go for the ambience but not for the food and service . They very careless .

Service was great. Food came out quick. Scrambled eggs were a little runny for my friends tasting so she asked for them to be more scrambled but they made them the same. Felt the prices were high. Very loud environment. Overall it was a good brunch.

I need to start saying that overall, the OE is a great place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Food overall is good. The negatives? An unfriendly young host that did know how to smile and let us waiting more than 15 minutes when I could see that a table on the patio side was available/ready (table we were seated). Wasn't until another, more friendly host that knew what she was doing, asked me if I was waiting that she got us seated. The server we got was awesome and it was not his fault for the long wait for the food and even longer for the cocktails. We will be back hopping to have a better experience.
