We went here for an evening meal on the recommendation of my brother. What an excellent place for a meal, friendly staff, welcoming and lovely atmosphere in the restaurant.The tapas selection was very good with lots of options available. The quality of the food was excellent, it also came out at a decent speed meaning we were never short of food on the table.We also had desserts which were also extremely good, in fact I would say the desserts were even better than the mains; but it was all excellent.Based on this experience I would totally recommend a visit. If in the area I would certainly go again!

Outstanding experience, well done The Oak Room.Having been away for 10 days this was the best meal of all. Simply stunning. Great choice, great service, great wine choice, great prices!! A simple menu that covers all the bases. A brilliant meal to finish our trip away. Thank you for fitting us in at short notice.

Really disappointed with this place. We had a reservation for 6 people at 6pm. We had been in the village since the morning and only stayed around to wait for our reservation here. At 6pm, we go in and they say they don’t accept dogs. We said that we saw on the website that they did. They said, “only at lunch time we accept dogs, is there anywhere you can leave him?” How does this make sense? Why would they accept dogs at lunch and not 6pm? And who would suggest we leave him somewhere when we drove all the way from Bristol?Very disappointing!*UPDATE AFTER RESPONSE BELOW*Google reviews exist so people can share their experience and that is what we did and it does not mean we are “trying to ruin your hard work”. Asking to book at a different time is not a crime. We booked for 6pm and arrived at 6pm and if you accept dogs at different times of the day maybe you should add that to the website for clarity. The way you responded to this message says it all.

Rude staff, the lady who works there has no manners and no experience in food service. We have a small video with the lady being rude and verbally aggressive. She was literally shaking and difficult to control herself. Probably she had a bad day. No hard feelings. The food it’s a combination of French/Italian/Hungarian. Most of the dishes has no taste , the only one was ok it was the garlic prawns. This is a place which I would never recommend and never visit again.

Next time I'm in the area I will definately return. We ordered five tapas dishes for the two of us which we found ideal and all were excellent. The service was superb as were the deserts and wine.

Our 2nd visit and it was even better. The tapas dishes tasty and the staff so good. Kevin looked after us again and that was the best part. The ambience nice in the late evening. Must book up and no regrets. Well done The Team.

Absolutely amazing Tapas. Staff were friendly and the venue is comfortable and intimate. The Chorizo in Rioja sauce and pigs cheeks with mustard mash is to absolutely die for. Would definitely recommend visiting again.Picture is of our deserts. Chocolate torte and coffee layered desert (bit like tiramisu), both very nice.

When you enjoy tapas as much as I do, I just had to stop and eat even though I wasn’t that hungry… patatas bravas & aoli, tomato salad, lemon and garlic prawns and a chorizo later followed by a large glass of Rioja…. Okay okay I stayed a lot longer than expected, a warm brownie with cream and a cafe con Leche to finish, just Perfect. I’ll be back even though it’s 170 miles away from home… if you’re around and want something different, you’ve gotta just gotta

My advice is to call and book ahead. We did just that for an evening meal last Friday. Tje service was amazing and the staff were very attentive. Plenty of hand sanitizer around and staff were wearing face coverings. Now the food. We went for Tapas and the suggestion was 5 or 6 dishes between 2, we had 20 between the four of us and this was more than enough. All of it was amazing. When in Linton we will be back.
