    We dined at The Oxford Scholar last night for dinner and used vouchers we had won at a trivia night last year. There were four of us and we ordered 2 porterhouse steaks, a schnitzel and a parma. My friends said that both the parma and the schnitzel were nice, however the two steaks were well below par. Both ordered as medium rare and both arrived rare to blue. One arrived well before any of the other meals came. I sent this back as soon as I cut into the steak and saw how bloody and rare it was. I also touched the steak and noticed that it was cold. As soon as my friends arrived, she had the same issue and sent it back. Both steaks came back and were on the wrong plates (my steak had butter but was on her plate with her sides, and her steak was on my plate with my sides) Cut into the steak again, mine was slightly better but not edible. I ate my sides and left 3/4 of the steak behind (mainly because it was tough, grisly and full of fat) She at about the same amount from hers as again it was terrible. We could tell that the cuts were cheap and probably something you'd expect from a steak night where the plate is heavy discounted but when paying full price, it was extremely disappointing. We sat at the table for a while after finishing in the hope that a staff member would clear our table and we could provide further feedback but it was clear that we were being given a wide berth with staff avoiding us like the plague. It was pretty disappointing and I will definitely not be ordering steak from there again.

    Great steak night. Awesome drink specials. Friendly staff. Will definitely come back and try some other things. Support this one so it survives

    We went here because it was handy to RMIT where we’d been to an event. There was no sign of menus just the QR code on the table. I really like to physically read a menu - but we did get some when we asked. The staff were pleasant but there didn’t seem to be enough of them. I enjoyed my steak but my friend said the snitzel was dry and she didn’t eat it.

    Relaxed venue, a good vibe, service friendly and attentive. Good range of beverage and food options. Good location, especially for staff and students of RMIT.

    Hoping to be constructive. I had a lovely lunch with my group but a member of my party was served rotten lettuce on their side of fish and chips. My chips on my meal were all about 2 cm long. The listed menu on your website is out of date and items weren't available. The website to order directly from your table showed items being out of stock, but they were available if ordered at the counter. I had to chase up one meal for my party as they waited 10 min after everyone else had their meals. Thank you

    Awesome place good food. On this particular occasion our food was served to the wrong table and then when they finally delivered our our food it was only lukewarm. Not sure what happened.

    No indication where our reserved table was, was told to find the reserved sign on a random table ourselves and just ended up sitting at any free table. 25 min wait for two ciders on a Wednesday. How/when to order online or at bar was unclear, and when to show student card. Wait staff were kind and apologetic at least.

    Spacious venue with great food and lovely staff. We went for my birthday and had a great time playing pool, having some drinks and relaxing. We were very well looked after.

    The pub is great, lots of people having fun around you. Staff were friendly and helpful, even though some of them were quite new. With regards to our food order the steak was fairly average, and the meat a big chewy but the prawns were amazing. Overall would go again but won't order the steak.
