Latest critic review: May 24, 2010
Mark Hix's first solo venture.
Mark Hix's restaurant was much anticipated by foodies and critics alike, but the most interesting thing about the reviews for his first independent venture was how different an experience dining there was for his friends, the well-known critics, versus the internet critics. Time will tell if Hix's two-tiered customer service (his friends versus the general public) will continue to fill his restaurant.

"A most pleasant Anglo affair. The atmosphere is the real winner, I hadn’t a clue what a ‘real’ chophouse is suppose to feel like, but this one is certainly cosy." READ REVIEW
"If you're in a rush you might enjoy Hix's place less. Anyone with a couple of hours to spare should take their time. It's too good to rush." READ REVIEW
Jan Moir Are You Ready To Order
"A simple, honest to goodness chop house such as this is so Mark Hix, especially one with pennywort salad, salted ox cheeks and goose eggs on the menu." READ REVIEW
"London restaurants can be blandly international, but this is quintessentially, quirkily London, at once old-fashioned and futuristic. I love it; it's class." READ REVIEW

"I'd like to think that, given a month, the staff will ditch the Keystone Cops antics, and turn the place into another popular Smithfield gastro destination." READ REVIEW
"At last Mark Hix has put his name to a restaurant... and it is eminently deserving of it." READ REVIEW

"It's enough to make any Brit who cares about food proud, whether or not they happen to reside a few pages down the way from its very clever owner. " READ REVIEW

"The food at Oyster & Chops is well-meaning and, generally, slightly overcooked and a touch underseasoned. The service is pleasant if you can catch it, but a bit like fishing in the Thames: mostly happening somewhere else." READ REVIEW

"Once they get the service sorted out, this will be a great restaurant." READ REVIEW
