Looks can be deceiving - I was a bit worried when we arrived at what was a strip mall type location. Good news was there was plenty of parking. They don't take reservations so we we called ahead and they said they did not have a long wait. When we arrived they were a little busier and they told us we had a 20-25 minute wait. They were spot on and called us after about 20 minutes. The staff were very nice and helpful as we ordered as we had a few questions. They were also attentive without hovering. For dinner we enjoyed the Seafood pasta with vodka sauce - loads of fresh seafood (scallops and shrimp) and a great sauce. We also had the Grilled swordfish which was fresh and a nice sized piece. Finally I had the Watermelon and cantaloupe salad with steak tips that was fresh and tasty. Great food in a spot you might not expect it.

I have nothing but incredible things to say about OT. From the service to the food from walking in the door to walking out I'm always beyond impressed with everything. Last night was date night and the food was amazing and my server was awesome. HIGHLY recommended!!!

I had a really nice experience here last week with my husband and another couple who had already been. The place is located in a small local plaza in Barrington, parking is good. It was a Friday evening around 7:30pm, we didn't have reservations but took our chances. It was busy but they had a high top available near the bar. Ambience is nice, cozy. The high top was located in the far back right corner which I think is a lovely place to be seated here. The food was really good. I really enjoyed my choice of Linguine and Little necks and my husband and friends all enjoyed their choices as well. The entire experience was just really good. The service was truly professional. Our server was very attentive. Cocktails were really well made, I ordered an Old Fashioned, which is my preferred cocktail and the bartender made it perfectly. We will be going back soon:)

Finally got around to trying out the new Barrington location and it was nothing short of amazing! We got there on a rainy Sat night - called ahead to see if they took reservations but were told no and that there should be no wait. We got there shortly after and were promptly seated and serviced. The new spot is def a few steps up from the old spot - updated, modern and airy. Meaghan was our waitress and was wonderful - as was all the staff. It was outstanding friendly service and efficient all at the same time. We started with the loaded tater tots and the octopus special. The octopus was cooked wonderfully and the tots were a fun appetizer to share - reminds me of my elementary school lunch if I was Richie Rich. But the spotlight goes to our entrees - I got the chicken parm with fresh rigatoni and the pink vodka sauce and he ordered veal parm with fresh bucatini and pink vodka sauce (how unoriginal ). Both were delicious! I love me a good vodka sauce and fresh pasta - my rigatoni was maybe 20 seconds short of being al dente but I'd prefer a tad harder vs soggy floppy pasta. The bucatini however was perfecto! The mister said it was one of the best veal parms he's ever had and that's a tall order to fill! All drinks were creative and tasty! And with how delicious dinner was, we had to get some dessert and they didn't disappoint! We were way too full and took the rest of dessert to go. With the nightmare that is the Washington Bridge debacle - this is a great place to support more locally, you won't be disappointed! No need to go to the Hill for some good Italian (they do serve up Portuguese fare as well) when we've got a great spot in our backyard! With apps, drinks, dinner and dessert - tax + tip was close to $200 but well worth every penny!

My husband and I ate here this evening after our son's wrestling match at the local high school. I looked around for restaurants in the area since we are unfamiliar with Barrington. Oxford Tavern came up. I read the reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a try. Wow! We were surprised to find not only exceptional service here but also delicious food. I highly recommend the salmon piccata. This unassuming homey hometown bar/ restaurant surpassed our expectations. It is clear the owners, Alan and Lorree, take pride in their restaurant and enjoy interacting with their customers. Their daughter, Arielle, is an amazing bartender as well... personable, welcoming, and knowledgeable. By the time we left this evening, we felt like family. I wish we lived closer because this place would definitely be a regular in our restaurant rotation. Try them out if you haven't yet- you won't be disappointed!

The feel of Providence outside of Providence. Nice atmosphere, staff attentive. Nice / clean but most of all, the food is fresh and tasty. The dipping sauce for the spring rolls was amazing , the wings were perfect. Just a great experience

First time here. My friend suggested we try it based on his friend's recommendation. What a great place! Decoration was nice but nothing special but the vibe from the regulars was cool. The overall experience was exemplary. Our server Phil was awesome and was super helpful with a large menu with an endless number of choices. He was always there enduro we had what we needed. Cocktails were fantastic. The "top shelf" margarita was so good that I had another one with my meal versus a glass of wine. Shrimp Mozambique appetizer was so flavorful. One of the best renditions I have tried. The star of the show was this baked seafood dish in a light chili sauce. It was full of clams, shrimp, octopus, squid and whitefish. Perfect amount of chorizo. It was truly an outstanding dish that I would not have expected at a Tavern This place is a true hidden gem. Will be back despite it being 30 minutes away

We have followed the Oxford Tavern team as they moved to Barrington. Coming from NJ we were eager to see the new place and enjoy their delicious food. We had a (another) great meal at the tavern last night. BF had the corn chowder with Chourice and the meatball app -6 meatballs in plenty of sauce and melted cheese. I had the Crazy Alfredo which had Italian sausage, chourice and chicken in a creamy cheese sauce. The portion was huge so plenty for leftovers. The new place is very nice with both booths and tables. The bar looks smaller though but everything looks new. Great to see the Oxford Tavern back in action!

A good friend of mine visits the Oxford regularly and invited us out this past Wednesday. When we arrived, a pipe had burst but the staff was quick to seat us and let us know the status of when we would be waited on. I was impressed with their honesty and happy they set our expectations. The menu is printed out and changes daily because it's made from scratch. I had bucatini with white sauce and lobster, scallops, clams and squid. It was phenomenal. Bucatini is my favorite pasta but you can't get it out normally because it is fresh made. The owner, who came out to talk to us, let me know that he buys everything he can locally. We were served very fresh breast with olive oil dip. Liked that a lot. Here's the surprise for me...deep fried raw spaghetti with seasoning. WOW. It's a must have. Martinis were made quick and every one was very good. Cosmos with tequila and espresso. Staff was great. We forgot our leftover food and the very kind waiter ran it out to us in the pouring rain. If you haven't been here, you must go!
