Pope's Tavern - Oxford

What an amazing meal with excellent service. We came in to the marina by boat and were offered a shuttle to the restaurant which was greatly appreciated as it was 97 degrees. The service is professional and hospitable in this beautiful historic building. I had the rigatoni with vodka sauce and my husband had the veal. Both were fresh and delicious, evidence of an experienced and knowledgeable Italian chef. I highly recommend this on your next trip to Oxford. We will come again!

My guy and I stayed here for 3 days and we are making this place our getaway spot! The patrons and people in the neighborhood were so welcoming and polite! The food and service at the Oxford Inn and Pope's Tavern were the best!! The atmosphere was so relaxing!! Highly recommend for anyone needing a relaxing spot to get away!!

Disappointed. We were excited to try a new place In Oxford. Staff and owners were not welcoming. Even said we will have to move you if it gets busy. Got there at 445 and nobody was there when we left at 530. What???

Excellent restaurant experience, really first-rate every time we go. Food is consistently delicious and never disappoints. Scott and Jean are wonderful hosts. Great authentic Italian recipes, fresh ingredients, well-sized portions, quaint atmosphere, very civilized and manageable size means you can talk at a normal level and hear all your guests. Love this place — my favorite restaurant on the Eastern Shore. Recommend without qualification.

Tidy dining room in a historic inn, focusing on Italian food, with a huge wine list. Service was prompt and with a smile, with frequent refills of fresh bread. Escargot appetizer was a hit: plentiful and tasty. Side of spinach was lovely: not overcooked, but unfortunately lacking the punch of garlic oil flavor indicated on the menu. Veal Saltimbocca was the real winner this evening! Perfect size, perfectly seasoned, and delicious. Wish we could have said the same about Rigatoni in Vodka Sauce with Chicken, which although right-sized and fresh, was in serious need of seasoning of some sort. Very thin chicken portion tasting of flame-grilled on metal but nothing else, was an odd addition to an Italian dish. Serving size of the Tiramisu was huge, although the flavor hinting of orange, rather than primarily coffee and/or chocolate, was unusual; perhaps Grand Marnier was added to the customary Kahlua. We did wish that a few more wines, particularly with robust flavor profile, were available by the glass from the large wine list.
