    We always dine at Harry’s when we come to Exeter, and book in advance. The food is always excellent, service great and generally a lovely place to eat and spend the evening.

    A really enjoyable lunch experience. All the staff who served us were very welcoming, courteous and very attentive. It was a delight to open the menu and discover a tantalising choice of dishes. The service was seemless and we appreciated that the staff allowed us sufficient time to enjoy each course. We would strongly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return again.
