    This is one of many visits to Harry’s, and I want to prefix this review by saying we’ve never had a bad meal there. We love it for special occasions and I recommend it to everyone. However this visit I was let down, I wrote in the reservation this was for our wedding anniversary: I didn’t expect special treatment but we were given the worst table in the restaurant (a booth right next to the door to the toilets and function room). It’s a noisy and busy area with staff and people going to and from the bathroom. It’s also removed from the body of the restaurant so you don’t benefit as much for the ambience which is one of the main reasons we love it there so much. I didn’t ask to move, it was very busy and I couldn’t see any other tables. Our cocktails (festive 75) were really good and so were our little appetisers of pigs in blankets and aranacini (like REALLY good). My husband had the fillet steak and it looked amazing, he loved it. I ordered lasagne and I was really disappointed, the bechamel had congealed on the the top with the cheese and I found it quite unpleasant to eat. I left more than half, which I never do but it was just not nice. Our desserts were nice, but the chocolate torte I didn’t feel was the usual standard I expect at Harry’s. The service was excellent as always.

    Another fabulous meal! Going to Harry's has been our Christmas treat for several years and it never fails to impress. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing at very reasonable prices. Looking forward to next year!

    Courtesy call in the morning and a lovely welcome in the evening. The staff were all attentive and helpful. The menu was varied and very tasty indeed, the food came out in very good time and the drinks were fairly priced which was a pleasant surprise. I would highly recommend Harry’s there is nothing to fault.

    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.
