    Over all the meal was very good. But not cheap. They need to work on the unisex toilets. The smell was not good. Quite typical of men’s toilets. Yuk.

    I was very disappointed with the menu - online it said there were loads of gluten free options and there wasn’t at all - the overall service was ok but the waitress was not very charismatic and quite rude. The steak was lovely but no separate fryer for fries to be gluten free which is quite shocking tbh.

    It was my first experience of dining at Harry's, having heard so many positive things about it. I took my son there for his birthday meal. We were both blown away by the whole experience. The food was fantastic, the service absolutely superb; simply put - it was amazing - we have had a perfect night. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend

    One of my favourite spots in Exeter. Fab food, delicious drinks, great room and ace team - what’s not to love!? For us, a special occasion place- but that might be because we push the boat out every time we go!!

    First time visitors but we will definitely be returning. The food was absolutely fantastic, some delicious sounding options from a great menu and weren’t disappointed with our choices. The service was very good, just attentive enough to be there for our needs without being an irritant. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant just a few minutes walk from the centre.
