    Super-duper meal to celebrate a birthday. We are regular visitors to Harry’s and yet again we had a fabulous meal. Cannot fault it in any way - other than perhaps because they are so good you need to book well in advance!

    Fantastic venue nicely decorated and great atmosphere - very chilled with good music. Had the arancini and sourdough starters both excellent. The burrata pasta main and crab pasta main were both delicious. The Harry’s burger unfortunately was very dry and wouldn’t recommend. Would definitely return when next in Exeter.
    Harry's RestaurantResponded on June 6, 2025
    Hi there, Ros. Thank you for taking the time to leave this 5-star review for us. We are so pleased you enjoyed your Harry's experience and loved your starters and burrata and crab mains - excellent choices, we must say. However, we're disappointed to hear your burger was dry. This is very unusual for us and, had this been brought to our attention, we would have happily replaced the dish for you. We hope this doesn't deter you from visiting us again in the future. Many thanks, Sam and team
