Reviews in Exeter

My first visit there was totally by accident,it was quite busy so had to wait 10 mins to be shown to a bench, a bit tight space but I had the opportunity to see what others were eating,the seafood soup was very tasty, my daughter was so envious I let her have half of it, it came in a huge pot. The second time we had the chicken curry, it was really tasty too, cheesecake was a let down, will definitely go there again.

simple home cooked meals using local fresh ingredients for around a fiver in such a cosy old 3 storey pub, house wines just £5 a bottle, no surprise then its always so busy and a favourite haunt for Exeter university students with its late 2am license. Live jazz bands on Saturday nights well worth going and a Sunday roast with live blues also £5 !

From outside looked fresh, however inside a different story. The service and food was average, however what put us off was the luck of space. The tables were too close to each other so we could here the conversation on the next table!!

i don't mind paying for good food and good service, but i hate sloppy and unprofessional service that is what we saw as a family. the steak at £11.95 was tough, full of gristle, and no wonder they offer sharp knives, the portions are small, the roast dinners were warm, the apple crumble , i had to look for the crumble it was thin and with cores it was crunchy, the hot chocolate should have been called warm chocolate and when we asked for an espresso we got the response from the manager it is knackered. we left poorer and still hungry, would not recommend to anyone, yet this place could be good if they took more time gave a proper portion and ensured the food was edible and hot, and remembered that politeness doesn't cost anything, use at your own option i wouldn't again.

Just exactly and absolutely what Exeter needs. A fabulous evening, great food and fantastic wine - we will be back!

Best thing to happen in Exeter for foodies for years. Coonsistent, quality food, at realistic prices and friendly atmosphere. Can't praise it enough and I am Ms Pickey when it comes to restaurants!

I have lived in Exeter for the last 10 years and this has to be without a doubt Exeter's finest restaurant. The service rivals some fine dining venues in the area. With great product knowledge and a friendly warm yet balanced approach it's clear the staff revel in working in such a fine establishment. I'm pleased to say it's one of the only Italian restaurants that actually has a true Italian as it's Head Chef which is evident in the food. From talking to the chef, i discovered the food is sourced solely from Italy and is delivered daily. This is a refreshing change from precooked, reheated rubbish commonly found in high street restaurants of the area. The atmosphere is well balanced and the overall impression is that of a funky retro, modern Italian restaurant. You must try it!

Just eaten here to celebrate twenty years with my wife. Food and service was excellent. Lots of cafes with new Princesshay development but made the right choice.

The service's really good and the food's nice. Only one drawback, the manager seemed a bit noisy as she was bossing around, talking and scolding her poor waitresses. However, it was a fantastic evening. we enjoyed having dinner there.

Wonderful friendly staff and the food was greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Would definitely come back

This restaurant is excellent if you like home cooked food the menu is fairly extensive. If you have children this is perfect as they have an indoors and an outdoors play area.

A busy Thursday evening, so a booking was an excellent idea. Staff were friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable striking just the right balance of familiarity and genuine support (none of the false American 'Have a nice day!) The ambience was excellent and, though busy, we were never overwhelmed or claustrophobic as there is an open and airy feel to the place. Service was swift without ever feeling rushed or under pressure. The menu is varied and provides plenty of choice for most people. Our starters and main courses (Sea Bass & Rib Eye Steak) were excellent and the desserts were high quality and a suitable finale. I was more than happy with the experience and wholeheartedly recommend Strada, particularly if you receive the same superior service that we experienced!

One of the best places i have been in a long while

been coming here for years . dan and matt are by far the best landlords in the history of the 11a quest for the independent vibe. one minute Hendrix then Dylan mixed in with some Dj Shadow and Nina simone then Leadbelly and stuff that makes you go to the bar and find out who is pulsing from the speakers !!! chilled out to the max upstairs on the 2nd floor too. The pizza's.... oh the Pizza's, i was recommended a classic 12" from a lady whilst in London !!! that's good word of mouth !!

Having visited now about 5 times I love the place the food is excellent each time I’ve tried something different and have not been disappointed with any so try:- fishcakes monkfish and sweet potato thermadore veggie:- mushroom stroganoff field mushroom with??? my mouth waters at the thought The landlady is lovely always remembers us the perfect hostess also the wine is good they can recommend something to suit your taste and they periodically change their wine choices

You can eat ostrich, venison and get your steaks etc. The vegetables are all presented nice and tasty as well. I have put it is pricey, but it depends on what you have, if you have say venison you will pay the going rate for venison. The restaurant is in a small village.

great food at last

If there is any place that I would rather go or be taken to for Sunday lunch, it has to be the Rodean. The food is quality, the service so comfy and efficient you do not want to leave, and the price so reasonable you can keep going back. We describe it to friends and to guests of our holiday accommodation as Silver service in your own fine dining room. Take me there any weekend, I am always available!
