Reviews in Exeter

Old Timers is one of Exeter's best restaurants. The atmosphere and food is very unpretentious offering quality recognisable food that is cooked and presented wonderfully. The staff go out of their way to ensure that your evening is satisfactory. I had the Greek Salad as a starter followed by the duck as a main course. I would strongly recommend the duck as the porions were generous and cooked beautifully. The house red was also very good. The restaurant is conveniently placed just a few yards from the centre of the high street and stumbling distance from Timepiece night club making it a very good place to have dinner when celebrating or having work functions.

Now I am not a fan of pizza houses but Zizzi's in Exeter is more than that. Against all my better judgment I am also not a huge fan of national chains unless they have a very good product you can always rely on. Zizzis has all of this I feel. I eat at Zizzi's regularly and its main outstanding features are its ambience: warming, cosy and intimate even with such a large space. The trademark oven with chefs cooking infront of you is always a comfort and distraction if your food is taking a while (which it never has). The staff are very friendly and do give a genuine impression of caring for their customers. As a red wine drinker, the wine list humbling, even their house red. Their food is made very well and the portions are generous. I normally eat the Capriciossa pizza with rocket side salad and the large house Merlot. Again, it is pizza and pasta but done in a way that doesn't scream turnstile. I would recommend it to anyone and look forward to my next time there.

Mill on the Exe is a curious restaurant with a great location. The unique feature is the attached mill which is always a pleasure to watch in the summer time with a sprawling beer garden. However, food is not served all day. Parking is adequate. The food is possibly slightly overpriced for what it is but arguably you are paying for the ambience.

Another chain in Exeter which brings with it the expectation of the same menu, service, and ambience to be expected from a nationwide establishment. I have enjoyed late lunches at Cafe Rouge, especially their salads. The wine list is above adequate. Their best feature would have to be their staff which are very friendly and approachable. Only possibly negative is that as a non-smoker, I am never sat far away enough from the smokers and I think the restaurant could benefit from being non-smoking or expanding upstairs.

Boston Tea Party is one of my favourites for the summer time and makes fresh tasting food with an adventurous, satisfying menu. The staff are always very friendly and it oozes personality and individuality: something missing from most coffee-style houses. It is has a very personal touch. My favourite is their avocado wrap and their fresh juices. You can take away wraps and sandwiches which makes for a fulfilling lunch which is worth the extra walk from the supermarkets in the high street. Boston Tea Party is nothing short of trendy.

It is what I expected of an ASK which goes many ways. The consistency of quality is upheld, however, I did not find the portions filling and I was left looking around for staff frequently without much attention. It is placed in an idealic setting by the cathedral and I believe is one of the nicer places to eat during the summer time. For a 'pizza' house, I find that the menu is unadventurous and not competitive with many other similar restaurants in Exeter. Many pizza style eateries are close-by and nothing about ASK screams at me to pick on them except for the possible safety in a known chain. Booking for larger parties at lunch in advisable end of week and possibly mandatory for evening dining. However, small numbers mid-week is safe.

Harry's is a welcomed addition to Exeter's culinary tapestry. The portions are filling, the ambience is a trendy, rustic bistro like feel that other places have tried and failed at achieving. The location off the high street keeps it special. I have never had a bad night at Harry's and the menu is pleasantly surprising. The house wine is good (red and white), however, curiously priced as some bottles should probably not be priced as highly as they are and others should be lower for what they are. Easily, one of the most reliable and enjoyable places to eat in Exeter.

We were a bit worried by the fact there was an advert for chefs in the window, but hey how can you get a pizza wrong. The waiting staff were brilliant and made it easy for us to spend more. The Pizzas we had were as good as it gets, crispy, thin bases with generous high quality toppings. The wine I had could have been better but after all most chains buy cheap. Our only moan was having to deal with a surly, bored and rude manager when we paid.

the one thing that struck me most about starz is how friendly the waiting staff are. they always have a smile on their faces and do go out of the way to make you feel special, and nothing is ti much trouble for them. thge floor manger even came over personally and spoke to us. plkus the food is fantastic, cocktails to die for and you always have a party there. thanks guys. a welcome additon to exeter

excellent food,huge portions,don't bother with a starter or desert! .nice staff - very sincere. Would go again but book well in advance as is always busy especially Wednesday onwards.

The Double Locks has been a great place to eat in relaxed outdoor or bustling indoor setting for years but of late the food has gone from being interesting, moderately priced and well cooked to being hurriedly prepared and poor value for money but we were there on a Bank Holiday! I hear from others that the standard varies with the cook on duty so you may be lucky! Still a great ambience and location with a great choice of well kept beers.

i was very impressed with the quality of service at this restaurant. The cocktails were delicious and the delicacy of their construction was enticing to watch! i thoroughly enjoy every evening i spend at this bar, a must for all interested in good food and funky drinks!

Outstanding wine list. Food also exceptionally good. Very nice atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Well worth a try.

Have been several times and never been disappointed. An excellent restaurant, in my opinion the best in Exeter.

I've been to Starz a few times now and each time i've come away totally satisfied with the experience having had a wicked time. The food is excellent, huge portions and well worth the money, and the cocktails were brilliant. The staff have alwyas been very friendly and helpful and I can't wait to go back!!

Starz Bar & Restaurant is a welcomed addition to Exeter. It offers the best of American cuisine: unapologetically large portions in a versatile menu reflecting the culinary melting pot of the USA. I started with the Buffalo wings and shortly wished I hadn't had a starter when greated with the American Style Baby Back Ribs which were the length of my hand and forearm (only £10.50!!!) accompanied with spirals and vegetables. Another positive feature is their long cocktail list where cocktails were freshly made by exceptionally friendly bar staff specialising in classic cocktails despite regional origin and their originals. Another feature is the cocktail staff have their own specialties. As a student, I was welcomed by their staff who do go out of their way to ensure I had a great evening. It is perfect for occasions such as birthdays, hen-parties etc. I would recommend it to anyone and as a new restaurant the future for Starz looks bright.

Warm friendly environment., an excellent varied menu, fresh food and generous portions, Back again next Sunday.

Great food!
