    A Christmas treat with my parents. 3 course meal for all of us. It was packed but the staff had everything perfectly timed and were great at their jobs. The food is always perfect and the presentation superb! I wish I could dine here more often.

    If you’ve read anything about Stage at all before this, nothing I can say will come as a surprise. Stage comes across as a total labour of love for the guys running the show. They’re doing what drives them and what they clearly thoroughly enjoy. In the kitchen and front of house. The Taco Boys are on a mission and I felt extremely lucky to be able to go along for the ride with them. There is a total enthusiasm about their food and drinks which is genuinely infectious. The result is a fine dining experience at a non-exorbitant cost: all the enjoyment of creatively imagined, painstakingly sourced and prepared food, introduced to the table with relaxed, fun, and informative style and panache. I have no idea where it would be possible to experience the same levels of culinary ingenuity and sheer enjoyment at such good value for money. So it’s not over the top to use the word unique to describe what just happened. That wasn’t simply an excellent meal, we were actually blown away by the entire show.

    We love Pho, the staff, the food all perfect. Last night we had a long wait for our food because the place was packed and they had only four staff on. I think there is so many viruses around and staff issues everywhere. Having been ill myself I sympathise! That said they were coping admirably and we remain big Pho fans. Merry Christmas to all at Pho.

    Beautiful venue with excellent food and service. The blue cheese soufflé was excellent as well as the duck rendang. Desserts were very clever and well presented. We must go back the next time we are in Exeter.
