    Great restaurant, food and service. Only criticism is the mains arrived too quickly, whilst we were still enjoying our cocktail’s (we are not slow drinkers), and it would be nice if the wine arrived before dinner - we had to chase for the wine to be served after the mains arrived. Please don’t offer cocktail’s if you aren’t going to let customers finish them before the food arrives - it wasn’t even busy.
    Harry's RestaurantResponded 2 days ago
    Hi there, Adrian. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We're pleased you enjoyed your time at Harry's. We apologise if you feel the food arrived too quickly. As we weren't busy at the time, it meant we could prepare your fresh food in good time. Had we known the order in which you wanted to dine, we would have happily obliged. Many of our customers like to enjoy their cocktails alongside their meals and finish with wine. If you haven't already, would you mind sharing some of your thoughts on TripAdvisor? We'd really love to hear more from you. The link to us is here; bit.ly/HarrysExeter. We hope this hasn't deterred you from dining with us again. Many thanks, Sam and team

    It was our first visit and definitely won't be our last. Both food and service exceptional. Our waitress even picked up on the fact that it was our daughter's birthday, and presented her with a candle topped cake. Such a lovely touch!

    Fab service today from Amy and the team. We were running very late due to heavy traffic but they were very accommodating. Unfortunately they had run out of fresh fish by the time we got there (their delivery was less than usual for some reason) however Amy gave us a complimentary drink each to compensate, which we didn't ask for but was gratefully received. We will definitely return next time we visit our in Exeter Uni. Thanks Team Harry's - you're amazing!
