    Always good here which is why we ALWAYS come. Food excellent, so too is the service. Today, best Beef carpacio I've had, and let's face it, it's Exeter town centre!!!!! Wished we could have stayed here for the rest of the afternoon drinking great wine, in a lively ambience, but places to go and people to see. Keep up the good work. See you next time I'm in Exeter.

    Our absolute favourite place to eat in Exeter & our 8th consecutive NYE booking. The food is delicious, freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The service is faultless, nothing is too much trouble for any of the team; as ever a special shout out to Amy - always greets you with a smile - until next time
