    This was our first time at Harry’s and an ideal opportunity for a try-out with visiting friends on a seriously rainy day. We were not disappointed, everything was just perfect - beautifully prepared and presented food, interesting wines at sensible prices (Muscadet and Brouilly) and even just the right level of background music.

    Just love this place. An amazing meal again. Wouldn't expect anything less from Harry's. 5 🌟 The food is excellent and the atmosphere, even though busy was relaxed. Nothing was to much trouble from the waitresses. Already booked my next visit.

    We were quickly greeted with a warm welcome & smile. We had a lovely table, the staff were friendly, informative & courteous all evening. We had a super starter of Calamari and Main courses of Fish Pie and Crab Linguine, both excellent. A great wine list too! We loved the atmosphere, the history of the building. It was a great night. Ours was a very short visit to Exeter. Harry’s is all the excuse we need to return.
