We had the Salmon Hollandaise and the Haddock with Lentils. The Salmon piece was very small and the seasoning for the Haddock was not balanced. It was over seasoned with Cider Vinegar (?). Otherwise all was fine. The beer selection was so disappointing that I chose water instead

Service a little slow owing to restaurant being very busy and one large party, but good food and buzzy atmosphere. All in all a very pleasant evening.

Good atmosphere and excellent service. Great choice of veggie food and wines. One of the best chains to go to in Exeter for dinner for well cooked and presented food.

In a gorgeous location overlooking Cathedral Green this lovely old building is full of charm and character. The menus are varied with dishes to suit all tastes and the Early Bird special menu is excellent value. Staff are efficient and friendly and the whole evening was delightful

We had a delicious dinner and a mots helpful girl to serve us. I had requested a table upstairs by the window (as we had an American visitor, although I hadn't mentioned this in my request) and we were very pleased to have a wonderful view of the cathedral green.

As always we were welcomed like dear friends. We have probably eaten there at least 75 times in the last three years. The service is impeccable and the food as ever, excellent. The chocolate mousse is the best, as is the fillet steak which we have every time!

Really enjoyable. Food well cooked, with quality ingredients. Attentive service but very busy, so food rather slow to appear. Mildly resent the 12.5% "optional" service charge automatically added to bill. Would certainly go back.

We had a lovely time. We were given a table upstairs with perfect views of the cathedral. We opted for the set menu. Soup / Couscous/ Creme brûlée. All courses were delicious and the waiter Gerard was very attentive. We were looked after while we enjoyed our food. Merci

One of the classier joints in Exeter, imho. Reception could have been better. None of the staff on duty seemed interested in us for a few minutes, and it was difficult to see whose attention we should attract. Soon enough one of them affixed the welcoming smile and we were well looked after thereafter. The food was excellent. Our Hungarian waiter was friendly and engaging and even managed to give the impression that we were his most important table. The toilets are unfortunately three flights below the 1st floor dining room, but the latter offers lovely views across Cathedral Square, and the art deco feel of the place is pretty cool. It was nice to see a range of diners - young and old, enjoying themselves. Definitely going again and again.

I love this restaurant. The food is always excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. I'm one of those annoying customers who arrives and announces they're in their lunch break and need to get in and out in an hour and they always do their best to help recommend quick dishes and ensure our order is taken swiftly, drinks are offered and the food arrives quickly. This really helps take the stress out of things which helps me focus on enjoying my lunch rather than having to watch the clock. Likewise I've been in the evening and enjoyed a relaxed romantic meal with no rush or pressure to move on. Great service. Highly recommended. The view across Cathedral Green from upstairs isn't bad either ;-)

Lovely food as always, beautiful view and friendly, welcoming staff. However appeared short staffed on this occasion so service was slower. The staff working, worked very hard and maintained their friendly calm approach, they looked very busy and there appeared to be less staff than usual.

We had a wonderful evening with a table in the window as requested. Good food and wine including complimentary kir royales. Staff very attentive but too many staff asking us the same questions: order? drinks? etc. However, overall a lovely evening! Thanks.

Food was average, my chicken was tough. Got a bit fed up with the Waiters constantly hitting my chair as they passed even though there was plenty of room. It's a chain restaurant without any soul or atmosphere.

Wonderful restaurant, very professional and efficient staff and the food is wonderful, real flavour and presentation. We took 2 American friends of our's to Cote's last Sunday as they had not been to Devon before and it was a perfect setting and meal and added to their really positive experiences of their time in the County. Thank you again and we will definitely be re booking ourselves in to come again very soon. We would recommend without reservation. Would love to see the restaurant offer local craft beers too as an option.
