We took our daughter and a bunch of her friends out for her birthday. The place was very busy on all three levels, especially for a Monday night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food again was very tasty, I polished off my wife's salad, which was superb with a excellent dressing. The restaurant itself is spacious, with a great view of the Cathedral.

Managed to bag a table at the last minute and well pleased to have done so - turned out some cuts are half price on Wednesdays, so we treated ourselves to the chateaubriand. Served on a board with salad leaves and huge chunky chips. Tender, tasty without any sauces, and well presented. We enjoyed the warm bread and olives while we waited, and found room to squeeze in desserts and coffee afterwards. Service was friendly and relaxed, we felt neither rushed nor neglected. All in all, good food enjoyed in a pleasant atmosphere.

Ate here last Friday with friends and really disappointed had crab cake to star meant to have Thai bisque with it but that had disappeared then had the Halibut special with dauphinois potatoes very small portion and no vegetables in sight. One guest had the lamb curry very little sauce and very salty. She made a comment to the waitress but no apology or concern shown or comment. Also the waiter spilt the wine when pouring but never cleaned the spilt wine up. Unfortunately we all agreed the food or service was not up to standard on previous visits so very disappointed with our visit. Perhaps it has changed hands or Chefs?? either way we will think twice before returning

7 of us ate here on a Saturday night having struggled to make a table booking elsewhere. We were offered the table for 6.30 as they were fully booked that evening but we then had the table until 9pm, we weren't asked to vacate it. The menu offered a number of choices, with fish much in evidence. We all decided on mains and desserts, and the waitress explained that as all the dishes were freshly cooked we could make changes to the dishes, and there may be a short wait whilst they were prepared. Everything came as ordered and was of a good quality. The wine was sensibly priced. The 2 waitresses who served us were friendly and helpful, dealing with requests competently and cheerfully.Overall, a pleasant experience and good value for money.

Overnight stay here having not been for several years. pPleasant and helpful welcome to our comfortable too. Went down for dinner with the same format as before - drinks, with a wide range available, in the lounge with delicious canapés. Decided to have the 'no choice' six course taster rather that the 4 course with choices, as the dishes on offer with the 6 course suited us well. Decided to share a flight of wine between two of us - as we have discovered elsewhere, lady manager a bit hesitant but we persisted and she kindly gave us our rations in a glass each, and we found the quantities very acceptable. and then a superb meal followed - seafood and fish, beef for our main and a really good range of mainly local cheeses followed by an excellent desert. A well balanced meal of sensible size servings, in our view, expertly prepared and served. The next morning, breakfast in their large 'conservatory', again very well presented and served, although the pace was definitely rather relaxed considering they appeared at the time to only be preparing food for us. One always returns to a favourite place with a little trepidation in case standards have slipped: at the Salutation they definitely haven't - our experience this time was at least as good as the lovely experience we have had there in the past.

Came here on a recommendation and had a Turkish mezze salad. There's an excellent range of GF food, and just a simple salad is amazing! There are so many things to try on the menu and it's good tasty authentic food. It's not a children's restaurant and it has nothing to do with Dinosaurs! We happily got fed and enjoyed the easy cafe feel to it.

This was our first visit to Exeter in many years, so I looked to Trip Advisor to see where to eat. I must say this unique quirky hidden gem lived up to the high praise of its reviews. The service was exceptionally friendly and attentive, although it must be admitted that we dined on a Wednesday evening and it was very quiet. We took advantage of the Early Bird dinner menu. My wife chose mackerel and beetroot salad for starters and raved about the accompanying horseradish mousse. I had tomato and mozzarella salad which had a lively zingy salsa verde dressing. For mains, the goatâs cheese and tomato parcel with sweet potato hash and the Cornish hake fillet with Thai green velouté and rice noodles were both perfectly cooked and memorable. All this was washed down with the local Pebblebed white wine, a perfect accompaniment and very reasonably priced for such a good English wine. I should endorse other comments regarding the modest exterior. Donât be put off - see photo of the interior below including the unique Elizabethan decorative wall panels.
