Restaurants near St Nicholas Priory

I honestly don’t even know where to start, but today was my birthday and the staff at Pho Exeter made my day more than special. In particular a young blonde woman working on the bar!! I mentioned when booking my table that it was my birthday and when I got there everybody was so lovely and attentive to the fact that it was my birthday. I haven’t had much luck with my recent birthdays but this one will definitely be one to remember. The staff brought me out a free desert with a candle in it and sang for me🥹🥹 and gave me complimentary prawn crackers & extras, the staff were more than kind and absolutely lovely! Completely made my day and I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you so so much to the staff at Pho Exeter you are all so lovely, most importantly the food was amazing as usual! ( p.s to the young blonde woman working on the bar, I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name but I honestly think you are the most lovely person, Thankyou so much for everything. It won’t be forgotten ). I think that’s everything for me to write but I hope you understand my appreciation and gratitude to this lovely experience at a lovely restaurant xxx

We had a great meal apart from the sever who was wearing a flowery shirt, possibly the manager? He was very obnoxious

We didn’t dine, we had drinks in the rooftop bar. Quiet at 17.15 but we expected that. Lovely bar, staff friendly. On warmer evenings it would be glorious to sit outside. Suggestions for improvement? We had to go to bar to be served, drinks brought over - but as quiet it would have been nice to get table service ? Also, we were drinking Champagne, I think the heavy Utilitarian chunky catering flutes should be saved for ‘other’ sparkling wine and some nicer more classy ones used for champagne to make it special 😀 I think the type and quality of glasses for drinks says a lot about an establishment. Those are my thought though overall a lovely experience .

Great took my family for a meal, and was looked after well! For a Friday lunch didn’t seem too busy which was nice as it’s January. Couldn’t fault the experience, definitely will be back and thanks for Caitlin for looking after us 🙂

Great new menu , nice friendly service and warm on a cold evening , enjoyed
