The same incredible, outstanding food but variable drinks. Mojito two weeks ago was perfect but this time was far too sweet so we returned it and got another even sweeter one. (As if to say how dare you?! ) Mojito should have a dash of gomme or a teaspoon of sugar not tons. My wife didn't touch it (£9) but nobody commented or seemed to care. We still left a tip because service and food are generally so good.

Beautiful venue with excellent food and service. The blue cheese soufflé was excellent as well as the duck rendang. Desserts were very clever and well presented. We must go back the next time we are in Exeter.
