With the surroundings in a beautiful part of Exeter anything less than 10’s would be sacrilege. Possibly now the best place to eat in Exeter. Couldn’t find a faullt. Looking forward to my next visit.

Had an excellent meal at No.5 over the easter weekend. We were served by a lovely irish female waitress who was very attentive and pleasant. We booked for my sisters birthday which I put on the booking, they bought out a special happy birthday plate with a candle and the restaurant sang happy birthday - much to my 14 year old sisters embarrassment! Food was lovely however menu was a little limited. All in all 5* experience will deffo come again !

The menu was very limited and rather uninspiring. The ‘nibbles’ seemed to be ‘thrown together’ - poor presentation and expensive for what they were. The ‘chargrilling’ of the bread left a burnt after- taste. There was a lot of fat in the steak which was at times inedible. The coffee was nice . The meal itself was expensive and just not enjoyable! The service was good and attentive.

Staff were very accommodating and made every effort to make us comfortable in the outdoor covered space in rainy weather. The food was delicious and service great. My only suggestion is to offer more than one veggie main. One of our family had the only choice of beetroot gnocchi which was good and perhaps needed a sauce.

We enjoyed our time at No5. We were made to feel very welcome and our waiter, Nathan was a delight. The scallops starter was really tasty. My friend had the gnocchi for her mains and said that although it tasted fine the texture was a bit weird. I had the Spanish mussels, which were lovely although there was far too much Chirizo. Some of the mussels didn’t open and Nathan kindly got me a discount without me even asking which was very sweet. I will definitely come again

Lovely food and service was pretty good. Hugely disappointed that there was obviously an issue with our table when we arrived and so we were put on a large round table by the stair case and had to endure the door being opened continuously all evening. We would have been warmer outside in the tent under the heater. Totally defeated the point of me booking ahead by a few weeks and booking an indoor table! Shame as that’s all we will remember our first visit to No.5 by. I was freezing and very uncomfortable. The rest of my table sat with their coats on all night! I have emailed the restaurant about this and heard nothing back which is very disappointing.

Great food that arrived in good time, staff were very good and clearly had a lot to manage. However, it would have been nice if more attention was paid to pouring the wine and drinks rather than being left on the table with the screw cap still on- small details that would have improved the quality of the service. Overall a lovely restaurant and will definitely be back!

Great buzz, excellent attentive service.well priced food and wine. Menu, good choice of starters. Mains: Steak, burger, Spanish mussels, moules frite, fish of the day and beetroot gnocchi. So 2 mussel dishes plus fish, 2 beef dishes, and a vegetarian, the ‘special’ was also veggie. So although all food had by our party was good I think the variety of dishes could be improved upon.

We almost had to leave for our concert before the desserts arrived because they took a long time. We enjoyed our dinner though and the venue is fabulous, with friendly staff who work hard. Perfectly cooked fish with very light batter that left me wanting more. Chips not the best though. They could have done with blanching for much longer before the second frying. We will be back. Much nicer here than any of the chains of restaurants in the city.

Only a very expensive set menu which we weren’t informed about when I booked. Food is however, very good quality

Very limited menu especially deserts. Food service was a bit slow. Food was good but quite expensive for what it was

Good food but main course food service was very slow due to two very large parties booked in at a similar time. Staff were very apologetic, but it was not ideal. Dining room was initially quite cold, which we were not prepared for in terms of clothing, and sitting with our coats on rather detracted from the overall ambience! However, I would be prepared to give it another try on a quieter evening with warmer clothing as it is a lovely old building and the food was enjoyable and good value.

The food was lovely, but nothing overly special. I had the pulled pork in which felt like it was missing a special link it needed a strong flavour to bring all the other flavours out. Also had the beef burger which was lovely and very meaty but was chargrilled so tasted very burnt. The service was good and the ambience was nice and decor calming. I would return but not in a rush. Thank you.

The best items were the fish and chips, (although we couldn't finish all the chips!) A favourite starter was the humous. The puddings were a slight disappointment, in that the sticky toffee pudding was cold and the chocolate brownie had very little sauce. If those things were rectified, that would be lovely!

The setting is fantastic. We ate in the back dining room which was very nice. Ordered arancini to start which was tasty. My friend had the fish of the day which she enjoyed by replacing chips with potatoes. I had the pea risotto. It was presented very well but had very little/no flavour at all and was very bland. Within the risotto were a few huge clumps of cabbage. They should have been smaller. I had a similar dish at a local restaurant last week which was absolutely delicious. This needs huge improvement, I could not taste the pea, garlic, mint....anything... it just tasted like plain risotto rice, such a shame. We ordered a chocolate brownie to share. I was expecting a warm squidgy brownie. Instead came a cold rectangle of dense chocolate. Although it was tasty it was not what we had ordered, the description was very poor as this was certainly not a brownie, it was more like iced chocolate parfait. When the waiter cleared our mains he asked if we had enjoyed them and I told him about the risotto so I was a little disappointed there was no partial discount at the end of the meal. We had a very friendly pleasant waiter, however when we asked for the bill he literally brought the card machine and charged our cards, we didn’t even get sight of the actual bill to check before paying. We then moved for cocktails in the front garden. We ordered three porn star martini is which is usually passionfruit, however they all tasted of pineapple. Also seemed a little weak bearing in mind they were £9. All in all we had a pleasant evening but I probably wouldn’t rush back for food

I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to No5. My meal was tasty and our waitress was attentive and friendly. I know a couple of our party raised issues with a few things, but I understand this is being addressed by the management. Either way, a great evening was had, and I will definitely book again.

The table we had felt a bit gloomy and it was very cold in that corner. Service was OK if a bit slow at times. No complaints about the food, and the price was good.

Fantastic new venue with great food and drink in a beautiful setting. Staff very friendly but took a long time to be served each time and feels like our table kept getting overlooked!

Lovely food and setting. The only issue was we were placed at the back of the beer garden (which in itself was fine) but the front of house attendee said she would get us an umbrella for the table but we never received it. We were also told 30 mins before we were due to give our table back that we only had that 30 mins left. So we asked for the dessert menu...the menu was delivered, but the next time she came back we had 5 minutes left and she came over and just asked if we wanted the bill...so I think she forgot we wanted to order dessert. But you were busy and we had ran out of our alloted time so we didn't bother saying anything. Coming again tonight to try it courtyard side!
