    Great service, the lady that served us could not have been more helpful and accommodating from the minute we arrived. Helping us decide which are would be best to sit in, drinks and food both came out quickly. Felt very friendly and comfortable. We would definitely return. Was a lovely spot for a catch up with the girls.

    We had a really enjoyable meal at Dottie’s. The restaurant has a relaxed, stylish atmosphere and the service was warm, attentive and genuinely friendly throughout. The Devon calamari with cider tartare was fresh, crisp and full of flavour, while the cheddar and chive arancini were rich, comforting and perfectly cooked. The food was well presented and reasonably priced for the quality. It felt like a proper Exeter restaurant rather than a typical hotel dining room. We would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in the city centre.
