This restaurant is truly amazing. We arrived with no reservation. One of the owners asked if we would like to sit at the bar. The patio was comfortable and beautifully designed. We are so very glad we took him up on his offer. The drinks...were creative and very attractive, the service was pleasant, and the food was exceptional and reasonably priced. We live 90 mins. away but we will drive there again just to eat.A perfect place to dine of a warm, summer evening.More

We were seated and waited to order. The waiter arrived to take our order. We had just ordered drinks and it was only 20 minutes after arriving and were perusing the menu. Then the maitre’d came over and began to lecture us on taking too...much time to order. She was rude and demanded we order immediately. We have never been treated so badly and were all shocked at the rude treatment. This put a big damper on an 85th birthday party. We will never return to this restaurant!!More

We chose to book a rez here at the last minute and took a drive to Grand Bend and then Exeter. Treated like gold from the minute entered and were served. The food is outstanding quality and well-presented and plenty. The staff is outstanding, friendly...and kind. The atmosphere of the restaurant is an old home that just adds to the experience. A fine dining experience where we felt we could be casual and relax while the restaurant and staff played the professionals.More

My wife and I attended on Tuesday for a 57th Anniversary.... lunch, were greeted and seated by Cloe and to say the property was nice would be way too understated....it was magnificent. Nice varied menu, prices were acceptable and once the food arrived and presented......well...you can assume the rest......and you would be correct.More

The American road test on restaurants were always; How full is the parking lot. Eddington’s lot was full, a long line up street-side for a full house on Saturday night. All justified by our first experience at the restaurant in over 20 years. Beautiful lamb...shanks, and a super rib-eye special … … Sarah provided informative, friendly and prompt service. We would return for the lamb alone.More

We ordered 6 takeout dinners on Saturday evening. Aside from the beef being outstanding and still delicious after a 20 minute drive home, the chicken and salmon entrees were fantastic as well. Appreciate the local farm to table concept happening at Eddington’s.The service was punctual,...efficient and felt very safe with all covid regulations enforced. We highly recommend you experience the varied menu at Eddington’s, it will not disappoint.More

We have visited Eddington's of Exeter several times and never have been disappointed. Last night we ordered the rib dinner for take out. It was advertised as a dinner for 4 and it included 2 full slabs of BBQed ribs, roasted rosemary potatoes and a...coleslaw salad. They even recommended a great paring with their craft beers. The taste was perfect, pairing was spot on and more than enough for a family of 4. All that food for $40 is a bargain. We drove 1.5 hrs. round trip--well worth the drive. Looking forward to enjoying the incredible patio for a few meals and drinks during the summer.More

We have been doing takeout from Eddingtons of Exeter since he started doing it during this Pandemic. We have only been disappointed once but figuring out the best foods for takeout can be a little challenging I understand. Since Chef Eddington has been doing the...theme nights we have tried and liked the fish and chips and have always enjoyed the Thursday night Gourmet Pizza. Lately, Wednesday Date night has started with appetizers, main dish, dessert and a bottle of wine.We have had three of the "date nights" so far and immensely enjoyed the food as well as the pairing of the wine. On one occasion I tried the wine before I started eating and wasn't thrilled with it but it was great with the food. The food is received hot or cold depending on the temperature it should be. We hope he continues this at the current price.More

Try Eddington’s take out during these uncertain times. James has launched a nearly flawless web based order platform. The food is prepared at a selected pickup time and in my case, so hot a napkin was placed under the container to allow the container to...be carried. The seafood entree was fabulous, with crispy skinned salmon, grilled shrimp and Swiss chard matched with a side of wonderful gnocchi. My wife’s chicken Appleby did not disappoint.More

I was pleasantly surprised by our visit to Eddingtons marvellous restaurant. It was suggested to us by the owner of our B&B The Gregory. We were certainly not disappointed by our visit. The food was great and very tasty. The service was prompt, thoughtful and...speedy, but not rushed. It was obvious that the restaurant has been a long time favourite amongst those available. The music was extremely enjoyable and not intrusive.More
