Although near by, I've stayed at the Inn a few times during power outages. Lovely and well maintained "historic" building. Epoch Restaurant serves delicious food with a lovely presentation. Menu changes periodically so there's always something new. Portions are large (especially the burger!). Worth every...penny we spent there every time. We frequent this restaurant routinely. The bar has some nice specials on food.More
Everything is great,food is very tasty and the personal is one of a kind. Enjoy the menu Even the desert is great

We made reservations for their thanksgiving buffet based on past dinner experience with this Inn’s restaurant. It was close to the end of the event and with a sparsely populated dining room the hostess proceeded to walk us the the back of the dining area...to seat us at a table near the kitchen entrance. When I said we prefer one of the booths we past on our walk through the dining room, she said of course we could change. Now in our preferred seats, we waited a long time without any acknowledgement from any staff, so we flagged a manager and she started to take care of us until our waitress showed up and her attitude, professionalism, service and attention was exceptional. Unfortunately most of the food was cold or luke warm at best, the turkey was dry and the beef had way too much grizzle and it would have been nice to have a bit of horseradish to compliment the beef. The smoked salmon was nice, but there was no sour cream or and such condiment to go with it. The shrimp was ok, but the cocktail sauce was empty and we had to wait for it to be replenished. As for the oysters, they were piled on top of each other and I did not want a room temp oyster, so I had to dig for the cold ones sitting on the ice. Even so, I was only brave enough to try three and one of them was off. When it was time for our dessert we ordered coffee and cappuccino and I went over to the desert buffet to find all the desserts put away, save for a few brownies. The women was very apologetics and did bring back out some of the deserts. The coffee was not very hot but the cappuccino was nice. Obviously, they have a lot of work to do if they care to get back to the quality experience we once enjoyed at the Exeter Inn and we hope they are successful in getting back what they have lost.More
I am certainly disappointed to learn you did not enjoy your experience here with us on Thanksgiving. Our entire team worked tirelessly to ensure every guest had a truly memorable experience but we clearly did not live up to either yours or our own expectations...More
My husband and I had breakfast and dinner at Epoch. We thoroughly enjoyed both meals. The breakfast was amazing. I wish we had eaten breakfast there before our last morning.
It was a pleasure to have you stay and dine with us! I am obviously pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience in Epoch. Next time we will be happy to serve you breakfast both mornings! Happy holidays!
We ate here for dinner and breakfast. Fairly fast and definitely friendly service. Fairly priced as well. Good food.
I truly appreciate your kind words! I will be sure to share them with our entire staff as this type of positive feedback is invaluable. Happy holidays and please come back and dine with us again soon!
You never know about the service not quality of food. Stick to the basics. Decor is dated. Could be a fantastic venue.
Thank you for taking time out of your day to provide us with important feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve our guest experience so feedback such as yours in invaluable. I hope to see you back at the restaurant soon!
With a group of eight people, we were seated in the back room of the restaurant where we waited to be served. Drinks came slowly. I found the menu to be very limited... only a few choices of healthy lighter entrees. The clam chowder soup...tasted good but its richness and salt did not sit well with me.I wound up having a burger which was just okay. We all waited for a long time for food to come and we had to ask for bread and butter to be served. I think our waitress was very young and not trained very well. We had brought cupcakes to be served as part of a birthday celebration. The server brought the cupcakes without any plates to serve them on AND she or bus people had not even cleared the table from entrees when the cupcakes were brought.It was embarrassing for our host and hostess. I think that when a group spends so much money at an establishment no matter where they are seated, service should be excellent. It was like our waitress had no training. Sorry to write such a negative review. I might go to have a drink at the bar which is very cozy but never again for dinner.More

We were a little concerned about some of that poor reviews Epoch had recieved in 2018, but last week we made reservations with good friends to eat dinner there. It is obvious changes have been made (for the better). Our service was prompt and friendly....All of our appetizers and meals were plate cleaning excellent. The environment was pleasent and not noisey. kudos to the manangement and staff for making necessary adjustments over the past few months. We had a wonderful night and great dining experience.More
It was an absolute pleasure having you as our guests! I am certainly pleased to read you enjoyed your experience with us! Our entire team works tirelessly to ensure each guest has a memorable dining experience and I'm glad we were able to provide that...More
After a long, difficult drive we ordered one of each starter and a few cocktails. Everything was excellent and it really turned our day around. The service was a little slow, perhaps because our waitress was training someone. But the staff was very friendly and...the food was delicious. And their take on a traditional rice krispie treat was a great way to end a really tasty meal. (Think creme anglaise and chocolate granache.)More
Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to provide us with such kind feedback! I am thrilled to read we were able to help you relax after a long drive! Please come back and enjoy the Rice Crispy Treat again soon!
The Epoch has the nicest breakfast at an affordable price. When in Exeter we always make this restaurant one of our breakfast stops.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback. As always, it is a pleasure to have you dine with us. Please come back and visit with us again soon!
