    I agree with Fred's review, it is pretty bang on. I have to say that I thought the food was better than expected, very flavourful. Excellent value for money with the voucher I had.

    The restaurant was comfortable, staff friendly and service what you would expect from a midrange restaurant.

    If you are out shopping in Exeter it's a good location as the others said has a great patio for when the sun comes out.

    I really wanted to have a good experience here. The restaurant looked very inviting, the menu looked great, but the food was just good. Nothing to write home about. I would visit again but it's not a restaurant I'd make a special effort to go out of my way to eat at

    First of all let me say that this Bar and Grill sits on the site of the former locally owned Exeshed which disolved in April 2010 (Exeshed was awesome and some of the staff have stayed on). Exeshed RIP

    Coal is a bar and grill the new owners seem to be upping their sales of food and lessening the cocktail market.

    It is what it says on the tin.

    Staff = Very pleasant
    Food = Exactly what you would expect
    Price = Average
    Value = Average
    Location = Opposite Debenhams
    Key points = Bang smack in the Centre of Exeter. It has Al Fresco options; which have been much needed during our early summer heat-wave.

    Overall _good atmosphere and we will go again soon and add to this brief review.

    The bar was very busy and the resteraunt packed. Difficult to hear eachother talk. Food was great though and the chocolate fondu was amazing!

    Had a staff xmas meal here the week before xmas.It was a manic sat nite,however the staff were all really polite both upstairs and down.
    The food didnt take forever to arrive and when it did it was really great!
    The cocktails were fab and the atmosphere inside was really good.
    Would def recommend to others,in fact weve booked to go back for a birthday gathering at the end of January.
