Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Went on a quiet Wednesday evening, service was very slow considering. Beer was warm, peppercorn sauce arrived cold and weirdly lemony. This restaurant used to be one of the best in Plymouth, this is no more

Greasy and tasteless food. This place has gone downhill rapidly. Staff don't seem to care about experience.

First visit for some time and we were pleased to return. The front of house staff were young but friendly, attentive and professional. The restaurant is light and airy and has great views of the harbour. We spent a leisurely 3 hour lunch, enjoyed some...lovely grilled fish and chips and desserts with a glass of wine each and coffees for just under £45 a head. The only gripes are the 80p charge for about 50ml of cold milk to go with the coffee and it looked as though it was a long while since the heater above the door and the extraction fan in the toilet had been seen a duster.More

Not my first time to this restaurant, and as ever the fish was fresh and excellently cooked. Wonderful server in Nathalie, although at points she seemed to be the only one delivering food and clearing tables while the younger members of staff just hung around...the bar area chatting and giggling. Luckily the restaurant wasn’t too busy so the lack of “available” staff didn’t affect the enjoyment of our meal, hence the 5 star review.More

Oh no, this fab restaurant has turned into a disaster!! Our son was at Plymouth Uni and We have been going to this restaurant 3 x a year for the last 5 years. It has always been our go to place for a fab fish...meal…. But not today. Cod and chips swimming in oil . Halibut cooked to a crisp… completely dry and the brill was tasteless. We were so disappointed as it has always been so good previously. I realised that things weren’t quite right when the waitress turn up with laminated menus( where had the lovely paper ones gone?) and they were rather grubby. Complained about the food and was given a small discount on the two plates only. As this was the last trip to Plymouth for a while I didn’t for more. A real shame, we will never return to what was a fab restaurant! Look elsewhere for good food… try Rockfish which is only a stones throw awayMore

Loved that there was a few vegetarian/vegan options available - portions were huge and I struggled to eat half of what was on my plate! But the food was very good and I really enjoyed the Plymouth Gin. Service was fantastic and all the team...I met were lovely.More

Always use the takeaway, so that we can sit outside on the harbourside. The fish is excellent quality, always piping hot as are the chips. Coffee first class. Looked after by Luka. Whenever visit Plymouth this is my first stop for a spot on meal

Fish and chips takeaway, eaten with family after a good evening out. The fish was very nice, but the chips were incredibly bland and slightly limp. And for the price, this was not acceptable.

Apparently you can have the hake (and any other fish) without skin if you ask the waiting staff... The chefs are more than happy to accommodate.
