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.

My rating would have been much higher as it in an amazing location with good food but it was spoilt by the attitude shown by the staff. We were asked 2 order coffees at the same time as the desserts and they came some time...b4 the desserts! As mine was a macchiato which is small and soon cools I returned it without drinking it and requested a fresh one after I had finished eating and politely said I would not have expected coffee b4 dessert? I then received a lecture from the staff member instructing me that the onus was on me 2 tell them that on ordering and if I wanted my coffee I would have 2 pay 4 two! Needless 2 say I didn’t bother with coffee! As it was our first and now certainly our last visit I just thought that now I have been fully trained by the staff I would pass on my knowledge and advice 2 future customers who like me expect a nice coffee 2 finish off their meal 🤣More

Lovely venue - welcoming and furnished nicely in an art deco style. Amazing food - if portions were a little on the large size, not something I would usually complain about! More importantly, the service was exemplary. We asked to be moved as there was...a very loud party close by and were immediately found another table. Our waiter was Glen who was very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend visiting this restaurant - it is extremely good value for money and well worth a visit!More

Me and two friends ate here last night, this was first time trying the restaurant since it’s been Ocean View. We were not disappointed! The food was amazing, especially the scallops!! The service was excellent, Corey was so professional but also had a good laugh...with us, it was a great evening. The view and restaurant was fantastic, such a good vibe. Recommend the cocktails, so good. We will definitely be backMore

Warm welcome, pleasant staff and good food. However we had to wait 40 minutes for our food and other people who came later were served before us. Few niggles: no condiments on the table, no mustard , horseradish etc offered - had to ask for...some, forgot a drink and had to ask twice for water, no dessert forks provided. Attention to detail lacking.More

This is the best place in Plymouth for a Sunday Roast, the food was so tasty. The domes Christmas decs are beautiful and the restaurant is cosy/ calming. I had a luxury hot chocolate and my partner had a cappuccino, both were lush. All of...the staff were really friendly , shout out to Sam who was attentive and served us promptly. Without a doubt will be recommending the dome for a Sunday lunch to everyone we know. £23.50 for a high quality, big portion main and desert.More

Took my Mother here for a cream Tea and have to say very disappointed with it. We received our pots of Tea promptly. However we waited a further 20 minutes to receive our Scones. There was ample Cream and Jam but the Scones themselves didn't...appear home made they looked shopped bought. They had warmed them through which would have been OK if it weren't for the fact when you cut them they literally crumbled into pieces. Also we were not given plates to have our Scones on. They were given to us on Napkins. There was no good morning please or Thank you and no eye contact from the man at the ordering area. Thoroughly disappointed and not worth £7 . Won't be visiting again. Sorry but will be sticking to the Tudor House on the barbican . SandraMore

Great spot with fantastic view of the sound and nice and cosy when the weather isn't too good. Staff are lovely and helpful. Cakes are yummy. We just stopped for coffee and cake halfway through our regular dog walk but the breakfast being served to...adjoining tables looked really good too.More

3 friends went for afternoon tea yesterday to celebrate a 70th Birthday ! We greeted by a friendly young man who took our coats and showed us to our table in the window with wonderful views. Our afternoon tea for 3 arrived … it was...delicious with a great balance of savoury and sweet choices . We all had afternoon tea to drink as driving. I highly recommend the Ocean View for afternoon tea. Friendly, professional, efficient, attentive staff …. Perfect ! Thank youMore

As the Dome has changed hands a few times over the years i was not sure what to expect but what we did have was a evening of amazing service and amazing food . we went for a meal and a catch up nothing special...but we were seated in the window with all the lights out in the Hoe , a great choice of drinks and a choice of menus , the steak was well cooked my friend had the ox cheek ,amazing and we had to have a pudding again both amazing .The service was attentive and relaxed and as the restaurant filled up the atmosphere was just right . we left with plans to return with more friends and family and we both felt that a quick meal and a catch up had turned into a special evening .More

The fixed price lunch menu was an excellent choice, competitively priced and great taste combinations. The service was impeccable, our server Patricia was astute, friendly and the overall atmosphere was wonderful. Ocean views available even without window seats.

I suspect it hasn’t yet but the easiest way to find out is to phone either of the sister businesses, the Waterfront just down at West Hoe or the Edgecumbe pub over at Cremyll.
