Miller & Carter Steakhouse in Plymouth

Upon booking I did specify it was for my partners birthday and the waitress even asked when we were seated to confirm whose birthday it was. Unfortunately then, despite this nothing at all was done to acknowledge his birthday. I understand there was a bit of drama with a burst pipe upstairs, this affected our table and as there were no other tables free we did need to go upstairs and eat dessert on the balcony. We were kindly offered a goodwill gesture of free desserts for the inconvenience of us having no table. I was just a little disappointed you mentioned about his birthday then nothing came of it. Good tasty although service was a bit slow with some meals coming out much earlier than others. Kind regards Claire

Absolutely outstanding steak house probably one of the best I’ve been to! The food was absolutely outstanding full of flavour. Our server called Eva was incredible! Pat in the back for her. She was very helpful and extremely kind. I would 100% recommend coming here to try it out. The food came out quite quickly and was stunning!

We were invited to come to Miller & Carter for dinner by our friends and were looking forward to what we thought would be a nice meal but sadly, was not impressed. The food lacked flavour - looked pretty as it was presented well but it tasted of nothing; I had the calamari starter and all I could taste was the mayonnaise sauce that accompanied it. My steak was cooked nicely and the fries were crispy but I couldn't taste the steak or the garlic sauce on top at all and again, whilst the red wine sauce looked nice, it lacked depth and it just tasted a little bit sweet. I don't know whether it was because they were busy and didn't have time or because the food they buy maybe just isn't hitting the mark? I would recommend Positano (Italian) or Steak & Omelette in Plymouth; Both restaurants are fantastic and probably cheaper. For four of us, the bill was nearly £400. We did question mine and my partners because we had the three courses for £33.95 but when looking at the bill, our food had been priced separately, which made it a lot more expensive than we thought it was going to be. This was identified as being a mistake and they did add the reduction but that only took £20 off which still didn't make sense? However, we were out with friends and enjoying the evening with them so didn't want to cause a fuss. The only star of the show was Nikki, our waitress. She was lovely, so friendly and accommodating so thank you to her :).

Amazing service and food. First visit a couple of weeks ago and planning to go again this week. Food was exceptional and for somewhere more expensive it was very reasonable! Loved it!

We arrived (5 of us - one 79 year old, who is also disabled), on a hot day, and were offered a table outside. Due to theheat wave and the fact we were sat next to a car park, we asked to be moved inside. It was EMPTY, and remained that way for the duration of our visit, but the waitress was extremely rude and difficult. She did not want us inside and made it very clear. She refused to let us sit in various places we suggested (remember no other covers) and in the end ‘eventually’ and rudely gestured to a table of ten seats. During this time, my father had to sit down (as he is unable to keep standing for a certain amount of time) - at which point they said he would have to move from there. we sat down and were ready to make our order, but we felt very unwelcome. If my dad didn’t find moving around and travel so painfully difficult, we would certainly have left. Food was bog standard for this type of chain, (although the mushy peas looked like they had been sitting in the sun all day and a questionable colour). one waitress was far more polite - which helped, but we were pleased to be leaving and certainly will never return. Not surprising there was no one else there with that type of welcome.

My friend and I had a lovely evening and enjoyed our food. The staff and our server Nikki was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The other servers all had smiles on their faces and the atmosphere was great. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Good portion sizes. Will be back

Came for lunch today it was amazing! Thank you Brendan and team! Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing you again soon

We tried this restaurant out over two years ago as my partner is a steak aficionado, we both loved the meal then and we have only just managed to return for another. Our waitress was cheerful, attentive and efficient. Nice comfortable interior. Our food came up quickly, although it's fair to say that it was reasonably quiet at the time. I'm glad that the menu is still much the same as before. The food was of excellent quality and the steaks very tender. My only criticism is that my steak was a "Medium" not a "Medium Well". I chose not to send it back as this would have meant eating at a different time to my partner, and decided to get over my squeamishness and turn a blind eye. I have to say that it was delicious and tender, but to my eye, a little off-putting which detracts from the enjoyment. We made room for desert which was served with a touching little tribute to our special occasion. Hope we don't have to wait so long for a return visit.

Came here with my partner for our anniversary meal. The waitress was very lovely and friendly how ever the rest of our experience was not great. First they didn’t have the starter and the main I wanted which fair enough it was busy how ever no one told us nor was their any signs before we sat and picked. My food then came out but was cold so had to be sent back, my partner had the steak so he ate his so his didn’t go cold but meant we went for a meal together but I had to sit and watch him eat then he had to sit and wait while mine eventually came out, food was nice but the whole point we went for an anniversary meal was to enjoy it together but that was the complete opposite. Considering it’s more expensive than most places you expect the standard to be higher but this was not the case. Probably wouldn’t return.

Definitely worth a visit! friendly staff, and plenty of choices for meat eaters and vegetarians. Desserts are also very good.

The staff was absolutely lovely, very attentive to both of us. Made us both feel very welcomed, I really enjoyed my time. The girl that served us was absolutely a delight and the food was such good value for money. Such a beautiful venue, a must to see in Plymouth!

Good value lunchtime menu with a small range of food choices besides steak. The location on the Barbican waterfront with adjacent free parking is a major plus. The old building has a terrific atmosphere and makes for a special place to have a meal..

Visited for my mum's birthday. We had starters, mains and a couple of us had desserts, food and service was great. As my mum was too full for a dessert, the waitress brought out a plate with happy birthday written in chocolate sauce, with a little fruit and a small pastry so she didn't feel left out. It was a lovely touch which was unexpected!

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at M&C, the staff were amazingly attentive, without being in your face. We had the Showcase Menu. I had the cauliflower wings and my wife had the avocado prawn starter. The avocado dish was a little lacking in avocado but still nice. We both had steaks for our main, fillet and ribeye. Both were perfectly cooked and very tasty. The beef dripping sauce was perfect accomplimant for the meat. We finished the meal with lemon cheesecake and bannoffee pie. Again all food was amazing. The staff treated us to complimentary fizz on arrival and a 25th anniversary board with chocolate sauce ( see the photo). The wine choice was an Argentinian malbec a great tasting wine. We would thoroughly recommend M&C.

Great place , service and food, but won’t come again as the staff regarding tips, wages and hours are treated terribly

Beautifully prepared and presented meal.Staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. Ate of the luchtime deal menu which was excellent value for money.

Great food and wonderful service from Eva (I think that was her name) sirloin steak was to die for.

Service was great and food was excellent ,great atmosphere as was very busy looking forward to another visit !

Just scraped a 4 Went with my wife and friends, 2 of the orders were for steak well done, on arrival all looked good, first cuts from the ends were according to them both was brilliant, then it went wrong, the middle was a lovely shade of pink. A waiter was called, very apologetic and seemed genuinely concerned, both plates were taken away to be 'sorted' When the plates were returned all appeared OK, but both said although they were now well done they were not exceptional, my wife did finish hers. We have no idea how the steaks were recooked to bring them from internally rare to well done, but it was surprising that a company which has a reputation for steak could get this so badly wrong, as after all they expect you to pay good money for their food. It took took the edge off the evening which is a shame, as the staff and service was excellent. If it wasn't for this one thing I would have given a score of 5. We will give them another chance, as hopefully this is a one off.

We used to come here often but over the last 18 months we thought the quality of food had gone downhill so we visited less frequently. However, we came on a Sunday lunchtime more recently and thought the food had got a bit better, for the first time in a long time the onion loaf was not a black, burnt to a cinder, mess. Someone however needs to tell the more mature waitress that she is beyond rude. She is loud and over the top helpful at your table but we spent 2 hours sat near the bar and kitchen listening to her gossip so rudely about each of her tables, it was entertaining for no more than 5 minutes, it was embarrassing to listen to. We even over-tipped for fear of how rude she would be about us. Ant chance, when its quiet that 2 people can be sat on a table for 4 rather than in awkward spaces and corners? But, food definitely better, the 3 stars is because of your rude staff member.

Pleasant atmosphere, great food at reasonable prices especially lunchtime. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it.

Unplanned midweek lunch. Had two courses from the lunchtime menu. Fantastic food and fantastic service. Can’t beat a nice lunchtime treat

a very good meal enjoyed by myself and my wife, food could have been warmer, and the prices could have been cheaper for what you actually get on you plate. Service was with a smile, and nothing was rushed about the night

Normally we are very pleased with our visits here, however today’s visit was disappointing. There were seven of us and five meals were excellent but two were very poor. Although my husband and I had the same meal of 50 day aged ribeye mine was...

Excellent food and amazing service from our waitress Molly she could not do enough for us very attentive 10/10. Would definitely come again.

Visited on a very quiet week night. Food was very good as was the service. It was very quiet and we didn’t have to wait long for out meals. Would certainly return in the future.

Really disappointing first experience of Miller & Carter that fell way short of expectation & the reviews on this site. Several of the menu items were unavailable and out of stock. We requested for starters and mains to come out together as we mistakenly imagined...

Great food and super service from Jack, he was very busy but still managed a smile and was very polite. Would definitely visit again.

Service was good, food good so overall a pleasant experience. I went for Sea Bass which was on the small side but appears to be the norm these days, would we visit again? perhaps when the town centre is the meeting location.

You can't go wrong here, such a tidy clean restaurant. Food was amazing and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming.

I went to an M&C a few years back - really liked it. The Plymouth one was shocking. The fillet steak was one of, if not the worst fillets I have had. And it cost £30! The vegetarian options for my wife limited and her...

Eva on Saturday lunch provided great service and really helped with the kids. Food was good and all staff pleasant. Nice to see they have cut staff right now

First time visiting. Decidedly average. The menu lacks decent choice for those that aren’t steak eaters. The food was not of outstanding quality. The £30.50 fillet steak was ok but not brilliant like it should be for that price. Improvement needed on the lack lustre...

We had an excellent meal and extremely helpful, friendly waitress. Service was outstanding and we were served with drinks on arrival. We will definitely return.
