Rhodes at The Dome in Plymouth - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely wedding anniversary for us. The food was excellent, great service, happy staff, and a lovely day for us to remember. Well done and thank you.

Somewhat disappointed to be honest! The ambience and views were great just like they were online but the food was below average and the service was super slow despite the restaurant being pretty quiet for what I would expect for a Friday night.

One of the worst meals we’ve ever had in Plymouth. We ordered a pork Sunday roast, a beef Sunday roast and the fish of the day (happened to be plaice). The Sunday roast meats were both completely overcooked, they were both served with bland rubbery vegetables that seemed like they’d been cooked, reheated, reheated once more, and reheated yet again within an inch of their lives. The beef Sunday roast was inedible and was sent back. The fish of the day was also bland, lacked basic seasoning and the vegetables were sat in a buttery-oily-water. Our food came before the drinks order, had to chase drinks. Service overall was far from good. Considering the location and stunning view on offer this was utterly disappointing and completely over priced, we will not be going back.

Very delicious breakfast and kind service.

Great breakfast with an offer, new Turkish breakfast 5 star, Lovely view and service.

Visited for a vegan afternoon tea, a treat from my better half. Absolutely amazing. Couldn't fault the food or the service, but would have been better if fellow diners hadn't decided that the restaurant was the place to face time their family. We will definitely be returning.

Fantastic vegan breakfast which was buy one get one free. Two breakfasts, tea and coffee for less than £20. Good service and friendly staff. Loved it!

We have been there for breakfast in the morning before 12 and there was 10 minutes left to order breakfast . Once we arrived bartender said that we got 10 minutes to order and asked us to take a sit . So we sit and waiting for waitress and after ages i went to her to ask we could place an order . She said breakfast serving time is over . Such a ignorant staff . Although it was not busy and was very quiet .

Took mum for lunch, and we both had a great meal. I went for the Caesar salad with truffle fries. Thoroughly recommended! Will definitely return.

Went for a gold wedding anniversary meal with our friends. It was looked really very nice unfortunately the flavour of garlic was over my steak which I hate and I think it should have said as I wouldn't have ordered it. Other wise the chips were nice. And the dessert was very light. The restaurant was very clean and tidy and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The toilets were clean but a bit small.

Had a lovely evening at Ocean View Plymouth, the staff are smart, polite and very helpful. The atmosphere was lovely, the restaurant was beautiful. Amazing view over Plymouth sound. The food was absolutely amazing! Menu was good and quite reasonable in terms of price, not the cheapest but the meal was brilliant. I will 100 percent return as it was such a great evening. Thank you 😊

Thought the food overall was very good. Didn't manage to get sat in main restaurant so eat in bar area. The service was very poor. Messed up drinks order 3 times, asked for sauses to come out with food, never came. Was ignored for a long time to order my food.

To avoid. Pitiful welcome. We were left waiting and trying to explain anything to us. Few people that day.

We went to the Ocean View (The Dome) to have brunch on my partner's birthday. We were greeted and seated with a sea view. This really is a fabulous venue. We were served so well by Rowen who was so delightful she immediately raised the value of our experience there. Beautiful smile and so engaging, we asked after her accent and she told us she was from Minnesota. Her service was exceptional. We both ordered the Full Engish breakfast and I asked for no mushrooms at which Rowen offered an alternative item. The food was beautifully cooked and presented and Rowen returned to the table to asked if everything was fine with the meal, which it most certainly was. We eat out on a regular basis and what generally makes a difference is the quality of the service. The service we received at Ocean View puts so many other establishments in the shade. As a result we will be returning for their afternoon tea and my partner has also arranged with some girlfriends to go out for dinner. Thank you for making a Birthday treat so special on a rainy day and with special thanks to Rowen who provided the sunshine!

Absolutely amazing dining experience, minimum five star rating. The Chef and team created something very special. Bravo and thank you.

Went here for lunch as we wanted something other than fish and chips. The service from all the staff was polite and very friendly. The food was excellent. All in all I would definitely go back again.

Wonderful service from all the staff. Was lucky to get a window seat but this cannot be booked or reserved it’s just luck of the draw if you get one. Food was great with a nice range of options. Great views over the bay.

A shame that a beautifully located restaurant with lovely decor and great marketing does not live up to its advertising. Our steaks were considerably overcooked (I ordered rare and it was more like medium-well), just about warm and the sauces were cold. The restaurant area was cold too - another table even moved away from the AC unit and was questioned by a waiter who said “has she told you that you can move?!”. Sat for a long time with our plates at the end until we asked for the bill ourselves. It wasn’t particularly busy as it was a Wednesday evening. A poor experience for £28 steak each.

A stunning view wherever you sit. Food was amazing, second to none. All the food was homemade and delicious. The staff were spectacular. Polite, civil and they all had a great smile on their faces. I would definitely recommend visiting the Dome. It is no more costly than anywhere else but it is definitely far better food than I have eaten in a long,long time.

Went for afternoon tea as a party of 12. Unfortunately this was a disappointing experience. Lovely decor and amazing view but very disappointing service. Poor welcome, tea was served about halfway through the us eating and we had to go up and ask for milk. Some water glasses missing. One of our wooden shelfs that the afternoon tea is served had chunks of dust and fluff on the top. There was plenty of staff, but as we left, despite us saying good bye nobody answered or said thank you. We had no check back to see how things were. The food was alright but both the food and the bitty service would mean I wouldn't return and that's without taking into account the poor hygiene shown on the wooden display.

There is good and bad, 12 qualified patisserie chefs went for an afternoon tea to celebrate the end of our six hour synoptic level three exam, I can’t knock the food what we had was very good but the service was atrocious considering we were the only table in there on Monday afternoon, loads was forgotten we had to ask for including the milk and sugar for the tea and coffee they finally brought over, we never got our glass of champagne until we asked for it, then we all had to pass the champagne down the table like a school dinners! the wooden windows that contains the patisserie was cute but left them there even after we had finished eating from them so you had to chat to the person opposite you through a wooden slatted window which was a bit annoying and a bit ridiculous, so all in all, it just seems that they couldn’t be bothered to ensure you had a lovely time and if anything the atmosphere felt like you was a hindrance to them and they would’ve been happier if you hadn’t of turned up, this was not only the opinion of myself but quite a few of the others felt the same so go if you want and if you don’t get the right service make sure they know about it and I really hope they read this and make changes, because they really spoiled our celebration day and would not go back again!

We have been to Ocean View quite a few times before and recently we hosted some friends for a dinner at this location and I am very much impressed with the quality of service and food. We ordered most of the menu items in the menu and all of them tasted fresh and very flavourful. Sticky Ox cheek was to die for and the Tiramisu is heavenly. Menu could do better with a few more chicken options as the only chicken option we had was the salad. Our go to order before was a Lamb Confetti dish and that’s no longer in the menu which was bit of a bummer. If you are a sea food lover, you need to order their Sea food sharer from the sharing starters. Everything we ordered arrived on time and every dish was aesthetically pleasing. The cocktails were pretty and yum. Staff were very friendly as always and everyone enjoyed the meal. You need to do a preorder with them if you have more than 6pax and do a deposit when booking, it might look like a bit of a hassle, but it reduces a lot of stress when you arrive at the location. We were all stuffed to the brim and super happy when we left. Shoutout to Lihini who was our server for the evening. Keep up the good work and will definitely be back again.

Celebrated a birthday as a group of 7. The atmosphere was lovely and the choice of food was great and a very competitive price. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Went with a group of 8 for Sunday lunch. The place wasn’t too busy, the service was reasonable and the food was fine. Nothing outstanding but certainly not bad. The decor is good, and the views are fantastic!

Lovely location with a great view out over the water. Unfortunately, we were there on a foggy day, so couldn't see loads. Lovely meal, though, and Michael, our waiter, was a lovely, friendly, smiley man. Thank you!

Ordered luxury hot chocolate. When almost finished brought out small plate of mini marshmallows as they forgot to put them in the hot chocolate!!!!

Highly recommend beautiful views, lovely food with generous portions, exceptional service and relaxed atmosphere.

Good food but really poor and unpleasant service. The waiter in the restaurant was rude both when welcoming and when placing the order. Not to say anything at the moment in which he practically invited us to leave because the table would be occupied half an hour later. An experience not to be repeated, a shame because the place deserves a lot.

Went in for breakfast (didn’t book). Not much of a welcome. No instructions as to whether it was table service or order at the bar. Dogs are allowed. This can be seen as a good or bad thing. No interaction from staff. I’m not sure if it is meant to be like that or if they were just busy. There was the 2 for 1 offer on breakfasts at the time. Food took a while but it was delicious. Fresh and hot. Obviously you can’t beat those views from your table.

So disappointed in our meal at The Dome. We had a lovely seat in the window but the service was shocking. It took a while to take our order but it took even longer to serve the food. We asked for no sauce on the burgers but that didn’t happen. We didn’t send them back for fear of it taking so much longer. Nobody spoke to us during our wait or asked if we would like any more drinks. When they asked about the food it had only just been served (different waitress). Then it took them 30mins to clear the table after we had finished. They weren’t that busy and plenty my staff just waiting at the serving hatch rather than checking on tables. Finally we had to ask for the table to be cleared and the dessert menu which they forgot to bring and had to ask again. My steak was lovely but the burgers and catch of the day was awful. The dessert was more cream than meringue so disappointing. We left with no further drinks as we worried it would take half an hour. Disappointed as it was my birthday meal.

Great food,great service but iam not fond of dogs in a food establishment,had cream tea and excellent,I've had many cream teas and one of the best

Beautiful restaurant with stunning views. Service was friendly and the food was lovely, but we had to wait over an hour for our main course.

My visit here was a belated mothers day treat, and what an amazing experience we had, the place is awesome, the decor is stunning, the staff very attentive, the food was gorgeous and the view, well it doesn't get much better than Plymouth sound.

Fantastic food, wine and service. First time here visiting our son who’s at Uni. Have just booked for his graduation. Would recommend 👍

A great lunchtime experience. The waitress, Safia was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and cheerful snd engaging too. The food was excellent value for money and very tasty. Beautiful views across Plymouth Sound and the room was warm and comfortable. I'll be back.

Go for the view. Call to book and request for a table with a view. Food is alright, can be better but the view is beautiful. Staff present are kind and helpful. Would definitely visit again for the view.

Fantastic service. Food was excellent and reasonable price.

Expected more. Food is below average at best, tasteless and expensive. Then we were told to vacate the table after paying not good.

Ocean View at the Dome is truly an amazing place! As the name suggests, you can enjoy a wonderful ocean view. There are stylish restaurants and bars inside the dome, where you can enjoy delicious food and drinks. Especially in the evening, the view of the sun setting over the sea is so beautiful that it is recommended for a romantic dinner! There are also cafes and shops, so you can relax and have fun looking for souvenirs! Visit with your friends and family and have the best time!

Have eaten here a few times for all services and have mostly enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately the last two breakfast sittings have been disappointing. On both occasions the tomato has been cold and almost raw. For me a cooked tomato should bring out the natural sweetness of the fruit, but not here! The poached eggs on both plates on both occasions have been luke warm and slightly underdone. I can forgive the cooking but not the heat. Love the coffee and the staff are great and it's in a great position but the breakfast could do with some improvement

"Our visit to the Ocean View Restaurant in Plymouth was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The breathtaking ocean view paired with the charming ambiance instantly set the tone for a delightful dining experience. We traveled all the way from London to explore this quaint town, and stumbling upon this gem was truly a stroke of luck. Not only were we treated to a mesmerizing view, but the food surpassed all expectations. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and expertly crafted with fresh, local ingredients. From succulent seafood to savory mains, every bite was a celebration of coastal cuisine. The attentive staff ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of perfection, offering helpful recommendations and catering to our every need. Their passion for hospitality shone through, making us feel like valued guests throughout our meal. In summary, the Ocean View Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Plymouth. With its stunning view, delectable cuisine, and impeccable service, it's no wonder we highly recommend this hidden gem to fellow travelers. We can't wait to return and savor another unforgettable dining experience by the sea."

Went in with my daughter (in a pram)today 2pm only to book a table for next Saturday for myself and my partner , was left standing there no one came across to me at the entrance just gave me filthy looks … won’t be booking there very rude staff

Excellent and welcoming staff. Our waitress, Rebecca was lovely and very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious & so flavourful! Best roast I have had in a long time alongside the most amazing sticky toffee pudding. Beautiful location and setting too.

Lovely view, great location. Friendly staff. Dogs allowed in cafe area, and doggy treats. Great Cappuchino. Clean and well presented.

WOW. Firstly what a beautiful Art Deco conversion from this interesting, historic building. When you walk in the space has the wow factor, the staff welcomed us and took us to our table over looking the sea with panoramic views. I love the attention to detail here with beautiful crockery and furnishings. The waitress from Argentina was so professional and couldn’t do Enough for us. My starter, which was a scotch egg, was cooked perfectly! Crispy shell and a soft egg in the middle. My main course the pork belly was so tender with crispy crackling and I loved the bubble and squeak. It was also a great main course size. The sticky toffee pudding was so light and fluffy. With clotted cream it was the perfect choice. Really the best I’ve had for a long time. The restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night which gave it a lovely atmosphere. The head chef Dav is doing an excellent job! You should Go. Plymouth should be very pleased to have this venue.

Went for lunch and it was excellent.

I’m totally in love with the art deco theme inside this lovely place! Such a wonderful atmosphere and the view over Plymouth sound is stunning. I visited with some friends for lunch; opted for the Korean chicken wing starter and the truffle & Parmesan chips (I’m glad I only ordered the starter, wouldn’t have been able to manage any more wings!). Food was fresh, tasty, and most importantly served hot! Staff were polite and attentive without being overbearing. Would like to give special thanks to the waiter who took our payment (I think his name was Michael, he said he’d not been working there long), who was nice enough to take our photo. Highly recommend, perfect little lunch spot! Also the Smeaton’s mess dessert is to die for 🤤

We visited on Saturday 6th January at 2pm for our family Christmas that we always celebrate after with family from Leeds and Wales, the food was great, the service was awful, the staff were so miserable and very unfriendly, never smiled or spoke to us apart from asking who had ordered what when they brought the food out. Probably won't return due to this. As customer service is what we like as a friendly family ourselves

Brilliant place to eat...the staff cannot do enough for you...they really do go the extra mile....good prices...really good atmosphere..well worth the trip for the special occasion...or just a date night..and the chefs are brilliant....

We went yesterday for a meal 11 of us, the staff were miserable, rude and the service was slow. My dad was waiting 25 mins for a drink. Staff didn't even smile were unfriendly. Food was dry and not cooked properly.

Highly recommend this restaurant wether for a coffee, cocktails, or a meal. The views during the day are fantastic, out to sea. The decor is so elegant it makes you feel special just for being there. The food is extremely good and the staff are the icing on the cake. Cannot wait to go back.

Took my mum for lunch this week and nothing was too much trouble, was greeted with a beautiful window seat over looking the ocean and had the most amazing service from Corey, he couldn’t do enough for us and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Thank you Corey.

Lovely for a little reunion, great food

We visited ocean view for an evening birthday meal. I had booked a table for 5 at least a month in advance and my special requests were to be sat by a window seat.. I understand that this request cannot always be fulfilled but this was already a disappointing start. It took a while to get a staffs member attention but when I eventually did, I asked to be moved to a better table and at first the staff member I spoke to said there was no round table available. Yet all of us could see that there was. I then asked a second time and a manager eventually Sorted this and moved us to to a round table at the back of the restaurant that we were ok with. I’m not sure why this wasn’t sorted the first time I asked? I was also disappointed that the other special request I made over the phone which was to have a suprise birthday dessert sent to our table never happened. I could have spoken to staff but to be honest the atmosphere at the restaurant was not what we expected. The food was average and I feel that the staff weren’t attentive even though there was lots of staff working that evening. Our bottle of wine was not poured when brought to the table. And not once did any staff come over and ask how our food was. I wouldn’t rush to return I feel that this restaurant is sadly underwhelming. Which is a shame as this restaurant has so much potential.

Beautiful spot with great vegan options

Food was average actually the dessert the was great recommend the sticky toffee pudding and lemon cheesecake, but the sunday roast- beef was poor. Barely any meat and the beef was thinly sliced like it came from a sandwich filler. Great atmosphere and service, maybe come here to try other food.

Victoria, our host, provided an excellent service and made us feel comfortable. The food was delicious and we were impressed by the quality for the cost. We shall definitely be returning in the future.

Went for a quiet evening meal for two was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. I had the two course meal calamari was beautiful for the starters and steak was lovely would highly recommend.

So an update on my last review, which was a while ago. No change in the Bar, great location and view and of course the drinks. However since then we've been for dinner and I can honestly say it's well worth the visit. Great value, excellent service and great food. We loved it, and we will have dinner again. Cheers Ocean View! Previous Review - We've been watching the development of the Dome for a while and on the 1st November it opened. So what did we do? We checked it out. When we ventured in you could say they still had the soft opening in progress, however what a venue. Great interior and the view is outstanding. The staff are well presented, still finding their feet but a great effort. We had a couple of cocktails, a Espresso Martini and a Gin Sling. Over all a well deserved effort on their first few days. Good luck and well be back.

Absolutely amazing food, full of creativity and flavours. Customer service is top class. Highly recommended to anyone!!!

Beautiful setting with great food and atmosphere. Not cheap but not as expensive as I thought it might be.

Lovely coffee and good big sandwich and very polite friendly service

Visited and dined after Graduation Event as a celebratory family meal. Wonderful service from the whole Ocean View crew. Efficient and attentive crew members from the Bar Team, Welcome Host and Waiting Staff. Food choices catering for all requirements and not overpriced as some places can be. Will definitely visit again when back in Plymouth and would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you for being the perfect end destination for such a special day.

Spent my late afternoon on Monday there with a mocktail and some savory snack. At this moment of the day, the bar was totally empty. The interior and sea view is gorgeous with more space downstairs but I didn’t explore.

We love it. Staff amazing. Never had a bad day with service.

Lovely place for dinner to celebrate a special occasion or not!

My wife tried to sort out a booking through the app, completely stressed us all out and we haven’t even got there. Why have you made a pleasurable event so difficult. Bin your app and start treating your customers with respect.

Sorry, but this place has really gone down since it opened. It used to be so good - a bit special. This was our fourth visit - maybe our last. We wanted a pre-theatre meal with early cocktails, so booked a table for 6.00, arrived at 5.00. They seem extremely short staffed - all very nice but only one person serving in the bar. No table service and had to wait ten minutes at the bar. Drinks a bit spilt and lacked pzazz - had to go and fetch little mats to wipe up. Got to our dinner table at 6.00 and ordered immediately - three salads nicoise, three glasses of wine. The salads were not great - loads of green beans and red onion, an egg, little sole fillets and some garnish, took 40 minutes to arrive. Knocked them back, paid and left.

We felt it was a bit pricey. Would have liked a fried egg but only poached on the menu which came as a hard yolk and bacon was undercooked. My daughter's scrambled egg was Luke earm. No other person was dining which is always a bit uncomfortable. Beautiful place, we looked at the afternoon/evening menu and felt for us the food was too fancy/different so would not go, however it must appeal to some. We will not be returning as we wanted to see what it was like whilst the offer of buy one get one half price breakfast.

We popped in for a drink earlier. Greeted by Saffie who was warm and friendly. The bar tender was polite but didn't really seem inviting and the coffee he made wasn't great but drinkable. G

Had a nice cream tea, great views of Plymouth sounds with nice warm scones and plenty of jam and clotted cream. Staff attentive and friendly.

Went for a cream tea, delicious warm scones with plenty of cream and jam. Staff friendly and a great view.

I popped in here with my advisor from Cancer Research for a cup of tea and a chat about my next challenge. There were lovely views from the comfortable seating areas, the staff were happy and welcoming. I will visit again.

What a marvelous sight. The lighthouse is beautiful

charged extra for bread with the £30 charcuterie, which was stale. Poor management

Fabulous building and decor, delicious food and friendly staff, what more could you ask for! Oh and a spectacular view! Sticky toffee pudding was to die for! We will be back!

I'll give 5 stars for the best experience, stylish place, fine food, very nice service, kind people, in touch by the ocean and I can't wait to come back again! ❤️ Many thanks from Romania! 🎉

Such a disappointment as the chef seems to dictate even after the lovely serving team agreed the simplist request of a slice of toast over a muffin.... Asked to pay more after we had paid and were waiting for the order by the chef. When queried the staff member was back to say he wouldn't do it and it's as it comes. I have an intolerance so could not eat the toasted muffin but did not see an issue having a slice of brown bread as an alternative. They would not accomodate and even said they would not dare to challenge the chef! Very poor service and a huge disappointment as we could not enjoy Father's Day brunch together. The remaining food took an incredibly long time to arrive. Terrible service from the kitchen which overruled an order which had been agreed and taken by a lovely man. Overruling front of house and refusing a simple request is appalling. Ego over service it seems.

Great venue, fantastic views, excellent food and attentive/friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Went yesterday with 3 others for a breakfast. We all had the full English and it was excellent. Great view and service. I will be back.

Don’t bother with the surf and turf but everything else about the restaurant is lovely

Stylish bar and cafe themed on an art deco style ocean liner. I love it. You know you're in a good place when they make so much effort to make the restrooms loom equally stylish. Recommended.

Badly positioned outdoor seating and drinks are a little over priced for what they are, the view doesn't make up for it unfortunately

Best night ever food was incredible and staff so friendly Eve the girl from Co Down was nicest person ever made are night very special Highly recommend

Lovely meal, excellent service, friendly atmosphere.

Lovely location and surroundings but service from all levels llacking in friendliness and totally unprofessional. Will not return.

I took a work colleague for a meeting on Friday evening. We sat down and went to order a drink at the bar. At this point a female supervisor walked over to the bar staff and whispered something. Victoria at the bar then went on to say that her supervisor (Brook) had said they were not allowed to serve us! To my absolute horror as I have never been into you before. She went on to say that the reason we could not be served was unbelievably because my college was “friends with someone who used to work there”! (Victoria was extremely apologetic and seemed embarrassed by the situation) Is this how you operate? Because as a business owner myself I am absolutely appalled. I would be mortified if a member of my staff treated a customer on this way. Personal grudges for friends of ex employees?! Unbelievable! Brook you really need some customer service training and I can not believe that you are the manager. This is playground stuff not something that should go on in a respectable business premises. I have since emailed the managers with zero response. Awful customer service!

The vegan afternoon tea was the best we've had. The service was very good and the atmosphere was nice as well. I would highly recommend.

What a lovely place! Loved the vibe, decor, views, food and drinks. Perfect place for a celebratory meal. 10/10 would recommend.

Great cream tea stunning views great sandwiches lovely place spotless very friendly staff !

My friend & I had a fabulous afternoon tea today which was very tasty & plentiful . We were served by a lovely young man named Luke . The venue I was perfect & the view was amazing .

Had a lovely sharing board here last time so thought I’d try a hot meal.. Waitress showing us to our seat was pleasant enough but her outfit was in appropriate, it was too short, almost see through and very tight with stains. I had the pork with bubble n squeak.. would have liked the unusual b&s crisper..was difficult to identify the content.. although quite tasty. Needed apple sauce.. Maybe tone down the music choice as the venue is very echoey.. .At £22 not a meal to order often for what it was

Amazing tasty food .Waiter was excellent ,great service. Would I go again absolutely.

Couldn't fault the place, service or food.

Went here for our valentine meal and everything was perfect

Food was decent. Teriyaki sandwich, fillet fish for kid, Caesar chicken sandwich for another. Caesar sandwich also came with a free eye lash. Had to clear own table and ask for cutlery twice. Not good service for the price. Disappointed and expected better.

Rude staff members don’t care about customers No any signs that they are not serving food due to the event

We went for roast beef, it was cooked well and just enough to make you feel like dessert.. we did however, wait a long time for the start, and then between start and main and even longer for dessert. We were not in a rush but it was just too slow. The staff were great, and winelist is good. It's worth a visit, for sure.

Lovely surprise. Lovely atmosphere, really lovely staff. Vegan options available. I had coffee and cake. Cake wasn't brilliant but coffee was very good. Will come again.

A lovely cup of coffee with an amazing view
