Rockfish in Plymouth

Sadly very disappointing. Both my wife who is vegetarian and myself who isnt, joked that we might have Covid due to the food being so tasteless. Not only was the food poor, it was over priced for what it was, an over priced want to be posh chip shop. The two star rating was only given due to the attentive and pleasant staff. The only restaurant we have been in Plymouth that we would not go to again.

Always my favourite seafood spot in Plymouth, we had a lovely meal here with my parents and husband. Food was delicious, staff was great (shoutout to Becky!) despite a mishap having forgotten one of our meals. This was quickly resolved.

Lovely food and fantastic service by Becky, plenty of choice with the food and drinks. So glad we chose to go to rockfish and we will definitely be going there again.

Becky our server was amazing , friendly and knowledgeable- We had delicious food and an amazing time, will definitely be returning.

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful. They could use a few more drinks options as two of our party found it very difficult to find something they wanted (maybe a few more spirits and mixers)

Very nice food at Rockfish. Delicious Brill with homemade Tartar sauce! The pack they make for kids (£1) is very good and kept our little ones happy. Service could have been more attentive given how quiet it was.

rockfish rules, you’re the best guys

I used the take away with their once a month £5 deal. Worth it Cannot comment on the restaurant

A great restaurant, high priced but good quality food. Compared to other eateries in Devon/Cornwall the fish dishes are above averagely priced. However, fish and chips (hake) is a decent portion and service here is great. It is a scenic spot with views over the harbour/marina.

We really enjoyed our meal here! I am not a big seafood lover but my partner was desperate to go here so we went one evening and I’m so glad we did. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and came out quickly and the restaurant is just lovely, really nice interior and the location isn’t half bad either.

Excellent restaurant serving really fresh fish. I visited twice for dinner, then lunch. Friendly and helpful staff. Will visit again.

This was recommended by the hotel we stayed at for an evening. The food was OK somewhat expensive for what you got The service was OK; the staff were not very interested in the customers considering they were not exactly that busy.

Great fiver fish and chip night. Will definitely go back next month, such a bargain and very tasty fresh fish.

Cheap take away that doesn't sacrifice quality. Follow their social media accounts for opening times. Great view of Plymouth sound!

Had a lovely family time at Rockfish. It's light airy with fabulous views, we had a table with a view of the boats sailing by. We all chose differently and everyone's food looked and tasted delicious. Several families there, all having good time. Fab place.

Bad and rude service, fish & chips were good but the rest of the food was very mediocre and tasteless. Wouldn’t recommend this venue

We stopped in after visiting the aquarium and the staff were very accommodating finding a table for 8. We had the rock fillets and haddock and it was delicious. Our kids ate free and the unlimited chips were a great touch. Everything came out hot and fresh and the service was quick and the staff were super friendly. If you’re in Plymouth it’s absolutely worth a visit. Thank you for a great experience.

Let's see the Frito misto for £23 very poor, 2 piece of each, I was starving after 1 hours, yes you have unlimited chips... But I don't come to a place like this to eat unlimited chips... Very poor, my friend asked Norwegian fish and chips.. £19 with the outside in very poor breadcrumbs... Much better fish and chips of Wetherspoon to be honest. The girls very nice, that is true. And beer... Local small can beer from Cornwall... £4.50 , not very cold and 330ml. Well. But the price with the quality and quantity of the food... It was not worthy.

Came in today and luckily they had a table available for me and my son. We both had fish and chips which was delicious and the best I’ve had in a long time. I also ordered the mushy peas with curry sauce and wow this was amazing! The waiting staff were all lovely. Couldn’t fault anything. We’ll be back again soon to try something else on the menu!

Visited this evening with my husband and had a lovely experience! Wonderful service from Jen, who looked after us - very helpful and nothing too much trouble. The food was lovely, and they were very accommodating for gluten free. I highly recommend the plaice grilled in garlic butter if it’s available. The bottomless chips were a nice touch too, especially seeing as my husband has a never ending appetite!

Wonderful selection of fresh fish available and the service was amazing

Cod was absolutely beautiful, crisp light batter as well. Excellent.

Had the fresh brill. It tasted delicious and so fresh. Loved the unlimited fries. Good service too, thanks.

Lovely fish and chips served in a great location and stunning views.

Our second visit to eat in the outside area. The food is lovely, with generous portion sizes. The staff are friendly and helpful.

We ate in the outside area with a great value Haddock & chips. Quick friendly service, good food, even the utensils supplied were ok. Definitely recommend if the weather is good.

We were able to be seated by the window as walk-ins. Lovely views. The waitress was really friendly and accommodating. My brother had cod and I had the hake. Very fresh fish and both beautifully cooked. Reasonably priced for the quality.

Great fresh fish, top service and we loved the Ocean Protector pack and the unlimited chips.

Fantastic place to visit great food great view

Rockfish has become a family tradition- we come here least twice a year on our biannual visits to Devon. This time we had some car problems and Klaudia our server was totally fantastic at providing plenty for us to eat and drink and keep our son entertained whilst we waited for our car to be fixed. The food as always was fabulous- it is firm favourite and we will continue to come back- We just wanted to say a HUGE thanks to Klaudia you were brilliant and helped us out and made it possible for us to stay longer than the allocated time in a time of crisis. Would give 6 stars if we could

First visit here. Very impressed. Could not fault staff. Food was excellent. Sea Bream had perfect crispy skin, Greek salad just devine. Fritto Misto also highly recommended. Toilets clean. Will be back.

Brilliant service, Food and atmosphere as usual. The Megrin was superb, especially. Great selection of fish dishes and drinks.

I loved it so much that I booked for a special occasion while I was there. The staff was really attentive, the food wow! I went for Lobster and Mussels and both were amazingly tasty and fresh. Nice bottle of sparkling ✨️ to go with 🥂 and to finalise a lemon tart and a Brownie so yummy. I'm returning for my 25th wedding anniversary 💕

A good place to eat fish in Plymouth although it's a bit expensive. The staff is very attentive to customers.

Our favourite seafood restaurant in Plymouth! Been here many times now and have always had good food, service and times!

Food was good, the chips could be better, to dry and hard even though you can have as much as you like. Location fantastic, recommend all the same.

Over priced , adult cod was nice but the kids fish had really thick skin on it still. Of course kids being kids wouldn't touch their food after this. So it went in the bin. 50 quid was far too much for 2 pieces of fish and 2 kids fish n chips in my opinion

Delicious food & amazing service! great spot for date night, we had a great time - can't recommend enough! Can't remember our server's name but she was lovely :)

Amazing experience this afternoon at rockfish Plymouth served by Elouise, Gerda and Jen and the service was so attentive I can’t compliment it enough We sat on the terrace in the Sun In beautiful surroundings and had 3 courses including the best oysters and scallops we’ve ever tasted! The sugrue sparkling Pinot noir was amazing as was the nyetimber and paired perfectly with the ray wing and dressed crab that we had for mains. We spent roughly 3 hours grazing and enjoying our wine and I believe this is the best place In plymouth for fresh seafood and amazing service. Thank you rockfish Plymouth for an amazing afternoon.

I came for dinner for my first time and it was my graduation meal, I was served by Rachael and she told us everything we needed to know about wine selection, fish on the menu and the special selection for the day. The wine was amazing and we got a full 3 course meal where everything was cooked to perfection and some of the best seafood I have ever had! For the best seafood and best customer service come here!

First taste of Megrim or Torbay Sole and very nice it was too. Also curried mushy peas !

Sorry. But not worth it. Pretty small portions and really basic cooking. Too expensive for what you get. Can not recommend it and will not come again.

Nice clean restaurant, food was really good, I especially enjoyed the bottomless chips. The staff were well, well informed, and made us feel welcome. My only disappointment was that there was no cod and had to try their rock fish, which wasn't as nice as cod.

A good tasty meal in pleasant surroundings

Really nice sitting outside and eating really nice fish and chips. On selected Fridays there is a fish and chips special for only £3, excellent quality and value. The Friday deal is now £5 for haddock and chips, half price meal and excellent quality and value. Now the traditional Friday is on a Tuesday, absolutely excellent as always. Coley tonight, what a delicious treat.

Fish was cold and food was overpriced.the portions were smaller than expected. The atmosphere is delightful however the food quality has change dramatically in the last 5 years. Anna

The service was for the most part fairly good, however there was a wait on both drinks and food. Unfortunately this wait was not made worthwhile as much of the food was waterlogged and lacking in flavour, while the drinks were not brilliant either and were generally expensive. One of the meals had to be taken off the bill as it was considerably below the standard we expected and we were given free dessert as compensation, however we both left the restaurant hungry and had to grab a quick sandwich elsewhere. It is unfortunate as we were really looking forward to it but we are not enthusiastic about visiting any Rockfish sites in future. We were sat outside for a while and someone's toddler was charging around kicking things under our table which was not ideal when we were trying to enjoy the wine.

Delicious ice creams, we had the lemon sorbet and salted caramel flavours, and one portion of fish and chips. It was huge, so easily big enough to share. Lovely view too. Very kind staff, we were able to sit down while food was cooking, and in the end it was so nice there that we stayed to eat, despite initially buying it to take away. Would recommend.

Very good fish and chips but a little expensive.

I had the char grill sea bream and it was superb! The service was very good and the price was more than fair. I'm glad to see that they have really upped their game recently.

Great food in all Rockfish restaurants. But our server in Plymouth, Elouise, was even better than the already great food. Thank you so much People make places 😊

Klaudia is very personable and knowledgeable. Amazing service!

Very over priced. The sea bream and salad was served on a breakfast plate and the salad was not any where substantial for the price For a resteraunt which shouts fresh fish, their menu has tinned fish, and seafood from other areas of the UK and further afield. Yes do have some limited locally caught seafood too. The tables wobble so it was like being at sea, but the bit I liked was the parody shipping forecast which is played in the toilets. We will not be coming back

An amazing evening with incredible food and top notch service. Thank you!

Food lovely, service efficient and friendly but I really do feel a complete meal should be given when paying 30 quid for a piece of fish, maybe the choice of sides selection could be included in the price. It still remains one of my favourite places to eat!

Been a few times, the food is great everytime. Recommend highly !

Delicious food, and even on that grey day, we been happy good place to visit 👌

We got the fish fry which looked like scraps and discarded pieces of other dishes plus the portion was half a plate for £24. Never that place again.

Overpriced ,£39;95 lemon sole REALLY !!!not much choice when we went. Order arrived without chips and salad. Girlfriend had eaten half the fish before salad arrived. Daughter unimpressed with chicken. Haddock was nice but the experience didn't match the price .

Nice but a bit pricey, was a little quiet the night we were there.

Nice Meal, perfect service, staff super friendly. Our Server Jen looked after us well. Decent food.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal here. Having visited a Rockfish at a different location, we knew what to expect and not disappointed. We hadn't booked ahead and staff helpful in finding a free table. I opted for the fish tacos with my husband choosing the Megrim, both being delicious. Staff were very attentive and friendly at all times. Decent portion sizes and we didn't need dessert.

Food took over an hour to come out. Very disappointed

Exquisite fish and shellfish! Go try it. Lovely atmosphere and kind service. Not a single complaint

Mussels were great as was the rockfish with spiced lime butter. Now a new menu but still great fish dishes

Great fresh fish, very well explained in the menu for foreign people who doesn't know all fishes in English. Very tasty, and at good price.

Had a great evening here and was really well looked after by Elouise from start to finish - will return soon!

Wanted John Dory ,but was told it's not a popular fish, it is with though!

The customer service at this restaurant was fantastic, the waitress who took care of my experience was professional, well mannered and eager to ensure I had the best experience. I visited on a Monday night so it was relatively quiet, but the restaurant has a lovely feeling and design with plenty to look at and take in, including an open kitchen. The food is fantastic quality, I enjoyed every part of it. The only fault I found was that the scallops hadn't been thoroughly cleaned and still retained a significant amount of grit/ sand which couldn't be ignored. The rest of my food was perfect with anchovy butter appertiser being my personal favourite with the light flavour of fish and strong saltyness on the crusty baguette. The servers are well trained and memorised all of the specials available for the day including the accompaniment and prices (see image where the hostess has marked the table cover) this is a simple and unique way to explain the specials.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, wonderful service from Kass, Elouise and Charlotte - thank you for a lovely evening

Stunning as always. Slowly ticking off the Rockfish's...

This spot is great for a casual night Out with friends. Good location around Barbican for drinks. Staff really friendly. Serves good food- can get quite busy later at night. Main bar area small although outside seating area and extension seating inside.

Fantastic food and attentive, informed, friendly service. Probably the best fish course I have ever had - gurnard with romesco sauce - taste and cooking were perfect. Special thanks to our waitress Abi.

Super service, warm and friendly greeting and lovely food. Will recommend to friends and family. Music content fine but a little too loud for me.

Always good. Great service from Perri! Did I say the service was fantastic? 100 characters is an annoying minimum if you don't have that much to say.

Amazing choice of fresh today caught local fish. Had the monk fish scampi and gurnard. Food was delicious and the service amazing (thanks Grace). Will hopefully be back again.

Visited the National marine aquarium next door and thought we'd get a bite to eat afterwards...seafood of course!. Amazing lunch deal highly recommended. Tip top service from Kassie! All in all friendly welcome, delicious seafood and a very good price. Spot on!

This fish restaurant was a delight from start to finish. All the staff were so knowledgeable and professional, and this is before I mention the food. I had a catch of the day (pollock) I will simply say at 60+ years this was the best fish dinner I have ever had. Simple beautiful! Special mention must go to Nicola who made our afternoon just so special and unique, a credit to the restaurant. Unquestionably a 5 star experience!

Absolutely wonderful restaurant, I had the best mussels and scallops I have ever had in my whole entire life! Our server Gaia was AMAZING!!! highly recommend eating here! :)

Delicious fresh fish & chips - generous, portion of crispy battered hake - nicely presented - our party was made to feel very welcome by our waitress Abi who was super attentive monitoring the pace and interruptions that a baby and toddlers can inflict at a mealtime! - very efficient service and relaxed environment.

We had such a fantastic meal here. The welcome and service were great, and the food was cooked to perfection. Our kids loved that you could choose the fish and the sides, and ate the healthiest meal they’d had out all half term! The tarte tatin and sticky toffee puddings were also perfect. Would highly recommend

This should be one of the best seafood restaurants in the UK. We love seafood very much, and the chefs at the Rockfish restaurant really understand how to cook every fish that makes the most in texture and favour, never overcooked or over seasoning, just right and perfect. We dine out here 2 times during our 3 days trip, and we really enjoy it.

Absolutely excellent food - we’ve been about 5 times and there’s so much of interest on the menu. Fish and chips are excellent but the other fish - eg grilled gurnard with romanesco sauce - delightful. Service perfect - very friendly and on point. The kids’ free fish and chips, and the free chips refills, make it an unbelievable bargain. Setting is casual. High quality, fresh, fully recommend.

Excellent lunch for our daughters 6th birthday. Very well looked after by Jen and the Rockfish team and they did an excellent job with our birthday cake. Will be back soon.

Excellent food and service, well recommended. Curry sauce to die for.

Visited here before the aquarium with our 1 year old. It was a Thursday lunch time, bang on opening time (12) so very quiet to start with which was excellent as we could walk around with our little one without feeling in the way. Staff were really friendly, food was excellent quality, there were loads of options on the freshly caught range plus free fish & chips for our son was a bonus! Would definitely recommend & will eat here again. Thank you!

Stopped for a light lunch after visiting the Plymouth Aquarium. Adults had beautiful and tasty muscles whilst my grandson had fish and chips. Tried the fish which was delicious as were the chips. Must mention the very clean toilets and helpful staff. Will definitely go again for a full meal in the future.

Great service, great restaurant with unlimited chips. Great view and plenty of seating space. Will visit again soon...

Excellent customer service & lovely food.

Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Love the fact that they do UNLIMITED chips. I highly recommend the Scallops!

The restaurant comes highly recommended for gluten free options. Staff were welcoming and we were delighted it was also dog friendly. My son has coeliac disease and staff were happy to explain their processes to reassure him. We loved the unlimited chips... the fish was...

Excellent staff in particular Perri, her knowledge of what’s on the menu and variations of tastes of the food was spot on. Excellent food and presentation, can’t wait to visit again soon.

Superb seafood in a great location. Recommended.

Good service and great food in a friendly and warm environment looking over the harbour. Scallops were great and mussels / Haddock were delicious. Looking forward to another trip back soon.

We stopped in here for a bit of lunch after a trip to the Aquarium. Lovely Bright and Welcoming space, staff were wonderful. We decided to have a selection of starters to share 3 Oysters, Scallops in the most beautiful garlic butter and Calamari and...

The manager who served us was faultless, as I am coeliac I have had a fair share of poor experiences. However, the waiting staff couldn’t have been more attentive and informative about the food processes. We will definitely be going back.

Really expensive for the amount and quality of food we had. Drinks prices high too. Unfortunately, we wouldn't go back unless they lower their prices, review portions and the quality.

Very expensive for the meagre portion of fish in the plain fish and chips and an additional £2.95 for a small pot of mushy peas.

On a cold January night we ventured across the Barbican to Rockfish. A roaring fire and warm welcome greeted us. The restaurant was relatively quiet, but no surprise at this time of year. We ordered bread and whitebait to start. Followed by Brill and Mackerel...

Had a lovely and very filling meal at Rockfish Plymouth yesterday, fish was beautifully fresh and plenty of it. We had the set menu. Wow the sardine starter was so good. Two fillets of fish for the main course, more chips were offered but we...
