The dome-shaped venue on the Hoe, aptly named The Dome, was designed by architect Tony Irish. The Dome was first opened in July 1988 as part of Mayflower commemorations in Plymouth and started life as a local museum and tourist information centre.

Designed to have the Art Deco feel and opulence of a 1930s ocean liner, the venue’s bar will feature an extensive wine and gin list, a selection of cocktails plus a full range of beers, ciders and soft drinks.

The restaurant’s menu will feature fresh, local and seasonal produce and will include fish sourced from local day boats. We will also be offering traditional afternoon teas.

There will be opportunities for private dining, small weddings and business meetings – all set against a spectacular ocean view backdrop!

    Food was lovely I had the steak.cooked well. Dessert was brownie .did think banana ice cream with it was weird and wouldn't have it again. But brownie was amazing . Service was slow at start .we sat there for a while before order was taken not asked what we wanted to drink when menus for food came out. First course was slow in coming out and noticed other tables getting there's before us and sat down after us. The waitress had a but if attitude to her and after we had finished eating no hot drinks offered so we asked for bill and left . Trying to track her down to get bill was hard she was nowhere in our little bit and didn't hang around. I work in hospitality and it was poor.ive been many times before and had great service . Food was amazing thou

    Everything was great. The staff were very accommodating as we were running a little late. We got a window table and the views were amazing! Our waiter was very attentive, friendly and polite. Wine was delicious. Food was not a disappointment at all. I treated myself to the monkfish tail and it was the best meal I’ve had for a very long time. My husband was very happy with his calamari and burger too. The only reason I didn’t give 5* was because the water glasses are plastic and didn’t look very clean. I definitely didn’t expect plastic beakers in a restaurant! Also the floor nearby and my chair wasn’t clean. Nothing disastrous but I had to swap chairs before sitting down. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant. So often when we eat out, we end up spending a lot of money and feeling I could have done better at home - but not on this occasion. Ocean View was definitely worth a visit.

    The food was tasty and there was a reasonable choice. We went for a drink in the bar first at 7.30pm and were not collected for our dinner reservation at 8pm despite me checking beforehand that they would do. Table staff were pleasant and helpful. Bar staff seemed to be avoiding eye contact and appeared too busy to serve, however there were only a few customers in the bar. After our meal, we were told that the coffee machine was turned off and that we could have neither hot tea/coffee or cold drinks, including soft drinks or liqueurs. This was 9.30pm! The floors were being mopped and cleaned down. This is a restaurant and bar on a Saturday night in a busy and picturesque part of the city. Who closes a bar at 9.30 on a Saturday night? The bar staff were rude and disinterested. The owner must be losing a lot of business if the totally young group of staff are trying to rush out customers.

    We booked, but didn't have e a window seat. Having said that tbe it's hard to sit anywhere without a view. We came for brunch. It's a limited menu, probably missing avocado from the menu, but apart from that was good. Food was excellent, service was good. Will I come back. Definitely

    Had a lovely breakfast with a gorgeous view! One of the OV Breakfast's came with an extra hashbrown & a lot more mushrooms than the other OV Breakfast that was ordered, which I found odd?! Would go again for the overall experience :)
