  • Charming
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!

    Starter of monkfish scampi needs attention, in my humble opinion: The homemade tartar sauce was bland, and the membrane was left on some of the monkfish chunks, which were unpleasant in the mouth. The main of short rib of beef was absolutely amazing. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her fish and chips and tiramasu. Overall, we really enjoyed it. I wouldn't let the disappointing starter put me off coming again.

    The Dome has a beautiful view. Michael our waiter was great. The food was lovely. The decor wasn't as bright and breezy as I'd hoped

    Waiter and waitress were lovely. However restaurant completely ignored my booking request for trying to make my friends 70th birthday special. Even ringing me to say there wasn’t anything they could do would have shown more care than nothing. It’s clear they don’t read it , so no point putting the option there for this restaurant.

    We went to the restaurant for Sunday lunch to celebrate an 80th birthday - seats are comfy, atmosphere is fun and lively but easy to chat and enjoy the view. Food delicious, good portions and staff are excellent. Well trained, excellent service. I would recommend Ocean View for whatever the occasion and don't forget to book ahead to ensure you get in there. Attached is also a coffee shop with amazing cakes and cream teas. So whatever you are looking for this is your place in Plymouth.
