About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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!

    The waitress took our order but didn't write anything down so of course she got it wrong! My eggs benedict had a black hair in the sauce. I sent this back to the kitchen. My mum had ordered a loaded croissant but only a butter and jam one came to the table. We had to wait 10 minutes longer, while the rest of our table were eating until ours was ready. When I received the second eggs benedict, the eggs were undercooked and very rushed because of the mistake. Very snotty and watery eggs. Overall very unhappy and unfortunately won't be recommending.

    We were seated near the window with a view of the Sound. The service was quite slow. The food was tasty enough but at £40 for a sharing platter it could have done with more seafood and less bread. We won't be returning anytime soon.

    I was very disappointed with my dining experience. Service was fine. Food was poor. Presentation was terrible, bland and boring. Chicken tenders were processed. Water glasses and jug were plastic, that's unbelievable for a restaurant.

    Booked for a busy Bank Holiday Monday early Breakfast - on arrival at 9.45am - told there were no croissants or vegan breakfast. 2 of the main items on the breakfast menu is croissant based. There were 3 chefs(cooks) in the kitchen - should a chef be able to knock up a few croissants? The restaurant was not that busy but we had to get up and go to the waitress to ask for more drinks- they were not very attentive. Hot drinks server from the bar took an age to arrive. Breakfast was kind of bland- nothing special about the sausages & bacon. soz- won’t be back.
