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 breakfast was very bland, no seasoning/flavouring. tomatoes had clearly been standing around a while. we were offered granary bread and white so we had one of each. the granary option was not granary bread, it was more like hovis 50/50 bread, definatly not granary, which was disappointing. these vice was very slow but, the atmosphere and location was perfect.

    The food came out different to what the menu said and when questioned it she said it had changed. Should have told me that when I ordered not when the food came. Food was terrible.

    Sadly this visit did not live upto our previous visits, the sausages were overcooked and dry, the granary bread was whole meal and was not good quality. Even with the buy one get one free we didn’t think k it as was worth the money,

    Excellent food, recommend the fish dishes, cooked well with a good balance of spices. Food was well presented, with portions exceeding expectations! Table service was very friendly and organised, didn't feel rushed.

    Had to ask for a fresh pint of beer, as it was the end of the barrel and it had bits floating in it. No apology. Forgot to bring new drinks when ordered – had to be reminded. Forgot to bring some food orders – had to be reminded. Service very slow Quality of food excellent

    Excellent service and food. It was quite busy therefore a bit noisy but it didn’t spoil our experience.

    We’ve been for breakfast a few times in the past and loved it, it was great quality food & value given its buy one get one free but I feel it’s now got more popular and things have slipped. Everything apart from the hash brown was cold. The poached egg was like a rock hard bullet! The mushrooms & tomato was dried out & not edible. They used to have lovely quality bread for the toast & nice butter but it’s now cheap alternatives. The service is always great when ordering but every time we’ve been there you don’t see a member of staff after finishing your food & it’s often a 20 minute - half an hour wait to pay. It’s fine if you are just there taking in the scenery but if you have plans afterwards it’s not great service. Overall really disappointed with today’s food. A real shame given how it was 12-18 months ago when we first went there!

    We booked the Ocean Dome after watching Kinky Boots at The Theatre Royal. Lovely restaurant, started off with gorgeous cocktails in the bar and was then shown to a table in the window with beautiful views. The food was delicious but my husband and friend both had the beef short ribs which had very little meat and were quite fatty, so couldn't be eaten. This was a shame as the Calamari for the starter was the best they had both had before. Saying this, it would not put us off going again and maybe choosing a different dish as a main. Thank you to all the staff who were incredibly attentive, a lovely way to round off a perfect day out, thank you.
