   We had a spot near the window and it was a lovely,sunny day. We had the three roast dinner with dessert. Food was delicious (could have been a tad hotter) pudding was to die for. Wonderful service. Thanks for a super Sunday.

   This wasn’t the first time we’ve eaten in Ocean View & as on all of our previous visits it was 1st class. The staff were discrete & not over your shoulder waiting for your orders & the food was as always top notch.

   Went for brunch with coffees. Drinks were fine & arrived fairly quickly. Food arrived 50+ minutes later. Bacon, sausage & beans were decently hot. Tomato, mushrooms & toast were tepid. The open plan layout & hard floors & walls create a lot of noise for the number of diners. We were in the restaurant for this meal over 2 hours.

   My first time at Ocean View was December 2023, It was excellent, food piping hot, the restaurant was very busy, but very well managed, great atmosphere, could not find fault, today I revisited for a roast, oh dear, how standards have fallen….. The roast was warm, edible but nothing like I had before, I could not cut the beef to eat, although cooked very nicely, it was very fatty and inedible, the vegetables were acceptable, just ! Staff were very attentive and very polite and offered us a free dessert because we could not eat the beef, the dining room was cold, very little atmosphere, and all the windows constantly steamed up so no view of the outside at all, we decided to take our coffee in the room at other end of the building, hoping it would be warmer, it was colder, I asked for the heating to be put on, it didn’t make much difference, what a shame the standards have fallen so much, I definitely would not recommend, it was so disappointing, I couldn’t believe the difference from my last visit, I felt sorry for the staff, they seemed to be trying their best, but it was a very poor meal for the money, it’s not nice being sat somewhere cold eating a lukewarm meal.

   Having eaten the Sunday roast here recently, we assumed that the normal menu would be as equally good… wrong… I guess the empty restaurant should have been the give away… We had to send back three lots of fish and chips as the fish was like rubber and unable to even cut it. The staff offered to replace it but to be honest seeing as all three were the same it was unlikely that the new batch would be any better. We chose another meal which came out quite quickly. We were offered complimentary olives and bread (which none of us wanted or liked) However, what would have been a nice gesture is if the two coffees at the end of the meal were removed from the bill… Had this been our first ever visit we would never return nor recommend it… but hopefully this was a one off, but will stick to Sunday visits only…

   The restaurant is in a lovely interesting building with great views of our beautiful Plymouth Sound. The food is delicious and the service professional, warm and welcoming.
