Very friendly staff and pleasant ambience. It's only a short menu (surely a good sign) and the cooking was excellent, BUT this isn't a place to go if you are ravenous. All portions were small and there was no choice of vegetable - it was cauliflower cheese or nothing (unfortunate if you don't happen to like cheese).

Good food and the home roasted gammon was superb, good value. The guy behind the bar was a great laugh. Special offers on. Will visit again.

Disgusting!!!! We went on Sunday for the carvery. It was £8.95 - what a rip off, the gravy was watery - no taste at all, just brown water, the potatoes were all hard in the middle and had an odd texture. They gave you 2 measly pieces of meat and when half of my slice fell of his fork he wasn't gonna put it back on my plate, i had to ask for it! All frozen rubbish! My hubby had a curry and no exaggeration from ordering to coming to the able it was about 5 minutes - blatantly just put in the microwave. And then he had to go and ask for more poppadoms cs the 2 he had were stale. The whole menu was ridiculously overpriced (jacket potato £8,95, chicken breast and jacket £11.95 etc etc) you wouldnt mind paying these prices if it was fresh home cooked food but it was frozen rubbish! I can honestly say its the worst roast i have ever had!

Very rude

I have eaten at this Restaurant twice in 6 weeks and cannot fault it. The decor, food and staff is excellent. They do the usual dishes but also some unusual regional dishes and Chef's specialities. The staff are smartly dressed and polite. Its has been busy both times I have been there which I am so pleased in seeing them doing well considering it is out of the City Centre.

Seriously, this is what an English pub is all about. What's wrong with wanting sausage, egg & chips occasionally? Gastro pubs - my bottom. Quality fun pub frequented by the great and interesting with a brilliantly quirky landlady. Don't miss an opportunity to visit and see what others are failing to emulate.

love da food its so mouth watering and its a good price luv da staff as well

I was taken to Rodeans last year for a celebratory meal for my 60th birthday, every detail was catered for, it was so special that I am taking my brother and his wife there for their silver wedding anniversary, because I know it will be all that could be wished for for a special event.

What a lovely place. The food was amazing - the best steak I have had this side of the Atlantic. Friendly staff and lovely gardens to walk it all off. Recommended and the rooms look fab too!

Very friendly staff. Perfect place for a light bite and a drink in the lovely setting of the Quay at Exeter.

I was in Nibana Indian Restaurant over this Easter weekend. I was been told by my hotel that it’s nice restaurant. But I wouldn’t suggest any one to go there. As being an Indian I knew from my first bite that food is with too much of colouring and not right taste. On complain to Manager I wasn’t treated very nicely and been told that we made food here only for WHITE PEOPLE. That shock me a lot because I believe that we all should have right to have know the originality of what we eat. -Tzar

What a super place. Highly recommended.

Found this place by accident. Driving past it doesn't look anything wonderful, but once you get inside it is totally different. The welcome was great, the food terrific, and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and wonderful. Pricing was very good. Food superb, and one of the best pints of Tribute I've had in a long time. What made it memorable was the pub dog Stitch. So well behaved and those sorry looking eyes. We all wanted to take him home.

went to Fishbones Monday 6th April. server was very helpful, funny went out of er way to give a good customer service. The food was delicious, but plates so full we couldn't manage a dessert. we both had soup starters, served in a bread roll! i had lamb shank, meat fell off the bone, served with sweet potato mash, bit too rich so i left some. partner had mixed grill, was huge! they do a mixed grill for 2 people but quite frankly this was big enough for 2! and we are not small eaters. drinks bit dear, but overall great experience, would recommend

There are lots of indifferent and often pricey restaurants in Plymouth but the general standard and feel is so disappointing that it is often very difficult to work up the enthusiasm to eat out at all. platters is the exception that proves the rule. perfect and fresh fish virtually straight off the quay, simple excellent cooking, good value consistency and perhaps , just, most important at all a wonderful bustling friendly unpretentious environment where you cannot but feel instantly at home. No need for a tie (or collar) and nothing precious or grand. This is the perfect local good food cafe/bistro you could dream of.

I would agree with the previous recommendations, offering good value pub food, a lovely cosy pub though by the waters edge. Love the new theme they have, each corner is a different type of seating, either cosy or more formal, or good for a large group. Thought it was very well decorated. Nice pub too for an afternoon drink with light bites.

lovely atmosphere, very friendly landlord, delicious food, and beautiful setting.

We tried to eat here last year whilst in Woolacombe, we waited for a table and was listening to the waiter telling other customers how they were out of everything even the draught beer. We thought we would try again this year, I wish I hadn't bothered. The food was overpriced, overstated and overdone! the most expensive load of rubbish I have ever eaten, firstly we made a point of reserving a table which, when we arrived they had let go ( and we was early) the steak was overdone and supposed to come in a red wine and mushroom sauce there was not a mushroom or wine in sight! and both mine and my husbands meal was cold, then to add insult the food did not come with any accompaniment and we had to pay an extra £2.95 for a side of 1 boiled potato a few carrot slices and a small piece of cabbage. All I can say is we eat in some very nice restaurants and by golly this IS NOT one of them.
