Reviews in Plymouth

Nice pub food but not quite a restaurant as the new branding seems to suggest.

Have visited this place many times over the years but have seen a steady decline in the service provided, there are long waiting times between courses. The food is excellent, from the game starters to the heavenly and very original desserts, the menu is one of the best in Plymouth. The staff are also very polite and helpful. However on our last visit we had to wait over an hour for dessert to arrive. Our waitress apologised several times, but we haven't returned since.

I really enjoyed in meal here. You can tell that the food is very fresh and local. I had the scallops to start followed by the monkfish. I could not fault either.

Starters were good (a little bit of everything)mains were also well presented (steak a little overdone but then again how blue is blue) overall an enjoyable experience until the bill arrived. I will not return as this was not reasonable let alone value for money.

The muscles starter was exceptional, the flavour of the sauce intensified the dish to such an extent the flavours bursted in your mouth. We had different mains, the lamb was deliciously soft with excellent flavour and the caldron of fish was another dish with a fantastic sauce complementing the dish well. Service was very intimate as we were the only people in the restaurant which was surprising with such great fair on offer. Would recommend and we will be back!

When this place first opened, the food was really good, the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was really funky, but it's slid into a decline since then. There is a very small group of regular staff and a lot of changes with the young people who don't really want to be there. The food that was good, now tends to be over proportioned and not cooked as it should be. The sauce bottles are refilled, rather than changed, which means you're in effect chucking on traces of really old sauce onto your food (it's probably just me, but I find that gross). It's now become simply a truckers stop - you eat and go as quick as you can, so it doesn't matter too much what gets served up as you'll probably won't be back in the area again to complain!

Absolutely shocking. The meals were very poor and clearly cooked in a hurry despite taking the best part of 45 minutes to arrive. The staff argued with me over what I ordered and I received an incorrect bill at the end of it.

A great restaurant, have been back several times & each has been as good as before. Sat in the Japanese room once which is nice but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over 5.6".

we struggled to find a veggie restaurant in Plymouth ,an Indian wasn't our first choice but this was great the food was excellent, the elderflower cordial was just carbonated water, service was very slow (we had to skip dessert as the 2 hour parking was up) we will go again

Nice location, Newly refurbished, Staff very friendly, Would recommend to anyone wanting quick filling food before night out, Attached to premier inn so make a night of it, close to local entertainment.

I was recommended this place, so i took the family, BRILLIANT, what can i say the food was brilliant and so was the service, my youngsters were given colouring to do whilst waiting for their food, which they ate all of it . I can recommend the ribs and the fajitas, the smokey BBQ sauce was lovely, i thought the waitress looked like she loved working there, if i was younger! TRY IT YOURSELF

What an EXCELLENT place, we had a brilliant time the staff were so friendly and the food was so authentic of the good ole U S A . VERY RECOMENDED Gary and family

Another very good meal at the Shapla. The food is so tasty and different from run of the mill curries and the staff are very friendly. Will recommend to friends.

Really good food and lovely staff. They were more than happy to alter dishes to meet my dietary requirements and as someone who has travelled to India several times, it is the closest ive ever had to the taste of genuine indian cuisine

Very disappointed with the Barbican Kitchen, we were rushed, were not offered bread like everyone else and my order was wrong. Having booked this for my anniversary I was very disappointed and would not return. Morgans is much better and your treated like you should.

Recently tried this restaurant again, after a couple of years absence. We were made very welcome and sat in the conservatory with outstanding views over Plymouth Sound. looking at Plymouth from this view gives a whole new aspect!! The food we ordered was first class, both in taste and presentation. Service was pleasant & non obtrusive, while their wine list tastefully matched the accompanying fish dishs. This restaurant may be difficult to get to, but you need to get there while you can still get a seat with a fantastic view & brilliant food.

A sophisticated restaurant with a modern, comfortable style, the Dartmoor Union was not at all the small cramped pub in a country village that we expected. Subdued lighting, large squashy leather sofas, a blessedly smoke-free atmosphere, and very professional service all added to the very enjoyable experience. We had simple roasts (it being Sunday) but of a quality of ingredients and cooking that I have rarely experienced before outside a Michelin star restaurant. The food was of excellent quality for an astonishingly reasonable price (£15.95 for a three course lunch) and the service was just right. If there is a fault then it is that the portions are a little too big. Strongly recommended but allow plenty of time to get to the village through the narrow Devon lanes.

when we given the menu we were told that they had run out of scallops for starters. When we were going to order we were then informed that there was no lamb for the main course! so we had to make another choice.We ordered lovely bottle of rose wine(the only one on the wine list) we went to order a second, only to be told "sorry we have run out" Not what you expect on a saturday evening.The delivery of the food by the staff was very disjointed, they seemed unaware of what the dishes were. On a more positive note the food was very good.
