Fantastic locally run restaurant by a really friendly family. It was my daughters birthday and they went above and beyond with a lovely card and candles on her desert. All the food was fresh and superbly cooked

We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary so chose Ocean View as in Plymouth to see an exhibition. Our first time here, we will certainly return. It wasn't overly busy on the Thursday lunchtime we were there, but the service and food were excellent. Due to the large portions we were not able to try the puddings. Fortunately we were able to sit in the window and enjoy the wonderful views.
