Best KPortal Reviews

A friend of mine recommended Platters, and I definitely owe him a beer!
Fantastic, friendly service with great quality seafood!
My daughter and I both went for the cod and chips, and we were not disappointed. The batter was perfect, with a slight crunch and a beautiful flaky cod inside - delicious. The chips were very good - non-greasy, which is very rare today!
We both had a pudding of chocolate fudge cake and crème brûlée; we were absolutely stuffed!
The restaurant is a nice, friendly size with colourful, sea-themed artwork on the walls.
We would happily return!
Small and cosy restaurant.
Fresh fish and waitresses are very nice.
Octopus is great wich surprise me. But the seafood paella is a bit too salty. Good value of price.
It’s our second time here. And it was great! We had a seafood platter which is superb.
It was 4 stars on last time and five stars for today ! The waiter is very friendly and patients . Thx
My lovely lady treated me to a birthday meal here, and, it truly was a lovely meal.
Waiting staff were lovely, polite and professional, we were immediately seated and made to feel very welcome. We decided to order the seafood platter, and having spoken to the waitress before we ordered, we decided that this would probably be enough to feed us 2 hungry humans. We were in for a shock, the muscles on their own would have been enough to feed me, the portion size was, well, huge is the best word for it. But as only a part of the seafood platter, the rest that followed was incredible. Scallops, 3 lovely pieces of fish, calamari, breaded whitebait chips and HUGE prawns. The menu says, enough to feed 2, personally, I'd say there is probably enough for 3 or more. From the start, I asked where the produce came from as let's face it, if you have a seafood restaurant so close to the sea, you want it to be fresh and fresh it is. Each morning it's fresh to be exact. So it's no suprise to learn that everything was utterly delicious. The scallops were sweet, and the roe was kept on, this is an absolute must as it enhances the flavour so much. The muscles, delicious, perfectly cooked, and the sauce didn't detract you from the flavour. The 3 pieces of fish, just fall apart lovely, moist and utterly flavoursome. And honestly, everything was just cooked to utter perfection. Any fool can cook a steak or chicken, but to cook fresh seafood and do it perfectly, that's an art. And the chef there is an artist and a bloody good one at that.
Thank you to all the staff there for making my birthday meal a very special one.
Garlic Bread 5/5
Crispy and nicely seasoned.
Homemade Fish Soup 2/5
Pros: Large amount of seabass
Cons:
Nearly swallowed a fish bone
Can't really taste the element of fresh in the soup
The soup itself tastes like peppers Powder.
Prawn tagliatelle 4/5
Just an ordinary Prawn Tagliatelle
Creamy
Fresh Prawns
Chinese Menu is Available
The food easily makesnup for the lack of ambiance, dont misjudge this very ordinary looking restaurant. We had a excellent lunch, fresh fish, all very tasty. Definitely better than the fish and chip shops in the area.
This place was a happy find. I wanted fish to eat while visiting Plymouth and ideally an independent restaurant, rather than a pub or a chain. Platters suited this perfectly, although I was lucky to get a table in this small and busy venue!
There was plenty of seafood and fish options for starters and mains. I went for the Plymouth Clam Chowder and the trio of grilled fish with chips, both of which were excellent.
What a wonderful little gem, right by the harbourside in Plymouth. First time we'd tried this restaurant, and we are so glad we did! It is very small and cosy with gorgeous murals on the walls and as soon as we opened the door, we were warmly greeted and offered a seat. The two ladies waiting tables were lovely, kind, polite and very friendly. The kitchen was open plan so the chef was on view the whole time. The quality of the food was exquisite, both in freshness and how it was prepared. We were there as my OH loves seafood and it was his birthday so we chose the mixed seafood platter. His eyes nearly popped out when he saw what we had - calamari, scallops, HUGE prawns, whitebait, 3 pan fried fillets of plaice, a massive bowl of mussels and chips!! All served with homemade tartare sauce. It was amazing and we both really enjoyed it. 90% of the seafood and fish are local and delivered each morning and you can taste it. The staff couldn't do enough for us, and Tori even stood and chatted with us for a while. The second waitress had only been there 2 weeks but was also lovely. Even chef chatted to us briefly! The only small neg is that there is no parking - having said that, we were able to park roadside just a little way away (parking meters). The prices are reasonable and it's so worth it.
A small but gleaming treasure, we will be back!
Choose Platters above the other larger seafood venues as it was small and intimate setting and long established. Didn’t disappoint, service from the young waiter was friendly and food was lovely. I had the homemade fisherman’s pie and my partner chose the grilled plaice fillets. Will be going again.
