I went there with a lady friend, 6 pm on a Saturday.
We didn’t book but had the last available table in the restaurant.(it was a bit tired with paint peeling off in places) it was in the corner by windows which were running with condensation.
This was our first visit and it was ridiculously busy and very warm.
The staff were run off their feet, so consequently there was a long wait between drinks, meal, bill etc.
I don’t blame them, manager should look at staffing levels.
Every available space was filled with tables and chairs,so much so that I was knocking into people on my way to the single toilet for men that had a queue.
However when the meals arrived the starter and mains were excellent and generous portions.
My friend had eaten seafood all over Europe, but said “the octopus was the best she had ever had” high praise indeed.
I had three pints of Estella lager, my friend had two glasses of house white, they changed the wine on her second glass which was not so good. We wondered if that was intentional or they just ran out of the good stuff.
Generally I would recommend the restaurant and go again but not on a busy Saturday.

Had an absolutely lovely experience. The waiting staff were attentive and very sociable. The mussels and chips from the lunch menu were amazing. £16.95 for two courses is good value. Only thing I would say is that it’s quite loud and hard to hear conversation with people on your table but that’s no fault of the restaurant.

Fantastic quality, quantity and value for money food. Absolutely delicious and highly recommend. The 2/3 course menu specials are amazing value. Sorry.I had to reduce your star rating as we returned for another meal and was a bit disappointed. I ordered a dish with king prawns , scallops and fish in a cream sauce. I did not realise it was going to be so rich and drowned.All the flavors of the beautiful ingredients. It came with salad, which was a bit strange as the sauce was very hot, it should have been vegetables. Such a shame to waste such a beautiful amount of ingredients. In my head , I thought there would be a little bit of sauce . We wanted to have a dessert, but the waitress was too busy to see us in the corner, and we left . Next time, I will go for grilled fish and vegetables, keep it simple.

Fantastic seafood restaurant. Everything was freshly prepared. Service was quick and helpful. The dishes were well presented. Atmosphere and interior decor was good. Portion sizes were generous. Overall a very positive experience across the board. I will happily return.

Highly recommended. Me & my friends had a fantastic experience yesterday. Staff were so friwndly, even helped us taking photos of our group. Food was great, mind you, don’t come here with full tummy coz portions are huge (we had to take home some of it). If you are seafood lover, this is the place. Will book again.

Amazing food and great service. We’d definitely come back again. The only issue we found was that the tables were very close together so it was very hard to get in and out of the seats.

We searched for lunch in Plymouth looked at the new bit which all seemed quiet so proceeded to the barbican and choose the place that looked like everyone knew about ‘Village Seafood’ it didn’t have the glitz and glam no flashing lights or big promotional stuff outside but it had people! Lots of them so what do they all know that we currently did not…. Greeted straight away, given a table and menu which was actually three menus quite vast selection. I opted for Greek then changed my mind to seafood settled on a mixed grill then ordered Greek. If you are indecisive make sure you allocate more time here. I was swayed by the table next to me having moussaka as it looked superb. My partner who’s a catch went for the cold seafood which she received in abundance personally sometimes seafood I find it to be a little small for me but this plate was full so much so I had to assist. During this time I observed other plates and food envy is high everything just looked amazing not that I would have swapped mine I just wished I could eat 6 or 7 plates… as mentioned it’s not dazzling here there’s nothing spectacular about the place like the other ‘fancy’ big chain restaurants we looked into but they don’t need it. It’s all about the food which was spectacular and for me if I’m going out eating it’s my only concern to be honest I don’t feel they are trying to impress they are just doing food and doing it very well that it impresses you as standard. You want good food here it is. The service I also thought was great very attentive we were serviced very well only slight issue was with the amount of head on the beer, we asked, they fixed, problem solved. I would say prices were good too, living in Newquay where your stung as a tourist everyday it was nice to be a tourist and be saving money whilst vastly improving the quality and experience. I am looking forward to returning who knows what I will go for next… we all know it’s fish…pie.. of the day..pasta definitely something from the menu and of no doubt it will be great.
