It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. My partner and I moved to the area 6 years ago and Seco lounge was at the time a great place to go - welcoming, with good food, great service and a friendly atmosphere. We were regulars - even outside the tourist season. However, since the original manager and some of the excellent front-of-house and chef staff moved on the standards have slipped to the point of Tuesday night's experience. We ordered two sets of the tapas and the cheese fries. The food arrived after 45 minutes - cold - and with the garlic mayo slathered on two dishes despite the explicit request that it be served on the side. After sending the food back it was replaced with dishes we hadn't ordered. To add insult to injury the Korean prawns arrived not only dry and burnt but also cold. This used to be our go-to place, we've taken friends and family and work colleagues to eat there. No more. The standards have steadily slipped to the point where this is now like a wetherspoons - impersonal, uncaring service, overwhelming loud music, excessive wait times - without the cheap beer & food prices. We won't be back

The food was fine, it was a little too greasy for me, but the rest of my party liked it. The portions were small for all of us though and that's hardly ever the case for me. The staff was kind and fast enough and the location is great. If you're in the area, it's a nice place for a cocktail at least :)

Pleasantly surprised at how nice the food was! We went here for my father's birthday meal because we didn't have much luck with getting a table anywhere else We were expecting it to be overpriced & for the food to be mediocre at best, due to it's location being in the Royal William yard Our assumptions were proven wrong as the food & drinks were actually decently priced & to our surprise, the food was actually pretty good! I had the birria tacos which were the best tacos that I've had in Plymouth; the menu had some interesting options & was definitely different from your standard Plymouth eatery menu! The location is very nice, being in the historic Royal William Yard There is also outdoor seating with nice views of the surrounding historic buildings & water! Overall, we all enjoyed the meal & I'd definitely come back again

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant in Royal William Yard, and I must say, it left an unforgettable impression. The food here is nothing short of exceptional, with a uniqueness that sets it apart from any other dining experience. Their commitment to freshness and quality ingredients is evident in every bite. Each dish is not only interesting but also memorable, leaving a lasting impression that beckoned me back for more. In fact, I couldn’t resist the temptation and returned not just once, but twice within a span of two days - once for breakfast and again for lunch! The staff are the true gems of this establishment. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, they make you feel right at home from the moment you step through the door. Their knowledge of the extensive gluten-free menu is impressive, catering to a wide range of dietary needs without compromising on flavor. One of the highlights is the outdoor patio, which offers stunning views of Royal William Yard’s beautiful architecture, docked boats, and the picturesque harbor. It’s the perfect backdrop for a delightful meal, adding an extra layer of charm to an already exceptional dining experience. If you’re seeking a restaurant that combines unique and fresh cuisine with friendly staff and a breathtaking ambiance, look no further. This place has it all and more, making it an absolute must-visit for anyone in the area. I can’t recommend it enough, and I’ll certainly be returning for many more memorable meals in the future.

This place is in a great location, the menu is extensive and the quality is amazing. Treat yourself to an afternoon in the sun here and you won’t be disappointed. I imagine evening dining would be just as good, so I’ll be doing that next time! Thanks very much
