    Lovely ambience and fish. Exceptional views, However, vegetarian options for my partner were very limited. The only main was priced at a ridiculous £23 for a cauliflower and sweet potato pasty - which was bland and unremarkable. For comparison, my monkfish main for £27 and many of the fish mains we £19-20

    The service was outstanding and staff very friendly and professional at all times giving great customer service. The food choice was great and prices were good seeing the food cooked from fresh. The food was delicious and just enough without bloating us both. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to others.

    Mostly we enjoyed our food, tasty, well cooked and presented. My husband had crab, then the vegetarian option of a tart. He enjoyed the flavour but found the pastry rather fatty and had indigestion afterwards, I had the crab followed by fillet steak. It was steak night. Although the steak looked a good, medium rare, it did not melt in the mouth and needed some chewing. Everything else about the meal was very good. At the price, it should have been excellent. The staff, and the layout of the restaurant, were excellent.

    The rhubarb cream tasted of porridge and the pork tenderloin should have come with a steak knife, other than that everything else was lovely. The most envied position for a restaurant in Folkestone.
