"Loved it here. Cutest little venue, old railway carriage on the harbour arm. Every table has stunning views of the sea and the White Cliffs of Dover. Every detail was so well thought out. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable. Highly recommend."

"Went today me my husband and 12 yr old daughter... we pre booked which was easy to do. When we arrived the waitress was very polite and showed us inside the very beautiful seating area, gave us the menus and gave us time to have a look.
The waitress took our drinks order then our food order.
Food arrived in good time and very well presented..
The food.... OMG... it was amazing I had classic mussels, they where done wonderfully, husband had Thai mussels and the spices went so well with the mussels, daughter had the fillet stack.. wow she loved every bite. We also had the side of lobster and prawn spring rolls... they where done to perfection.
Highly recommend and next time im in the area will be returning."

"This is a nice setting, and the staff are really lovely. I had the scotch egg and the mackerel pate. The latter was delicious, the former would have been better as a regular scotch egg but it is a seafood restaurant so fair enough! All in all, very good."
