We had one night in Deal staying in The Royal over the road. Booked here for dinner. Loved it. Sat by the kitchen, which was great for us with two kids as it meant we didn't have to worry about maybe being a bit too much for anyone enjoying a romantic night out. Staff were brilliant. Loved the food. Pleased to see they were busy and, knowing how challenging hospitality is right now, i wish them all the best and I'm sure they'll continue to thrive.

One of the best restaurants we tried in Deal. Food was exceptional, service very good, and a great atmosphere. The staff were willing to adjust the meals, to suit dietary requirements without a problem. Prices are very reasonable, and there are some good beers available.

Great restaurant facing the sea front. Had table near the window which made it all more exciting and entertaining. Great service even though we had more than one waiter looking after us. All seemed very knowledgeable about the menus and all had very good customer service. The food was delicious too. Great dining experience. Will be back when in Deal.

Romantic setting, quiet atmosphere, with lovely food and they didn’t mind changing up the dish for there amazing chips, super fresh, great staff and nice wine. The creme brulee I wished was warmer on top and the sour dough bread is a must to try.

This was my second visit and I love this place. The food is delicious. The menu had changed between visits and both looked fantastic. The children's menu was really nice too. Lovely atmosphere with kind staff and you can sit and enjoy your evening without feeling rushed. Really great food.

My family came here for a meal and the service was excellent, they were lovely with my chatty children. The food was divine, the salmon beautifully cooked, and the desert was melt in mouth tasty. I look forward to coming back again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Deal.
