"After hearing such good reviews about this place we thought we’d try it out. We ordered 5 small plates and one main between 4 us. I can’t fault the portion sizes, it’s just a shame about the food quality and the service 3/5 small plates came and then 20 minutes later we had not received the other two small plates plus the main when they finally came after chasing two separate members of staff) the chicken on the main was cold, the garlic bread was burnt and the hummus looked like it was sat open in the fridges for ages couple of days. It was busy and I understand staff were busy but a decent service would have been nice, the staff looked depressed and no smiles what’s so ever, one lady behind the bar stood giving my friend and I such dirty looks while we stood waiting to order. We did get a refund on the main £15) but for a lunch that cost over £100 I was expecting something amazing. Definitely will not be returning."

"We visit this beach and cafe every year in memory of my grandad that passed away we have never had a problem in all the years we have been coming here until yesterday! Me and my sister sat down at a table while our mum was going to order the food for us me and my sister gave our children something to eat at it was lunch time and they were hungry no where in the cafe does it say you can’t consume any food or drink from outside the cafe so we didn’t think we were doing any wrong this man walked passed us 5/y times before walking over to the other side of the cafe and shouted at us ‘PUT THAT AWAY’ my sister asked what he meant and he said ‘that food I don’t want it in my restaurant’ ok I get that he might not of wanted them to have the food in there but he could of come over to us and ask us politely and not in front of the whole cafe! It made us feel very on edge because then everyone started looking at us! It didn’t stop there so my mum had ordered the food by this point and then we was waiting for our food the food came out and it was cold, the cheese wasn’t melted in the toasties it looked like that had just put to pieces of toast together with some cheese and onion (the price they charge they should be doing the toasties properly) my mum took them up to the counter and asked for help the staff member was so rude to my mum and was really arguing with her for no reason so my mum asked for the manager the manager came over and was really helpful she apologised to my mum for her staff member arguing and kindly gave my mum a refund I am so disappointed in this experience as we have never had a problem in all the years we have been coming! I would never give a bad review but this time I feel like it needs it!"

"Visited here with my friend for lunch on the 16th Aug. We found a decent table outside, chairs were very uncomfortable. Music playing was reminiscent of a Greek taverna but became annoying as it was on a stereo played on a loop. All the sandwiches come with chips except the crab because, i was told “it’s quite a plateful”. I went ahead and ordered the white crab and lemon mayo open sandwich which at £12.50 I had high expectation of. Together with a glass of cheap tap lemonade and a small bottle of Perroni lager it came to £20.00! Sandwich was truly awful and certainly not a plateful. When I’ve had an open sandwich at other places, I’ve had both slices of bread just open with filling on both. I basically paid for one slice of bread, half a plate of various lettuce leaves and red onion, no other salad, and what can only be described as a splop of crab. The bread was tasteless and had a thick layer of the lemon mayo, the beautiful taste of the crab was completely lost in a sickly mix of more mayo. Could not taste the crab at all, what a shame. When you have crab leave it as it is, do not swamp it’s beautiful flavour in mayonnaise. It could also have been any part of the crab meat, white or brown, it was so drowned you could not tell. My friend had the applewood cheese and chutney sandwich, with chips. The first plate that came was a dry, seeded bread with very little cheese, a vague spread of what looked more like pesto and a slice of tomato. She queried this because at £9.00 it really wasn’t up to standard (photos don’t show it particularly well). A fresh plate was brought out and was much better thick plain soft brown bread nice filling of cheese and you could make out the chutney. However, the grated cheese tasted no different to a mature cheddar you could get at Tesco. No hint of any other flavour so who’s to know. On the whole we enjoyed sitting outside in the sun but the rest of the experience was very poor. Whilst in the ladies loo, another lady was saying it had been terrible they’d had to get a refund on a food order which, despite chasing the staff, never turned up. The Albion used to be a good place to get a good range of food. Now it’s just another place trying to be too fancy and is way to expensive for what you get. Will certainly not be going back here for food."

"For avoidance of doubt this isn’t a restaurant, it’s a stall with a couple of benches. Stopped for a seafood snack about midday after visiting the Turner. Disappointed that no oysters, even though the boards advertising “oysters and bubbles” were still prominently displayed. Settled for a tub of cockles instead, and they tasted great, but really not a substitute for oysters. Slightly off putting remarks from one of the three rather underemployed women in the stall she didn’t offer a card machine but waited while I found some cash, then commented “yes, people are using cash more now COVID has gone” (it hasn’t, of course, but her attitude didn’t seem out of kilter with how we had observed locals behaving)."

"This restaurant is terrible. The staff is rude and invasive, even asking young children their ages without permission from the adults. The food was okay, but the horrible service and attitude ensure that we will not return and will actively discourage others from going. Despite a party of 7 spending well, the experience was so unpleasant that we were shocked."

"An amazing selection of vegan pizzas for me, and the same of non-vegan options for my partner. We usually pick up as we are local, and the staff are always very friendly and lovely when we drop by. I always order the vegan truffle mayo as it is so delicious and they give you a good amount for the cost! If you have room for dessert, the vegan chocolate pizza with cashew cream and cherries is an amazing choice! If you are able to get them delivered to you or are nearby to pick up, I would highly recommend!"

"A group of unfriendly women "greeted" my daughter and me with sour faces. It seemed like no one knew their role, leading to a chaotic and unpleasant interaction. At one point, the card machine was shoved in my face when all I wanted was an orange juice. The final straw was when my 4-year-old was treated rudely. A server came over, snatched a napkin from our table, and made a disparaging remark about my daughter. It was simply rude and showed a complete lack of understanding of how to interact with customers, especially children. I will not be returning to this place. I might consider grabbing a coffee to go, but the service is the heart of any business, and today we saw a prime example of how it can go wrong. Disappointing."

"Had a table with a view of an amazing sunset over Margate harbour arm. Not much ambiance in the restaurant as only 2 tables were occupied. Our waiter was very obliging and patient. Starters were tasty. My mains rack of lamb was perfectly cooked as the chef really listened to how I wanted it cooked. My husbands baked aubergines were under cooked unfortunately. Desserts were delicious. Strange that there was no fish on the menu, and the wine list was quite limited. However, will definitely return and will recommend to friends."

"I have dined at this restaurant twice now, once for Sunday roast and again tonight. The Sunday roast was amazing with plenty of roast pork, delicious pork crackling, Yorkshire pudding, and excellent roast potatoes. All the vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. Tonight I had the liver, onions, and bacon dish which was superb and very filling. My wife ordered the scampi and chips, which was also excellent, and my daughter had the lasagna which was superb as well. They have a great selection of beer at reasonable prices. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!"

"this place has been infinitely better since the new management took it about 3 months ago. the new chef chef is trained restaurant so that the whole food tastes amazing and authentic, and not too fatty or salty like some other Chinese dishes. we got singapur fried noodles, special roasted rice, house special chow my, sweet and acid garnels, sweet and acidic blacks, crispy chili rip, salt and chili chips, and bananen frit for dessert and honest, it was all delicious. generous portions and cheap. will definitely come back and recommend friends. a great way to finish a nice day in ramsgate."

"A basic mistake lead to a breakfast not being so good. I ordered a breakfast,and twice asked to swap beans for an extra egg. The counter girl made numerous attempts to translate this to the cook,unfortunately he did not understand. Breakfast did arrive,quite quickly,but without the change asked for. The server left the toast with me,and by the time the new breakfast arrived the toast was cold. This was a basic service error,but cold toast is not acceptable,and due to their lack of language skills I really could not bring myself to complain. Shame,as the quality of the other ingredients,and the preparation would otherwise have resulted in a much higher rating."

"Was meant to be Christmas lunch ended up being dinner as was not even served our drinks until over an hour of being there. Meant to be a prosecco each on arrival...nope. After half an hour waiting to be seated we were told we were in the wrong table. Got moved...twice...I understand that the staff are overwhelmed but don't book so many customers if you can't handle it, I'd heard from so many people not to come here for Christmas dinner for a few years but you'd think they would learn by now. Waitress brought the wrong starters a few times, she told us off and said we were at the wrong table again..extremely rude. Food was rancid but at least we were fed because I didn't expect to be. Unfortunately we never gave a tip because the rude waitress was not getting a penny from me and there were no other staff around to give a tip to."

"Cant say enough about this place, which i believe doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Had an outstanding meal last night and the staff and service was great. Beef Wellington for two (24hrs notice) was cooked to perfection as was my starter of king scallops and pork belly which complemented each other surprisingly well. It was my wife's 50th birthday and this little gem of a restaurant did not fail to deliver with the owner being more than helpful agreeing to take receipt of flowers and presents etc to ensure my wife had some wonderful surprises to go with our beautiful meal. Well done all of the staff who helped make our evening perfect. Thank you."

"Horrible and racist staff, would never step foot in this place again! We just came into the restaurant. We were completely ignored by the first waiter and he went and attended to the people behind us. We then found a table OURSELVES and another waitress came and asked how many people were here to dine. There were 4 of us and then she told us to sit down. 2 mins after we sat down, she asks us if we had a reservation, we did not. She then told us to get up and leave the restaurant. I was shocked with her disgusting and rude behaviour and we promptly left. I am so happy that we did not spend our money in such a place. They should train their staff to be more welcoming and maybe a course in customer service since there clearly wasn't any! It won't kill anyone to mention that it's important to have a reservation or that their restaurant is full so they are not taking any walk ins at the moment. The complete absence of respect is surprising and I'm sure more customers will be put off visiting if this is what their staff is like."

"the restaurant is on three levels of exposure. the interieur is cool and characterful, the conservatory is protected, but airy, the extended balcony from the open and with magnificent view over the beautiful harbour area and the sea. the personal is pleasant...and helpful. the activities of cheery managers, roxy, are a wonder to see how they slide around the restaurant like a bee in an exotic garden, in and out flattering tired boundaries with practicable lightness. here is a happy group of flowers, a family enjoy a birthday meal; there is a romantic duo, rapture and worrying; and here a lonely flower on a eckish watch the multicolor scene, absorb the atmosphere and the flowing flut of talks. I'm well used to the Prezzo kitchens and regularly in their Canterbury restaurant. I will repeat what I have always said that the ice and the coffee are unmatched, along with an interesting menu and efficient service. a word about broadstairs. it is like a piece of cornwall, which is overlaid after kent, a picturesque bay, but with an urban hinterland. the closer they approach the sea, the more charming it becomes. it is quirky, picturesque and architecturally diverse. if they like long walks, there are many corners and cracks to explore here and on. the connection with charles thickens gives him a pronounced literary heritage and there is a museum dedicated to the great man."

"I waited at the bar for over 15 minutes without being served and completely ignored. When I asked the lady at the bar for assistance, she said to wait a minute but instead started tidying up the bar. Another customer who was already seated at the bar asked for a drink and was served before us. As a result, we decided to leave and will not be returning. We were considering having a family party at this restaurant but due to the poor service, we will be looking elsewhere."

"This is an independent gem in Birchington. I try to go in after I visit customers there. It's always busy and friendly. The staff are pleasant, polite and speedy. The homebaked cakes, though limited in choice, are delicious. Coffee is good and strong. It is...comfortable to sit alone, though I have also taken my mum, who loved the atmosphere. Always clean , and the toilet is spotless. There is also a garden for good weather."

"Called at 7pm to place an order for delivery. Was told there would be a 90min wait. No problems. Food was supposed to be delivered by 2030ish. By 2100 we was really hungry and had called to find out when the delivery was due. Was told the driver was on his way. 20 mins later still no delivery so rang again and was told the driver had left but the delivery slip had blown away so he had returned to the restaurant again but he was now once again on his way. At 2130 our order finally arrived. On a positive note the food was delicious and hot. Sadly let down by the lack of timing on the delivery. If you want a takeaway from here, go to there and collect yourself. Don’t rely on the delivery times."

"One of our favourite restaurants in Broadstairs. The food is all freshly cooked , plentiful and outstanding in terms of taste quality. All the prawn and seafood dishes are exceptional . Tim the friendly front of house manager is an amazing multi-tasker, but the owners of the restaurant are charming people too. This small and intimate restaurant which is close to the railway station in the high street is unlicensed and the added bonus is being able to take your own drinks at no extra cost. All in all outstanding value for money, a real gem in Broadstairs Parking: Parking is a bit of a lottery in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant as high street parking is in demand , but there is a choice of paid or free street parking in the surrounding areas five minutes walk from the restaurant. Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair access but as the restaurant is small , then any space or movement constraints become noticeable immediately on entry . Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Parking space: Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options Paid street parking"
