First trip to sandgate, thought we’d drive out for brunch and came across this establishment. What a lovely warm, friendly place, chilled whilst drinking our coffees and enjoy the Spanish cuisine. Would recommend to all, great place to relax.

Just passing through and found this place. Dog friendly which was important this time. Nice decor and nice choice of food. Staff were attentive and recommended a lovely beer “Boon Doggle”. Food was perfect and good value. Outside surrounding are a bit stark but this is a little oasis.

Reviewed By Rachel H

We were looking for a special place to go to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. Rocksalt did not disappoint. The food was amazing, we shared oysters to start then king prawns and I had venison which was cooked to perfection. We finished with a chocolate desert which was absolutely superb. The location is amazing overlooking the harbour and we were kept entertained by the seagulls. Although the restaurant was busy, the service was so good that we felt that we were the only ones there. The staff were attentive and very professional and they clearly loved working there. Rocksalt - you’ve got everything so right. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable lunch, we’ll definitely be back soon.Many thanks for your lovely review, we will pass your comments on to the team and we sincerely hope to see you again soon!The Rocksalt Team

The Cliffe Restaurant

Reviewed By Vicky004

We visited for my birthday on a really wet and windy night (in August)! The restaurant was quiet and we were promptly served table water and our drinks. The menu was plentiful but we both fancied the pork belly. It was honestly one of the best I’ve tried. The dish was not overbearing and there was also plenty of veg. Service was friendly and the meal was fairly priced. We will definitely return.

Sotirio's Bar & Restaurant

Reviewed By Zandell

Like previous reviewers, we've visited Sotirios in its various guises but Sunday lunch was only good. Plenty of veg, meat was ok Roast pots were hard. Unfortunately it was noisy, seats too high (still, as it was in Paul's day) and the plates needed to be hotter.Perhaps the restaurant was too full as desserts came out wrong and more upsetting we were charged twice for some of them.As it was a family do we probably won't return.

My sister & I had lunch there a few days ago. Very enjoyable. Pleasant service & a good selection of food (from sandwiches & pizzas, to cooked meals). She had a large avocado & Brie salad; I had a huge bowl of chili beef & beans topped with masses of cheese (& packed a spicy punch). Sister finished with a waffle, baked banana, ice cream & cream. We were FULL. Definitely a place to return to. Lovely basement section with comfortable squishy leather seats - would be perfect on a cold winter’s day

Reviewed By Kevin J

I booked a lunch table at Earl's for 6 people, to celebrate my mum's birthday.The food was extremely good, especially notable were the starters and main courses which were very accomplished and nicely presented. My main course, confit of duck with roast potatoes and green beans was delicious!Special Note: It is really good to to see a restaurant that is not shying away from pushing "the best of English" wine and sparkling wine on its wine list.If I had to write a negative, then I'd say that while the desserts are more than OK, they were, in my opinion, not quite of the same standard as the starter and main courses - the Key Lime pie was a tad synthetic/overly creamy......If you are in the region, it is well worth a visit.

Very good service here in a pleasantly updated building. We did find the lighting in the bar a little too bright. However, the service made up for it. Zakinah, the cocktail lady behind the bar was outstanding. Very nice service. Thank you.
