Food fantastic,we all had great time. Staff were excellent. Could not find fault Will be back
As with our previous visit, the service was slow. We were going to a show at Leas Cliff Hall, start time 8pm. Our table was booked for 5.45pm., we left the restaurant at 7.35pm. Would have liked a bit more time before finishing our meal and the start of the show. The food was exceptional.
Excellent menu food beautiful ample portions Staff brilliant Throughly enjoyable visit will be back
overall a very nice experience would go again. service good
I always enjoy my visits but this time it was a bit noisy as it was 7pm and children eating.. Will dine later next time!
The Cliffe Restaurant is faultless in service and food. I have been frequenting the venue since the place opened. Thoroughly recommend. Special thanks to Hannah Restaurant Supervisor.
The food was fantastic, the staff were fantastic and the setting is marvellous
The evening was okay, but probably won’t be rushing back.
I can't rate this place highly enough, that's the second amazing meal we have had at The Cliffe Restaurant. My meal was tender, full of flavour and delightful. The staff were fantastic and I can't wait to come back for more. It's definitely the best steak I've ever eaten, somebody please give the chef a pat on the back from us. I'll stop typing now as I'm getting hungry!
Lovely restaurant a land food and great staff too, very attentive and polite.
Food was good as usual but service way off normal standard of friendliness. Booked for lunch as have done many times before we were given the a la carte menu, we have always been given the lunch menu in the past so I asked for this and we were told in a very abrupt manner that we would need to decide as a party which menu we were having as the kitchen could not cope with some of us choosing the lunch menu & others the a la carte, & as we had booked the restaurant we should choose off the a la carte! Our party was a party of 6 & the restaurant was very quiet! & the bar wasn’t busy either!
Lovely fresh ingredients. The food was extremely tasty. Great dinner.
Sat outside in sun overlooking the sea. Great food and obliging staff. Will be back!
The food was very nice Had a lovely table over looking the garden not squashed in at all The price was expensive but it was my birthday meal out
Food was excellent and very good service. Staff were very friendly
The food and service were excellent. The food service was very slow but it was so hot and fresh that it didn’t matter.
Low chairs, loud music and cold food. Memorable but for all the wrong reasons.
Lovely Staff, Delicious Food, Nice views of the sea. 😁
Great value for money Sunday roast, huge portions. Would recommend.
Nice afternoon tea and good value for money. I would recommend
It was a very quiet night - we were the only people booked to eat so we had very good service.
Could not fault The Cliffe Restaurant. Staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was excellent.
Great stay at the The View Hotel - big thanks to Luke (sorry if I have your name wrong) for helping us with our Scottish money.
Lovely environment and great food & service. Enjoyed very much
Staff are always very friendly and out to please nothing is too much trouble. The lunch menu is very limited though
The waitress didn’t know anything about the menu and service was at best glacial. Our starters were fine but the mains were a disaster. The fillet steaks were so thought and very Poor’S quality meat full of sinuw, we sent those back and the chef admitted that they were not acceptable, so how did they get sent out?? The sea bass was on a cold base and barely warm itself We were offered a voucher towards a free meal but declined as wild horses will not get me back there again.
Slow service, took one hour before food came out. Felt rushed to get to theatre show.
Food was absolutely lovely couldn’t have wished for better. Perfect.
Fantastic food, great service. Would recommend the pork belly and the sticky toffee pudding.
Although the restaurant was very quiet so lacked a little atmosphere the service and quality of the food made up for it. We will come again
Lovely food and very attentive staff, been there quite a few times now and never had a bad experience, highly recommended and it’s one of the few restaurants in Folkestone that’s have maintained standards
Roast dinner really good, choice of meats and food portion. Starter really nice didn’t have room for pudding though. Good service and nice views. Recommended.
Dined from a la carte menu while overnighting in hotel. F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S! Having successfully tried the tapas meu in the bar for lunch we had high expectations for dinner- we were certainly not disappointed! Excellent service, delicious food and great value! Highly recommended, thank you!
Excellent food and the staff are very pleasant although slightly unorganised. Surprised they don’t have a menu of what spirits they have, my partner had to go and look at the till to see what spirits he could choose from. Waited 40 minutes for our main meals. We noticed other tables being served their mains before us even though we had been there longer. We didn’t mention anything as we were in no rush and were enjoying sitting and drinking our drinks. The waitress eventually bought our meals over and apologised for the wait. They also forgot my dessert and it was only that one of the waiters noticed I had been given cutlery and had sat waiting for a while that he chased it up and found that our ticket had been missed by the kitchen. Not really sure what the problem was with our table and missing our orders but we didn’t complain. The lemon meringue dessert wasn’t very nice, too sweet and the meringue was a runny mess but our seabass main meals and the Thai mussels and soft shell crab starters made up for what the dessert lacked. Although service was a bit of a let down we will definately return.
Great service. Holly is very good at front of house. Good choice of food, well cooked and presented. Lovely wine. What more can you ask for?
Marvellous relaxing Sunday lunch, Staff extremely friendly and helpful, wonderful surroundings. We will certainly be returning, we also understand that they are going to have some musical entertainment in the near future.
Always made to feel welcome at the Cliffe. Excellent food and very attentive staff. A cocktail is a must, the best in Folkestone . See you again soon.
Lovely meal and our waitress was brilliant ! Food a bit slow to come out but definitely worth the wait ! Will come again soon
The food was cold had to be sent back to the kitchen to reheat. The gravy should be served separately not pored over the meal the food was swimming in gravy. The staff were pleasant but a bit more training would be good. Overall disappointing.
It was a fantastic evening. Not only was the service attentive but the food was of a very high standard. A definite revisit is in order.
Sunday lunch. Excellent starters, slightly over cooked beef, dry Yorkshire but nicely done veg. Good tart but the lemon overpowered the elderflower. All nicely presented by competent staff.
Beautiful surrounds and excellent efficient service Had the fish and chips and was delicious Sticky toffee pudding very nice Will definitely be back very soon
Another wonderfully mouth watering meal in picturesque settings. Staff and atmosphere amazing. This really is a hidden gem. Can’t wait to return.
Excellent Sunday lunch, had roast beef lovely and tender, great yorkshire puddings and crispy potatoes with plenty of vegetables. lovely setting on the Leas with very friendly staff.
Fantastic food, drink, service and atmosphere. We went for a birthday celebration and had the perfect night. Not one fault could be going. Extremely happy 😃
The food is incredible. The staff are extremely helpful and accommodating. They are great to talk to and are happy to have a laugh. The cocktails are faultless. Amazing evenings.
The menu had changed to the one sent on the e-mail. Nevertheless the menu was good. The food was excellent, and the service from the waitress was also excellent. Would definitely recommend a visit.
A nice place. Good food, good service. Reasonably priced too. Would return. It’s a bistro type restaurant, rather than traditional dining. Could probably do with more of an atmosphere.
Food was beautiful and very reasonably priced for the quality of food, the staff were lovely and went out of there way to make sure we were happy an amazing night
This place has a great bar for drinks before and after you meal making it ideal for a complete night out. It’s not fast food but what you get is excellent and service is first rate.
