The Cliffe Restaurant

Really great food and a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant and bar . I would definitely recommend and will also return again . I had the sea bass . It was delicious and the sweet potato fries and vegetables were also really tasty .

Great food and service. Spacious restaurant without unnecessary ambient noise. Very good range of choices on the menu. Attentive but not overbearing service. Everything was delicious.

Lovely as always! Took my dad for a meal and he loved it

So happy we found this lovely place, Amazing choice of food and drinks and very nice inside the Hotel also the staff made you feel very welcome and they were very attentive. Cant wait to return!! 😁

Always great here amazing food and amazing cocktails. Our favourite place to eat

I had Crab starter and sea bass for main - full up so no room for dessert! Lovely meal. Good service. Cocktails made to high standard.

lovely stuff, even lovlier view right across the channel to France!

A beautiful place in a lovely setting. The staff were friendly and attentive which was great The food was delicious and there was a good choice on the menu We will definitely be returning.

As always an exceptionally great meal provided. Staff wonderfully knowledgable regarding menu. Setting breathtaking. Think I may have found a new favourite in the pork belly would overly recommend giving it a try I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Thank you The Cliffe as always a great evening spent.

It was My Fathers 94th Birthday, he is a bit hard of hearing but short as is my step mother, chairs were very low for tables and uncomfortable even forty wife and myself, cutting in on back of legs, people management should always when buying furniture should try them out first, had to get cushions for shorter older parents not a big problem but shame about chairs. Starters were OK but not wow in any sense, had Sunday lunch before here was all very good, still same chairs still cut off legs. The mains I had steak and so did my wife these were very good and enjoyed them, also prawn and muscle salad for father was good, but the lamb mum had was tough and hard work, did not complain as that is not their way, but just saying for them as not a cheap meal. Only benefit was some of the lamb went home for the dog wrapped in tissues, he did not find it tough!

The restaurant is in a lovely spot. The waiting on staff were attentive and knowledgeable, and most of all, the food was excellent. It really was the perfect way to start our holiday before heading off to France the following morning.

We have eaten at this restaurant a few times and it has always been amazing, really pleasant staff and food was on time, would recommend to anyone

My family and I enjoyed our Sunday lunch. It was beautifully cooked, presented and efficiently served. We look forward with pleasure to our next dining experience with you.

Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Food was well presented and flavoursome. Nice ambience and our table had a lovely sea view across the English Channel

The food is absolutely amazing, the service is absolutely amazing, the drinks are amazing, such a lovely place shame they have to deal with rude customers who think it’s ok to click their fingers for service

The food was very nicely prepared and tasted very good as usual. Unfortunately, though our young waiter was very attentive, we did have to wait a long time for our main course. It seemed this was most likely due to the kitchen staff. When we called this to the manager’s attention the matter was rectified.

Delicious food, friendly staff in a lovely setting. The overall experience was very good. The only negative for us, was as it was a Monday night it was very quiet, so ambience was lacking. However I would definitely return as the food was fabulous.

Only things that could be improved would be linen table cloths and more ambient lighting. Service was excellent and food fabulous. Wine list good if a little limited.

A great experience. Relaxed environment, attentive staff and pleasant afternoon tea. We were offered a choice of table and were made to feel very welcome. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely artwork depicting local places of interest. The food was absolutely delicious, a varied menu and excellent service with a smile. I recommend this restaurant highly.

Excellent food and friendly staff. Had a very enjoyable afternoon for a birthday and wedding anniversary. I would recommend for anyone looking for somewhere to have Sunday dinner

We went on Saturday afternoon for lunch and had burgers with fries. The food was delicious. Very tasty. The service was also very good. Efficient yet friendly at the same time. I would go back.

We were offered a choice of tables and chose one near a window. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable and the service was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, with excellent seasoning and attractive presentation. We would definitely return!

Food was amazing. Service was quick. Staff were friendly and helpful. This was our first time going to the restaurant and we’ll definitely be returning!

Nice food great service would definitely recommend to our friends and family. All staff friendly, nice atmosphere created in the restaurant. Bar area modern, served good choice of drinks.

Lovely food, great setting - service was a little hit and miss. Very slow for the starters to come out, mains came out at different times.

Food and service was great as always. Can't wait for my next visit. We even had a great view of the storm coming in a cross the channel.

Overall very good. We had the roast pork, which was very tender, with veggies and all of it was hot. The dessert, coconut & passion fruit panna cotta with granola & pomegranate, was very refreshing and tasty. The speed and quality of service was also very good. We shall certainly go again.

Food was superb and the staff very attentive. Restaurant ambience was very relaxing resulting in an enjoyable evening. Pre dinner cocktails can be recommended! 👍

As always wonderful setting, mouth watering food and attentive staff. Can’t wait to come back.

Excellent food (with an interesting and varied menu); great location with sea views; and friendly service. What more could you want from a family lunch? Highly recommended.

Lovely meal, food was good, service good and a rather humerous bar man who lite up the afternoon. Only thing disappointing was being charged for extra bread 😜

All the food was wonderful but especially the beautiful seafood flavours. Table service was excellent and everyone very friendly. This was a memorable night out.

Obviously hit them at a bad time as 1 member of staff only who was not present on arrival. He did his best. Food standard adequate. However, appetizers on the menu were olives £3.20 and bread with olive oil and balsamic also 3.20. I ordered a plate of olives only. It had not arrived for some while so I prompted the gentleman, whereupon he eventually brought a plate of olives accompanied by some pieces of bread. When I remarked on the bread he said it was because we' d had to wait so long. Alas, when the bill came, the charge was "olives and bread, £4.20". This is a small point but bad behaviour. It tipped an already borderline experience into a negative one. We will not be returning.

Fast and efficient service at reasonable prices, great location and nice atmosphere. Would recommend to a friend and will be returning to sample the cocktail menu

Great food.Friendly service.Wonderful clean toilets.Lovely views.Will go again.Very nice selections of starters and the dessert selection is also very good.There was no rush and had a very enjoyable meal with friends

We visited with friends and the choice of menu was very good. We all enjoyed our different meals and the staff were very attentive. We will be dining there again.

It was Our first visit today.... Lovely decor, friendly attentive service and delicious food. Very child friendly and accommodating. We will be back! Thank you.

Great food staff fantastic price very reasonable great views spacious and not squashed in so do go there what else is there to say ?

Fantastic restaurant in a wonderful location. My favourite place to eat.

Excellent food as always. Waiting staff lovely but they seemed not to be fully trained. We were offered lamb either rare or well done. We wanted medium which we did get in the end after the waiting staff consulted with the chef. Pudding to share did not come with additional plates or utensils. The food is lovely but at the prices charged, one would expect first rate service and more attention to detail.

Great food, lovely staff too. Really enjoyed the evening. Both A La carte and bar menu was offered, we chose the sirloin steak and it was absolutely delicious. Cheese board was delicious too. Would definitely go back next time I am staying over in Folkestone

Booked at lunch for husbands birthday. Lovely old building decorated with a modern twist. Service was excellent. We only ordered the Cliffe burger but it was probably the best burger we’ve ever had. The manager is very welcoming and spent time chatting to us. As it was my husband’s birthday, he bought out a free glass of bubbly for us both which was a very nice touch. After our meal he let us have a look at one of the rooms which was stunning for a hotel room. Large bathroom with separate roll top bath and large bedroom with fireplace overlooking the sea. We will definitely be returning to try the evening menu and will book an overnight stay for my birthday!

Beautiful location serving fresh mouth watering food. The scallops are cooked to perfection! Staff excellent and cocktails moorish can’t wait to go back. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic restaurant nice and close to the Leas Cliff Hall. Staff were all polite and so helpful. Meal was beautiful, as was the pudding :o), will definitely visit again. Thank you

Food was lovely and the waiter was very attentive. We had fillet steaks and linguine and they were perfectly cooked. Highly recommend this place along with its cocktails! X

Good menu selection. Great food with good and friendly service

Good evening enjoyed by all. Cannot find fault with food and table service. The prices are however, fairly expensive for the area so if this restaurant is going to maintain these prices staff must pay attention to areas that people expect from a 'high end' restaurant including taking coats on arrival, pouring wine on behalf of guests, checking all is acceptable after food is served.

Great food and good attentive service even though busy when we went. Would highly recommend to anyone for family meals, friends or just a couple

Beautiful location overlooking the sea, with delicious food in imaginative preparation. Highly attentive wait staff. For anyone visiting the area, this restaurant is extremely recommended.
