Service and Staff

Pros:

• "How welcoming the staff were. They were fun and friendly, with a real warmth that made a guy on his own feel totally relaxed."
• "Attended here for dinner and the service was exquisite."
• "Such lovely friendly staff. Could not have done more for us."
• "My wife and I arrived starving and without a booking and the delightful staff was super accommodating."
• "Great food in a great location. Good menu options for veggies, vegans and gluten free. The icing on the cake were the staff; attentive, friendly and nothing was too much trouble."
• "Visited yesterday with elderly mother and my sister...outstanding food, friendly staff and great views."
• "Always very welcoming, service is very efficient, friendly and at an extremely good standard."
• "From start to finish we absolutely enjoyed our time at this incredible restaurant. The staff were all welcoming, but genuinely so, and very attentive."

Cons:

• "However, a few minutes later a service person came to me and requested that I leave my place and take a seat outside the restaurant's area."
• "Worst thing was the service. Left for ages without anyone asking what we wanted for dessert so we decided not to bother."
• "The drinks are to expensive at £6.00 for a pint of beer, and my main meal, Steamed mussels in sauce arrived incomplete !"
• "Was here 2 or 3 weeks ago on a Sunday morning needing breakfast after a long walk. The Local St Peters Sausage Butty on the takeaway breakfast menu grabbed my attention, especially at £6.95. That's a fair whack for a sandwich described as 'Locally sourced sausages served on local sourdough with chef's red onion marmalade'."
• "I had a horrible experience yesterday. We were cycling from Margate to Ramsgate when we stopped off at Jetty for food - there was no table available at the Bistro as we didn't book beforehand, so we decided to get food to go from the hatch but still part of the restaurant."
• "Terrible booking system!!! Few weeks ago I was trying to book a table for 8 for evening for business dinner. Day after I had to increase the number and it was approved. However the booking day around 12.15 very rude lady from bistro called me and said our booking is cancelled since we are not there."

Location and Ambiance

Pros:

• "Location is great so is service."
• "Eating good food with and amazing view and an atmosphere that is cosy (we were there in winter), but not stuffy made for a memorable meal."
• "The views and location are great. You need to book and it gets really busy in the summer, so book ahead to avoid disappointment."
• "Love this little spot on beach at Broadstairs."
• "Beautiful location right on the end of the jetty in Broadstairs, overlooking the beach."
• "Lovely sea views and parking on the jetty makes it very accessible."
• "Exquisite food, tranquil setting for a reasonable price."
• "We were fortunate enough to sit out on the terrace in the evening sun. We were delighted with our food."

Cons:

• "However, don't understand why the bill carries so many mandatory taxes?!"
• "The location, atmosphere and service here is great. My criticism comes mainly from the pricing of food in comparison to portion sizes and quality of food to justify it."
• "It is quite small so they don't have much choice but put tables close to each other."
• "Had to sit on an outside table on one of the windiest days so far this year!! Managed to get sun/wind burn as well."
• "We ate here last night. Firstly the staff were absolutely 💯 % fantastic .The service was 2nd to none. The food was delicious. Prawn cocktail to start .steak and truffle parmesan chips for main with side salad and chocolate brownie for pud."
• "A typical seaside experience! No fish and chips visible on the menu outside, so we gave our custom to a very close-by fish and chip outlet. Wooden seats on the pier were rather hard!"
