Food Quality
Pros:
"I would definitely highly recommend this place as the quality of the food was perfect."
"Our lamb fajitas were excellently spiced with just enough heat to make it enjoyable."
"The poached eggs with beetroot marinated salmon was excellent."
"The duck tacos and pan fried prawn as starters were equally mind-blowing!"
"The eggs benedict was prepared to perfection."
"Food (breakfast) is the best in Deal, by far."
"Lovely food served quickly, with one of the best hot chocolates that I've had for a long time."
"Fantastic food- so we made a booking for steak and lobster- what's not to like?!!!!"
Cons:
"Had the full breakfast but must say although it was nice it wasn't the best."
"The homemade baked beans weren't great (very hard kidney beans) the sausage was tasty but very dry."
"The meal, and its subsequent replacement, were struck from the bill, but the fact that it even made it to the table unnoticed is unacceptable."
"We ordered 3 meals they were meant to be lunch all of the dishes were like a side dish and not really anything you could call lunch."
"The fish goujons ordered as a replacement were overcooked the outer so crunchy and dry that they were also inedible."
"The food was under par. The mushrooms had shrunk to nearly nothing, the granary toast wasn't toasted so got a bit soggy."
"Food took over half an hour to come, fish was very greasy and parts of the meal were cold."
"The breakfast was average at best and I appreciate that the facilities are shared with the Pier however should be monitored by the restaurant to ensure that they are clean for their customers."
Service
Pros:
"Very friendly and attentive staff. We couldn't have been happier and look forward to returning."
"Staff was very friendly and the food excellent."
"The staff were lovely, helpful and quick to assist."
"The only thing that beat the food was the staff. Honestly, they were so kind, chatty attentive, not over-bearing- totally amazing."
"The staff were very attentive and ensured we had a pleasant time."
"Staff service and location fantastic, but depending on where you might usually find yourself for an all day breakfast, price is on the higher side."
"Really friendly staff who went out of their way for us with two young babies."
"Very welcoming staff as always, had full English breakfast, ate the lot.! (Maybe hot drink(cup) could have been included in price.)"
Cons:
"Had to make an edit. It was soo good that we came back next day for another brunch, had different dishes and again great food. Service a bit slower even if they had fewer customers."
"Service was ok, it was very busy and several times we tried to get staff attention and couldn’t."
"The service was unfortunately slow, luckily we weren't on a time limit."
"Waited hour and half for starter and 30 minutes for main. Extremely slow and food portion's were tiny."
"However, the food was fine but a bit pricey. But we went for the location and were not disappointed."
"However can be a little breezy to get there sometimes!."
"Came in for the steak and lobster night on the Friday... Then waited an hour for our mains Two rare Steaks and Lobster, when we got the food it was cold."
"We waited for 1hour for the order, and still it wasn't ready."
Location & View
Pros:
"Great service, great food and stunning views as usual."
"A really gorgeous brunch served here. Fantastic location. We were blessed with the weather."
"Brilliant! A great venue at the end of the pier with a lovely modernist restaurant, with all round panoramic views of the English Channel and Deal."
"One would think being on a prime tourist location to be that sort of place overpriced and low quality. This is not the case at all."
"Views to die for too."
"Great food super tasty, excellent coffee, it’s perfect place if you are looking for somewhere to have a nice breakfast, brunch and lunch, the place it’s located at the end of the pier that means, the view at this point it’s beautiful."
"Amazing location at the end of Deal’s pier with fantastic views of the beach and sea and a peaceful atmosphere."
"Unbeatable view/experience especially when you clearly see France across the Channel or the lights of Deal twinkling at dusk."
Cons:
"We went for lunch today. A horrible, very wet and windy day. The place was busy and we were told that we had to wait."
"Only came for coffee and croissant but both were excellent. Obviously using high-quality ingredients and preparing with care. Superb location at the head of Deal pier."
"Can’t rate the food, couldn’t get in because of ridiculous time outside in the wind with a disabled visitor who I took along for a treat. We had to walk back empty handed."
"We waited for 1hour for the order, and still it wasn't ready."
"The location is the main selling point, with its choice of views of the sea or Deal's picturesque sea front, and it's a great place for a warming drink after a bracing walk."
"Location, location, location. Superb views from the end of the pier while you tuck into exquisite food."
"The view of the sea and Deal beachfront from the end of the pier is outstanding."
"Location, location, location. Superb views from the end of the pier while you tuck into exquisite food."
Ambiance and Atmosphere
Pros:

"What a great spot for brunch, views over the sea, nice design, and food and service were amazing."
"Brilliant! A great venue at the end of the pier with a lovely modernist restaurant."

"A beautiful place for a meal. We went there for breakfast. Stunning view over the ocean."
"Very pet friendly too."
"In the sun, like today, lovely. Dog-friendly restaurant/cafe was good, served me a lovely take-away latte."
Cons:
"Smelled of compost decomposing, staff moved us to another table but smelled the same."
"Apologies in advance to the owners as the restaurant does look lovely and I’m only sorry not to have had a chance to experience it."
"Had a lovely brunch here the other morning... On such a sunny day it would have been nice to have the doors open and outdoor seating as it was a little stuffy inside."
"Current Government regulations apply."
"Not sure why people are forced to queue outside due to supposed fire regulations when the boxes of cleaning materials are more of a fire risk and also a trip Hazard if the lights went out."
"Brilliant ..... Had a 20 min wait but glad we did. Staff kept coming out keeping us informed of roughly how long then all compliance with new covid laws."
"A nice place, prices are a little on the high side and the menu offering is a little thin."
"Every time I have been to this place the food has been very slow."
