"Just ordered a regular pizza with chicken pasta. Delivered very quickly within 25 mins."
"The service is way too fast also, we were in and out in 50 minutes for 2 courses and 2 drinks."
"The waitress was not expecting me to say no. She was unable to respond to me still being hungry and slid to another table, pretending my response never happened."
"I booked a table online in advance, was called by someone from a restaurant to reconfirm the time - on my arrival, noone new there was a reservation, I had to fight to get a proper table and was asked to demonstrate my booking twice."
"Stopped here one evening for the 2 for £10 cocktails. And they are beautiful. Next day stopped here for some lunch and the calamari with the white bait was tasty."
"First time dining here,really busy place with a good atmosphere. Got served quickly..in fact a bit too quickly!"
"But what made us concern is that we smelled weed from a waiter. We were smelling strong weed from somewhere, and eventually found when one waiter comes to us the smell was coming."
"I had a nice lunch here today.Ordered the calzone which was lovely but everyone elses food looked gorgeous.l will go for the fish next time after seeing my pals sea bass with squid."
"horrible service, bad food all without quality and without salt, the orders came all wrong, canceled our orders, changed the table dishes I do not recommend."

"Lovely cosy and friendly atmosphere with the added bonus of being pet friendly as well as Vegan friendly."
"Saturday afternoon singer and pianist, songs from musicals, ballads, Beatles and much more. Very nice way to spend an afternoon! Staff very efficient and friendly."
Cons:
"I think the restaurant being split across two floors probably meant it wasn't as cosy as it could have been, but it's not a deal breaker."
"Mediocre experience… I will go back because it’s in a good location and I like pasta. But I had the lobster ravioli, all the sea food was over cooked so it was rubbery/shrunken."
"The service is way too fast also, we were in and out in 50 minutes for 2 courses and 2 drinks."
"There was no time to digest your starters before the main was dumped on the table."
"Lastly, the owner or manager needs to pull his head in and check his ego. We witnessed him berate one of his young waitresses in the middle of the restaurant. Any decent manager would take someone to one side and have word if needed."
"My friends and I had a lovely evening here on Friday. The veggie pizzas were delicious and the service was great!"
"Warmly welcomed at this establishment on a wet Sunday evening in Folkestone, when only a few restaurants were open. Food a little disappointing. Lasagna cold in the middle for example."
"Never again. It went very bad from very beginning. The attitude of manager, when he tried to give us table next to the main entrance! Unreasonable expensive!"
"Very stressed out atmosphere. Such rude staff! And a complete disorganization, running and shouting around and banging stuff."
"horrible service, bad food all without quality and without salt, the orders came all wrong, canceled our orders, changed the table dishes I do not recommend."
