"Delightful welcome and very pleasant staff willing to engage in conversation. Excellent roast pork Sunday Lunch with fresh baby carrots, broccoli and crispy roast potatoes. The Yorkshire pudding was perfect. Plum and hazelnut tart. A real treat to have a pudding which is special to this location. After the meal it was so nice to relax in such a beautifully decorated lounge with coffee and enjoy the wonderful view across Ramsgate Harbour. Looking forward to our next visit!"

"So very very disappointing. Having read previous reviews, I specifically chose this restaurant to take my boyfriend to for his special birthday meal. Went on a Saturday night and were the first sitting of the evening. For a menu that is already very limited with...little choice, to then be told there was no rump steak and no fish of the day was a shocker. So for us non-veggies, the choice of sirloin steak, fish and chips or Burger!! Our starter of prawn cocktail came in the most awkward high cocktail glasses making it really difficult to eat! Salt and pepper pots on our table were both empty. We both went for the sirloin steak, which was very fatty. The chips were tasty, but the tomato looked either past it’s best or microwaved. The peppercorn sauce was extremely thin and not at all creamy. Overall, average, in fact I would go as far as to say the steak we had at the Premier Inn a week ago before travelling abroad was better and half the price and presented better. The restaurant itself appears high end in its appearance but totally let down by the food. The staff were very apologetic and actually embarrassed that the menu or lack of it was poor. Hence a slight reduction in our bill. "

"The food was decent, but the waiter was quite abrupt and overly persistent when taking our order. He seemed unhappy and, when explaining the appetizer to my friend, spoke to me in a condescending manner. As a 30-year-old woman, I found it inappropriate for him to suggest that he could stop talking because he was explaining it to my friend. Overall, the vibe was off, and I won't be returning."

"Visited here for afternoon tea with my work. The service was terrible, you had to chase the staff for service because after they gave us the meal they were no where to be seen and when we did get hold of them they took a ridiculous amount of time to get back to you that tea was cold. The food was not pleasant. Burnt scones, stale bread, cheesecake that can only be described as mush. When we complained the manager said we would need to complain to head office but never gave us correct info, he said he would deal with in straight away but it took days for someone to get back to us. Their reply was our staff would've been free to help if we asked even though it was stated staff were not available or if they were the time scale was ridiculous. Other people in the party also sent a email complain and never received a reply and the table behind us also complained on the day. We were apprehensive about going back here after the Christmas party wasn't very good either but thought we would give it the benefit of doubt. That was a mistake on my behalf. Wouldn't recommend!"

"A treat for Christmas Eve that both enchanted and disappointed. The Christmas ambiance was wonderful with a magnificent decorated tree and crackers on the tables. The menu was baffling, being a kind of English tapas selection. Opting for a few dishes to share, we were struck by the variety of subtle flavours although very disappointed by the size of the servings in view of the prices. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, finally let down by the waitress not bringing the change, albeit small. Service was included in the bill, but this error cost her a tip. Overall a lovely experience, but be prepared for the high prices."

"Our dinner experience at this restaurant was supposed to be a highlight of our week away during Christmas, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The main issue was that upon being seated, we were informed that many menu options were no longer available. In my 40 years of dining out, I have never encountered a list of unavailable options as extensive as this. The excuse given for the limited food availability being because it was Christmas was wholly inappropriate. Despite this disappointment, the rest of the evening was satisfactory, with the food and service being decent. Overall, it was a letdown. I would recommend that the management improve their menu planning and food ordering process for the future."

"Dinner here was supposed to be one of the highlights of a week away over Christmas. Sadly did not live up to the expectation. The main reason being that as soon as we five were seated, we were given a list of menu options of what was no longer available. In 40 years I have never faced a list of missing options in any restaurant, perhaps the odd 1 or 2 options. Disappointment was compounded by the wholly inappropriate excuse that there was insufficient food because it was Christmas!! What remained of the evening was OK, food was OK and the service was good. All in all, it was a let down. Recommend that the management up their game with regards to menu planning and food ordering in the future."

"We visited La Casita early evening on Friday before going to GLive. The food was lovely -fresh, hot and very tasty! The service was impeccable with the owner being very attentive and friendly catering for our every need. Can definitely recommend it and will be visiting again very soon."

"I was disappointed with my latest visit to this restaurant. I have had great experiences here before, but this time was not as enjoyable. I made a last-minute reservation on a Saturday night and was surprised to find no one to greet us at the door. The restaurant was nearly empty, aside from a large family group who had been there before us. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, I was unimpressed. It's a shame because this restaurant had so much potential when it first opened."

"service was exceptionally good and we were made very welcome as soon as we walked in. Food was to a good standard. Helpings erred on the generous side. enjoyed sardines with salad as starter followed by liver and mash in the italian style. Greens beans...on the side. Tried a few chips but a bit limp. had boottle of montepulciano d’abruzzo which was good and glass of calvados, also good.Waitess was Eva from Albania who was most attentive and helpful and friendly. could have done without the flashing fairy lights over the windows but that is just me."

"O It's a lovely place. Girl got our drinks wrong then we waited for minutes to order our food I had to shout the Girl over. No one came to see if we wanted to order. The food was lovely but we were there for more than hours. People who came in after us got served first and were away before we got our main course. It was our granddaughter's birthday. I was not impressed. Won't be back"

"I had to change the time of our booking because I was running late, but the staff were very helpful. We had a table for two, and one of us ordered a delicious soup for a starter while the other decided to wait for the main course. After waiting for an hour for our mains, our waitress apologized and explained that they were serving meals upstairs in the bar, so it was really busy. To make up for the wait, the waitress brought us a large complimentary glass of wine. The food was delicious and very filling, with probably the best gravy around. We will definitely be back for another visit."

"The moment you walk into this restaurant, you realise you are going into a family run business where you are going to be treated very specially. And quite simply, I can’t wait to return. We were all made to feel like we were the most...important people in the room. What made our attendance a little bit more complicated, was that there were eight of us with four children under the age of four, but the staff couldn’t be any more accommodating if they tried. Squeezing us in but still given the space and respect accordingly With a menu that boasts some of the most imaginative and mainstream options that you would expect from an Italian restaurant, it’s when taking the order that you realise that everything is bespoke and completely made fresh on site. What would appear to be a huge disappointment when we found that the half lobster pasta, which was showcased on the specials board, was no longer available, we were then presented with a waiter who wanted to showcase the very large Nigerian prawns that he could substitute with. Incredibly motivating in his presentation of this, he also highlighted that this would be a huge reduction financially. What turned up with a selection of some absolutely outstanding food. Of course these prawns served with a crayfish and calamari tomato cream tagliatelle was absolutely out of this world and probably one of the best dishes I have ever eaten in the area. But the Dover soul, pizza, and even chicken Milanese was out of this world. No similarity in flavour, everything was made to each other’s tastebuds without just chopping and churn in the same sauces in every dish. What secured an outstanding set of service was when we found out that one of the deserts was also not available as they had run out of strawberries to create the eton mess. Within seconds the head waiter pulled cash out of his pocket and instantly another waiter went outside, jumped on his motorbike, and drove up to the local shop to buy some strawberries so we were able to have the dessert! I cannot think of another time or restaurant where they will give so much special attention to make sure that their guess got what they wanted. Brilliant. Outstanding food. Outstanding service, what an absolutely wonderful restaurant!"

"Fantastic meal at Headlam Hall Hotel. Both my wife and I really enjoyed our meals. The Orangery dining room is a lovely backdrop for the food that was well presented, exceptionally tasty and, unlike many meals out these days, well portioned. The menu certainly lives up to the claim of Modern British cooking using locally sourced ingredients. My Tandoori lamb scotch egg starter was very flavoursome, a great combination... and even had a runny yolk! Both mains (belly pork/fillet of beef) tasted great, and the meats were succulent. My chocolate cheesecake was to die for, and Vanessa's Baked Parkin, salted caramel sauce, brandy snap and black treacle ice cream was a very clever and harmonious combination of flavours. Service was efficient and friendly but not over-obtrusive. All in all, it was one of the best meals we have had in a long time. Thank you."

"Since this got took over by Indians it’s gone right down hill, I used to be a regular at the great lovely big standard the people before set but chicken tikka chips sent be violently ill for 12 hours out of both holes same time, a chicken bap 2 weeks later (they were looking inside the big square boxes ring to detect what meat it was) with apple sauce stuffing, that sent me running to the toilet too. Il only ever use them for a plain portion chips if I ever have to. What’s with the vapes and alcohol fridge on counter, it may aswell be an off license greediness which has hopefully gone against them. Far cry from the high standard English chip shop previous owners great staff ran, brilliant people they were. Now half the portions for more money.Such a shame it came to this, I never knew they were selling up. Makes my property nearby devalued, nothing to boast about anymore."

"The experience was mediocre. Unfortunately, we were isolated from the rest of the table. We were seated in an awkward spot between two groups, leading to us feeling excluded. The chefs focused their attention on the other diners first before cooking for us. The food was decent, but it was clear that some chefs were more enthusiastic than others. It was unusual to be asked to move to another table for the final course. Overall, we left feeling quite disappointed."

"We tried the restaurant for our anniversary and weren’t disappointed. Despite some previous reviews that aren’t that great, we thought we’d try it and I can honestly say it was absolutely wonderful. The service is old school and excellent. We were extremely well looked after and we both thought the food was absolutely first class. It is a very old building and as such the decor and atmosphere is very ‘of its time’. It’s not modern and 21 century styled. It is sympathetic to its history which we loved. The gazpacho was delicious (no need for croutons and keep it really cold please) and the scallops, lamb and accompaniments were absolutely delicious. My husband had a fillet steak and he was very happy cooked rare as he likes it and tender and delicious. The pavlova could have been better (ice cream instead of cream and the meringue poss not homemade) but honestly for the money it was excellent value. We had a really wonderful evening and will definitely return. Please do give it a go."
