"A really disappointing visit. It started poorly when after just 5 minutes we had to ask to move tables as the air con unit we were sat under was dripping on to us and the table. The people on table opposite laughed and told us that 15 minutes beforehand another party had asked to move from the same table for exactly the same reason. Bemused why the front of house gave us this table when others were available and they knew there was an issue?? Service was poor. Waiter was very pleasant. We waited what seemed an eternity (best part of 1 hour) for starters with the waiter coming over voluntarily and apologising for the delay. Starters were good. Mains were a real let down. The 2 who had the red mullet were really disappointed and both said it was bland tasting. I had the chicken and whilst it was ok it wasn’t a very exciting or tasteful dish. Cheese board was good. Two other small points but things for the restaurant to pick up on. We ordered dessert wines. A young waiter came over and said “two white wines”? We said we had ordered dessert wines and he said “ I don’t know, maybe that’s what they are”. That’s really poor for a high end expensive restaurant. Final gripe was we paid a £40 deposit. When the bill came it hadn’t been deducted. Given we were told every booking had to pay a deposit for the themed evening this should never have happened and demonstrated a lack of attention to detail. Such a shame it was a really disappointing evening especially as we have had some great meals here before. Standards seemed to have slipped and we will avoid a themed night in the future."

"Visiting Port Patrick again today we thought we would try a new place to eat. We normally eat at the same place here but today with chose the Crown Hotel. When you walk into the crown you see how old it is and I must admit it looks quant but a little dated. After finding a seat and deciding what to eat I went to the bar to order food and drinks. The service from the member of staff were pleasant and welcoming. We ordered 2 cokes and 2 stake and ale in a pudding one with chips and one with baby potatoes. We were charged a few pence short of £39 and given 2 cans of coke and asked would we like a glass with them? £4.80 for 2 cans of coke) Going back to the table I sat down and within less than 5 minutes our food was there on our table. I always worry when the food is so quick as I never feel it properly prepared fresh for you and when you are paying £17 a meal you at least want something fresh-ish. WHAT REALLY ANNOYED ME was while we were eating our food people were bringing dogs into the bar past our table to talk to a guy sat next to us. Chatting away these dogs were just sat by our feet as we ate. No one seemed to care about these dogs brushing up against people eating a meal. The food The baby potatoes were ok, the pudding was a frozen one you would get from a supermarket, the veg was hard, the meat was dry and bland and the gravy tasteless. I would say this food was a preprepared meal and just placed into a microwave. I don’t like to be so blunt in my reviews as this is always someone’s business and livelihood was are talking about, but this really was that bad. The service during the meal was none existent. When the waitress came to take our plates she did not seem surprised when I complained about our food, saying only I’ll pass it on. No apologies or anything. Even with me saying the food was especially the veg was disgusting. It was like water off a ducks back. Will I eat here again NO sadly the service and the food was very poor."

"First time visiting with my partner and month old. We were running a bit late as we struggled to find parking so of course I rang up to let them know we’d be about minutes late shouldn’t of been an issue! I was spoken to so rudely by a man who said “so you’re minutes late and going to be another minutes?” I explained the situation and he then hung up. I’ve worked in hospitality for years and I know, as would anyone, that this is not the way to speak to your customers! When we arrived the only man working was the manager which makes this even worse as it was obviously him who I had spoke to on the phone. A manager should definitely not be speaking to customers like this. We were then sat in an area of the restaurant that was right at the back where no other customers were sat!! There was plenty of nicer tables further at the front and I feel like the manager sat us here as punishment for being late?!?! If I wasn’t breastfeeding then I would have pulled him up on this but since we wanted a quieter area then we just sat there. The service was slow to being with, I think we had been forgotten about as we were so far back. The food was nice and the rest of the staff were great. But the way I was spoke to was out of order and to be honest he’s lucky he even had our custom after being spoke to like that before even arriving! We spoke to the manager at the end about the poor service we had received and he didn’t seem bothered in the slightest! Lovely restaurant with lovely views but the owners should be choosing more carefully as to who they let run this place!!! So disappointing"

"This is an honest and fair review Me and my partner came here on Saturday evening. This was our first time coming here, having lived in herne bay for 20+ years in quite surprised I haven't been before. But I must say, we was both left feeling disappointed. The food was good and so was the service , but the whole restaurant seriously lacks finesse. Where we was sat all you could see was the buildings from outside , which aren't the nicest looking buildings. So that instantly reminds you that you’re in the middle of town that is very run down. There was music on, but was so quiet and was like spa music (where’s the theme in this place? my gin and my partners beer both came in a tumbler glass, our meals was brought to us one by one just in hand (no tray? Or serving table you see where I’m going with this? Point is, it felt like we was sat in a cafe eating a dinner. I can’t understand what the theme of this place is? There is no theme. Such small adjustments to this place would change the game! • Proper glasses for the right drinks • Thai , Chinese style music • take the frosted glass on the window all the way up so you feel your somewhere else and not looking at those buildings • plants , Chinese Thai ornaments something to resemble the theme • candles on tables , meals brought with finesse etc etc etc. Other than this; everyone was really polite and friendly and food was good. But because of the reasons I have said I wouldn’t spend money on this place again. UNLESS it was to make adjustments. I really hope this review helps the business and takes this on board."
