The Court Yard Oyster Bar And Restaurant

My 2nd time here and was even better than the first. We had dinner, excellent food, well presented and delicious. Harry served us and was pleasant and attentive. Looking forward to another visit.

Was on the list of restaurants recommended by the owner of our holiday let he said excellent Sunday lunch so initially had not looked at the restaurant for dinner what a big mistake atmosphere brilliant staff so friendly and chatty and as for the food AMAZING

Great restaurant. Great food choice. Really quick service. Attentive and friendly staff. Food looked appetising. Food tasted lovely, arrived quick, was hot. Can’t grumble about anything. We hadn’t booked but we were seated even though it was a busy Friday evening. Staff were really accommodating. We will definitely return. Would recommend to anyone thinking of going here for sure.

We came here today for the first time for a Sunday roast and it was delicious. My friend and I had the shoulder of lamb and it came with roast potatoes, roasted root veg, cauliflower cheese, seasonal veg, a huge yorkshire and a boat of gravy. The food was fresh, it arrived to the table piping hot and the portions were generous. We agreed it was great value £17.95) for a first class roast dinner can’t wait to come back for my next Sunday roast.

A gem of a place. Great food and lovely friendly staff. We had fish dish dishes which were perfectly cooked and around £20 which included vegetables which we thought for the quality was excellent value. Plaice with capers and green beans and new potatoes with herb crust was delicious. Two members of staff Harry and Katie (the latter recommended a great place for us to eat in Sandwich) were both charming. I had a waffle desert which was indulgent! The only thing I don’t like about the place is the copious amounts of fake greenery! Other than that I would definitely recommend if you’re in Deal.

What a find!! This is a truly lovely restaurant! Trendy and very atmospheric but not pretentious or overly done, so it offers lovely relaxed, light, surroundings too. The food and drinks are absolutely stunning… we just popped in for cocktails and had three each all different but all spot on and beautifully presented. The bread and dipping oils were divine and best we’ve had in a long time. And we saw little mini soups going out as appetisers which guests were raving about. The service was very attentive but non intrusive too. Extremely clean too! Loved every part of it, will definitely be back thank you!!

Been here several times before and has been nice, although not been for a couple of years. Thought would bring friends as they hadnt been to the area before. There are now no specials and we ordered a variety of food which was nice but not amazing. There were no desserts that interested me but 2 of our group had the eton mess which was just a small bowl plonked on the table with fruit and cream and barely any meringue. The whole experience was extremely rushed which was a shame, as soon as mains were finished we were given dessert menus, then almost straight away asked twice within 2 minutes by 2 different people if we were ready to order. Very disappointing.

We went to The Court Yard T.C.Y. on 17/09/23 for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere was good and the restaurant was busy. Our starters were fine the scallops were beautiful but the main courses weren’t good at all. The roast beef looked great medium rare and thinly sliced but was so tough that you couldn’t cut it or chew it; the chicken in Parma ham was dry and stringy; only the shoulder of lamb was worth the money being charged £17.50 for one course and £24.50 for two . We mentioned the issue with the beef to our waitress but got no reaction other than ‘oh’. An expensive lunch with significantly below average roasts maybe we were unlucky, but I’d suggest you try elsewhere.

Walked in to find a dog and nearly left. To keep us there the waiter said they 're going soon and he sat us some tables away. Barely started eating our meal and another dog arrived he seated them one table away. Two seconds later two women arrived with three more dogs again he sat them adjacent to us. We got up and left. Paying our bill we told the waiter we had mentioned our aversion to dogs in restaurants. With over three quarters of it empty we could only deduce he had no concern for us as customers. The owner was in the place but nowhere to be seen at that point so we told him to report back that we would not return. He was unmoved and we assumed our feedback would fall on deaf ears as t...
