Have visited twice, most recently around midday on a Sunday in late July. The food here is excellent, with the obvious emphasis on seafood, oysters, etc. On my most recent visit I had the fish and chips. It was delicious and the serving was ample, so I’d say it warranted the £20 price. Most/all entrees are above that price. They also do kids portions, which is appreciated. The place itself is quite nice, strongly evocative of the seaside. The staff here are friendly and efficient. I’d happily recommend this place and I look forward to coming back again at some point.

Lots of lovely seafood right on the sands. Very atmospheric property. Best to book, can be very busy. Good selection of wines. Oysters nice and tasty, mussels a bit oily, calamari ok, brown shrimps a bit tasteless. Nightmare car parking, best to park streets away and stroll to the beach. Slightly amateurish but friendly service (just small things). Overall a great place to chill. I will be back…

Delicious food, beautiful interior with candlelit dinners, sea views and lovely service. I highly recommend the pan-fried scallops starter! To die for! Very reliable spot, highly recommend.

I am an oyster and seafood lover. I wanted to come to this place for long. I booked 5 days in advance over the phone and I wasn’t disappointed. The restaurant is by the sea/beach so you have great views, although you can’t dine outside. Service was great, very attentive and correct. Food was outstanding, very fresh. We had a dozen of oysters and some amazing scallops as starters and as a main I had a Dover sole and my friend had the crab. Great wine selection. We spent around £185 for two people. Worth it for a special occasion.

Located in a very nice town, this restaurant is what you need for a nice and relaxing meal. First time visitors and non oyster experts can have a great explanation of the differences between the oyster types and local history of this food. The oyster are delicious and you can have a lot of different cooked types (I didn’t know they existed)! I would suggest to reserve a table as it’s really popular and fully booked despite the whether 😉.

One of the best meals I have had in ages. As I don’t drink alcohol but like to have a AF beer with dinner I knew I was in for a treat when I saw no fewer than 5 options, all from artisan makers, none of which I had even heard of let alone tried before. Every dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned, there wasn’t a single dish on the menu I wouldn’t have happily chosen, I found choosing a real problem 😂. One of the metrics I use to differentiate is condiments and side dishes (an afterthought 99% of the time), no issues there ! Tenderstem broccoli with toasted almond and chilli, heritage tomato salad with Basil and Balsamic, home made mayo….. 10/10 Good location watching the sun go down over the sea, attentive (but not annoying) service. I can’t think of a single thing to improve on. Well done !!!! We WILL be back 👍

What a find. A family-run spot serving delicious food on the sea-front. We loved our meal & will definitely be back when we're next in town. Be sure to try the baked three-cheese crab gratin (pictured), truly delicious.

Amazing fish restaurants on the sea in Whitstable. The quality of the food is over the standards and the staff is super helpful and kind. We went for lunch on a Sunday with our 14 months old son and everybody’s been super sweet with him without complaining even if sometimes he’s been a bit fussy. Great surprise the bill, absolutely not overpriced. We will definitely visit it again with all the family

Good service in this family-style restaurant by the beach. The vibe was chill and causal, great for couples or families. There was a great selection of seasonal seafood including some local ones like the grilled dover sole. But price was a bit dear.

An atmospheric place near with wonderful views and tastiest oysters but as for the rest if the food - not that good as the price suggests. The worst fish and chips I’ve tried in a restaurant of such scale (really dry and not appealing, though the pea mash was good), average tasting scallops and sole fish. The seabass and prawns were good, and the bill was above average. But if you are there for some oysters and atmosphere- definitely the place to try.

Rediscovered my love for Bloody Mary cocktails here. Staff were brilliant, attentive and on point. We had a seat by the window looking out to sea. Food was amazing and well worth the 3hr journey.

Outstanding! What can I say. The food was amazing as we're the staff. You really cant go wrong if your looking for great for and a lovely wine selection. We will 100% be back! Thankyou.

Really nice atmosphere, with a spot on the water. I’m sure it will be even more lovely in good weather. Standard price for oysters, drinks a bit on the pricier side. We liked having choices in the oysters and different flavour toppings in the grilled oysters. Would go again, good place to go for occasions or date night.

Definitely the best restaurant in Whitstable - lovely, fresh seafood food without feeling stuffy. It was far too hot for fish and chips, but I went for it anyway and was not disappointed! The scallops we had as a starter were some of the best of the best we've ever had! This wasn't our first time, and it definitely won't be the last!!

Lovely waterside location in an historic building for a celebration family lunch. The restaurant is airy and even when full (which it was on the day of our visit) it did not feel cramped. Definitely book as this is a very popular restaurant and unlike many in Whitstable - open on a Monday. Staff were very well informed regarding the menu and provided friendly and attentive service. Good menu with a good variety of shellfish and fish options (menu is seasonal and changes regularly) Loved trying the Natural Oysters, so different to the Rock Oysters, scallops (both chargrilled and pan fried) were beautifully cooked the baked three cheese crab gratin with toast was delicious as were the plump mussels cooked in local cider. Most of us had fish for the main course. My only comment would be the baked haddock fillet with sour cream, swiss cheese & chives was a touch overcooked and sadly the new potatoes were so hard they were inedible. The whole sea bream was well cooked and as per the menu loaded with garlic, and this that had the Lemon Sole really enjoyed it. We seemed to over order on the chips, you can probably made do with one between two. We also tried a local sparkling wine - Gusbourne Brut Reserve from Appledore, Kent, delicious and zesty. A lovely way to spend a day with family on our first trip to Whistable.

Absolutely Fantastic! Came here on a busy bank holiday weekend and this is absolutely incredible food and setting for those who like fish. The rhubarb pudding was absolutely amazing, best dessert we have ever eaten ❤️😽😺 We have eaten in a lot of places in the area and this is by far the best. Highly recommended 👍 ⭐️ ❤️

Food was amazing! However for the price point I'd rather go to the Corner House or Fordwich Arms. Service was very slow as well. We had a late booking, but what that meant for us was that by the time we were ready to order deserts they were already packing up and closing the restaurant. People were leaving and the staff took forever to finally ask us if we wanted deserts. After we ordered it, despite being only one of about 4 tables left, it still took an additional 20 minutes for the deserts to come out and they forgot to bring the bottle of wine we asked for (but didn't forget to exclude it from the bill which we had to point out a while later) Lastly, it was impossible to politely get the waitresses attention. Our chips came unsalted and were politely trying to get someone's attention to get some salt put on the table. Unfortunately the waiting staff never ever glanced at our table unless they were quite literally coming over already. TLDR: Food was very high quality, staff service was very poor and I wouldn't recommend if yo in want a pleasant dining experience provided by staff that seem to care
