Great staff. The vegetarian platter was amazing. Will remember to book a window table next time but did not detract from a fantastic lunch.

Food was a little slow to come out, but delicious when it did arrive. Restaurant was quite chilly and we had to close the door a lot behind guests. Otherwise a lovely place with a beautiful view!

Very nice terrace overlooking the bay. Fish was fresh and tasty, but I did find the samphire saltier than usual. Would come back again !

We had a wonderful lunch at Finbar's with our 10 month old daughter. The food was incredibly tasty and well put together for a very reasonable price. The Berry Mess was one of the best deserts I've had in a long time! We haven't been out to lunch much with our daughter because of the pandemic but the staff were so sweet with her that we could relax. The view was stunning and I can't wait to come back next time we are in the area.

An impromptu visit whilst away in Broadstairs was such a lovely treat. A summer’s evening sitting on the deck and eating delicious crab and fish. Such a memorable evening.
