I spotted this restaurant very near where we were staying for a few days. Sadly won’t be able to return as we live in the SW. we loved it, great staff, great food and ambience. The homemade ice cream is fabulous, so smooth and creamy. Please ditch the artificial flowers on the railings of the steps, and inside. I do find that off putting.

We reserved our table last minute and had a very warm welcome from a young tall waiter. We had a nice table a bit away from the crowds, which was perfect for the three of us to chat. The service was excellent. I am always impressed when we are immediately told what the soup of the day is and we were given the options of the specials before we looked at the menu. This is so helpful when making a decision. I had the tuna tartare, which was fresh and delicious. I followed this with the liver which was super thin and melted in the mouth. I liked the onions on the top too. All the food is freshly made and is beautifully presented. We were all impressed. We all loved our deserts and good coffee too.

We arrived early at 3.30 for a 4pm reservation and although busy we were shown to a table on the lower terrace and ordered drinks. We enjoyed our starter but were disappointed with our mains. The men both ordered spaghetti carbonara which is usually their favourite. The spaghetti however was dry with hardly any creamy sauce and the pancetta/bacon was hard and chewy. As a result they both left most of their meal. The ladies had the crab ravioli which was tasty although the ravioli was luke warm. We didn’t complain as weren’t in the mood for making a fuss and didn’t want to spoil an otherwise pleasant afternoon. This was our first ever visit to Montalbano restaurant and I’m not sure we will return after this visit.

There's a reason this place has #1 in Tenterden. For once, I'd not done and pre visit research, and we found Montalbano after having been recommended The Vine, across the road. The menu at The Vine was somewhat uninspiring, but the exterior of Montalbano caught our eye. Its Sunday night, so was quiet and we easily got a table for two, outside on a lovely evening. Opted for Antipasto to start, great portion, fabulous selection - good value. Then, rigatoni arribiata and mushroom risotto. And a shared Tiramisu for dessert. All outstanding. Wine list included some Sicilian gems - briliant. Wait staff were awesome, organised a Taxi for us, on a Sunday (we knew it was going to be a stretch!) Highly recommend. Its hard to find authentic Italian in the Uk but Montalbano hit the spot!

Cannot fault the food and the service for our lunch today to celebrate a birthday. Came after recommendations and we will definitely be returning soon. The only downside was the seriously OTT noise coming from a large party of diners who arrived by coach.

Despite living locally we hadn’t been out in Tenterden for a few months and decided to choose a restaurant based on other Trust Pilot reviews (and a good choice of vegetarian choices). When I booked online I expected it to be good as there was very little availability (always a good sign) and had to settle on a table at 5:30pm. We were greeted warmly and the menu was extensive. The food we ordered was excellent. What stood out for us was the service. We were delightfully looked after by Charlie and her very able (and really lovely) trainee Omer. Good food is vital but amazing staff elevates a restaurant to 5 stars. Charlie and Omer definitely deserve recognition from the owners/management. We will certainly return. And book in advance! Thank you.

A birthday treat. What better place than here to celebrate. Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful food and wine, and wonderful service. The choices available are all enticing and the specials do truly offer something special. We opted for a special starter and main menu for the other, then main menu for the main courses, on this occasion. We’ve had special mains here before and they were delicious. Whoever the capocuoco or capocuoca is, they are very talented. What makes this the absolute gem is that it’s truly exceptional value for money. It’s always busy which is no surprise considering how good it is, but you still get great service, don’t feel cramped or rushed in anyway way and the quality is always faultless. A great experience which we will continue to repeat. We’ll be looking out for event nights this year as well. Grazie Montalbano.

One word - excellent. Greeted by the Owner, seated straightaway and offered water. Drinks followed and I asked for Sparkling Water with Lemon & Ice - No pressure to buy branded. Quick served. Had Fritto Misto to start with Calves Liver as main. Best liver I've had all year. Partner had Pasta which she said was superb. I finished with Formaggi, OH had Tiramisu. Both were generous portions. Easy parking in Bridewell Lane CP just behind restaurant.

Having seen the rave reviews I was super excited to secure a last minute table online. Easy enough to find on the high street with on street parking pretty much outside. Buzzy atmosphere and attentive (thankfully not overly familiar) service. Food was good - not outstanding - maybe I'd hyped myself up to expect utterly amazing? I can't even remember exactly what we ordered now. I definitely had the Casarecce pasta all'arrabbiata, as veggie main choices were a little limited. My favourite thing was in fact the two glasses of delicious red wine that made me a little giggly!

We booked a table for four on Friday night and were allocated a two-hour slot from 18:00 to 20:00. The place was buzzing when we arrived and remained packed throughout, which is presumably why they want to turn the tables. We went for mains and puds, with two cod dishes, one steak and liver, all of which arrived promptly and were well made and cooked. The desserts were good, as was the cheeseboard but it was a bit disappointing that no-one could give me the names of the cheeses. With some coffees to finish, dinner was over within the two-hour slot and we had enjoyed a very nice meal.

One of the very best Sunday lunches I have experienced. Served piping hot and with a smile from our server. Beef was generous and left pink in the middle, great Yorkshires crisp on the out side but soft and tasty in the middle. Fantastic choice of vegetables roasted parsnips, red cabbage, cauliflower in white sauce and a side bowl of cabbage, broccoli and green beans. Roast potatoes were perfect for us crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Thick, tasty gravy and lots of it. Just a great and memorable lunch. Good selection of wine by the glass and beers. Staff are all smiles, efficient and charming. Instead of the beef my wife tried the vegetarian option and declared great alternative!

We had a very good meal at The George at Molash; we were welcomed on arrival and shown to our table, the service was very efficient and the waitresses were professional but also friendly. They looked after us superbly. We chose our meals and these took a little time to come out but we were not worried about this as we were chatting and food was cooked freshly to order. Other tables were informed about a wait for some foods as they were cooked freshly to order. This didn’t affect us too much as we ate quite early - table was booked for 6.30pm. The pub was very clean and tidy. The portions were good - for both dinner and we had a dessert. We finished the evening with herbal teas and were shown a selection to choose from. Overall we had a very nice evening at The George, and had good food, service and atmosphere.

After a long period of absence we went for drinks here on Christmas Eve. Not a single pump was working and a small bottle of Peroni and an equally small (and disgusting) bottle of Prosecco was charged at £10! The manager was overheard telling another punter that they were “running down the stock” which translates to “we’re going to be closing soon”. Such a shame - this used to be an amazing pub years ago. Mis-management has led to the state it is now in. Bring back the former owners.

Nice food and excellent service from Emily. What a pleasant lunch we both had. Everything was very clean and we will definitely visit again. Thank you Emily.
