Sentado Lounge in Swale

Food lovely and friendly staff. Wonderful atmosphere and very kind friendly.

The Team here are amazing! Always friendly polite and very attentive. Every time go there I’m made to feel welcome, it’s always a fantastic start to my day. The food is top quality and very consistent. I want to say a special thank you to Danielle, Becky, Holly and the rest of the team who are always working flat out to ensure that the customer’s expectations and met and exceeded. Great assets to the business.

Unexpectedly beautiful in the evening, candle light dinner with a friend. The candles give for a warm cosy environment which I love. The food came out promptly and was ok for vegan options, I chose to have the 3 tapas style options... Hummus with pitter bread ( not enough bread to dip in my opinion and not toasted, it would of made a bit of a difference if it had been toasted) the beans and kidney beans were tasty and the bang bang coliflour was my favorite with two different sauces. The customer service was good, prompt being a very busy Sat evening. All very young staff but doing their best and producing a very good service considering how busy it was. What I wasn't happy with was the fact that there were not enough staff and so putting the pressure on the 3/4 staff serving for the whole restaurant. I requested that my food was not to be touched as I needed to check my car and half the table got tidied up, along side my chips which I was using to dip my food. It took a while to get service at that point to replace them but over all a really nice experience.

Amazing food and staff are amazing as always. We always bring our dog milo and he gets absolutely spoilt every time we come in. Today's treat, ... his first ever pupacciono 😲🐶🐾🐾 thank you so much to all the staff

This place is lovely. We had great service from the moment we walked in. I loved that we were able to take our (well behaved ) dogs in with us. It was a lovely touch that by the door, they had a box of treats, toys, and blankets for them. I went with friends, 1 of which is gluten intolerant and both vegetarian. They had a whole menu that catered for these requirements. We ordered a veggie breakfast and a veggie burger, and I had the tapas. It was thoroughly enjoyed. We also had desserts. Passionfruit semifreddo and the choc & salted caramel sundae. Both were absolutely delicious! The pink lemonade is also wonderful. The staff were really happy and friendly. My dog managed to knock a big bowl of water all over the floor, and they were really kind and cool about it. All-round a fantastic experience 👏🏻

Great food and drink and great service, can be a little busy and a slight wait for a table but outside seating available so you can have a drink while you wait. A little busy because it's so fantastic and therefore popular but always worth the waiting time. Quiz night is good fun

Excellent, dog friendly, venue.

Very nice place to eat, clean and varied menu

The food was very tasty. The atmosphere was good the price the not bad. The service was OK.

Our first time visiting the restaurant after coming across it by chance. We were very impressed with the menu, a great variety of options and reasonably priced too. The food was excellent, and the service was great, a special mention to Morgan who looked after us. We were also impressed that there was a selection of children’s toys and games, we had our 2 young children with us and this kept them entertained so we could enjoy our food. I would highly recommend this place, we will definitely be returning!

The food was delicious and the service was really good. Speaking as a parent, the stand-out feature was a well equipped toy area which is quite unusual. There's enough to keep them entertained so you actually have fair chance to browse the menu and even have a conversation with another adult, without the impatient offspring fighting for attention.

First visit to the Sittingbourne restaurant & we weren't disappointed! Seated immediately, ordered & paid at our table. Drinks arrived shortly after & our food followed a few minutes later. Everything was so delicious we are definitely going to be coming back soon!

Been here many times now and the service has usually been good. There is a great menu selection, but we've had a few issues in our last couple of visits. On one occasion, the QR codes weren't working and we had to order at the bar - this got messed up, as we ordered 2 veggie breakfasts, but only 1 arrived, and we then had to wait for the second, but the first wasn't kept warm either, so we ate separately. There wasn't even really an apology either. On another occasion, an item wasn't available with our meal, but we weren't told until the food arrived and we queried where it was - we explained that if we'd known, we'd have ordered something different. The manager dealt with us on this occasion and was apologetic, and gave us cake to take away as an apology. Today, we ordered 2 Miami brunches, but one with fried eggs instead of poached. Only 1 dish arrived and we were told they'd done the fried eggs as poached so it was delayed (so again, we are separately), but both dishes were also missing the sweetcorn fritters. Normally we'd have mentioned this when they came to check on how the meal is, but no-one came, even though the restaurant was actually very quiet! We went to the bar at the end of the meal, and got an apology, and the fritters were then sent out - they're the best bit, so we were glad they were available, just a shame to not eat them with the meal.

Staff don’t know wines on menu I had to find it on the till screen for the girl. Food came out warm. Not good with chicken. This is the second time it has happened. Glasses really scratched and smeary. Girls really friendly but need training in hospitality. Your comments would be appreciated.

Always good food here. Service is quick, and staff are very attentive.

The Lounge Breakfast was delicious, I highly recommend it.

Food was pretty good, but they lost our order so we had a very long wait for it. It was also very noisy with lots of young children running around and screaming/crying so not a great experience overall.

My 40th birthday celebrations. Place was amazing, relatively quiet for a Saturday which was a bonus for us

The young lad tyler was very helpful and the young lady from the kitchen was very friendly I think her name was Lucy The only downfall that I did see was a young woman I don't know her name but she brushed her hair in the restaurant unheard of in my experience

We stopped for coffee and breakfast and this place is awesome! The food was great and the service from Emma was exceptional! We're already planning our next visit as there are too many vegetarian options to choose from!

Having rushed past many times took the plunge today and stopped for breakfast. Emma was wonderful and helped us this morning. Good selection of veg options in each section of the menu with many dishes available in meat or veg options.

Fantastic service, great staff!

Great selection that should satisfy all requirements. Only negative was the amount of raw garlic on the Kiev burger. It was overpowering. If the garlic had bèn incorporated in the chicken and Ben cooked it would have been much better.

Wow! Sentado Lounge in Sittingbourne is absolutely incredible. I've been here so many times now and haven't regretted a single visit. Incredible dishes, including tapas like none I've tasted before, and delicious burgers which seem bigger than humanly possible - varying from crispy fried chicken to generous slices of beef, topped with the best brioche buns I've ever tried and whatever other toppings you may fancy. They have such variety on the menu, ranging from fast food dishes to healthier, lighter options such as soups and salads; all of them equally wonderful. The Sittingbourne branch of Sentado Lounge is truly unmissable. Easily accessible, with hygienic, spacious toilets, their very own bar, and lovely atmospheric seating, I don't think there's any other way of putting it: this restaurant is SPECTACULAR. It's the best of its kind, by far. One of the few pleasant things in Sittingbourne, that's for sure.

Lovely welcoming place, clean and comfortable…food is good and reasonable prices. Very dog friendly- shout out to Emma, our waitress teas wonderful!

We got the tapas. We really enjoyed the salt and pepper squid and the chilli beef. The food was brought out pretty quickly.

Popped in last night and they had a quiz on which was a pleasant surprise. Fantastic service from Lucy and Brad behind the bar

Emma the waitress was so friendly and helpful. It’s always a joy to eat in a restaurant where the waiting staff are professional and happy. She’s an asset to your team. Good food and warm atmosphere.

We had a lovely brunch here. As soon as we walked in we received a warm welcome from Emma, our dogs received treats, blankets, water and even toys! The food was great and service exceptional.

We popped in to Sentado for a breakfast with our dog. There's a good choice on the menu and they do menus for vegans and allergies. The staff are really friendly and helpful and made sure that our dog had water and treats. That time of day, Sentado has a lovely relaxed feel to it and the decor adds to it, with it's repurposed gym floor and big lightshades. The food was delicious and i can recommend the avocado smash with a poached egg on top. I also welcomed the decaff tea with alternative milk. Been here many times and would go back again.

Such a great place to eat and drink! The cocktails are fun and tasty, the food is so good and on some nights there is even a quiz. Staff are really friendly here too which is a great change. Only shame part is there is no real garden to eat in but otherwise highly recommend.

Lovely cafe and food. Emma was very helpful with my food order! Lovely service. Will be coming back!

Very impressed, as I have coelics I felt confident in eating the food and it was really nice. Emma was very knowledgeable helpful and polite. Will definitely be returning

We had a lovely time at Santando! The children are always looked after and given colouring etc while they wait for their food. We were served by Emma today and she was brilliant, really attentive and great with the children, service with a smile and made our visit really enjoyable. Thanks Emma!

Great addition to the town. Only went in for coffee and cake so won't comment on the food. The espresso was good and the chocolate raspberry torte was just right. Service was very good, friendly and quick. Decor is excellent and the whole place has a comfortable feeling. I will be going back to try out some of the menu.

Excellent time. No pressure and nice staff

Quirky place, good food and staff are lovely

Food is on the expensive side but an enjoyable ambiance

Visited yesterday for Brunch. The food was simply sensational, performing a near dance across my tongue and teasing my senses. Great atmosphere with a timely service, both myself and my partner will be visiting again. 😀

Great atmosphere, very welcoming and food is delicious

Little spot of good taste and glamour in the heart of Sittingbourne. Delicious flatbread and friendly staff. A fine place to eat lunch as a solo.

Went in and ordered fish finger sandwich bread stale, fingers obviously microwaved and dry, on the whole terrible, my husband had a philli sandwich again microwaved, dry just not good infact we left most of it, Real shame as we use this place a lot but the food is really hit and miss.😔

Myself and my husband (and our 2 dogs) were visiting family and staying over at the Travel lodge, next door to the sentado lounge. We saw that this restaurant were dog friendly, but I was concerned about eating out at all, as my husband suffers with Alzheimer’s disease. I was very nervous upon entering for the first time but I was instantly put at ease by a lovely smiling face and we were welcomed and sat made to feel so special as the lady who greeted us, clearly a dog lover, made a fuss of our beloved dogs bought them both over treats and a bowl of water. We felt instantly at home as she spent time chatting to us both and was so friendly I felt able to ask her anything and nothing was too much trouble. She Included my husband in her conversation and made a point of saying bye to us my husband said bye to her which was a huge thing for him. We were so happy we went back the following day for lunch before we left to go home. The lady was there and she came straight over to say hello and I spent a bit of time with her chatting about life and my husbands disease and she was so understanding and lovely. I wished I had got her name so I could thank her personally. I know she was a very new member of staff with tied back brunette hair poss late 30’s early 40’s?? Slim build and full of personality. We don’t usually write a review and I apologise for the length of my comments, however, I hope my description (although a bit vague) helps you identify her as I’d really like to say “thank you” she made a stressful situation so stress free. What an asset to your company she is !! Kind regards Anne and Geoff Russell (and our dogs Tommy and Timmy)

Us MMA boys had our usual monthly breakfast meet-up this morning, and the whole experience was excellent as usual. Waitress Emma went above and beyond with her service again - super friendly, efficient, and professional - and kindly took some pics for us too. Food was superb.

This was the first time we visited and we probably will visit again but the reason I only gave it a three for atmosphere was because we went on a Sunday morning and it was packed and so noisy and we didn't eat but might do next time when it's a little quieter

I stopped off for lunch before getting on my train. The staff were amazing, so welcoming and attentive. I was impressed that I could get a small amount of tasty food as I can't eat large amounts and usually have to order a big meal and leave! I cleared my plate, a rare thing! A very nice experience much aided by the lovely staff.

Wow! Great food, and service that was just fantastic! The management should be proud. Every member of staff was amazing! Thanks for making my daughters bday even more special.

Great place friendly service food perfect catering for gluten free one of the best we’ve come across, five star

My son and daughter in law took us here this morning for an early birthday breakfast. ( They have visited here a few times when going to the cinema) what a nice place, the food was freshly cooked, and very tasty indeed. The staff were pleasant and helpful. It is also pet friendly , dogs need to be on a lead, there were a few in there but no trouble what so ever. While we were eating our breakfast a lady came over to us and started asking us for something, as soon as the lady who served us saw this happening she came straight over and told her to go away and leave us alone, stating that she had already been in earlier trying to scam customers. Will we be visiting here again ?? Yes we will

I can't comment on food (other than it smelled delicious) as I only had a coffee which was super nice! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

It is a lovely place to meet. Being right opposite Sittingbourne Train Station, it is easy to find. I had a salad, which was lovey. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming.

Decor brilliant, Service brilliant, very polite staff brilliant ,food lovely. Highly recommend. Well worth more visits.

Very nice easy ordering staff friendly meal very nice recommended

Unfortunately we had a really bad experience at Santado - Sittingbourne, on Saturday 9th March - out for Mothers Day. Firstly, it wasn't busy so there is not reason for the level of service we got. I don't expect a red carpet, but I do expect a level of service if I am in your establishment paying for that service. The young boy that greeted us at the door (if you can call it greeting) was very rude. I was told over the phone that I couldn't book a table for 8 over the weekend. This boy huffed and puffed because we hadn't booked. He then slammed 2 tables together for us, and walked passed us without saying a word. I ask, is that where we are sitting then. He turned his head over his shoulder as he walked away and said, yeah, like a stroppy teenager. The glasses on every single drink we had (for 8 people) were so dirty with water stains that you could hardly see through them. I wish I'd taken a picture now as I'm really not joking. After asking to change our glasses, we were brought more glasses in just as bad condition. A few of us didn't finish our drinks. No table service so constantly had to keep getting up from the table. But at the counter I was called lovely, babe and my sweet by the young girls working there that are old young enough to be my daughters. The food was ok but nothing special. Didn't like the fact that if you want to run up a tab, they take your card from you and it is left in a little folder on a shelf for all to see. We had to ask, twice, for our table to be cleared. We left after our main meals and got the kids ice cream in the near MacDonald's as the service and the cleanliness of their restaurant was better. And I hate MacDonald's. Will NOT be going back... Ever, and will never, ever recommend. Level of approach to service is horrendous.

I highly recommend, food is great, in a nice location and lovely staff particularly Emma!

Always love my experience here! I go most Sundays and it's always a great time. Every member of staff is amazing but Emma always stands out. Her attention to customers needs is amazing. Highly recommend :)

Excellent food and service. Had the breakfast this time but definitely coming back for Tapas, and the burgers look epic!

My partner and I have found Sentado Lounge to be a great breakfast spot. Emma always makes every visit a delight, and Carmelo is always sure to make us feel welcome!

Emma served us very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Would recommend 100%

Emma was the best. Great service. Food is great. Service is fast and modern. Don't have to mess around with cash. Very good nice

Lovely breakfast every time. Service from Emma was excellent! I particularly liked the sausage, egg and bacon. Twas very nice.

A group of us had dinner here and enjoyed our evening. The service was friendly although a little haphazzard but the food was better than expected.

Great service, really friendly staff. We only popped I. For coffee while waiting for a train, the staff were friendly, engaged with our children and made us feel very welcome, drinks were great.

Great bar, friendly staff, good atmosphere.

Always love food and drinks here, staff are always friendly you order at the bar or through a qr code. Atmosphere is nice and toilets always clean. The food although could do with fuller options on the vegan menu as they tend to not contain much food for the price.

Always love the food here, the staff are welcoming and they cater really well for people with allergies.

Great food, perfect value and most of all the staff are very welcoming with the service being fast as well, highly recommend!

Is it true that your bar man is leaving because of the manager

We love this place...the staff are always friendly & really helpful. We are always made to feel so welcome. The food is delicious, never had a disappointment here. Really worth every penny & we love the way its decorated. Such an asset to Sittingbourne!

Excellent venue on every count (including the background music)

We got a takeaway lunch from here £9.55 for a panini and £3.30 for sweet potato fries. You only need to have a look at the photos to see it was a disappointing meal .. 10 fries (roughly) and can’t see the meat in the panini. The reason for the bad review is they couldn’t even reply when I said it was disappointing (messaged more than once and jt was a nice message to make them aware .. their photo advertised looks nothing like what was recieved ) ! I understand someone new could have started or they were rushed of their feet. But if someone has sent them a message to make them aware of a disappointing meal, that person deserves a reply ! We spent £45 between 3 of us on Takeaway lunches .. never again.

Had a wonderful Sunday brunch, with my partner, my daughter and her 14 week old pup! The staff were super friendly, to both humans and our canine! We are vegetarian and there is an amazing choice. I am looking forward to our next visit.

Our 1st visit to this restaurant to meet up with old work colleagues. Very nice the town centre has certainly had a rejuvenation in recent years. Nice atmosphere. Shame you have to order everything at the bar or via app, sorry bit old fashioned but nice to have table service. Nice enough staff and great vegan menu. Food was really nice but portions a little on the small side. Very nice for trainee bar staff to approach our table with their 'tester' cocktail for free to try out. It was lovely but not one we'd had before. May I suggest you approach a table and ask for their favourite cocktail then there's a better chance of better comparison and feedback. Reasonable prices. Will go again. Thanks

We've become regulars in Sentado and love it for a number of reasons . Food is always amazing, atmosphere is great and the staff are always friendly and so welcoming. Special shout out to Emma and Carmelo who always make us feel welcome and help us with toys for our little boy. There's loads of space for prams and is really accessible! Thank you so much as always.

I was looking forward to this all week but ended up being really dissapointed. We ordered four tapas dishes to start, all of which came luke warm. I guess these dishes are prepared in advance and left under a heat lamp but the food was tepid - maybe the bulb in the lamp blew.... The pale ale I ordered was flat and quite watery. Finally The Goan Lamb Curry was obviously microwaved as it was served with a steaming hot slice of lime!!! ... Plus the lamb and curry sauce were seperated in the dish!!! So my guess is the lamb comes in one packet, the curry sauce in the other, they were both thrown in the dish and then microwaved with the rice and lime slice. This is not how curry is cooked.... We originally wanted to stay for desert as it was a special occasion, but by this point I was so underwhelmed with everything we decided to leave and grab a cake from the local shop. Really.... really poor. The service was good though, and the decor is nice....

This has to be the worst meal I've ever had my daughter had one mouthful and left it all had a chicken meal dry tasteless sorry no tasted of bad oil Should have had a macdonalds

Just had drinks. Espresso Martini was lovely

I’ve been here twice now and had to review- so accommodating to dietary requirements and the food itself was amazing. Drinks were great too!

Emma is always welcoming and gives us great service. Nothing is too much trouble and she always has a smile on her face. Sentado is a family and dog friendly lounge and it's always a pleasure to eat there.

Visited with family for drinks and light bites, service was average and the waitress had a attitude problem when questioned about our drinks being half full (our cocktails) to which we all had one and they are 8 or £9 each! They said that’s how they are measured and made, the tiny glass had a sip on it! Charging for it but don’t want to give what we paid for? We love this place generally but after the bad experience it’s put us all off. So gutted! We loved the quiz nights

Lovely sociable space for small or larger groups. Varied menu. Love the churros with dips!

Very welcomed by staff food was excellent service was excellent most of the staff happy and smiling the man behind the bar with the rings and friendly smile was excellent been in before when other staff behind bar not that good the young man needs to always be on the bar thank you all hope you all have a happy new year xx

Absolutely love this place - can't recommend it highly enough. Food is lush and the staff are lovely. Do yourself a favour and get yourself in there and enjoy!

It's ok, not had a bad meal at Santardo to be fair, but there is not much variety and choice on the menu. If you want a quick bite with a few beers/wines it's great, if you want a romantic meal to impress it's probably not the place. When we went they had run out of a few options due to a busy Christmas period, which is understandable but limited the menu even more.

Nice food and decent coffee. Not to bad price.

Really enjoyed the food and the place.

First time visit, and first impressions were that it was far better than expected,. Samplled the Ros'e wine and it was superb 👌. Will definitely re-visit and try other wines on offer. The Lounge is now Dog friendly and I think that's a nice touch to the place. Had a group reservation booked for a birthday meal. Food was adequate, nothing special, but the set meal price advertised in advance was not honoured and the difference amounted to an extra £70 having to be paid 👎

Great place, with great food. Service was exceptional, especially as we were a party of 16 unannounced, not prebooked. Thank you.

Meeting up with family to have a Birthday lunch.

Visited on a Saturday evening with my husband and daughter. Nice and easy ordering through the phone and drinks came promptly despite being busy. The venue is nicely decorated and comfortably laid out. Husband and I both ordered different burgers and were very impressed- super tasty and the chips were delicious! The cocktail was very nice and husband enjoyed his after dinner milkshake. The highlight of the evening was definitely the staff- who were super attentive and brilliant with my daughter, with one waitress taking her to see their Christmas elf and to pick out a board game to play (yes- they have board games to choose from!). All of the staff we encountered were fabulous! Overall, lovely food, venue and brilliant employees that Sentando should be proud of.

Maggie and Sam were amazing the entire night! So charismatic and fun! Full of laughs and made the night even better! So amazing staff!! Greats drinks and fast service!

Always excellent with massive gluten free and vegan menus

Great stop for a celebration before going to the cinema 😊 enjoyed the food, the cocktails and the atmosphere. Thanks for making us welcome, Sam!

Had a warm welcome... Good food and fantastic service from our waitress... She went above and beyond for us... Even though they looked rather busy...think her name was Amy but not to sure... 10/10 for service and food... Cauliflower curry is to die for!

A nice restaurant, vast menu, something for everyone. Ordering is done via a QR code on your phone, bit odd but manageable. Decent value👌🏻

I can't coment on the food all I say is fantastic coffee

The Lounge was great, very business night but the staff was still attentive to our needs and quick to serve us. Food was excellent, came out quick as did the drinks. All in all, great night out would recommend.

Came with the hubby for our Anniversary, food was devine, service fabulous, can't fault the place.

Nice cafe/bar. We had a lovely breakfast here for my mother in law's birthday. Friendly staff lovely food in a nicely decorated and comfortable environment.

First time visitor to the lounge this evening. Loved the venue and atmosphere. Food was great. Quiz night was an unexpected bonus. Will definitely return.
