Absolutely shocking. Desserts look like they are from Brake Bros. My children can present food better.

Awful, not the same after reopening. Website misleading, not fine dinning. Walked in met with stale smell and man with shirt hanging out. Restaurant empty, sat in cold room. Asked drinks menu, there wasn't one, 3 choices of red wine! We left, couldn't trust the food.

I didn’t realise this place had been closed for refurbishment when I booked. Not been for many years and looks fresher than it did although lost some of its traditional look. My food was great and menu had plenty to choose from. Owners always friendly and would recommend you give it a try.

My parents visited for my Dads 85 birthday in the evening. When it came to paying for their meal they were told they couldn't pay by card as their payment systems were not working, hadn't been all day! They suggested the garage over the road had an ATM, so my father not wanting to leave without paying WALKED over to the garage in the dark to withdraw over £100. Appalling behaviour to allow an elderly man to cross a busy road in the dark ALONE to get cash out to pay for the meal. Not once did staff offer to take my parents details and allow them to pay over the phone once the restaurants systems were up and working. Not once did staff alert my PARENTS to the situation on arrival to allow them to decide whether to stay or go or get cash out in daylight! I spoke to the manager after about 20 attempts on the phone and he offered a bottke of wine on their next visit. I politley declined and he then offered a £75 gift voucher which has never materialised. They have been closed for re furb for months and after calling again and again and again I have been promised a call back which has never materialised. My only option now is to visit in person and demand a refund. How dare they treat an elderly couple in this way. How dare they think they can get away with it. I am not letting this rest and I will be contacting the local council for advice. Shame on you and shame on your staff who alliwed this to happen. Your answer phone service is now not working you are an absolute shambles of a business and I advise you NOT to visit them. You will next be seeing me in person and I will not leave your premises without a full refund.

Myself and my friends come to The Vineyard at least once a month for a girlie catch up. We love it here the food is lovely and the staff are attentive we have such a great time when we come! I can’t believe the extent people go to make bad accusations about a competitor and I can honestly say Seyfi and his family are brilliant restaurant owners and always make us feel welcome. Lobsters are always the best here and Seyfi will personally go out of his way to go and get you a fresh lobster that day for your visit that evening! What other restaurant would do that!

This year was my 4th time of coming here while at Brands Hatch. The food quality has deteriorated every year and the price has gone up. Dont get me wrong, its a good place to eat but the food is overpriced. The most shocking thing of all is the fact that for 4 years (running) when paying I was informed that the PDQ machine wasnt working. They showed me one that was powered off to make their point, but 4 times? No! What would have happened if I didnt have the cash ? I wont come again, sorry.

The meal was the beginning of our Silver Wedding celebrations, we had been to The Vineyard several times in the past and always had great service and fabulous food. Arrived for our meal and was spoken to by a grumpy female member of staff and went straight to our table and ordered drinks which came back wrong. When looking online it advises you to be patient as all the food is cooked from fresh, what a joke. My wife ordered fillet stake very well done, it was incinerated on the outside and red in the middle, this was sent back and replaced with a piece of sirloin, my wife said it was not acceptable and was told that they had no more fillet. While all this was going on an argument started between two members of staff who were shouting at each other a using the F word. The atmosphere was terrible and we did not want to stay any longer, paid the bill and left. On the way out one of the staff, the manager I think asked if we had enjoyed our meal., I couldn’t be bothered to answer him. Never ever will we return. Our starters and main meals were served up very quickly indeed and we were in the premises for no more than twenty minutes in total, everything on our plates looked and tasted like it had been microwaved too long.

I visited The Vineyard on Saturday 18th.May with 6 others. We were greeted warmly and the staff were attentive all evening. All the food we ordered was very good. The steaks in particular were perfect, I ordered The Henry VIII (fillet steak topped with Stilton cheese in a red wine sauce.) There isn’t a great selection of beers unfortunately and the waiters weren’t dressed like waiters but just looked like other guests. But apart from that the food was very good and we had a great night.

My wife and i ordered fillet steaks and our friend ordered Sunday Lunch, Chicken a la Reine.Our meals arrived including vegetables, our friends vegetables did not arrive.After about 5minutes we asked if his cauliflower cheese was going to arrive. The waitress went to the kitchen and discovered theat they had had an accident with the cauliflower cheese and would be coming shortly.After about another 10 minutes it arrived.The mash potato that should have come with the meal never arrived. The waitress did not have a clue.I was asked by the waiter if i woiuld like another Gin and Tonic I replied Yes please.It never arrived!To top it all our steaks were dry and tough. This was a very embarrassing lunch as we have taken our friend to the Vineyard several times. But we shall not be going there again.

We visit here several times a year to meet up with family and friends as it is central to where everybody lives. The food is always delicious with very good sized portions. I love that they offer skate wing as it is not always easy to find on a menu unless you visit a primarily fish and seafood restaurant. Staff are always attentive and friendly. They have a very good wine list and the prices are fair. We are all very happy returning to our 'local'.

We were able to pre order of the Set Menu, we were not required to pay a deposit and they accomodated us mid afternoon when they are not normally open! On arrival, they staff were very welcoming ensuring that we were happy with how things were set up and had some lovely music playing for us.

We love this charming restaurant and have eaten here quite a few times now. We always get a warm welcome and the service is excellent. I have a few favourite dishes – scallops wrapped in bacon with garlic butter is to die for and as I’m a red meat fan I tend to go for a steak option (usually Forestiere - delicious!). I don’t normally have a pudding but I love that they bring round a sweet trolley so you can see what’s on offer. My husband can never resist as he has a very sweet tooth. I can certainly recommend The Vineyard Restaurant for a night out with your other half or friends/family :-)

Visited our favourite local restaurant to celebrate both my husbands birthday and also that of my son. A warm welcome and a pleasant table in the main restaurant. It was a busy Saturday evening but I cannot fault the attention we were given. My son, who lives in London, was very impressed by the extensive menu. The men were given an musical rendition of Happy Birthday and presented with a piece of cake with a candle! These were wrapped for us to take home as we could not eat another thing as we had had such a wonderful meal again and an amazing bottle of Mersault . Nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff and I would like to thank them for a memorable evening.

What a disappointment. I was with the Duffy party and concur with the sentiments expressed entirely. Dated and shabby, overpriced and food not up to the standard of the prices. Escargot served swimming in a bed of garlic butter with mushrooms, breaded mushrooms burnt on the outside suspect drinks are watered down and vegetables of their choice served with the main course. Dover sole £28.95 which is a West End of London price. Dining area looks nothing like it does on their website. Drinks offered on the house were charged for and despite me booking through Opentable they registered my reservation as a''no show'.

Seven adults. Food ok but a long way off Michelin Star. Reminded us of old fashioned Italian restaurant. Two courses for all except two and the bill was a little short of £600. Everyone walked out fine. Once home I double checked the bill. Out of the seven one did not have any drink at all, one had only two drinks because he was driving. The drinks bill was £249!!!!! To add insult to injury they claimed that one person had 11 gin and tonics, another 9 vodka and lemonades. I have never seen anyone drink 11 gin and tonics and walk in a straight line. Will never go in there again,

Me and my friend visited this restaurant on Sunday 11th November at 7:00, we placed our orders and waited for them to arrive, whilst we waited we had a drink. I ordered a Salmon cocktail and my friend ordered a goats cheese parcel. When they arrived we were gobsmacked, my Salmon cocktail was a few salad leaves, a tomato, cold strips of cooked tinned salmon and a dollop of mayonnaise, and my friends goats cheese parcel was actually Stilton and was so strong, she was unable to eat it. We made the waiter aware of this but he said it was goats cheese, I then decided to pay for the starters and wanted to leave, then the owner approached us, I explained that the parcel was Stilton and not goats cheese, I also explained that I was a qualified chef and that I had worked at The Dorchester and The Savoy, which he replied “you have been trained wrongly”.

We were investigating where to go for Christmas Day lunch on the internet and The Vineyard came up. We have passed by many times but did not realise it was a restaurant! Booked for a weekday lunch to give it a try. We were amazed how extensive the menu was and were really spoilt for choice. We had a lovely waiter, Youseff, who was exceptionally well trained, he was attentive without being over the top and served all the dishes with great expertise. As a result we have booked for our lunch at Christmas. We were in fact lucky to get in as they are nearly fully booked and I am not surprised. The only down side is that you can only pay with cash but they do advise at the time of booking.

We were a party of 4 and 3 starters turned up and we had to ask where the forth was ! my soup was luke warm . The main courses were nice but when it came to desserts none of us wanted anything which is unusual . This was because it was an old fashioned uncovered sweet trolley and basic deserts no ice cream or sorbet alternatives were offered to us and as there were flies around it put us off . It really needs updating as it’s old and shabby , it’s far from fine dining and the staff should smarten up.

Just been out for a meal with my girlfriend. We sat down for a drink at the bar and were offered the menus. We had a look through roughly to see if anything caught our eyes. We then got asked to order our meals before sitting down at the table, I asked is the table ready to sit down so we can look through properly, he said yes it is ready but after we’ve ordered. We sat down and then the starters turn up before we even had chance to speak. They came out and my girlfriends scallops wrapped in bacon was drowned in garlic butter to the point it was putting her off. I had the crab cocktail but was very disappointed to find crab shell in it. For mains we had fillet of lamb and fillet of steak Henry 8th which had blue cheese on top and asked to be cooked medium rare. The lamb was very small in size considering the price of it and the steak tasted like an old cheese toasty, it also came out rare. Half way through the meal they turned the music up and we had to almost shout to hear each other, absolutely shocking. The whole atmosphere and the staff put me off staying for pudding. For the price of the food and the atmosphere it wasn’t worth it, McDonald’s would’ve been a better dinner as you know what your getting - cheap food instead of expensive mediocre food.

My first trip here and I chose to come here for a special birthday and, looking at the website, I had high expectations. Very good choice of food which was well cooked and tasty and we all enjoyed. However, I feel that it is overpriced, particularly as you have to order potatoes, vegetables, etc as extras. I felt that there is a mixed message in the restaurant - the staff are not smartly dressed and the atmosphere is quite casual, but the restaurant is pitching itself as a "fine dining restaurant" and the website is advertising "your dining experience will almost certainly exceed your expectations." The toilets are quite shabby and in need of an overhaul (for example my seat was hanging off). The dessert trolley was being wheeled around the whole time we were there on a warm evening and there were cream desserts on it with no covers. We were seated next to an open window which I had to shut to keep out the smell of cigarettes from the table directly outside. Fine dining prices but not fine dining experience.

If I had any criticism is we had to ask for more drinks, we weren’t offered the sweet trolley and we had to ask for coffees.

On arrival we were greeted very warmly and had almost no wait before being shown to our table. Coats were taken and hung for us without us having to ask which is really nice. The restaurant was very busy which perhaps explained the 40 minute wait from ordering to receiving our starters - not an issue had they all been well cooked/presented. Nothing stood out as particularly good but the garlic mushrooms were very overcooked. When our plates were collected, this was mentioned and a shrug of the shoulders was the only acknowledgement. There was a further wait of 30 minutes for our main courses. To be honest we were all having a lovely time so it didn't affect our enjoyment of the evening but if there is going to be a lengthy wait I think we should have been given some sort of explanation. Again the main courses were pretty average. No one came and asked if everything was ok - one person had a very tough steak so we had to ask for a steak knife. This was no problem - why not give steak knives before we started eating? The sweet trolley arrived and everything we chose was....ok! Nothing in the whole evening stood out as special except the fun we had catching up with each other....the cost with plenty of wine was £60 a head approximately. Although the staff were very nice and the seating comfortable, there is nothing that would encourage any of us to return.

Visited in a party of 10 with friends coming from various parts of the South East for a Christmas gathering. Rather shabby from the outside the interior is welcoming although a little 'tired'. On arrival there was live music from a duo but unfortunately our table was in a separate area out of earshot. Service was very slow to start with drinks orders but once we had all arrived we were quickly seated and the food came soon after. Service then went downhill. From the set seasonal menu only the sea bass was consistant . 2 rare steaks were tough, vegetables were cold excepting the saute potatoes (no other option). Seafood vol au vents had a meagre portion of mussels and some rubbery squid. When one of our party complained about the lack of the advertised mixed fish she was promptly delivered more mussels and tough squid. With the exception of the fruit salads all the desserts were brought in including the Christmas pudding: my frangipane tart was well past it's best and rock hard. It took three attempts to ask for jugs of water then another for some ice. No glasses were provided when the water eventually arrived.

Had high expectations and was very disappointed. When we arrived we struggled to park as the car park was full, we were then sat at a table in the back room (not in the restaurant) with no other people and not one of the other tables was set (this seemed to be some sort of function room). We asked to be moved given there was no atmosphere in that room and we were sat on our own. We were moved eventually after complaining but not the best start. The food was average and overpriced. We had to send back the steak as it was still bloody when we asked for it to be well done. Ordered drinks that never came. Service was poor. The place also had a nasty smell which was not pleasant at all. Overall I would say this restaurant is average at best and certainly not worth the money. I personally would not go back or recommend it.

I have had a few lobsters in my time! But this one blew the others out of the water! The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive the chef came out and joined us what a great guy! If u haven’t been here before I would get down here ! The best night and it was only regular Tuesday. We are definitely coming back weekly at least ! The best restaurant in Kent! X

Words fail me for the experience we have had this evening.... this restaurant is the best place in Kent to eat. The Lobster was sublime, In fact the best I’ve ever had. You must try this restaurant if you haven’t already...miss out at your peril!

Tried the Sunday lunch and though on the top side re price all courses very good. Nice little sardine fillets salad starter, good roast pork and veg and excellent dessert trolley. Irritating 10 % service charge which I hate but as I couldn't fault meal & service will roll with it -so £25 for 3 course Sunday din. Would do again.

Went with a group of about 20 for a birthday meal. The food was nice, portion sizes good but unfortunately many of the meals came out luke warm.We had trouble finding the restaurant as the sat nav took us to the correct postcode, which was 10 miles from the restaurant? The staff were friendly and accommodating. I felt that it was a little overpriced but an enjoyable evening.

Traditional Restaurant at its best-wonderful food- attentive staff and family welcoming. Never once had a bad meal here- good range of wines Chateaubriand is superb for those who prefer steaks but excellent range of alternatives My only negative is that the car park offers an interesting experience for the faint-hearted on especially busy occasions ;) Have eaten here 2/3 times most months for years Go and Enjoy

We recently celebrated a family members 21st birthday at this gorgeous restaurant. I had never been there before but I had heard quite a few people rave about it so I was quite excited to see what the fuss was about, it did not disappoint!! The service was beyond awesome and they made our cousin feel extremely special! We had a slight issue with our food in that two meals came a bit later than others but they couldn’t apologise more, and it didn’t matter as the food was absolutely stunning and we had so much fun! The food and drink here was superb, we will definitely be back as we want to try more of the options on the menu!!

Visited to celebrate a friend's Birthday. Chose from the set menu, everything was beautifully presented, well cooked and very tasty. Good portion sizes, perfect food temperatures and well seasoned. The man who served us was really charming, attentive (but not overly so), very funny and apparently psychic because he guessed what I was going to order! Lovely place, great food topped off with an absolute gem of a waiter. Thank you, we'll be back!

Right. Here we go! First time trying this place. It is not awful but it is not good either if you know what I mean. Bang average kebab shop. No seasoning on the chips. Sauce was minimal and was charged for it. Bread was soft and in grilled. You eat the picture. I think a small adjustment may put this place on the list.
