The Waterfront in Shepway

We called in for drinks or a wet afternoon. As we had a dog with us, we could only sit outside but this might have been the better deal because the interior was very busy indeed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and braved the rain to serve us our drinks. Our drinks were freshly made and, as they tasted good, they were very welcome. We did have a look at the menu, on which there was a good choice, and the food we saw being served looked well-presented and smelt delicious. I have no doubt that we will be back to try the food.

I was convinced that the outside barman was scamming the outside customers. I wrote to the management to try to get them to investigate to stop others being cheated. I have not even received a reply so the scam is probably still continuing.

Lovely location, romantic setting, and friendly staff. Nice music and reasonably priced drinks. Would highly recommend

Had a wonderful Friday evening at The Waterfront. We were greeted by a lovely waitress, who showed us to our seats. There is some steps to get in and out of the restaurant, so this is worth noting if you have any issues climbing stairs. Also, the restaurant is 2 tiered, with more steps leading up to the upper section, but we were seated on the lower. I went straight in for a main and the food was absolutely delicious. The reason we booked, was because we saw that there was a Motown evening and my wife loves that genre of music. The guy singing was absolutely fantastic and even serenaded my wife, which was a lovely touch. All in all, a great night for me and the wife. We will definitely be returning soon.

Outside coffee area stopped here on Saturday morning about 11.40 ordered water, Tea 2 bacon baps . Waited ages to get served

Great location right on Hythe beach and perfect spot on a sunny day to dine Al fresco. We dined here towards the end of service and sat on the raised decking section outside. The restaurant was busy with a nice atmosphere although clashing music with jazz being played outside and 90’s tracks inside. The seafood is great here although pricey. Service was ok although a little slow and when we asked the waitress about moving inside when it was a bit chilly later in the evening she never came back to us! We would come back here and the location is superb especially on a warm sunny day, although you don’t have many of those in the UK!

I absolutely love this place. I had some amazing drinks. The weather just topped this day off. I love this place. Amazing in the sun.

We had (grandad grandma and granddaughter) oysters, crayfish and prawn cocktail and calamari to stsrt followed by fish and chips, crab and moules which was tasty, substantial and definitily worth having again. perfect venue for oursunny saturday with a new bolt on snack and cocktail bsr in the garden. after lunch we sat here having cocktsils in the sunshine. heaven. we will be back.

Lovely pre-booked table in the window overlooking the sea. We both chose their traditional fish and chips. It was good but no longer in my view special. Prices overall have gone up alarmingly, but the restaurant was still very busy and a nice girl singer.

Good customer service seems to be a dying trade these days, but not at the Waterfront. Our servers Megan and Jack were so professional. As one of us was gluten-free, everything was double checked and our meals on both days that we visited were superb. We wish we lived nearer as we would visit more often. Great atmosphere and excellent food.
