The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in Dartford South East

Poor service made this a very disappointing first experience of Cadiz restaurant. Despite there being only four covers at any time while we were there, the service was unexplainably slow. The service staff/manager lacked any attentiveness and friendliness and an adjacent table also complained to us of the same thing having waited an age to get their drinks. Before even having time to look at the menu, we were offered bread and olives to which we said yes but found out afterwards come in at a price of £9!!! The olives arrived, but we didn’t see the bread for 15-20 minutes despite reminding the staff. We you even suggested cancelling it to replace it with something else from the menu, but was told it was already in the oven! However, a couple arrived after us short after they sat down and long before us. Throughout the evening we had to approach the waiter/manager to chase our orders while he sat at his laptop at the bar at the bar. From a food perspective, the food was generally okay and as others have mentioned the pork cheeks are very good and I enjoyed the patatas con huevos y jamon. The jamon croquetas, which are usually a favourite tapas of mine, however were disappointingly stodgy and dry/pasty. If the service had been better, we may have considered returning as we’re always looking for opportunities to support local restaurants. But based on this experience it’s unlikely I would recommend returning to Cadiz which is a real shame really as it doesn’t take much to be more attentive to your customers.

I visited the Bluewater store of Ori Caffe on Saturday 2nd March and I was blown away with the service and standard of the food in there. I had a special sandwich made up for me from a young lady who looked like the Manager. She was warm, friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend Ori Caffe to anybody :)

I have been here twice in a matter of weeks! One of my new favourites! Fab food, great atmosphere. Lots of music played on a Saturday night eith entertainment too.

Great food. Really recommend the Souvlaki and the bougatsa for dessert. Oli our waiter was really nice and helpful.

Extremely disappointing, ordered the tortilla and meatballs (along with two other dishes) both come up cold and with some of the meatballs till raw looking sent them back and only had what was hot. I did complain but it only seemed to go over the waiters head, I find it very sad that they didn’t care. Wouldn’t go there again.

From the staff to the quality n taste of the food its great .

Here for lunch to catch up with friends. We wanted a leisurely lunch where we wouldn’t be rushed and good chat, alongside some good food and that’s exactly what we got! Our host, Olu, was brilliant, so welcoming and friendly. The waiting staff were attentive. Food was good and tasty Would come again
