We had lunch there. The food was fine but not spectacular. And the service was good except we often felt ignored because the staff were overstretched. And, if I'm being picky, it was too expensive.

What an amazing place. The venue is superb, the views are lovely, but the thing that stands out for me are the people, they made it truly special.I can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you are close by then go there. The lamb rump was incredible… in fact just the complimentary bread was delicious.It was a treat for my dad’s birthday and they made him feel so special. We had an amazing evening, and I look forward to returning at some point in the future. Please do give it a try.

We went here for a birthday lunch. Restaurant set out really as although it wasn't busy at the time I felt like even on busier days you wouldn't be crammed in. Great views and the food was excellent. Cheese soufflé and steak were fantastically done. As they were aware it was a birthday the staff provided a little birthday treat after the meal unprompted which was very thoughtful too. Thoroughly recommended!

Hello, you called me the other day and woke me up I'm a night worker trying to get some sleep who lives in Rochford Essex, never heard of your establishment ,I'm sure it's lovely. I'd probably go to Southend on Sea for fish and chips it's nearer, kind regards..

We had a Valentine weekend in Hythe and Folkestone with my partner and decided to have romantic lunch at Rocksalt as it has an amazing views and intriguing reputation. The service was absolutely wonderful, the views were fabulous as our table was by the window and the weather was incredible for the middle of February. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with our lunch, as i was expected for a meal we paid over £120 for two. My celeriac risotto was very salty, so i could not taste any other flavours , but salt, tempura prawns were covered with very thick and greasy tempura butter, so i had to dig out prawns from inside and and leave this greasy butter on the side, my favourite padron peppers were murdered in the deep frier and were very soft and floppy! My partner had a fillet steak and they were very generously sprinkled with Rock Salt, which took the moisture and all the flavours away! There was a Rock Salt on the table for us to use if we needed, but they probably needed to prove the name of the restaurant!? My partner also had a straw potato cake which was nice and crisp, but very salty, which spoiled the flavour of the dish again! Wine was nice though ?

Fabulous fish, expertly cooked, served in outstanding location; literally on the harbour. Fish soup had astonishing depth of flavour. Very good service -high end but our waitress was sensitive to what we actually wanted which was to be left alone to enjoy the food and the view. Will definitely return - would like to try the mid week lunch set menu.Walkability: Easy walking distance from Folkestone central train station - much nicer to walk down through gardens then along the wooden walkway on the shore than through town.

Amazing food and service. We went here for the special dinner on Valentine's day. Especially loved the complimentary bread & butter, Rockefeller oysters, and their desserts.Food & drinks: The Rockefeller (cooked) oysters are delicious.

Dreadful restaurant run by dreadful people. How anyone can rate this restaurant as anything higher than 1 star is beyond me and highly suspicious.

Steak was amazing, views were great across the harbour, need to go back in the summer to be able to sit outside.Food cooked beautifully with lovely attentive staff.
