The portions were much smaller than when we'd gone before, we were brought the wrong wine and my dining companion's chips were cold and underdone.<br /><br />Yes, we did complain and haven't been back.<br /><br />I think the place has become a victim of its own publicity since it got written up in a couple of national papers.<br /><br />I had recommended the place to friends after our first visit and they came back very disappointed and so I had to apologise for their wasted evening out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-36138549575956909652010-08-06T09:56:39.911+01:002010-08-06T09:56:39.911+01:00Excuse the spelling mistake, well slip of the keys...Excuse the spelling mistake, well slip of the keys in my last post, no edit facilty and forgot preview highly remiss before you all point it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-9953635791528964262010-08-06T09:54:56.174+01:002010-08-06T09:54:56.174+01:00Interesting to see that last critic, we went for l...Interesting to see that last critic, we went for luch on Friday lunchtime to Eddie Gilbert expecting great food and service after all the splash. What we got was an enormous plate of fish and chips each that could have served two but the base of the fish was a soggy mess, the chips undercooked and the samphire overloaded with butter but cold. Appalling service too, all around us there were complaints. I did mail the man himself to ask what the promlems were and he said "too busy and a few staff hiccups" but no actual apology which was not really good manners.<br /><br />The best restaurant in Thanet is a tiny one in cliftonville that never advertises, is constantly packed, has amazing food and atmosphere and absolutely no pretensions. Excellent food at realistic prices and BYO booze but Im sure there will be people who would knock that as at the end of the day its all personal taste.<br /><br />I would just like to know where to go locally for a really good chinese meal they all seem to be pretty appalling.<br /><br />In fact is there anywhere to eat in Thanet, indeed East Kent that has excellent food, good service AND an attractive location? I am really stuck with that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-11504551719454366382010-08-06T07:58:34.045+01:002010-08-06T07:58:34.045+01:00Only went to Age and Sons once for lunch but the p...Only went to Age and Sons once for lunch but the poorly-trained waitress couldn't find a menu, the chef kept yelling from the kitchen that 'this is off and that as well' (off the menu, I assume although we never did see one).<br /><br /> Asked for the drinks menu and was handed the coffee list. Girl went off to try to get a menu and never did come back.<br /><br />Needless to say, we haven't returned nor have we gone back to Harvey's after our one visit.<br /><br />Have had two luches at Eddie Gilbert's, first great, second disappointing but have been told it had gone through a not-so-good patch but is ok again.<br /><br />Always willing to give a new venue a chance but there are too many people who think they can dish up second-rate food and no-one will complain. Maybe people don't but they, like me, probably won't go back. That's why Portobello has gone, people didn't go back after their first visit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20691138.post-87895697037983025172010-08-05T18:05:33.218+01:002010-08-05T18:05:33.218+01:00And me again from 1.52,

It was a job like any other job and I neither claim or seek any special recognition for it. It was my choice and what I wanted to do.<br /><br />Appreciate it if we can leave it at that. You have no idea what my role was or what I may or may not have been involved in so leave out the rather silly blanket stacker comments.
