The Hythe Bay Seafood - Dover

Looked at the online menu before we went and was specifically looking forward to rack of lamb which we were told was the only item not available when we arrived. Had the prawn cocktail to start which was fresh and tasty followed by lemon sole which was perfectly cooked and delicious. For pudding had the lemon tart which was very nice and strong in flavour. The only thing that let the meal down was the fresh veg which was almost raw and a little cold carrots and long stem broccoli). Had 2 bottles of white wine around £25 each very drinkable and a couple of beers Whitstable Bay also very fresh and tasty. A three course meal for 4 of us with 2 bottles of white wine a few beers and and gin and tonic came to around £250. Service was very good the young lady was pleasant attentive and talkative

A most enjoyable evening. Fantastic views and delightful attentive staff. Our food choices were delicious although quite a few items were ‘off’ the menu which was a bit disappointing but didn’t spoil our evening.

We have been using this restaurant for several years now unfortunately our meal was not as good as we have had in the past Staff were lovely but the sloppy vegetables and potatoes let them down as well as the dryed up chicken I had It's such a shame as dover needs this to work but unfortunately we won't be eating at this restaurant again

We booked this meal for wedding anniversary and booked it 3 weeks ago. We left our phone number with them. We arrived to the restaurant only to see it has changed hands !!!!!!! It is now an Italian named Bella Vita . We wanted an evening meal and had already picked out what we were going to have from the menu only to see its now an Italian., We stayed there to try it but come away VERY disappointed !! My started was garlic and chilli prawns, there was 5 mid size prawns in an oil with chilli and garlic. NO bread or anything to go with it. The wife had the antipasta board ! ok there were some cheese and meats but nothing to write home about and once again NO bread . Both had the linguine with prawns and again NO bread. The wife had a Pims and I had a pint of shandy and the bill was just short of £90. Sorry but until they sort themselves out we will not be going back. ps, no one bothered to text or talk to us to inform us they had changed hands so we were very dissapointed with that as well.

Good location on the waterfront with views of the Harbour. Disappointed that the “whole sole” on the menu was not “dover sole” as the restaurant is on Dover. Fish and chips used cod which had a bit of fishy taste. Calamari appetizer was quite a small portion. Service was friendly.
