   Under-staffed and over-priced. Our starters did not arrive, so we moved on to the mains - no apology, just a shrug. A very disappointing and expensive experience. Would suggest this restaurant is avoided.

   Excellent evening out. Very relaxed with a good spread of dishes which were very nice. Service was good. We really like this place for a really nice casual evening out.

   There’s was a lot of things on the table that didn’t taste nice, the lentil starter was literally just plain lentils, beetroot and feta with nothing don’t to it. Everything was under-seasoned and the rouille and greens were almost unpalatable. The croquettes and Bouillabaisse also completely un-seasoned and very bland

   We used to love fort road, the food was wonderful when it first opened and it have dined once before at Colina when it first opened and it was good. However unfortunately we found the food to be very so so. We appreciate that it was the 20.25 menu so the restaurant is limited on what it can spend per head, but it felt very uninspired and not that well cooked or considered. Our feta beetroot and spinach salad just felt like spinach leaves on a plate. The service wasn’t great either. Polishing cutlery whilst we were waiting to order a drink/food. We were really sad it’s gone so downhill from what used to be a wonderful dining experience. Hope it was just because of the menu and the a la carte is better, although sadly I don’t think we’ll be rushing back to try it.

   We booked for Margate Restaurant Week and it was great with a lovely laid back atmosphere. The rice pudding was the highlight dish.

   We went for Margate restaurant week as we've not tried Colina before, and we were pleasantly surprised. The menu was smaller than usual due to restaurant week but everything we ate was well cooked and delicious. The waiter was friendly and answered every question I asked. And it was very good value for money. We shall undoubtedly return

    The food was excellent and, although vey busy, the very pleasant staff worked exceptionally hard to ensure everyone was seated and served within a reasonable time. Take the opportunity to eat here and you won’t be disappointed.
