    Very disappointing experience, as menu appeared very promising. Nowhere to hang our coats, had to put them on the back of our chairs, premises are more like a cafe than a restaurant, food uninspiring and expensive, got fed up being asked all the time, was the food OK ? Yes it was OK, but not at those prices.

    We enjoyed the food but it was an hour late. We were not offered anything to compensate for this delay. It was also our joint birthday celebration and the staff did not offer any mini cake, shot or complimentary drinks at all.
    Kumquat Restaurant - Tunbridge WellsResponded on October 20, 2024
    Dear Rachael Thank you for your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed the food! We apologize for the delay during your joint birthday celebration. While we were busy, we understand the wait was frustrating and will work to improve this. We did wish you a happy birthday and noted you preferred to keep the occasion low-key. To make it special, our head chef created a vegan dessert just for you, which is not on our menu. We take pride in going the extra mile for our guests, and we're sorry if this wasn’t enough to make your celebration feel as festive as it should have been. While we don’t usually offer complimentary items for birthdays, we appreciate your feedback and will consider it moving forward. We hope to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, Alex & Virginia Kumquat Restaurant Team

    Terrific and inventive food and really excellent service. It was very busy and a bit loud when we arrived, however after a couple of tables finished and left it was fine.

    First time we have eaten here. Interior decoration good. We only had one main course each which was very tasty and nicely presented. I had the duck breast and my wife the sea bass. The service was attentive. In my view the prices are at the upper end so have a question mark on value for money.

    We had a really great evening here. The restaurant was very busy and I had to ask where our food was as we had waited almost an hour. The food was really good and will definitely be returning to this restaurant. The owners were really hospitable and looked after us.
