    This was the second time we've dined at the Tartar Frigate and on both occasions the experience was outstanding. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The service was exceptionally good. The courses were extremely satisfying, served without any delay or need for waiting. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

    Perfect service. Efficient and friendly with humour. Good choice menu and wine list in the restaurant and decent ale in the bar downstairs. A lovely experience all round.

    Although living in Broadstairs for many years I have never eaten upstairs nor on a Sunday. Everything from the welcoming staff to the little extras with food was amazing. We honestly felt like part of the family. I will be coming back regularly from now on. It a set menu (four courses) and the choices were plentiful. The food was amazing and well presented. The weather was awful outside and it felt like the ideal setting for a slow Sunday lunch. It was never rushed, staff were observant and helpful but not overbearing. I really loved it. Top marks :)
