A lovely dining experience. Timber beamed restaurant inside 17th Century Grade II listed building. Tables well spaced, great to have starched white table linen and good quality cutlery. Friendly, welcoming staff, very good service, pleasant relaxed atmosphere. Plenty to choose from off their menu of home cooked food. Food was of a very good standard, freshly prepared, hot, well presented and tasty. We enjoyed the whole dining expand will definitely return.

We had a delicious lunch at the Restaurant in The Mermaid Inn, Rye. A very extensive menu but we opted for fish and chips - the best I've ever tasted - mostly fish - say that because so often there's a small portion of fish masked by a huge amount of batter.

Another great meal at Côte Brasserie, Bluewater. On this occasion, we both chose from the fixed-price menu and had the Fish Parmentier (fish pie). It arrived piping hot, fresh and full of flavour. For dessert, we tried the Cherry Chocolate Crêpe and the Ice Cream Duo – a great way to finish the meal. 🤩 Great food and another enjoyable visit. We would happily recommend Côte Brasserie, Bluewater, and will definitely be back.

Mon Ami Brasserie was excellent from start to finish. We shared the charcuterie board and it was outstanding — great selection of meats, lovely cheeses, and genuinely incredible olives. Both of us had the rib‑eye steaks with added prawns, cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Finished with a crème brûlée that was absolutely divine. Service was excellent, the ambience was warm and relaxed, and the music was spot‑on at a comfortable volume. It was busy, but there were no delays at all with food arriving. A little on the pricey side, but the quality fully justified it — you really do get what you pay for.
