    An incomparable view across Folkestone Harbour and an interesting, varied menu are the main positives of eating at Rocksalt but the service needs to improve for this restaurant to regain its standing of a few years ago.

    Food excellent. Service average. Chefs let down by waiting staff being non attentive. Call me old fashioned but I’m not a guy and don’t like to be addressed by the waiter with “Hi guy”. When we had finished the meal we had to ask twice for the bill then again to pay. Staff were more intent on clearing tables around us than getting the bill. Loud ambience which meant we had to shout across to each other to be heard. We paid £300 for four of us to eat and felt we deserved better service for that price. NOTE however, the food was really excellent. Locally sourced, tasty, good portion sizes and superbly executed. Top marks to the chefs.
