Feedback
The arrival experience was disappointing, and the ambiance left much to be desired. The kitchen is located downstairs while the restaurant is upstairs, which creates a disconnect. There is a noticeable lack of attention to detail. In Spanish, we would say "un querer y no poder." I foresee a bleak future for this establishment.
The food was excellent, but the service left a lot to be desired. Our meals were served without anyone checking in to see if everything was to our liking, and the restaurant wasn't busy, so there's no excuse for feeling overlooked. We asked for more bread and ended up having to get the butter ourselves. The wine was just placed on the table without any presentation. I would love to recommend this place because the food was really good, but service is a crucial part of the dining experience, and that was definitely lacking here.
My husband and I traveled to Ramsgate from London for the Bank Holiday weekend, eagerly anticipating dinner at Age Sons, which we had booked a few weeks earlier. Since we wanted to explore more of Ramsgate, we changed our reservation from 8 PM to 9 PM. However, we were running a bit late and called to inform them. Upon our arrival, we were informed that the kitchen closes at 9 PM and that they would not serve us. I can't understand why no one thought to mention this to us at any point! The staff member we spoke to was far from apologetic and seemed indifferent. Instead of offering us a reservation for lunch the next day, he simply had a dismissive attitude. If Age Sons aims to be an upscale restaurant, they certainly need to learn a thing or two about customer service!
I have eaten here several times and the food is always interesting and good I wanted to have the set menu as this is good value But it was not offeredSo rather than embarrass my guest We ate from the a la carte Menu this made it an expensive outing And there is no reasonable House wine £16.95for a basic rose is not a bargain for the customer.However the sea bass was perfectly cooked and the braised lettuce unusual and tasty as an accompanimentMy companions pork loin with prunes was delish but bit boring just a few potatoes with it We shared a chocolate nemesis and both loved it Would go again if set menu was availableService was attentive but would have liked more seasonal veg included in menu nice to sit by the window.Good to see it busy
Upon arrival, I had a negative feeling, as the atmosphere was uninviting. The kitchen is located below the dining area, which adds to the overall disappointment. There is a noticeable lack of attention to detail. In Spanish, we might say it feels 'un transversal y no poder'—there's an overwhelming sense of something being off here. Unfortunately, I foresee a bleak future for this establishment.
