Been bringing my family here since the day it opened. More generally come in for a few drinks while walking/shopping. Never had a bad experience in Frankies. Staff are brilliant, especially Becky who has to put up with me on a weekly basis. Brilliant.

This is a review of the Abode Brasserie. The restaurant is a small plate eatery, we've been to a few small plate places and really enjoyed them, the menu sounded interesting and we wanted something a bit special as we were only in Canterbury for one night. We were met at the entrance by a man who waved us in the general direction of some tables and said we could choose where to sit, bit odd but fine. We sat down and after a few minutes he brought a food menu and explained how it works, that dishes would come when they're ready etc and recommended 2 or 3 dishes each. After about 10 minutes we were brought a drinks menu, then almost immediately we were asked if we were ready to make our drink order. After another 5 minutes (of us looking at drinks) we finally ordered. The first dish that came out (after another 15 minutes of waiting) was the smoked haddock soufflé. It was the size of a cupcake, so a mouthful each. It was a little chewy and bland. £10 for that. Then, a good 10 minutes later the pearl barley ragu with goats cheese came out in a cute saute pan about the size of a saucer. It was also a little chewy, tasty, but with the absence of any other dish the texture was hard work. We noticed the table next to us tucking in to what looked like a marvellous feast while we waited another 15 minutes for another plate. At this point we were considering leaving. The last straw was the lamb ragu which came in a miniature saucepan. There was about 1-2 tbsp of shredded lamb in gravy with peas and a small pile of mini hash browns - the exact same frozen ones we buy for our kids. £13.50 for that dish. I have never complained in a restaurant but I couldn't carry on. I asked if we could pay for what we'd had and go because it had been so bad. The waiter was excellent, very gracious and insisted we try the other dishes for free, which he then retrieved from the pass immediately. Why we had been waiting again i have no idea. The only dish that stood out was the gnocchi with fennel sausage, but at £12.50 for 4 bits of gnocchi and half a mashed sausage is madness. If the food had been outstanding it may have been worth the time and cost but it was disappointing at every turn. The 2 stars are for the waiter who did his best to turn it round!

We were warmly greeted and shown to a lovely table. Unfortunately that was the only real service that was offered. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived with 2-3 other tables. It quickly filled up. It took c. 20 minutes before someone asked of we wanted water. And then another 30 minutes for main courses to arrive. The food was pleasant, but query the portion sizes which were modest for price. Dessert took another 25 minutes to arrive and unfortunately one of our guests had to leave beforehand. The restaurant acknowledged this, and adjusted the bill accordingly. All in all a pleasant enough experience, and despite delays, we would return to give them another opportunity to redeem themselves.

We had an excellent lunch here! My dad gave his full English breakfast a 9.5/10, the American breakfast was great too, the maple syrup was flavourful and the pancakes were light and fluffy The cookie master waffle was a fun treat but definitely needed 4 people minimum to finish off

i was there on the 23rd of January for an italian night, it was absolutely spot on, food was cooked as if i was eating it somewhere in Italy, owners and staff so polite and welcoming, prices very reasonable and loads of food going around, i definitely recommend this place if you fancy something different and freshly cooked, there is nothing like it in 30 mile radius 👍🥰

Tasty however quite bland served cold and they charged me double when my transaction went through the second charge is from 05:00 am in the morning which took ages to dispute and get my money back how on earth does an establishment charge you twice for a transaction that went through chip and pin did not expect this from harrods especially will not be visiting again
