My husband and I had a delicious dinner at The Jetty! The weather was perfect for dining outdoors, blue sky and a little breeze! We started with steak tartare and oysters, both we fantastic! My husband had the duck salad, which he throughly enjoyed. I had a special, sea bass and it was wonderful! We were so glad we had found The Jetty after a beautiful day in Broadstairs!

Bar Ingo is an experience you don’t want to miss. Small plates that make a big splash! Totally delicious. And the liquid options are spot on. The service is so welcoming, refreshing, and adds seamlessly to the overall vibe of the place. Bar Ingo is a win for Broadstairs - and a win for Kent!
