Wonderful food, the flavours compliment each other so well. You actually get decent sized portions too, which for this level of restaurant is unusual. They cater for your personal requirements too if you have any allergies. The service is personal and very friendly. Can be rather noisy if there is a large group in though. Looking forward to returning again very soon.

Fabulous restaurant in the heart of Westgate on Sea. Regularly changing menu based on what is in season and available locally. We enjoyed our starters but my favourites were our mains with Doddington Lamb and a Bavette steak. The millionaire shortbread was also delicious as a pudding. Attentive, friendly and welcoming staff. A lovely treat for my birthday. Highly recommended.

This is an amazing find on our doorstep! It was my partners birthday today and I bought him and his dad for lunch. The service was very personal, and the staff catered for each of our needs beautifully! The food was absolutely outstanding, presented in a wonderful way. The ambience was second to none! Quiet, not rushed, and not all packed into a busy restaurant! Totally and utterly 1 million per cent all round, do not hesitate, just book! You will not be disappointed!

Really impressed with everything from Quince, a hidden gem in Westgate. Small but perfectly formed menu. As a vegetarian I often feel short changed but this was not the case at Quince that offered imaginative and tasty veggie options. We will be back soon.
