    Such a beautiful spot. Hip and happening outside DJ garden bar up top for pre-drinks, gorgeous food in the panoramic vista of the downstairs restaurant and dessert on the balcony overlooking the harbour. What could possibly not to be loved about this restaurant? It’s worth noting that we have been dining here over the last 12 years or so and the quality never diminishes. In fact, the evening vibe must surely make it one of THE places to hang out at when Folkestone way. This kind of longevity doesn’t come easy, but all staff, from our lovely waitresses to the bouncers watching access to the garden bar, were just so lovely. The food remains incredible. An incredible place.

    A super visit - an oasis of calm, good food, great wine, attentive service, glorious view, a real showcase for Folkstone on an other wise hot June day for a birthday celebration. Location, menu, wine list and the people are a winning combination.

    We had a fabulous experience here , I went with a friend for her birthday, we sat inside as was a little breezy outside but was given the option , food was delicious and they are very attentive, even poured my wine for me , very polite staff , it was very pricey but was for a birthday treat , overall was a lovely day and the views over the harbour are amazing, seeing the fishing boats coming in was lovely , only reason I scored 4/5 stars was because my friend was left ages without her drink and I went and asked in the end and we got it , also the service charge was far to high but I paid it regardless as didn’t want to be rude

    Good food, poor service, especially for a restaurant that purports to be of quality. Apart from anything else (and there are several other things), it proved ridiculously difficult to attract the attention of the waiting staff. (And the restaurant was not busy.)

    ROCKSALT is my favourite restaurant in Folkestone! On a marvellous sunny day, we were seated outside and enjoyed the views of the harbour. We ordered Oysters, Scallops and Salmon - All were perfect! Celebrating a friend's birthday, it was a lovely touch to decorate their dessert plate. Our wonderful waiter was knowledgeable, especially on English sparkling wines, and a really nice guy. The only thing I missed was the shipping forecast... I highly recommend Rocksalt!!

    Always a lovely experience dining at Rocksalt while looking out over the most amazing sea views. Staff are engaging and helpful, yet extremely busy so sometimes it's a bit of a wait. Food is great so well worth it. Everyone I have brought to Rocksalt have really been impressed.
