   This place is fine, but not I suspect as good as whoever manages it thinks it is. The service is enthusiastic but haphazard and there isn't enough attention to detail - like being given a menu without a menu actually in it. The cocktails were poor, my partner had a mojito that tasted soapy, probably because of cheap ingredients. The food - not at all bad, but verging on over-priced. The highlight of the evening was when a vacant neighbouring table set on fire after a paper napkin came into contact with a candle. Not something that happens every day. Bad luck or attention to detail when the table was cleared?

   Excellent roasts as usual, fantastic service from a lovely young team of happy servers - what a difference that makes! Wonderful music from Kevin Richard’s which added to the ambience. Can’t wait to come back.

   I absolutely love The Courtyard, it's my favourite place to eat out in Deal. The food is amazing, the service brilliant and the whole ambience about the place is so relaxed and comfortable.

    Wr are usually very happy with the courtyard which is why we come back. Wr always eat there for valentines too But this time we felt our mains were not worth the price. The chicken I expected to be breast and wasn't also wasn't much there. I had to pick about with it my partner ordered veal which wasn't the taste of veal and could have been beef. Apart from a slight hiccup with the drinks where we ordered but by the end of the meal they hadn't arrived but was still on the bill. I can understand it was a busy night though and these things happen. Otherwise we enjoyed the evening. There also wasnt the choice for dairy free as there is usually so we didnt have a sweet. sadly think the prices for what you get now is not great.
