Well, a couple of Saturday's ago, Strings and I frequented the Monts for a couple of ales then hot footed down to Age and Sons in Ramsgate. When you first walk in, you encounter the kitchen right in front of you, all the chefs looking busy and sweaty, if slightly stressed. We were shown to our table upstairs which again was a lovely building, exposed old brick and wooden rafters. The order was taken for our booze, a nice 2005 Chablis, then we were left for about ten mins to peruse the menu- which was limited, but in a good way. I chose the Carpaccio and Strings chose the cuttlefish risotto. But it was 45 mins before we ate, which was ok as we were having a lovely time and enjoying being out drinking together. The starters were delish, I really enjoyed the raw beef, also the risotto was very delicate and light. Another bottle of wine later (this time a Sancerre) the mains arrived, belly of pork for me, Dover Sole for Strings, both were divine, extra sides of veg and creamy mash was also devoured. All in all a lovely restaurant, food was A1, service slow, but don't let that put you off as it is a great place to spend a few hours. Be advised to book as it was busy that night (might explain the slow service). I would recommend this place but not for a quick bite!
