RE: Impressions of Tontine Street, a first visit to a new bar

I visited this 'hidden jewel'. Why is it so quiet? The food was excellent, service great and the staff welcoming and friendly. Maybe Folkestone or Tontine St is not ready for this yet. Use it or lose it i say. What an excellent venue for the World...

Picture of the new theatre / arts centre on Tontine Street:
