Seaview Restaurant at Sir Stanley Gray

You're walking down Pegwell Road towards the coast and suddenly you've got a proper restaurant with sightlines to the water. It's the kind of place that locals actually book for occasions rather than just tourists stumbling in. The Seaview at Sir Stanley Gray does what it says on the tin—you're eating while looking out at something worth looking at. The reviews speak for themselves (4.5 stars from people who aren't easily impressed), and there's a reason regulars keep coming back. It's got that sweet spot of being special enough for a date night but relaxed enough that you won't feel awkward bringing family.
