• Steakhouse • Brighton
Booked 47 times today
An absolutely outstanding experience! We visited to celebrate my sister's graduation and couldn't have asked for a more wonderful evening. The steaks were phenomenal, with my mother declaring her fillet the best she'd eaten in over a decade! Every side and dessert was equally delicious. What truly made the evening special was the staff. They were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, even surprising my sister with a beautiful congratulations dessert. We've already decided to return for my mother's birthday, despite living 90 minutes away. Exceptional food and hospitality. We cannot recommend Kindling highly enough!

Great meal at Fumi, the service, the ambiance and most importantly the food was great. Char Siu pork is always our favourite dish, but all the dishes are tasty and beautifully presented.

Booked 13 times today
We had a lovely evening celebrating my partners birthday. We are local to Rye and often dine or lunch in The Mermaid. The food was delicious and was plentiful in a lovely dining room. However our evening was sum what spoiled by the couple dining behind us. They complained about every dish they ate and how individual ingredients were over powering others. They must have watched MasterChef recently and become food critics. We had the same dishes and they were delicious.

• Italian • Brighton
Booked 14 times today
My reluctant guest who was concerned about the difficulty of negotiating the traffic getting into Brighton was very impressed and came away singing Cecconi’s praises, namely the ambiance, setting and the food. It was fairly expensive but good value. The staff were welcoming and very attentive. It is a shame it was not busier whereas on previous visits it was pleasantly bustling.
