    Definitely will revisit when next in Brighton. Everything about the restaurant was perfect. Great food, lovely staff, over-looking the beach, and very reasonably priced. A brilliant little find using open table.

    We were the only customers for lunch as we sat and marvelled at the huge breakers on the beach. This is my second visit and I,'ll be back. They took a lot of trouble to make it great for my friends birthday.

    Appreciate we sat outside so inside may have been better. Thus suggest don’t sit outside as right by people walking by and a nice view of the toilets and waft of weed passing by. Food was good but boy do you pay for it, certainly on the expensive side without having the ambience in my opinion of what was expected

    Most friendly, centrally located just below the Promenade. Yummy fresh seafood, very nice atmosphere. Service just a little slow, but very friendly and professional. Really enjoyed the dinner with a view.

    We reserved a table stating it was our wedding anniversary. When we arrived we were seated upstairs. It was quiet until a party of 7 people arrived. And were seated very close to us. Starters were good lobster roll and scallops. Mains were not as well presented. Mussels were gritty as was the salad that came with the lobster thermidor. We appeared to be forgotten about by our server. Very pricey for what it was. Will not be returning.
