    We had steaks and a burger and they were great, well cooked and presented. We also had a bottle of Pinot which was a little pricey but quite nice. They had a function going upstairs which got a little loud but was ok. Staff were professional and friendly - tended to leave you in peace.

    The trivia night was too busy and too noisy. The room was jam packed and over capacity, so a possible fire hazard.

    What a fantastic surprise dining at Hotel Brighton after a movie at Palace 2 doors down. We happened to be there on $25 steak night - perfectly cooked, delicious 250gm porterhouse with a lightly dressed green salad & chips ( and mushroom sauce ) . Compliments to the chef - it was fabulous and we will be back. I rarely order steak out as it has often been overpriced and overcooked! You won’t be disappointed! Staff were super helpful to with my 90year old mother-in-law. Thankyou!

    Place is great. Easy to park in the side street. Nice food. Not sure if front door was forgotten to be opened, or locked still? But we couldn’t get in. Which was a small embarrassment easily overlooked. We used the back entrance.
