Food and service were fantastic, the only downside was the slowness by which the gin and bloody Mary arrived. Everything else was spot on.

We booked for an early evening dinner before a concert at the Brighton Centre. Rather than go for main meals we chose small plates to share. The food was amazing, so flavoursome and beautifully presented. On top of this, the service was fabulous, such friendly and welcoming staff. Sadly it wasn't quite warm enough to sit outside but we had a table with a sea view as requested. Thoroughly recommended and can't wait to return.
