Some superb and unusual Food. Friendly and informal staff. Outside is a great place to "people watch" I thought it was very good value, considering the quality of the food

This was a lastmin booking to make the most of the sunshine we had at the weekend. Had a lovely table outside. The service was great, seafood platter was amazing - accompanied by refreshing white wine! Unfortunately the setting was ruined a bit by this being the hottest and busiest weekend in Brighton so it was very crowded with groups walking past - also enjoying the beach…and we were a couple of metres away from big overflowing bins. This can’t be helped and it was our choice to sit outside - so don’t let this out you off but maybe request to be closer the restaurant if you sit outside on a very sunny busy weekend! Thanks for looking after us - the manager kindly had a chat with us too!

Joe and the staff were superb! Me and my partner had an amazing time with delicious food. He was so welcoming for the start and showed fantastic hospitality throughout. We don’t get to see such service these days! Highly recommend.
