Valentine's Day started off poorly with our appetizers arriving 10 minutes late. When they did come, they were unceremoniously dropped on the table. By the time our main courses finally arrived, we had lost our appetite due to the long waits between courses. However, the manager was very polite and attentive. View all feedback.

We arrived at the restaurant only to find that they had no record of our reservation, which was made for a birthday celebration. I showed them the booking confirmation, but they explained that they hadn't been using their reservation system properly. They had closed the restaurant early due to low attendance, and there had been no notification about this. Unfortunately, we were turned away, and by that time, it was t... View all feedback.
Great new Brighton spot. perfect cocktails, excellent eating and the best service. the best of it was in contrast to most cocktail bars in brighton they have no reef traffic in there and the people are all very nice.
The food is mediocre and over priced. My prawn cocktail was 4 large, large, fat but tough prawns with grated iceberg in a very vinegary dressing, and the £34 fillet that I ordered medium/rare arrived medium/well done. Service was pleasant but not very competent. We ordered sprouts, but we’re told they’d be replaced with green beans, which never showed up except on our bill, as sprouts.
The restaurant wasn’t open !!! we traveled a long way to then be walking around the streets finding somewhere else to eat, then had to wait an hour to eat in a different restaurant because it was busy. So annoying, i shouldn’t of been able to book this restaurant if it’s not even open
We really enjoyed the restaurant, staff were very friendly and looked after us well.
It is something of a triumph of style over substance. Great location, and all looks very hip and stylish. Others have commented on the inexperienced and somewhat chaotic waiting staff; we had to wait 35 minutes for our initial aperitif drinks to arrive (one cocktail and a diet coke). Later we had the same glass of wine, which he hadn’t ordered, brought to our table on three occasions by two different servers. Not blaming individual servers who were all very charming, but evident lack of competent leadership. The food was good enough, but like the drinks, about 25% over-priced. And the glass of wine we hadn’t ordered and sent back three times, still appeared on our bill. Not a restaurant we will be re-visiting.
