We felt warmly welcomed, and appreciated the owner’s conversational skills. All staff great, special mention for Jenny. Full of mischievous exchanges, and a talented desserts chef too! Food was of the highest standard, and the whole evening very enjoyable. See you soon! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Its a lovely restaurant right in the heart of Seaford. We had preordered our meal. I chose prawn cocktail followed by pork loin slices in a lovely sauce. The pork came with French fries veggies. Very tasty. Looking forward to eating here again. The meal was in a special offer. So that was even better.

Save your money and go elsewhere as the food was a disgrace, boxes of wine stacked up in the restaurant itself. You can only feel sorry for the waiting staff having to serve up such poor food. I’m surprised this place is still trading as I cannot see how anyone would return,

Second visit to Diellas and once again not disappointed. Great atmosphere, great menu and great service. read more Second visit to Diellas and once again not disappointed. Great atmosphere, great menu and great service.

Had made no reservation the place was buzzing at 6.45pm, but we were welcomed accommodated warmly by the host. Great service, lovely food just what we were looking for both loved the whitebait wine by the glass is always a benefit for us. reasonable price too, so value for money will be back!!

They are able to make cream pasta sauces using soy cream, and I have enjoyed their mushroom stroganoff made with soy cream and soy protein. The staff is knowledgeable about vegan options, and many menu items are either vegan or can be easily adapted.

They mentioned that they can prepare something if I call ahead, but I prefer to walk in without prior notice. I also prefer to see the vegan items and prices on the menu before entering. I do not have allergies, I just choose not to consume animal products. It is important to me to be able to enjoy a dessert as well.

They mentioned that they can accommodate vegan requests if I call ahead, but I prefer to see vegan items and prices on the menu before going in. I don't want to be treated differently because I don't have any allergies, I just prefer not to eat meat. I also enjoy having dessert options available.

They offer the option to substitute regular cream with soy cream in their pasta sauces, and I tried the mushroom stroganoff made with soy cream and soy protein which was delicious. The staff is knowledgeable about vegan options, and there are many vegan-friendly menu items or options that can be modified to be vegan.

The food was ok, quite bland and inspiring, and the staff was very welcoming....The terrible element is the patronage of the owner and simply rude attitude besides, terrible inappropriate jokes. Maybe it's me that is clearly lacking in any sense of humor, but I was shocked that welcoming could be so bad and so terrible inappropriate. I haven't experienced anything bad since the 1980s with regard to how small and unwilling I feel. Perhaps this is one of the cucumbers that people love the restaurant, but it is certainly not for me!

What about eating? the best olives for a long time, well loaded delicious pizzas, great selection of puddings and beveridges ice cream especially pleasant. the owner told us he didn't look at tripadvisor. obviously he knew what was important to others without criticism/bouquets.
