We came here on a bank holiday, and it is one of the two restaurants which were not full, so we got lucky and got a seat. The food was good in smaller portion (except for the cheese platter) and on the more expensive side, which were reasonable because it is by the sea and it’s a part of a hotel. The staff are polite and quick. We ordered a starter, 2 mains, 2 cocktails, and 2 dessert. Unfortunately there was a family with a screaming kid, so despite we paid a good amount of money, we still have to eat with constant screaming and crying. I saw the staff asked the parents if they can help with anything, the parents turned them down. But I think a better option is to offer them a separate room in the other side of the restaurant. The main reason for this 1 star review is when we pay our bill, they charged us euros, which makes no sense because that is a British account with enough GBP(we live in the UK , not tourists) and it charged us 9 pounds conversion fee. The staff explained it is done automatically and he doesn’t know why. We really don’t appreciate the lack of effort to resolve the issue. I understand error can happen from time to time, it is the staff’s effort in solving the issue that matters. In this case, there was none.

Restaurant was a lot quieter than most in the area, which actually suited us (it's inside a hotel).The menu is limited and I was expecting more seafood options for a nautical themed restaurant.We ordered Tiger Prawns to share, only 3 pieces, suggest maybe giving 4 pieces and would be prepared to pay slightly more.We ordered two mains; fish & chips and a burger with fries. We enjoyed both meals. Fish & chips was slightly pricey though.The service was good and staff were attentive.Overall slightly pricier for what you get but we had a nice experience.

We had booked a table of 7 for Sunday lunch. The maitre d remained seated and pointed us to the table as it was obviously too much effort to walk us the 5 meters to the table. The waitress Emmeline was fantastic even though the bar and kitchen threw her under the bus several times. Wrong drinks from the bar, warm glasses and then chilled glasses for beers with water in the bottom. The kitchen then delayed 2 of the seven meals for approximately 10 minutes after the others meals had been served because they had got the orders wrong and had to re make the meals. Throughout these issues Emmeline remained attentive and apologetic and maintained a good degree of service. Again the maitre d remained seated as talking to other members of staff was higher up her priorities than the satisfaction of her customers. On a positive note, the food was good and the decor is beautiful.

Hotel on the seafront in Brighton. Hotel has no parking but there is parking close by.The hotel is near alot of nightlife so if this is your thing your choice is plentiful. The spa was great and ideal for a relaxing time in Saturday afternoon. Only complaint would be the symphony of the pipes from the plumbing, but as this is an old building this could be the reasoning. A wedding was in on the Sunday night seem to be having a great time in the bar.

didn't book a pre show meal , we had stayed at the hotel before so took a chance. They kindly fitted us in first in a bar seating area , then when we asked again , at a table but only for 1Hr 15 mins but that was fine. We only wanted 1 course and we had time limitations ourselves. My partner is pescatarian so the choice was limited but she settled on the Fish and Chips , I had a burger. Both seemed pricey but not extortionate for Brighton and our own fault for not pre booking somewhere. When the food arrived my partners battered fish was liberally covered in sea salt? Which to her palette rendered it uneatable. She persevered by taking the batter off but it was ruined. The chef by chance was doing the rounds and we informed him about the fish. he did to his credit offer to cook us another piece of fish, but we had no time for this, and no one wants to eat alone. So we declined but did say, an explanation in the menu or from the servers maybe would be an advantage. A lot of people like to season their own food. The main server then came to clear our plates he saw my partners plate and asked if the meal was ok. We explained again and that's when the conversation took a turn for the worse. His attitude was not conciliary, we weren't asking for anything just making observations and suggestions. but he was trying to convince us not every ingredient could be listed , if we had a problem with added salt we should have said. it was an essential part of the meal , just like the oil for frying? Now we did want something, we wanted the cost of the meal taken off of the bill, he assured us there was nothing he could do, and we assured him there was but he was refusing to do so. The bill was paid in full and we left.1) maybe in future let people season their own food, or if you insist on doing it make sure they know beforehand, even your local chippy has the curtesy to ask do you want salt and vinegar on that.2) we know there is a staff shortage for everyone but if your new staff do make mistakes , don't let your customers suffer. We heard your senior server tell the waitress as we were leaving , to tell the customers in future about the salt on the fish, too little too late!3) We also heard the senior server , tell the table next to us about the specials, one of which was a Fish pie. Our new inexperienced server did not tell us this. So we had to pay for your staffs lack of training.4) we did not ask for the service charge to be removed as we felt as appalling as the senior servers service to your customers was, it was by no means the inexperienced servers fault.

The restaurant, on the seafront, is light, airy and tastefully decorated in a style reminiscent of the old ’end-of-pier’ amusements – from the large carousel - like lampshades to the chairs to the wallpaper. Four of us had lunch. The scallop starter, the tempura prawns, the crispy beef salad and the asparagus were all very good. The cod with crab crust was unusual and very good as was the duck confit. The portions of fish and chips were very generous.Two of us were staying at the hotel and had breakfast here three times. Both the buffet and the choice of cooked items were very good in terms of both variety and quality.Good value for money, friendly, efficient service and a lovely relaxed ambiance.

Popped in for cocktails. Probably the best we have ever had. Pablo was the most charming and knowledgeable barman, his recommendations were top notch. Definitely recommend !!!

Went there at lunchtime today. Service patchy, food overpriced - £19.50 for batter and ten chips and a Bergamot Eton Tidy desert thingy which was an absolute overpriced joke. 12.5% service charge. Came away feeling ripped off and hungry.
