To say this place was a huge disappointment is putting it very lightly! I don’t know where to start first.The service bar one waitress & barman was ATROCIOUS. The waiter that brought us to the table clearly did not want to be there.We ordered the seafood platter for one which was £32 and it literally was a few things thrown onto a plate. We could have done the same thing at home. The oysters were very skinny and unfortunately we had to mention them to the waitress.What ensued was disgusting. The initial waitress was very polite and offered an alternative scallops for the oysters. We offered for her to take the oysters back but she didn’t.In the next few minutes we were approached by 2 waitresses, an older and younger blonde ladies. I would hazard a guess and say they were mother and daughter and owned the restaurant. The young woman was extremely rude and proceeded to rudely explain to us why the oysters were this way. She did offer the same exchange of scallops for the oysters and actually took the oysters away from the plate. Then the older woman also explained the same thing but in a calmer manner. This was completely unnecessary as the first waitress had already done the same thing. We were pretty shocked with this treatment.It was my mothers birthday and the day before we went in person to confirm the booking and they had said that they had tagged it was my mothers birthday and asked for her name. Being in the hospitality business myself I would assume they were going to do some gesture to celebrate this. As the meal ended there was no mention of the birthday, even to ask if we wanted to get a dessert to mark the occasion - charged of course.When we got the bill they had added 12.5% service charge. What a joke!!I have been to Riddles before and the experience was so much better. It’s literally next door and they also have one in the town. If you’re after a good seafood meal and service go to Riddles and steer way clear of this place!!!

Had a lovely seaside meal here, the monk fish tasted divine, as did the lobster roll starter. My only note would be the portion sizes. Service was great, didn’t catch our waitresses name but she was very friendly and answered all of our questions. Will deffo come back when next in Brighton.

The lobster included in the platter was huge and tasty, which with the outstanding shrimp and other seafood makes the Lobster Platter a must-eat. The service was good and it seems all the past negative reviews are dated and inaccurate now. The food was pricy but very much worth it.

A bit different from my experience last summer, but food was still great! The banana squid was interesting, you should give it a try.

I'd have to rate this place a 9/10, hence why I can't give it 5 stars. The food was outstanding, could not pick fault with it. The crab platter and the starters of mackerel and lobster ravioli and bisque were incredible! Service was very prompt and not overbearing. I did feel that the wine prices and £11.50 for a miniscule cocktail, which did taste nice, were too much. That's the only thing that denies this place the 10/10 given we spent nearly £100 per head.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Copper Clam restaurant, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm and friendly smiles from the staff, and I knew right away that I was in for a treat.First and foremost, the food at Copper Clam was simply outstanding. As their name suggests, they specialize in seafood, and I could tell right away that they only use the freshest ingredients in all of their dishes. I started with the mussels, and it was rich, velvety, and packed with flavor. The shellfish platter that followed were arguably the best I've ever had. I must say that the Copper Clam truly excelled in this department. As someone who has had their fair share of seafood over the years, I can confidently say that the oysters, clams, and mussels were among the freshest and most delicious that I've ever had. I could tell right away that they were carefully sourced and handled, and it made all the difference in the world.Of course, great food is only part of the equation when it comes to dining out, and I'm happy to report that the service at Copper Clam was equally impressive. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and always had a smile on her face. She made excellent recommendations and was happy to answer any questions that we had. The rest of the staff was also friendly and accommodating, and I could tell that they all took great pride in their work.In summary, if you're looking for outstanding food, fresh and delicious shellfish, and impeccable service, look no further than the Copper Clam restaurant. I have no doubt that it will quickly become a favorite of anyone who gives it a try, and I can't wait to go back myself. So, if you want to have a memorable seafood dining experience, the Copper Clam restaurant should definitely be on the top of your list.

Lovely fresh seafood spot. You will be greatly surprised. Staff extremely professional. Food was exactly as described. The flavours were magical. I am still currently in a food coma. Give this spot a chance. And give yourself the time to absorb the atmosphere, don’t rush. Great selection of wines.

Door held open upon arrival by the owners.Very very warm welcome given by waiting staff and owners, shown to tables allowed to choose which they even cleaned one especially in the corner for us.Then had a little chat with waitress owner, We were choosing a mid range wine but were recommended A lower priced one. And she was spot on. The Verdejo was delicious!Menus where brought, everything on there sounded amazing.We chose a few starters to share, scallops and squid, both of them superb; and few mains with sprouts and the crab fries to die for.Mussels were fantastic and the sauce was amazing
