Catch & Grill

As a regular in the Third Avenue, I have got to say when they open the catch and grill and seeing the menu it was amazing, the food was exceptional and always has been. They have a great tequila selection, especially the dirty tequila! Would highly recommend as the service and bar staff are so friendly too.

I had the best dinner ever! I ordered a chicken, Mac and cheese and spring onions fries, which was amazing. I would definitely order it again.

How horrendous. Went there with high hopes for a birthday meal on Saturday 1st July.The food as per the menu did not match the food received - by a long way. We weren’t told of any problems until we asked questions after the food had arrived!!! It was only at that point we were told the restaurant had problems with suppliers and didn’t have all the food as per the menu!In one case the crab rosti was replaced with a frozen triangle shaped hash brown. Terrible. How are you able to do that ?!If there are supply chain issues raise it at the start so you make your decision based on the available menu.However to find that every single items (including the wine) is different to what ordered is fairly poor show.I would not return here and certainly would not recommend anyone else visits.Very disappointing - what a poor poor experience.

I came here for dinner with my family for my daughters birthday last weekend. the servers were lovely and friendly. the food was spectacular. I had the monkfish and my husband had the gambas as our mains and they were both cooked and seasoned to perfection. will definitely be coming again and cannot recommend enough!

Dined here back in April and STILL waiting for a refund...It was my first time trying C&G and expectations were high. The pictures online presented what appeared to be a great first date spot and I was excited to try out the menu.On arrival, admittedly 7 minutes late due to traffic, I was told that the venue had no idea about my booking. It later transpired that the table we were initially booked onto had been given away - to whom I do not know as the venue was practically empty and remained this way all evening.We were seated in between a birthday party who spent the most part of their evening walking round eating and shouting. Due to the poor service and food they received, said party left the venue explicitly without paying. This was a conversation we heard in much detail.We were told much of the menu was off on the evening - it eventually became a fish restaurant with little option of sea food dishes to choose from. No squid or cod etc, all staples of the menu. Had we not already had drinks on the table, and it being a first date, I too would have left.I wish we had...The food was atrocious - a whole plaice drenched in a salty milky sauce was sent back as was an ice cold plate of seabass. We expressed our opinions on this when doing so but nothing was done about it. The only redeeming factor from the food was the homemade black pudding which I must admit was lovely. Sadly this didn't come close to making up for such a poor dinner.If the food and ambience was bad, the service was even worse and this appears to have been a recurring them post-evening in an attempt to claim a refund. On the night we were continually rushed when eating and drinking to the point I informed the waiter serving us that I would tell him when the plates were ready to send back.After the night I debated whether I should complain and ultimately felt I needed to. After a week the General Manager, Alice, responded to my email saying we could have 50% off our next meal with C&G. She also detailed a number of reasons why the evening was so poor and to be honest it seems as though things have been like this for a while. I responded with several emails chasing my refund over the course of several weeks. I also called but was frequently met with rude and unhelpful staff who kept trying to get me off the phone.FINALLY I spoke with Alice via the phone and she agreed to refund me for the evening. I was told she would call me back that evening and process the refund. There was no call...I then called 48 hours later to ask if all was okay - I was then told that the refund was not happening due to the owner saying no. No call to confirm this, again me chasing.I would avoid this place like the plague. The lure of its fancy decor and seemingly extensive menu was tainted by a myriad of issues, most of which seem to be common. Having read recent reviews, it seems C&G is a place firmly on the decline. I have never experienced service or food like it in other seafood restaurants in Brighton & Hove and I would strongly recommend trying R&F, English's or Salt Room.£140 down the drain!

Okay, so I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and it’s hit and miss that’s all I can say. Sometimes it’s good but when it’s bad it’s diabolical. My last visit I always have the same thing monkfish skewers.jeez they were dry..bits of charred pitta bread ripped up..dry fish..no sauce and a load of pomegranate seeds on top! ( should be roti not pitta ) Dry and desperate ..appalling . My friend hates to complain. But she can’t cook so is easily pleased and recites the same old mantra “ooh it’s so nice” So depending on the chef is dependent on how the dish is served up.. WRONG. There has to be consistency or else how can you offer the same dish dressed in very different ways? It’s imbecilic. Now let’s get onto the service. My friend who is rich ordered a bottle of champagne the waiter was chatty.. seen him before. But I could not believe this he actually asked us if we wanted champagne glasses? Obviously we were ordering champagne? Imagine that kind of thing happening in London? It just wouldn’t. Then I felt so passionately about the lacklustre experience that I had that I actually called the restaurant and I was told that if I left my email the manager would get back to me. Of course he didn’t get back to me. Lazy lazy, lazy ..THATS what screams out at me. Like so many of the restaurants in Brighton & Hove..all fur coat and no k……s! Amateurish and rubbish

Amazing food. I’ve ordered a steak that came the way I really liked it. The Flt White Martini cocktail was so good that I really recommend it. Definitely I will be back

Lovely restaurant, really friendly chilled out staff. Loved the Seabass, fries and squid, but the prawn dish and scallops were really quite over cooked, so for that reason would probably not revisit for the price. But, it’s a new place, so maybe with some time they’ll settle in and get better. Thanks for the food and hopefully this isn’t too harsh for a review.

A truly terrible experience. Instead of a crab rosti my friend got a frozen hash brown. Our starters came with half the elements missing and my medium rare steak came well done. The service was slow, complaints were dealt with badly. And no one really cared that we were served so poorly. Avoid at all costs.
