Very tasty food in a nicely decorated restaurant. Good atmosphere even for a Sunday evening when restaurants are usually fairly quiet. Nice wine with very good overall service. First time visiting this restaurant and will come again when in Brighton. Excellent value for money.

A truly beautiful restaurant with amazing service. We went for my partners birthday and they brought his dessert with a candle and gave him a card. This was a very respectful way to help celebrate and it was greatly appreciated that there was no attention drawn but still allowed us to celebrate and make some lovely memories. The food was great with excellent portions. Highly recommended this restaurant.
