The Seahorse Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Location

Pros:

• "The views to the sea, beach, and promenade are breathtaking... and as we sat inside the enormous windows, we stayed off the wind!"
• "The place has been renovated recently and is in the best seafront location, indoor and outdoor seating."
• "An absolute joy to visit and the most perfect location. We enjoyed beautiful views of a stormy sea."
• "Possibly the best location in Brighton. Panoramic views with outside seating on several levels."
• "This is a beautiful light location next to the i360 tower."

Cons:

• "Although the sign said Fully Booked, walk-ins were OK if seated outside, with ordering online via QR code on the table."
• "Front of house guy pleasant enough, maybe a tad in your face. Lady taking the order was a little grumpy."
• "The place would have a beautiful view of the beach, the sea and the burned-down sea bridge, but unfortunately the windows are so dirty that it’s not really a pleasure to look outside."

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "Food was great, service was fast."
• "Had a couple of amazing vegetarian starters/sides and a lovely Aperol spritz."
• "The food was absolutely delicious for all of us (fish, steak, good veggie options and sides)."
• "We ordered fish and chips - served hot, the batter was crispy and dry, good quality fish."
• "Very nice location, and great layout too, making use of its position. Good choice of food on the menu, and all tasted great, nicely cooked and presented."

Cons:

• "Sat upstairs and the food comes up in a dumb waiter, and was luke warm to cold."
• "The place would have a beautiful view of the beach, but unfortunately the windows are so dirty that it’s not really a pleasure to look outside. The waiter seemed a bit depressed and was not the fastest."
• "Nice sunny indoor seating with good selection of stuff to have for both lunch and dinner, good waitress service at tables both in and out, and nice and warm with the sunshine on a good day. Have been here before a while back and liked this spot once again."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "The 3 staff members waiting on us had a lovely manner."
• "The Seahorse team are lovely and make every visit special."
• "The staff were super friendly and accommodating."
• "A spacious restaurant on two floors by the beach that's run well, it's clean and tidy, upstairs smart, downstairs casual and accepts dogs."
• "We love coming to this restaurant. The staff are always welcoming and the food is great along with a fab view."

Cons:

• "Service could improve, very slow lately, even when they're not busy. Original staff where brilliant."
• "Waited over an hour for our drinks, waitress didn’t seem too happy to take our orders and when she did half of it turned up and the rest we had to chase up."
• "The service was haphazard at best with incorrect orders being placed and items being missed."
• "Incredibly slow service and tasteless food unfortunately. Had to ask where our drinks were multiple times and were given dirty/chipped glasses which we had to get up and go to the bar to swap."
