"The service was fast and the waitress who was serving us was brilliant."
Cons:
"The manager was very rude when we were paying our bill as he just wanted to get rid of us."
"While the food and cocktails were lovely, the whole experience was ruined by a very rude waitress."
"The man with the black tattoo sleeve and the Italian accent is rude and aggressive in how he addresses customers."
"Service was extremely slow and the waitresses were very cold and unwelcoming, was made to feel like we shouldn’t be there."
"The staff were a bit slow and got impression most of them couldn’t be bothered being there."
"Once seated ignored for approx 20 mins and had to grab someone's attention to order."
"Serving staff need some training though - they couldn't answer questions about the menu and served the wrong main meal to each of us."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Burgers are delicious."
"The 'tempura' fish & chips we ordered was delicious."
"VG mushrooms - delicious and flavoursome, praline dessert - smooth and rich."
"Steak wasn’t hot, but was still very tasty."
"The food was amazing, one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, and the desserts were to die for!"
"Portion sizes are above average and the food was well presented, tasty and reasonably priced."
"The food was tasty, well cooked, simply amazing and top quality."
Cons:
"Out of three of the meals two came cold."
"A little pricey for mains that were not amazing but looked great."
"The food took 2 hours to come and when it did, it was very bland and not worth the money."
"Ordered the sirloin steak, medium rare.. And that's quite literally all I received along with a side of depressed rocket leaves and a soggy tomato, nothing else.."
"Quite disappointed with the food. Was here to dine. Please don't say it's tempura when it is not."
"Nice atmosphere and great service but the food was absolutely disgusting.. fries tasted like they were cooked at least three times, the meat was like rubber/charcoal and please don't ever take the so called falafel burger.. yuck."
"The ribs were not as juicy as I would have liked."
Ambiance and Decor
Pros:
"Later in the evenings, the restaurant transforms into a dance venue, which works remarkably well."
"Great ambience and decor, music and fab terrace."
"Music was mostly on point for sure, the staff and crowd were on 🔥."
"Decor and ambiance was amazing."
"Stunning interior, deceptive from the outside, you wouldn't believe how huge the place is!"
"Ambiance was good."
"The venue is stunning."
Cons:
"The one downside is that they didn't turn on the fans or get a good flow of cool air through the place, it was super hot."
"Service at the bars can be quite slow due to large cocktail menu and everything served in plastic."
"We waited 10mins to be served then a further 20mins for our drinks to arrive."
"The restaurant turns into a club at 10:30."
"This is a nice looking venue, shame it wasn't very busy when we were there, its £5 to get in, and all the tables are roped off so no where to get a drink and sit down."
"It’s lovely downstairs but upstairs is a little more dingy."
"Coffee bar separate to the bar & kitchen so the service staff had to be yelled when service was ready - not pleasant."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Yeh, the drinks aren’t the cheapest but the atmosphere, service and drinks were worth every penny."
"The wine was very good if a little bit expensive but overall I'd say this was worth the trip."
"Said drinks were a little outside of my price range (£9.50 for a Mai Tai, for example) but certainly worth the price, judging by the taste and quality of the spirits."
"The food was delicious and reasonably priced."
"The food is great and the prices are reasonable."
"Don't overlook their incredible wine list. A diverse selection from around the world. And their cocktail selections are excellent too."
"Absolute first class host and a great place, we really could not fault any aspect of our visit, food, service, value for money...all 5 star."
Cons:
"Eye wateringly expensive even by Brighton standards."
"Food is too pricey for the quality, not worth it."
"They seemed reasonably priced until we realised they don't come with any sides, for which you have to pay extra."
"A big disappointment! A well presented place but overpriced food and the food too little and not done properly."
"Door charge in operation (£5) from around 11pm but the time varies."
"Everything was nice except the creamed mash which was super bland and not creamy at all."
"Also not quite sure why it took 20 mins to put some hot water on a peppermint tea bag."
