Jo & Co Restaurant Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "Food is delicious, staff are friendly, atmosphere is vibrant."
• "Everything has been excellent. Owners & staff attentive, never rush you."
• "Excellent Sunday full English breakfast, good quality sausage and bacon."
• "Delicious and well executed brunch here. Ham hock hash had amazing pillows of potato."
• "Everyone loved it! The best pancake we tasted so far 😍😋 and not too pricey for a hove restaurant."
• "Delicious food, good portions and value for money. The shakshouka was delicious with grilled feta on top and really fresh vegetables and bread."

Cons:

• "Good food, would perhaps not recommend the fried egg, but aside from that all tasted good."
• "Some ingredients are clearly frozen food (fries, squid etc). Lots of unnecessary spice thrown around which just kills original flavors."
• "Starters were very good but mains were not as nice. I had a burger and chips but the burger was quite dry."
• "Portion sizes are a bit steep for what you get, especially for the sandwiches that come with no sides."
• "Pea and courgette fritters tasted like they had been frozen and microwaved."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Staff were friendly but did sort of give the vibe of we were silly to go without making a reservation."
• "Staff are welcoming and always knowledgeable about the menu."
• "Staff completely ignored us when we walked in, no one came over to seat us so we walked in."
• "The team were very friendly and knowledgable on the menu."
• "Fab place, the brunch is amazing. Staff all so friendly & even when they were busy and probably needing the table back, the lovely waitress said relax & enjoy yourself ☺️."
• "Staff are amazing and so attentive. The hospitality is 10/10 and the food is delicious."

Cons:

• "Service included in the bill."
• "Though it's obviously mainly a brunch place, coming for dinner was still great."
• "The manager stopped us even though the waitress welcomed us in. The food is terrible."
• "The staff wore visors which don't really work when you lean over people and their tables."
• "I had a really interesting breakfast off the specials board: jalepeno cornbread, eggs and avocado. The cornbread was a perfect mix of savoury, sweet and spicy!"

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

• "Nice atmosphere and service was good overall."
• "Really love this place for brunch, great atmosphere, really interestingly decorated which brings some fun into the place."
• "Amazing breakfast and cute little venue!"
• "Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly service from owners Jo & Pete who were very attentive and provided a fast super service."
• "Beautiful interior, excellent service/hospitality as well as the food & drinks."

Cons:

• "The place was full, so very loud during lunchtime. But on top they turned the music on, which made it even worse."
• "Only slight downside was the evening ambience wasn't quite right.... the lighting really needs adjusting and the candles should be on the tables."
• "It's extremely difficult to hear the people who you went there with to enjoy a chat and some food together. The place wasn't full but it was very hard for me to hear what my partner and his daughter were saying."
• "The restaurant is bright clean and the perfect size. Everyone seemed happy and being well looked after."
• "The place is nice, and the food is good, but they're quite stingy on ingredients."
