    The food was superb. The service was attentive but not over bearing. The only thing in my opinion is the decor is looking a bit tired. Example, the table tops have, in their current condition, seen better days. In my opinion there's a little too shabby in the shabby chic look. However, I came to try your food and very glad I did. It really was excellent and all served with a smile by your friendly staff.

    Beautiful steak , stunning starter.. food was spot on. Fillet steak cooked to perfection. Only thing I would say is more range on soft drinks if people cannot drink booze. Maybe like sugar free soft drinks. Xx

    Went here for our anniversary and every part of the experience was perfect! The food was cooked to perfection, the staff were so lovely and helpful from beginning to end and I really cannot recommend the steaks here enough. Will be returning some day simply due to the lovely service and great food. Solid recommendation if you're looking for steak in Brighton with a nice atmosphere that is isn't so sophisticated you feel awkward just being there, but classy enough you know you're in for a exceptional time.

    What a fab evening in any possible way! The food was excellent, made with love, fine ingredients and nicely presented. The cocktails were delicious and a tasty surprise. The service was flawless and the upper room was very cosy and relaxed. It is definitely my favourite place to eat in Brighton.
