"We are lucky to have this restaurant in Brighton and at this price-point for the food itself, however the drinks have much depth of interest and a wide range of prices. Lovely original (unique) cocktails."

Another posted: "This place is amazing, the food, the service, the cocktails, the wine and the ambience were superb.

"We were made to feel welcome from the moment that we arrived and every member of staff that we met were friendly, very professional and made us feel valued."
