Wow! Absolutely loved dinner here. Drinks and food fantastic. Cocktails were also a highlight. Service was friendly and efficient. Mid meal power cut which everyone handled with good humour and professionalism- the team were super chill. Ate some of our tacos in the street due to this which was fun. Absolutely loved this place. We are heading back asap!

The food, service and atmosphere were all 10/10.A relaxed friendly unpretentious vibe.The sour cherry margarita was delicious and every dish we had was stand out, the pork tacos and the scallops were our favourites.We will definitely be coming back!

The food was excellent. The scallops were my favourite, with the cauliflower and broccoli close seconds.However it is quite a small space. I don’t think I’ve ever sat so close to another table. We ended up chatting with our neighbours as they were so close. If you get a choice go for the table in the window - I think that’s the table with the most space around it.I will return and will try to make sure I get that window seat!

On holiday, we’d booked for our wedding anniversary after reading the review by Giles Coren. Totally different from anything we’ve ever had, the four dishes plus a dessert were ample for us and the wine went well. Our favourite dish was the nectarine salad. Only drawbacks were the closeness of all the tables and shortly before we left, a very noisy group of 4 ladies came in. But a great experience with very friendly staff. We’ll be back next time we’re here on holiday!

What an amazing place! We had dinner here and it didn’t disappoint. The food is incredible, I’d have ordered everything on the menu if I could have eaten it all! Literally every dish is special, flavoured so amazingly well. The staff are friendly and attentive, the restaurant is small, casual, and welcoming with just the right music to accompany the food. And all the nicer that you can see straight into the kitchen and watch the chef creating this amazing food. We had 6 plates and 2 starter snacks between two of us, but I wish I’d had room for more, would totally recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Other reviews are definitely accurate. Some of the best food we've eaten in a while in Brighton/Hove or even London. Intimate kind of atmosphere but can be a bit overwhelming if you don't like sitting fairly close to other people or have difficulty hearing in loud environments. Food was very tasty, cocktails were nice too and the waitresses were super attentive and kind. Highly recommend a visit!

The most delicious food I’ve eaten in Brighton! Everything was very well-seasoned and the staff were very lovely and helpful! The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because of the limited options of soft drinks (for those like me and my husband who are not currently drinking alcohol). Apart from that, we definitely recommend it!

What a great new restaurant! I can’t wait to come back already ?My partner and I came here for a celebratory dinner on a friend’s recommendation - we ordered 6 plates between us and were absolutely full to the brim!! I think 5 dishes to share between 2 would be sufficient, maybe less if you’re planning on enjoying snacks, cocktails and/or dessert.The service is fast and friendly - service charge isn’t included in the bill, but worth adding as 100% goes to the lovely staff.The presentation of the food is plain and simple, but the flavours speak for themselves. I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled nectarines dish and the sweetcorn, and the pork birria taco was divine. The food arrives quickly and as soon as it’s ready - don’t expect all dishes at once!I would say that the atmosphere wasn’t a perfect match for us celebrating our recent engagement - the tables are all super close together which made having a more ‘intimate’ dinner a challenge - but if you’re looking for a lively, buzzy vibe, this is certainly the place for you!! ✨

Absolutely stunning food.Every dish was its own masterpiece, all in different ways, yet they complimented each other perfectly.Innovate ideas that really work and perfectly executed. Deserves a Michelin star.And reasonably priced.And the aperitifs were inventive and delicious.As a keen cook this was not only a wonderful afternoon, but will give me inspiration in the kitchen for months.?

Lovely lunch with family. Unlike most other small plates venues the dishes arrived gradually as we ate, not all at once.
