    My husband and I went there for dinner. Although we didn't make an reservation. We were seated almost immediately. The starter we choose was the fresh scallops. We both had pan fried fish. It was so delicious. Follow by dessert. Overall all dishes are outstanding. The staff were friendly and attentive. The setting was casual and comfortable.

    Hake main

    Been meaning to head here for over a year but mixed reviews and the lack of a special occasion have meant we only got to go yesterday for our sons 1 month anniversary with 7 of us in total. Got to say it was worth the wait. The venue is one of the nicest I think of many of the restaurants in Brighton, and more importantly now that we have a buggy with us permanently it's spacious. A nice oval booth had a really nice feel and they must have dropped some serious cash on the refit. Top marks. The food was also great, beautifully presented and whilst the main menu can get pricey there is also a set menu that is much more reasonable at about £15 for two courses and £20 for three. We were also aloud to pick bits from the the set menu that weren't on the main which was good. The starters were divine (I had chicken livers) and the sharing surfboard was pretty impressive looking. A bit of a ball ache to eat as you have to de-shell the crab etc yourself which I'm not that into but if you like getting dirty when eating it's right up your ally. The fish curry and chips were also great. I'd heard about the seaside desert before hand and really wanted to try it. It's looks spectacular and elements of it are great but I found a lot of it so sweet and sugary it was a bit too much. The mini donut was amazing though. Will definitely be going back when I'll probably try a less messy main and one of the other deserts which all looked amazing. It worked out about £55 a head with a couple of beers each and a bottle of wine between 7 of us so not as extortionate as I'd been led to believe but definitely on the higher end. But you do get what you pay for. Check it out.

    The surf board - some of the best seafood I've ever had

    Absolutely outstanding! We booked the salt room for our anniversary and it was everything we wanted and more, perfect for a special occasion. We had octopus to start, which was delicious and perfectly cooked, then the surf board platter to share and honestly, it was some of the best seafood I've ever had! Langoustine, prawns, scallops, mussels and crab claws, all perfectly fresh and very very tasty. Even the bread on the side was very good! What made The salt room really stand out was the staff - incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive without being overbearing. They really made us feel special. I would highly recommend this place for a special occasion.

    8.10pm on a Tuesday night, restaurant half empty but wouldn't seat a table of six. Computer says no, so English you couldn't make it up.

    You can't walk more than a few feet in Brighton without seeing a seafood restaurant. And in our…read morecase this was the second choice as the first restaurant we wanted was fully booked, but honestly, I don't mind and I am glad the first place was book as this restaurant was excellent. The layout is a bit dated but don't let that fool you, with a view of the beach across the street this is a lovely place to have dinner. My girlfriend and I both had grilled fish options. I went with the Salmon and she had the Sea Bass. Both were delicious, although hers was looking up at her with sad dead eyes. We also had some shrimp as an appetizer that was excellent. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that we went in August of 2020 (the era of COVID) and the waitress and others working at the restaurant were not properly wearing masks. The waitress had one on, that she would pull down when talking to us so as to be heard better. Making the mask pointless

    Well you have to say this is a bizarre little place. Its a step back in time for sure...look a the…read morephotos...but... ...the staff are great, the service is great, the food is superb and apparently the Irish coffee was also really good...don't go there for the house wine though but its OK So why go, the food yes but the prices....its absolutely amazing...2 good sized lemon sole off the bone with potatoes were the same price as I can buy just 1 in the market, but of course its cooked too. We had a little bottle of fizz each, while we were waiting, 200cl like you used to get on airplanes...drinkable, fun experience..£5 each....seriously there is nothing not to like! And nearly everyone in there was a regular or returned every year when on holiday...everyone seemed to know everyone..and you will understand why they comeback...we will Great (unusual) place, run I think by Greek Cypriots...a lot of Greek stuff on the menu too Check it out!
