The food is a mixture of French, Mexican, English, Moroccan cuisines and very nicely presented. The place has only been there for a few months but already seems rather popular. The music suits the interior design (I particularly liked the wall where customers left their thoughts on using a felt pen and the one full of old photos). They have a nice function room upstairs too if you wish to have a private party. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Eastbourne definitely needs more places like this, go and find out for yourselves!

A welcome return visit to this lovely place for a family dinner, a lovely evening, with the…read moreexception of the food, which was below average at best. I had the crispy duck rolls which were dry and bland, not sure where the 'crispy' came into it, followed by a sirloin steak that was tougher than a pair of my old boots and then a panacotta which was like a forlorn blob of tasteless paste begging to be put out of its misery. The servers are very pleasing to the eye and seem to be handpicked by someone who knows talent when they see it, but prefer to ignore it and choose young girls who try their best but offer service that is random to say the least. Needless to say, 3 courses plus a reasonable bottle of plonk work out at about 50 quid a head with a service charge (well, they did take photos for me and as I alluded to before, they were not a little pleasing on the eye). The ambience is still very pleasant but I just got the feeling that they were all just going through the motions and taking advantage of the fact that there is a shortage of such eating places in the area now. Such a shame, I Guess I'll go back, but it won't be for the food.

Well executed French cuisine with flair. I started with the smoked trout, which was great (tasted like smoked salmon) and beautifully presented. For the main, I had the fillet with braised ox cheeks. The highlight was the ox cheeks, wish I had more. Also really enjoyed the beetroot mash. The fillet itself was okay but not exceptional. I also had a side of heirloom tomatoes, great variety of tomatoes though some were not perfectly ripe. Again, a nice and interesting meal, something you don't expect this close to an airport.

The staff are really friendly and down to earth and the surroundings are fantastic, especially when the weathers good. There's loads on the menu from jacket spuds to breaded plaice so if your in a hurry or want a nice long lunch, both are catered for. They do a fantastic full English here too or if your feeling adventurous, I'd recommend the Loch Fyne Kippers. Its fully licensed here and they do serve a really nice South African Merlot for around £12 or of course you can just stick to the Harveys as it hasn't had more than 20 yards to travel!

Brasserie conjures pictures of a cool young couple enjoying a light lunch and a glass of wine, where as in reality you are far more likely to encounter old age pensioners nursing a cup of tea and a sarnie here! Not that there is anything wrong with this, I came here myself the other day and nursed a cup of tea and a slice of carrot cake! The tea was tea and the cake was pretty tasty although the frosting was overly sweetened. Other foods include sandwiches, bagettes, fish and chips, pie and chips etc etc. The food is apparently all homemade and looked reasonably tasty. Situated in a small shopping hall with a food hall, craft shops and gift retailers, there are also said to be good views over the river but we weren't able to see them from where we were sitting. They advertise free wifi but it wasn't working on our visit. Service was a little slow and a little surly. Overall, it's fine for a cake and a cuppa, but there are better options in Lewes if you require something a little more substantial.

This seems to disadvantage then to local customers who may want to pop in frequently? The brunch we had was lovely, the decor was nice, the shop part was very lovely too, there was only one loo which means it gets messy quite quickly once the cafe gets busy, my main issue though was the waitress, she wasn't rude paticularly but she wasn't sincerely friendly either and having been a waitress seeing her standing around chatting and not moving at any real speed whilst people are waiting for drinks is poor attitude, if the food is taking a while and the guy behind the bar is struggling then get your self into gear and do some yourself if you have nothing better to do, trust me it keeps people happier once they have a drink!

Everytime we asked a question, he didn't have an answer. He didn't inform us of items that were out of stock until after we ordered them. He knew nothing about the wine list. And worst of all, we found out our show had been cancelled last-minute and we were trying to scramble for alternate plans, yet it seemed like he was rushing us out of the place despite the place being half empty. The building is beautiful, the wine list is solid, and the food we did have was alright -- definitely not among the best in London, but solid for the theatre district, which is full of tourist traps. But the service was truly *awful*, so I would not recommend it.

It is no longer so much a traditional pub as it appears from the outside, but more emphasis on the restaurant side of it.

What good food it was, as good and wholesome as anything served in our 'foodie' neck of the woods here in the San Francisco Bay area. With cheeses like Winterdale Shaw, (they have their own dairy herd, and chalk lined cellar to mature the cheese in), and Bloomy Rinded Somerset Brie, it was a pleasure dining there.
