It's essentially Italian tapas - small dishes such as a couple of meatballs in sauce, which is great if you're with friends or family as sharing is encouraged. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection; the only downside is the price! It was rather pricey for the small amount of tiny dishes my friend and I ordered, but you do get what you pay for. It isn't a place I would visit regularly as it is definitely a place to treat yourself with! Overall however when you do decide to make a visit, you won't be disappointed. Just don't be shocked at the prices!

Small, cool, unassuming, and a little tucked away. Definitely one of those IYKYK restaurants. Sat at the bar and immediately knew I was in the right place. The natural wine selection is fantastic. The wine program is on point. We ordered a few things to share. The oysters were excellent, super fresh, and they had Porthilly Rocks, which is always a good sign if you know oysters. Everything that came out was just simple food done properly. Nothing overcomplicated, just really good ingredients and a kitchen that clearly knows how to cook. You can also tell this is a real culinary crowd kind of place. Not a tourist trap. The place felt abuzz with aficionados. Brighton has a number of good restaurants, but Plateau stands out. If I lived here, I'd be in this place all the time. Strong recommendation.

I rather like this place. Its got a kind atmosphere, and it uses its slender design to its benefit,…read moreso that the bar runs around half way down, encouraging a semi dystopia sci-fi kind of vibe thats not at all alienating. As is always the case, you're rewarded for drinking ale, which is a little cheaper than lager pints. But whatever you choose, you won't be buying to get trashed. Its not that kind of place... Its good to go for a social, slow drink or two, or for a relaxed chill out. The blend of contemporary styles, from the bar stools and cushioned bench along the wall, to the mirror balls and coloured lights blends very very pleasingly with older details, like wooden panelling, shelves of books and a traditional bar layout. Small things make it feel special too, such as bringing round candles as it starts to get dark... I know its only a minor detail, but it made sitting in Medusa Bar fell special and unique... I like it a lot here... especially seeing as they play albums through from start to finish, instead of chopping and changing the whole time.

The Medusa Bar is another of the Preston Street locales, and as such, is sandwiched between various…read morerestaurants and other bars. Medusa is a step up from most of the other bars in the area, being a bit less low-class than some of the other drinking places in the area, and generally cheaper and more pleasant to relax in. If you've just been for dinner and need a place to sit down afterwards, Medusa is a great alternative to heading too far back into town, especially if the weather's a bit naff. Medusa is hard to define, as it mixes much of the pub atmosphere with more of a wine-bar-chill-out seating arrangement and the like. It generally works very well: the prices are cheap, and the atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. This is a great place to perch on a cushion and let the world spin by; not exactly a rarity in Brighton, but certainly in this area. If you're looking for a good chill-out place in the area, Medusa may be a great place for you to sit: it is just worth remembering that the crowd that like this area will likely make this place less relaxed later into the evening.

Truly Authentic Italian Cuisine…read more Cin Cin in Brighton is a lovely, authentic and cosy place, with wall-to-wall food and wine on display to whet your appetite. We are greeted by David, who is passionate about what Cin Cin is about. He has so much to say about the produce on sale - all shipped in from Italy and also sourced locally too, the wine - Italian of course, and the dishes on their thoughtful menu change often enough to keep things interesting. The food was lovingly presented and beautifully cooked - easily the best Italian cuisine we have experience in Brighton so far!

I'm not…read moresure if there was in fact no jazz playing, or if we'd had a few too many to find the precise room in which this was (the latter being probably more likely), but we missed out on the jazz that evening. Regardless, it was worth a visit. The barman was very friendly, and impressed me hugely when he got us sniffing the various types of dark rum on offer! I stuck with the Sailor Jerry, but there was a good choice, as well as tequila shots for a pound if you're so inclined. I didn't get any of the Mediterranean food on offer in the restaurant but would definitely go back another time - really good service and atmosphere.

Mainly due to the fact that they would consistently get over 20 people together for good times. This was also the first place I tried the shisha or hubbly bubbly to some people. It was quite novel and I haven't seen any other place do this before. Friday and Saturday nightsare definitely the best times to go but I would wonder if we hadn't been in such large numbers whether it would be as much fun. With a huge amount of different drinks on offer it would be a good place to stop in if you were on a pub crawl for sure. However, I couldn't see myself spending all night here.

Having been to a couple of others in the chain I wasn't expecting the experience to be as good as it was but I put my faith in you Yelpers! The decor lent no clue to the fact it is a chain restaurant, it had the feel of a one off with a fairly large yet still cosy floorplan. Service was good, we were given a choice of seating area and our waiter (Maz) was polite and attentive, suggesting accompaniments to actually suit our choices rather than sounding as though he was just trying to up sell on sides. Food was good, again exceeding my expectations from other Brown's outlets. Presentation was thoughtful and rivalled that of much more expensive places I have eaten. All told a good solid 4* experience. Two mains with drinks came in at just under forty quid.

I ordered the veggie breakfast - the toast wasn't toasted & the portobello mushroom, beans and tomato were cold. The poached eggs, however, were lovely.

The staff member dealing with me was really lovely though and tried to make up for it. Overall, a pretty dire standard for what's meant to be an upmarket bistro. Sadly, I won't be be going back.

Three different versions- vintage (made with old bottles produced before recipes changed), classic, and barrel aged. Amazing!! Recommend and would definitely return.

Before I could even get to the window to read the menu on display, the owner (or front of house) comes out and asks "can I help you" with a face that looks shocked by us even coming close to the bar, this whole time not once asking us if we'd like to come in for a drink or a table. We tell him we are just looking at the menu and he proceeds to tell us "it's only a Christmas menu, but can I help you with anything else?" This whole time blocking the entrance, still looking at me with this perplexed face. I've never felt such a hostile welcoming from front of house. The fact I couldn't even get inside without him asking why I'm even at the door In the first place should go to show that this bar does not welcome all. After telling him I probably won't come here again (seeing as I clearly wasn't wanted) he then says "fuck you" to me as I'm walking away. Horrible service that didn't even include anything being served, apart from his "fuck you" remark. Don't go here, it's a danger zone.
