Food quality good but overpriced for lunch, rations small. Restaurant was cold, heating inadequate for a cold day. Service good but only one other group of four diners present.

Amazing service and atmosphere. Interesting and varied menu that was really good value too. Would definitely visit again - I ordered too much though - six dishes between two was a bit much for me!

I am glad I booked as it was quite busy when we arrived. We had a choice of tables and chose the one nearest the radiator. I like being warm! The service was great and the food was delicious.

The food was ok... not great. But when we got there 2 tapas were over and the vodka for the Bloody Maria was also finished so only one of four people were able to order the drink.

Beautiful food and lovely people; the loos were lovely too! Nice relaxed atmosphere and an unexpectedly tasty Spanish non-alcoholic beer. The seafood and blackened cod were particularly super.

Had a very pleasant evening here. Good atmosphere and tasty food, well presented. We especially enjoyed the vegetarian options such as the spinach croquettes - yum. It was a shame we had to wait such a long time for the scallops to arrive - much later than the other dishes. However we will return next time for lunch.

Great Restaurant in centre of town, serving delicious modern Tapas! We shared 6 dishes and all were absolutely amazing ...they looked fabulous and all great in flavour! Only one minor criticism the lighting was a little too bright for us, it could have been dimmer for a little more intimate ambience But I certainly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this great place!

Great atmosphere, cosy, friendly. Fantastic, well priced tasty food and very generous portion for tapas. It was busy on New Years Eve but the staff were very efficient and did everything to make sure we had a great time. All finished off with one of the best espressos we’ve had in Brighton.

Just ‘Yum’ - everything about this place is pure class. Service is spot-on-attentive and knowledgeable but not over the top. Great to see the food being prepared and portions so much bigger than many taps restaurants - which makes sharing is a pleasure rather than a chore! Great Vegetarian choices too.

Lovely atmosphere and terrific staff but Christmas Eve food totally missed the target. An over abundance of chilli and 11 tiny mussels for £7 is very tight.

The food tasted good, but very small portions for the price and food was luke warm. We were seated by the door and every time someone came in we were hit by gusts of wind , we were so cold we had to keep our coats on. Not the relaxed leisurely meal we had hoped for , in and out within 45 minutes.

Ambience and decor is great, service was good also and food was mixed, some dishes were great and lived up to my expectations however some were a bit disappointing and between our table we did eat 95% of the dishes. Didn’t feel much of the Asian influence through majority of the dishes which was what really appealed to me.

First of all of all I would eat there again but I did think it was expensive. Dishes could have been warmer the pulpo dish was odd some elements undercooked and cold. Best dish was sticky ribs quite a spicy kick! Lovely staff. Good clean bathroom. Just need to sort that front door.

wonderful new restaurant. Front of house know how to welcome and make you feel comfortable. Decor funky, loved the stools and chairs. Food was great and the express lunch was great value for money. Was a birthday treat for my wife so ultimately it was down to her to enjoy and she loved it. Top job!

We decided to sit at the bar area as this would extend our dining time. The waiting staff were very welcoming and friendly and the service was well paced. The added advantage of sittting at the bar means that you can see the food being prepared and presented before service which was fantastic. The passion the staff have is evident and definitely comes across in the food and wine choices. The food was outstanding and I can’t recommend this wonderful restaurant enough! We most certainly will be back!
