5 years since we first went there and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant has expanded and the decor changed but still very comfortable, modern, great ambience, great service and staff and the food was exceptional. If you can, go.

Dinner.
A former Masterchef Professionals Winner.
This has been on our list for ages, and we finally got the chance on our recent stay in Brighton.
We've had some tasting menus in our time, but this has got to be affordable fine dining, £50 for five courses.
There is a seven course for £75, which we chose and options to add extras.
On arrival, we were shown downstairs to their cocktail bar named INK, after it used to be a tattoo studio.
You are best to pre-book this.
It's a very dark, moody space,well it is totally black with low lighting and a chill vibe.
A couple of cocktails ordered,one being their house
MI DISPIACE, NEGRONI
Tom Cat Blueberry Gin | House Bitter Liqueur | La Fee Absinthe | Grapefruit | Orange Bitters |Greek Yoghurt £14.
Then it's off upstairs to the restaurant with its open kitchen, taking the centre of attraction in the clean modern dining room.
Once seated, we were served a complimentary glass of Nytimber,which was totally unexpected and much appreciated.
Dinner started with a couple of snacks and their bread and butter.
All the dishes that follow are quite simply devine.
The fish course of Halibut was one of the best we've experienced in a long time.
And then there's the Dippy egg.Wow!
We had to have the extra dish of Scallop £18.
Not forgetting the Beef & Celeriac,so sweet and tender.
The finale of two beautiful and tasty desserts.
We just loved everything about this outstanding restaurant. The staff and service were impeccable.
So much so this has got to be our restaurant of the month.
How does it not have a Michelin Star? or at the least a Bib Gourmand.
Get booked in,you will love it.

I brought my chef husband nick (baldchefnick) to etch to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary… the team were all awesome, we loved our table, thank you so much for the unexpected Nyetimber at the beginning. The food & cocktails were awesome! 🤩 I particularly adore the marmite rolls with seaweed butter & rye dippy eggs. I would say nicks favourite was the scallop & shrimp & the lamb. Absolutely brilliant. I think nick will have the best time working with you 😁
