Absolutely first class food and service. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had in Brighton and the menu is very extensive! The staff were all so attentive and available, will 100% be returning!

We found the restaurant easily, however, the photographs of the venue and the food were very misleading to the point where they were almost deceitful. The service staff were very poor communicators and did not understand or appreciate to understand how to serve customers in a professional way. Leaning over you to deliver and take away plates etc. We arrived at the restaurant and were seated in a good place with a view of the sea front. We waited 15 minutes before being asked if we wanted a drink, however, that was Ok as my wife and I were having a conversation. Drinks were ordered and then within 5 minutes we ordered our food. The staff were not personable or welcoming at all, to the point that sometimes I did not think that they understand the hospitality business. I ordered Salmon and salad, which turned out to be a pile of Iceberg lettuce cut and thrown on a plate with some Scottish Salmon on top, garnished with a 1/8th of lemon. My wife ordered scallops for her starter which looked OK but was tasteless. Her main course was Scampi and chips accompanied by a plastic bottle containing red sauce and vinegar. Plastic bottles you would expect to see in a cheap burger van! Tasteless and unappealing food. I ordered Scallops and asked what were they served with, the answer was just Scallops, therefore, I wrongly ordered a salad. Again it was a bunch of Iceberg lettuce, a couple of salad tomatoes, some peppers and a little bunch of salad leaves. The Scallops were grossly over cooked and looked like they had been sat on the service counter far too long, burnt and chewy. When we were finished, with two plates full of uneaten food, the server came and bluntly said - "you finished?" Yes, we responded. We than waited for 15 - 20 minutes, with no person asking if we wanted a desert. Finally, totally disgusted at the quality of service we asked for the bill. Even when I questioned why they had the mordacity to add a service charge, the waitress did not understand that when she eventually asked (only person all evening) how it was after 2 hours, I said that it was disgusting, lacking any taste and over cooked, she just shrugged her shoulders and walked away. All in all, I had multiple choices to celebrate my wife's birthday and found what on reflection was the biggest disappointment and over sold location I have ever visited. This is not sour grapes, just a calibrated reflection on one of the worst restaurants I have ever visited. If you do post this, my advice to anyone is - avoid this place. WE have also mailed the restaurant asking for the manager's mail / contact details - let's wait and see if he / she is professional enough to respond. Finally, "The Fork" if you decide not to post this, please be so kind to advise why. a

Another visit with family. We had the Mediterranean shellfish, the mixed grilled fish and seam bream and enjoyed them all.

We just had a midday cocktail but the Shakshuka Bloody Mary was very original. It's a very sweet, bright spacious place with a beautiful seaside view and decorated with indoor plants and the conceptual blend of Israeli & Arabic foods and decor was a treat. Would love to go back and try the food

I booked this restaurant because it was busy and people were queing to get in, we were early so sat having a drink we must have been asked 4 times if we were ready to order, then we went inside and we were asked again at least twice. The food was ok but we just felt as if we were rushed in and out as quick as they could to get the next ones in so we would not go again

Dozen oysters advertised at £12, price on site was in fact £36. (Unpeeled) avocado with (frozen) shrimps to be avoided. Compared to what was expected from the reviews: disappointing experience
