What an excellent concept and what’s there not to like. Being by the sea, alfresco dining on a warm summers day, drinks flowing and a selection of various cuisines! Nice and easy to order, via the QR code on the table. Probably ordered way too much, but gave it a good go. My favourite was the Seabass ceviche

Was able to get a gorgeous balcony seat without booking on a bank holiday Saturday! Staff were incredibly welcoming. Service was so quick it was surprising! The sheer range of cuisines available means everyone can get something they like. Staff member Jaleh was exceptionally welcoming and helpful! It was my first time there and she explained everything clearly and enthusiastically!

This was my first visit here (I had only had a brief look around on a few days earlier) and it was great. You can order very easily from the different kitchens using a QR code from your table and enjoy the sea views and music. My food from temaki (Japanese kitchen) was delicious and presented beautifully. Good prices for the quality. Lovely friendly staff.

My favourite place to go for lunch in Brighton, we always go as a group and it just has so many options for whatever anyone is desiring. There are fun drink options and it’s right on the beach so you can get great views. It’s a QR ordering system so you can see everything on your phone. I recommend booking especially for groups. I’ve added some pictures from visiting over the years
