Beach View in Brighton and Hove

Fui a la playa a cenar con mi familia después de un largo día caminando por Brighton. Estábamos cansados y era un poco tarde. Además, mis padres son 'exigente amantes', así que no estaba ni siquiera comida asiática una opción. No había muchos lugares abierto en ese momento, así que nos fuimos todos a Brighton para encontrar un lugar donde cenar. Finalmente, terminamos en este restaurante. Debo decir que no es muy buena desde el exterior, pero que sirve tapas españolas y queríamos probar ellos (somos españoles).

Fuimos en una oferta conjunta de cumpleaños y tenía una buena selección de tapas en este restaurante griego. Una camarera amable pero estaba muy concurrido los domingos. Una buena oportunidad de probar platos diferentes en las sabrosas salsas. Mi consejo sería que se pegan a la cocina griega.

Fuimos allí en un viento húmedo lunes por la noche, para un Groupon oferta. 10 Tapas y sangría. Ofrecía una buena selección todo muy sabroso y servido por propietario útil. Los otros comensales estaban en una oferta similar. La buena comida y bebida sería mejor en el verano, cuando sería probablemente más concurrido.

Terrible. El personal es muy agradable, muy buen dueño pero se notaba que luchaban para entregar. En realidad no me podía comer mi asado y eso es decir algo, ya que no soy esa exigente. La compré en una oferta de Groupon y no estaba ni siquiera merece la pena. Compramos una botella de Chablis a aliviar algunas cosas, pero cuando fui a pagar me dijeron que no había ninguna máquina de tarjeta y tuve que ir al otro lado de la carretera a la máquina de efectivo que 2 libras de cargo por retirada! Cuando mi amigo fuimos a el retrete había una cama doble en la parte de atrás que pensamos que dormir! Todo un poco extraño ...

Really enjoyed some lovely tapas on a great value Groupon deal. Could not fault the food or the service on a quiet Wednesday and even the house wine was very drinkable! Decor could do with a lick of paint but that's a very minor quibble.

Disfrutamos de un domingo asado con mi marido con un vale de Groupon. El personal era muy amable y acogedor. El restaurante era bastante concurrida pero el servicio fue rápido. La cena con asado se sirve en platos calientes y buenas raciones. Nos ofrecieron el menú dulce, todo era sólo £3 porque teníamos un Groupon, elegimos el baklava y pastel de manzana, tanto casera y deliciosa.Las vistas eran preciosas.

El ambiente era encantadora en este pequeño, lo que parecía casi restaurante familiar en un lado del hotel. En cuanto a la ubicación, está justo en el paseo marítimo, que es genial y en la noche teníamos velas y música y nos sentimos como si estuviéramos en vacaciones!

this place is attached to the west beach hotel but is not exclusively for guests great views of the stick of rock in the sky but very pricey

Visité Brighton por mi cumpleaños con mi marido y cuatro amigos. Elegimos el Beachview restaurante para el almuerzo porque te lleva tarjeta de sabor y también porque me encanta la comida griega. Fue un día con viento en Brighton, y sólo había otras dos personas en el restaurante cuando llegamos, así que estaba un poco preocupado por el hecho de que yo me hubiera decepcionado. Sin embargo, tan pronto como los entrantes de tapas llegaron mis miedos desaparecieron. Las raciones eran muy abundantes y la comida era excelente. El calamar fue muy bien cocinados, suaves y no en absoluto duro. Los platos principales fueron también excelente. El personal era muy amable y hizo un gran esfuerzo para que me ayude a celebrar mi cumpleaños, incluyendo baklava con velas y Amaretto gratuito o Sambuca.

Teníamos una groupon para domingo asado en la vista de la playa. Por desgracia, no nos dejó con ganas de volver. El asado se sirve en un plato frío y una pequeña porción tamaño. Las verduras eran duras, las patatas no podría ser llamado asado, poner en un horno de veinte minutos, en general, muy mala. El servicio de atención al cliente también era pobre, con otros que sirve que llegó después de nosotros. La gente sentada al lado de nosotros estábamos diciendo lo mismo y nos decepcionó. Si tiene clientes con un groupon, seguramente quiere impresionar a ellos para conseguir su costumbre de regreso? Por desgracia muchos lugares ya no parece como que ...

We were out to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, using the Groupon deal for 10 tapas dishes for £20 with a glass of sangria. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, bringing our drinks and food promptly. The food itself was great. Whilst we didn't get to choose the dishes, we got a wide selection of tapas - all really well cooked. The garlic sauce with the prawns was particularly tasty. Can't fault any of it. All in all, a fantastic experience! We are already planning to use the same Groupon deal again.

I was given a groupon vouher from family to be a treat for my wife and I for sangria and tapas for two ten tapas dishes to the value of £55. Wow I love tapas. We arrived at the Beachview had a little difficulty finding the entrance the place was empty as we looked through the window. Tables were bare except for a paper napkin wrapped around the cutlery and a grubby salt and pepper pot. We found the entrance in preston street and entered the empty place a man was on his laptop and we told him we had a groupon reservation. The debit card machine was not working and there were signs saying cash only. We led to a table in the empty restaurant at 7.30 and sat down the man did not offer to take coats etc and put them on chairs. No menu was offered he mumbled the tapas are set you will get them soon and came back with two small glasses of a purple liquid with miniscule bits of apple floating on top sangria he said and plonked them on the table. Which was still bare no table cloth just bare grubby wood. No offer of water or if we wanted wine or beer.The tapas arrived Dish 1 four slices of a small french stick with the smallest pot of aioli i have seen.Dish 2 six prawns with tails that were obviously frozen and cooked to death that were chewy and tough floating in grease with a raw bits of garlic in it.Dish 3 some chopped mushrooms floating in a oily mess with raw garlic.Dish 4 russian salad which was bought in resembled congealed vomit.Dish 5 deep fried calimari which was inedible chewy vileDish 6 chunks of tough chicken which had been cooked a couple of times with the same oily gloop.Dish 7 the tortilla vile it was inedible looked like it had been cooked a couple of days before and reheated a few times rubbery foul.Dish 7 Potatas brava the potatoes had been cooked at least a few times before we had them they were black spongy yuk covered with a gloop of oil and chilli .Dish 8 chorizo cooked in wine no sign of wine just chorizos in gloop but the chorizos were edible Dish 10meatballs in wine a tomato sauce three large meatballs in gloop for two i tried one it was bland awful no flavour mushy yuk.Service was non existant not welcoming tables bare wood grubby .PLEASE FELLOW TRIP READERS DONT EAT THERE IF YOU HAVE A GROUPON GET A CREDIT BEFORE USING IT.

We went along on a Groupon for 4 people on a Wednesday evening. 20 various tapas were served, all the dishes were great, served promptly and piping hot. The staff were attentive and welcoming. We have another voucher to go back. I highly recommend for decent tasty meal in simple surroundings with a nice view.

Staff friendly, Sunday Groupon meal, the nut roast portion was huge, came without gravy but it was supplied when I asked. Problem was meal was hardly warm. When we ordered tea/coffee the small milk jug was really grotty looking inside, all stained, brought it to the attention of the manager who said 'it is not dirty it is stained' It should have been cleaned better than it was. also I am disabled and could not access the toilet which was down about 15 steep stairs. I asked if they had a disabled toilet or one on the level of the dining room and they said no. This is certainly not good and will stop us visiting again.

Went here on Saturday night with a group for a friend's birthday. The restaurant doesn't look amazing from the outside but inside it was lovely and so were the staff. The food was amazing! I had the pork gyros for main. I was worried it may be a bit dry as pork can be, but it wasn't at all. Even the chips were some of the best I've ever had! Everyone said their food was delicious and the manager was very friendly. I'll definitely be going back.

We had a groupon deal for the Sea front that consisted of 10 Tapas and a glass of Sangria. It was cooked at a nice pace, well presented and we were never rushed.The staff there were amazing also,and attentive especially toward our son. They were so friendly we spent a long time in the restaurant which deserves to be full to the rafters with people enjoying tradition food in an atmosphere which encourages slow eating, conversation and relaxation.

Great location lovely staff great food. We chose first 4 off tapas menu for lunch. Bereft. Best meatballs and calamari ever!

We bought a groupon which gave us 10 tapas dishes and a glass of sangria each for £20. There is no choice which dishes are chosen but a good range of food comes out, all of which were nice. We did feel the dishes came out very quickly though which rushed the evening slightly.The staff were friendly and it was a pleasant evening. Good value for £20!

We had a lovely meal here with friends, service was fast, food was very nice and atmosphere was calming

Stumbled across this restaurant and have to say it's amazing. Great food, great wine, great services. Went here for my birthday meal early this year. Have to admit we was looking for a different restaurant we found on trip advisor and we was walking for ages. Walked past this one but decided to keep on going to find the one we was initially looking for but after seeing what it looked like from outside the front and as some of the staff was outside the front, smoking we decided not to even bother so we walked back and came here. The food was really nice, we went for the tapas type dishes and just went crazy. I started with a single glass of wine but after tasting that (having let it breath) for a few sips I decided to order the bottle! Which is awesome as it comes in a metal jug.. Carafe. Great for the wine to breath as it's obviously more open to the air then through the bottle. Now I'm not one of those people that pretends to know anything about red wines but I know what I like. Also the people that tend to stick their nose in it and take it in with air are just pretentious, seen as red wine changes the longer it's breathing.. But that's not the point. Anyway the food was very nice, eating mussels and calamari with a view of the beach is always a nice touch. The waitress was very accommodating and friendly. As we really couldn't decide on what to eat she Dr some missions just to find out our order so credit to her. Towards the end of the evening the resturabt became a lot more bussier and we definitely stayed our welcome and then some but at no point was we made to feel that we had to go or awkward in anyway which is nice seen as a lot of restaurants make you feel this way so it was a nice change of pace. I've not got anything bad to say about this restaurant which is a surprise because normally no matter how good something is, there normally is one thing BUT that's not the case here. If I return to Brighton then you can be sure I'll be coming back and ordering another carafe!

We went on a Living Social voucher. The tapas is nothing like the photo. You do not get a choice of tapas , the first five dishes were half full and not what I would have chosen I asked for some more bread yes we did have. The next dish arrived chicken rice dish two small pieces of chicken the size of your fingernail, two mussels shells only one had a mussel in . The potatoes were the biggest dish which followed covered in a chilli ketchup awful then a chick in in garlic small amount of very small pieces, in all not a good meal .Your bread counted as your tenth dish . A very disappointing meal.

The building looks a bit shabby from the outside, but the staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming. We had pre booked a tapas offer from Living Social and where as the pictures of the offer showed an awful lot more food that what was actually delivered, we still had enough to feel pleasantly full. I think I would have been a little disappointed if I had paid the full price of £55, but for £20, there were zero complaints. The attentive staff made this a very good experience :-)

We drove quite a distance to visit this restaurant for lunch. On arrival, there was a handwritten note stuck in the window saying "closed Tuesdays for staff day off!"On both their own website, & on Tripadvisor, it advertises it is open Sun-Sat, & advertises a set menu Mon-Thurs. It is a shame that they haven't the courtesy to put it on their website. They don't deserve to get business. We won't be returning

What I loved about this place is its simplicity all the while providing quick and friendly service and quite incredible food. It is a Spanish family run restaurant overlooking Brighton's West Pier and we was in and out of the place in 55 minutes whilst consuming 10 separate dished and 2 lagers. I wasn't rushed, they timed the food to perfection and the quality of the garlic mushrooms, the chilli prawns, the chicken, the chilli potato and the potato salad meant I had to share the experience with trip advisor.Certainly a place that was welcoming to my young family, I urge you all to pop in and enjoy the food and the Spanish music.Thank you so much.

Visited today for lunch on a Groupon deal, looks a bit shabby from the outside but the food and staff were fantastic! Can't wait for our next visit!!

We had a groupon offer so had pre-booked. It was empty when we arrived so sat in the window overlooking the sea front . Our offer was for sangria and 10 tapas. They swapped the sangria for a beer with no hesitation. The tapas were then brought out when cooked. There wasn't a choice and i think it would be best to ask if there is anything that one wouldn't eat...as we were given calamari which neither of us eat ( they graciously offered to provide something else which we declined) but it just seemed a waste. Portions were good and the food was delicious and its always good to have a seat to people watch in Brighton.

We held a number of meetings here over Conference season and the staff and food were absolutely wonderful!

We arrive a little early on a really wet and miserable day. We were warmly welcomed and seen to straight away.We were using a pre payed voucher for a Tapas lunch. The food was excellent and more than enough to eat. The service was very good and friendly. We will return to try the Meze menu!

We had eaten here a few years back, when it was a Greek restaurant called Greco, and had had an excellent meal, so we were a bit concerned whether the change of style would affect the quality.It hadn't, but the overall impression was that it wasn't sure whether it was trying to attract diners for a traditional three course meal, or to share a number of smaller dishes. We were of the former ilk and so were a bit disappointed at the limited number of desserts, with the dessert menu also being lacking on the restaurant's web site.Nevertheless, we chose two dishes to share from the tapas / mezes menu, and followed that with a vegetarian moussaka each. We did have desserts! Ice cream. The food was very tasty and was washed down with some of the house red. We were there on a Thursday evening and, despite its excellent location, it was fairly quiet. However, the entrance (on Preston St.) is not obvious and is a bit unusual as it seems to be shared with the hostel next door. And the toilets seem almost a taxi ride away!But we had an enjoyable meal and evening and, on a future visit to Brighton, would happily return (and hope that it hasn't changed its name again!).

The tapas was good and the service also, the restaurant is tatty and was completely empty when we arrived, the ladies toilets were not good and I think that is important to have it is part of the overall experience!!!!

I bought a Groupon voucher after reading the positive comments on Trip advisor. My husband rang to book a table a few days later for Saturday 5 th September. He spoke to the manager who told us the restaurant was fully booked that day- we were very flexible on time and could have gone between 12.30 pm and 5.30 pm. Despite this it was a firm NO! This was disappointing as we live 90 minutes away by car and wouldn't be visiting again until after the deal expired. We decided to chance it on the day hoping someone may have cancelled. We turned up at 2.30 pm and asked for a table and were graciously shown to one. There were two other tables of two and the diners were just finishing their meals. As soon as we were seated we produced the Groupon voucher. Everything changed. We were told they couldn't accommodate Groupon bookings that day as the food has to be cooked from scratch and as there were ten dishes the kitchen couldn't cope. The other diners left at this point leaving just myself and my husband in the entire restaurant. We were then asked why we hadn't booked and I told them that we tried to but they said they were too busy for more bookings ( what a joke!) eventually charm and patience won the day and they agreed we could stay. We were told the food would take a very long time to cook so we'd have to be patient. Ten minutes later the first five tapas arrived followed a few minutes later by the rest. The staff were charming, the food delicious and hot but I was left feeling uncomfortable by the experience. Very strange!

I bought a Groupon deal for the tapas meal for my birthday and 6 of us went. We had 30 dishes and a glass of sangria. The food was excellent and so much and the sangria really nice- we also had white wine which was very good. The view is great as we sat at the front of the restaurant area at my request. It is right opposite the sea and the old pier and the new construction i360 going on. The staff were really lovely and helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable night. It is a hotel and not a Spanish restaurant. The decor is basic and clean. The background music created a calm environment..

I saw this place on groupon and thought that ten tapas and sangria for £19.95 was a great deal, and had never heard of the restaurant however I love trying new places! I came with my boyfriend who hasn't had tapas that much but I love it and have tried lots of places in brighton!We arrived at 8 and were the only people there for the first 5 minutes, but it quickly filled up after we arrived! We were served the tapas in 2 stages, which I think my boyfriend likes but I prefer to have it all in one go, but I wasn't that bothered by it. The food was mainly very very good! I think there were only 1/2 dishes that I didn't like as much but they were still nice! Loved the prawns and the garlic sauce was amazing, and calamari, chorizo, meatballs and this tuna potato salad thing we're all rally really nice! The chicken was a little dry and over cooked but the sauce it came in was lovely, although I was getting very full up by that point! There was plenty of food for two and it was all very nice! We were not pushed to but any more drinks, and had tap water along with our sangria, which was very nice too! I also looked at the menu separately online and a lot of the dishes looked good as well, and I would definitely go back to try some! We both liked the restaurant itself. It's still seems new and maybe not as well done up as other places but has a homely feel and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I think they are doing the right thing getting people to visit with these very good groupon deals and showing people what a nice place it is. This is not a place I would have found outside of groupon but highly recommend!

We went here with a Groupon deal that was a gift and we were so impressed with the quality of the food. It was really fresh, tasty and we were served in stages not all at once! There were lots of dishes all accompanied by a wonderful glass of Sangria. The staff were really friendly and the owner even came over to see how we were enjoying our evening.

We came last Friday to enjoy an offer we got on Groupon (10 tapas + glass of sangria each), we couldn't finish it. Was very good variaty of delicious tapas. Also the staff were attentive and friendly. Also it was a pleassure to dine overlooking the sea.

Fantastic tapas (apart from the calamari - it was quite rubbery), but everything else was lovely.Great service and a fab view of the beach. We are returning soon!

We bought an offer on Groupon and my husband and son took my parents.Really lovely location - was threatening to rain when we arrived, then throughout the meal the sun came out more - we had a front window table.The 20 dishes we had were really lovely - ranging calamari, prawns, meatballs, Spanish omelette - each dish was amazing! My 15 month old son enjoyed it too!The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed.We were recommended on going there and I would definitely recommend it too!

Visited last night with boyfriend taking advantage of a groupon deal. Very warm and friendly staff, who couldn't do enough for you. The ten tapas set menu we shared was varied and very well prepared including mussels, calamari, meatballs and prawns to die for! There was no pressure or even mention of selling us additional drinks (one sangria each was included) and we didn't even see a menu until we left and I asked if I could have a look because we wanted to return another time. Very relaxing evening, full tummies and a reasonably full wallet too! Thank you Beach View.

We went as a group of friends on a groupon deal, so weirdly didn't even get sight of the menu! Wasn't a problem though as the voucher gave us 20 dishes for 4 people and this was absolutely loads. Would have fed 1 if not 2 more! The dishes we had though were lovely. I would recommend both the prawns and the mushrooms. Meatballs were lovely and soft, but the chicken was a bit dry. Great calamari too!

We went there this evening on a Groupon deal (£20 for 10 tapas and a glass of sangria each). We thought "too good to be true" but we were so wrong !! We were served traditional tapas (albondigas, patatas bravas, prawns in garlic , chorizo and garlic etc..) in generous portions . We had the perfect view of the half constructed i360 and the seafront. Very attentive service. Excellent evening. Would fully recommend it to all you tapas lovers.

Great value, really good authentic tapas - go hungry, there was an enormous amount of food (20 tapas for 4 people) Restaurant is not beautiful but it's a great location if you have a window seat. The loos are immaculate.

Best home cooked Greek and Spanish food have had in a long time. Mix of modern and traditional. Absolutely love this place. Great service can't fault it. From London and wish this place was in my area. Don't miss this place for Tapas and Meze.

Amazing food, very friendly waiters and managers. Chef is out of this world. Great local produce all fresh and amazing view of the sea. Best place in Brighton 10 out of 10! :)

I took a friend for a meze lunch with a Pimms deal. The food was excellen, plenty for twot and the drink was refreshing. We ordered a glass of house wine, which the proprietor recommended and that was excellent, along with a white wine spritzer.

My boyfriend and I went with a Groupon deal, 10 tapas dishes and a glass of sangria each for £20 which on paper looked great. We instantly regretted it! The restaurant was empty even though it was a Friday night, there were 2 other tables eating. There was a band playing 'live karaoke' extremely loudly, even though nobody was singing, and then at the same time there was loud pre-recorded spanish music playing from the speakers! It was honestly so loud I couldn't hear my boyfriend talking from across the table. We asked if we could mvoe to somewhere quieter to eat (there is a downstairs seating area) but were told that there was a death metal band there for a private party!!The service was terrible, the waitress was moody and seemed annoyed with us from the start. Our dishes were brought out almost immediately which was suspicious, it was a set menu with the deal so I imagine they had them all pre-cooked. The waitress actually dropped the dishes onto the table from a height. With one of them she said 'I think this is sausage... no, is prawns'. The food was dry, rubbery and reheated, it was the worst dining experience either of us has ever had but we just had to laugh, it was like dining at Faulty Towers!Even though it was only £20 with the Groupon, it was still a waste of an evening and we couldn't even enjoy each other's company with the banging music! There are so many lovely places to eat in Brighton, avoid this at all costs.

When a restaurant is empty and all others are full, the writing is on the wall. Nice friendly barman, but the restaurant itself was tired and worn, large bottles of coke used as mixers = flat, I did ask for a small haddock and chips and they took me at my word but charged the same price as my husband's which was almost twice as big. It was £8.50 for my small portion of haddock, about a dozen chips one cherry tomato and some leaves . No tartar sauce but we were given a little pot of mayo. We were told it was fresh and locally caught, my husband is an expert on fresh fish and said he doubted very much that it was, he said his San Miguel was nice. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Went there Friday night , used taste card which was 2 for 1 . Food was good couldn't fault it , The service wasn't great had to ask for sauce about three times also asked for pitta bread it never came. The staff were nice but not great on service ,Would return again tho

Really home made and fresh tapas and Greek mezes, great views to the sea and the i360, also the service was excellent, worth a visit

What ever you do, don't let the exterior of this place put you off. We must have walked passed this place a thousand times and not noticed it. Only by chance today, we were en route for somewhere else that looked full as we got closer, when we found ourselves outside the Beach VIew and as it was raining, decided to go in.Seriously good food. The best squid I've ever eaten and all the dishes we tried tasted freshly cooked and delicious. Lovely combination of tastes both Greek and Spanish. Welcoming host who made us all feel very welcome. Excellent ambiance with good music and attentive staff.Lovely views over the sea - just a really nice place we will visit again as we're frequent visitors to Brighton. It's a shame the place from the outside doesn't look more inviting, it has a bit of a boarded up feel to it, but once inside its a real gem. Can't wait to return.

We went to this restaurant last weekend and we all enjoyed the food. I had seabass which was great. The restaurant looks out over the sea and it was great place to be on summer evening. The staff gave excellent service. I definitely would go again

My Swedish partner and I took our mothers here for dinner on a nice June evening and had a fantastic tapas and mezze selection. They have very good weekday deals (4 tapas/meze for around £15-£19 pound or 2pint jug and 3 tapas for £17 I think) but we ordered a selection and used the 25% gourmet society discount instead (I get a card through my bank). The foods really good, you can tell it's very freshly made (not pre made and reheated) and has a great homemade flavour. The owner was really friendly and welcoming and looked after us well. Lovely view over the crumbling west pier and sea (there's a road in between, but that's Brighton see front for you). Definitely be returning. 4 full to bursting on tapas/meze dishes and 4pints an 2 soft drinks for £55ish (with a 25% discount but even without the card use the offers in house and you wouldn't have paid much more). Highly recommended.

The SERVICE IS DREADFUL! Me and my partner had lunch in this place few months ago (at the time I didn't have a tripadvisor account), we've got tricked by nice reviews on the Tastecard website, so we decided to go try the Greek food of this restaurant, instead of our USUAL AMAZING SUPER TASTEFUL RESTAURANT NEARBY.When we arrived we were barely greeted by a Waitress which seemed very much in a hurry and annoyed, she led us through the entrance, where someone had just cleaned the floor, so it was wet, I have noticed when I was about to slip ... and there was no sign of 'cleaning in progress'.Once we sat, the waitress gave us some sticky menu (which counts FEW Greek specialities), then she kept coming to take our order, although we said more than once: 'we are not ready to order' , so exasperate we finally ordered.At the nearby table table there were some Spanish / South American which were really enjoying the LOUD LATIN / SPANISH VERY LOUD MUSIC (in a Greek Restaurant I was expecting to listen Greek music, or at least Brit since we are in England).We soon understood that the table nearby were relatives of the waitress (who was a Spanish speaker) in fact she kept going back and forth from that table all the times. The waitress also had LOOSE HAIR, Totally Not Hygenic!As a starter I had a saganaki with was DEFENETLY NOT FRASHELY MADE.The octopus was too soft, the 'fresh' orange juice WASN'T FRESH.ONCE WE FINISHED THE STARTERS WE PLACED OUR CUTLERY ON THE DISH IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE REMOVED ... The 'WAITRESS' TOLD US (in a peremptory tone) TO REMOVE THE CUTLERY FROM THE PLATE AND TO KEEP IT TO EAT OUR MAIN COURSE!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY?????!????!?Later my Greek salad came SERVED ON A HOT PLATE.My partner just told me : 'let s finish and go away!'Due to the Tastecard deal we had and the waitress forgetting to charge the orange juice, I have to say that at least the bill was quite cheap.We didn't mind that the food wasn't great but edible (it happens), it was the service which literally left us shocked!I am an ex Food & Beverage Supervisor and my Partner is an ex CHEF... We were literally APPALLED by the whole dining experience.

My husband and I had a wonderful two course Sunday lunch here. There is indeed a beach view if you sit in the conservatory part of the restaurant, which we did on a previous visit, this time we sat in the main part of the restaurant. We both had lamb and the meal was delicious. The vegetables, which were clearly fresh, not frozen, were cooked to perfection. The lamb, of which there was an abundance, was excellent with no fat at all. I had apple pie and ice cream for dessert, my husband had his with cream. The pie was definitely not shop bought. The service was faultless, this being a friendly family run restaurant. I enjoy a glass of wine with my meal but my husband drinks little, so we had a half bottle carafe, which was ideal and not always available in restaurants. Incidentally there was no service charge. If you want a good old English roast dinner in the middle of Brighton, we would definitely recommend this place.

Went for Sunday roast and desert with a friend. The portions for the Sunday roast were rather small and the quality was poorer than all the other roasts I have had in Brighton. It wasn't very hot either. The chocolate cake I had for desert hadn't finished defrosting before I was served it. We couldn't get our first choices for either roast or desert. Although the staff were friendly, they didn't tell us options had sold out before we made our order. It was overall disappointing

We visited in December on a Groupon deal, amazing food and service. I would happily pay full price and return

This was our second visit to this restaurant. On our first visit, everything was brilliant and we decided to go back but this time the service was poor, my daughter was sick and my huband's food was smelly and awful! And as for the owner's response, he did not take any responsibility for it. Hope he takes our comments on board and do something about it. What a shame!

We also had a Groupon voucher and although was at first was taken aback that we had set menu, because my friend and I are fussy and her a vegetarian they kindly offered us choice to which we had mixture of meze and tapas. The food and the service was lovely. When the food first came out I thought there wouldn't be enough, it was actually plentiful that we sadly left some. There may well be better places to eat, but we enjoyed and would actually return again.

As others we had a Groupon deal - no choice of menu which wasn't clear, mushrooms and prawns were good, bread was fine, but wouldn't choose any of the others again. Patatas bravas were hard, some random potato salad with tuna in, and a very strained atmosphere. Lots of other restaurants to choose from including Santiago right on the seafront which would be a much better choice.

We had a Groupon tapas offer and I can only assume we got the dregs of the tapas because of this.We had 10 dishes and that was 9 too many (the bread was ok). All of the food was bland and cold. The first dish was a mash up of cold potatoes, tuna and egg in mayonnaise....it looked like something a cat would eat....it really was horrible. Sadly things only got worse. We had chorizo which was cold and oily as were the prawns. The chicken dish was quite frightening and the garlic mushrooms were cold and had certainly never seen any garlic. I have erased the others from memory to be honest.Luckily, we managed to see the funny side and joked about where we could hide the food rather that upsetting the lovely owner who was so proud of every dish he brought to the table. We just told him there was far too much for us to eat instead!!!On a positive note the staff were lovely and the view was amazing. Such a shame......

We went there Saturday night on a Groupon offer which was excellent value for money. The welcome was friendly, our table at the front of the restaurant had a lovely beach view. The food was good to perfection by the owners wife (reliably informed). There was a wide choice, all explained on arrival to our table, tasty, fresh and beautifully presented. The Sangria was superb too.well worth a vist, we will definitely be back!! Made my birthday eve. Thank you

What a brilliant restaurant. Genuine and friendly service. Amazing Tapas dishes taken from the menu and not cheaper dishes. We had a fantastic meal. The Prawns were amazing! Highly recommend. This is the second time we have visited the restaurant and we were not disappointed. Go along and try from and extensive menu.

Four of us had a tapas lunch @ £10 per head with a glass of sangria on a Groupon deal this week, 20 plates in all. It turned out to be too much food for lunch and had we known we should have ordered for two people instead of four as such a lot of food was wasted. Some of the dishes were better than others. The chicken was a little dry and the chorizo very strong smoked flavour. The prawns in garlic were lovely also the mushrooms. Still a bargain at the price.This restaurant is in a very good sea front position and it was very pleasant sitting watching the world go by, especially as it happened to be the Brighton Marathon which we hadn't realised before deciding to have a couple of days stay in Brighton.

I booked a tapas and sangria meal for two via Groupon at a bargain £19.95 and wasn't expecting the amazing experience we had.The restaurant faces out towards the beach but the main entrance is on the side and from the outside one doesn't appreciate how friendly the staff are, how lovely the atmosphere is and most importantly how excellent the food is.Thankfully we went for the 10 tapas and not the 20 tapas, as there was so much food served we simply couldn't eat it all. There was chicken, chorizo, meatballs, calamares, garlic prawns, mushrooms, patatas bravas, croquettes, salad and bread, and sangria. The quality and quantity was impressive and food was tasty.I would strongly recommend this restaurant and big pat on the back to the staff - worth a visit when in Brighton with or without a voucher.

Visited for the first time on a Groupon promotion. Service was polite and very quick as we had pre-paid for a selection of 10 tapas with a glass of Sangria. Had it not been for the promotion, we were unlikely to have visited this restaurant, however, we were very surprised by how good the tapas dishes were and will definitely be back. Unfortunately we visited on a foggy evening. As the restaurant is right on the sea front, it would be even better on a bright summer evening.

Visiting Brighton? Being on the beach? Try this restaurant, you won't regret it. Good food, cosy environment, nice people willing to please customers. Very good English breakfast, very good Greek food, very tasty pasta, and always a delicious dessert. They also offer good draft beer. Do you need anything else?

Fantastic food... Even better people. Authentic and quintessential Spanish/Greek hospitality. If only my stomach was bigger. Impressed a year ago and impressed upon our return.

We came here with a group on voucher for mothers day, and we were so impressed! We got 20 dishes between us, all of which were absolutely delicious. We coiuldnt believed how nice it was for what we had paid for it, and the sangria was lovely as well. The staff were so friendly, describing each dish as they brought it to the table. Would highly recommend.

This was a warm and friendly place. The staff were fabulous. Then came some gorgeous food and at great value too. I loved the vibe. I will return to see Bill and the team. And enjoy once more. I suggest you go visit if in the area.

We purchased a deal on Groupon to dine here. We had 10 tapas plates and a glass of sangria for £20 for 2 people. We booked via email for a Friday evening. When we arrived we were greeted well and seated straight away, even though we were half an hour early. The restaurant was fairly full and the staff were keen and friendly. Our food was serviced in good time as it was a prebooked deal we had no menu to view and were served our tapas in fair time. As each dish was placed the owner and server explained what each dish was. They both seemed to be very pleased to serve us. All of the food was lovely. Garlic prawns, meatballs, croquettes, creamed potato, paella, garlic chicken, mushroom dish, bread, chorizo in brandy and saucy potato dish. All well presented cooked well and yummie. There was so much for just 2 people to eat. Only suggestion would be to have the creamed potato dish slight warmer as it was very chilled. You could see from the venue that it has been recently refurbished and work is still being carried out in hallway to the toilets as there was a lot of sawdust but this was no where near the restaurant. Many thanks for good service, nice food and what will be a fabulous venue in the summer. Not forgetting a warm farewell by the owner too.

We ate here yesterday and ordered s mixture of tapas and mezes dishes. The garlic mushrooms ,the prawns and meatballs were among the best we have ever had .The Russian salad was also divine and I strongly recommend them . The dishes are simple but the fresh produce and fresh cooking made them delicious .We went early evening on a Wednesday in March and so it was quiet (which suited us ) but if the food is anything to go by it will be very busy in season as it is located opposite the beach with big windows that I think would open out (it was spitting rain when we went so was not able to take advantage of this ) The service was very friendly and efficient.We used our taste card and thought it was very good value for money

Went for the tapas menu a selection of ten. The food was excellent, service was so well timed with the dishes arriving regularly. The atmosphere was laid back and very friendly from the owner.The range of tapas was not all Spanish some Mesa which was nice including a great Russian salad. Finally the location opposite the old West pier and future 360 project was ideal.

Come sempre quando sono a Brighton sono tornata in questo ristorante che non delude mai: fantastica location sul lungomare, cibo delizioso e personale super carino. Mi manca gia’...

We visited Beach View using a Groupon voucher for 10 tapas dishes plus sangria for two people. As soon as we sat down, the food started arriving. There were 10 tapas dishes but most of them seemed to have potato in - presumably they were bulking them out because of the voucher. Most of the food was warm rather than hot and quite disappointing. We weren't convinced that the sangria had alcohol in so we also ordered a bottle of white wine but we weren't even given an ice bucket to keep it cool. The restaurant set-up was strange as well. We think there was some kind of hostel above the restaurant and there were a couple of bars. To get to the toilets, we had to walk through a private party in one of those bars which was quite embarrassing.

We went here on a Groupon voucher but didn't receive the dishes promised on the advert. We were minus prawn dishes and only got 9 dishes although we should have got 10. We didn't realise at the time because they came at different intervals. It wasn't until we had a count up on the way home, we realised we were 1 dish short. The dishes we did have were ok taste wise but most had potatoes to make you feel more full.

We were given a Groupon Voucher for this restaurant so went along with the family to try it out. The location of Beach View is fantastic with wonderful ocean views and looking out towards the West Pier. The exterior of the restaurant needs some attention however the interior is very pleasant and we were situated in the conservatory area overlooking the sea. The staff were friendly and very attentive throughout our meal. We had their lamb roast dinner and it was a good portion however the food was let down by being cold and the food majority being cooked in advance. To finish we had Apple Pie which was average and whoever made the pastry must have extremely heavy hands. The pricing at the restaurant could also do with being reviewed as the drinks were expensive as were the deserts. For the portion size and quality of the Apple Pie its impossible to justify the £5.95 price tag it attracts. Overall we enjoyed the location however the food was average and we'd be in no rush to return.

Myself & my husband have been to this restaurant and had lovely greek food in the past and been very pleased with not only the service, but also the food.The owner greeted me as I came in and seated me, whilst I waited for my husband who was parking the car.This time we came for valentines lunch, a groupon voucher my husband purchased.2 glasses of san gria and 10 tapas dishes.The owner came out and said we will start, no explanation of what we would have tapas dish wise just that there would be 10 dishes.The San Gria was medioka, we started off with bread and tuna potatos dish.then had potatas bravas, chorizio, meatballs and pollo ajilio (chicken in white wine.a few of the dishes were ok. We were very disappointed in the pollo ajilio as this is one of my favourite dishes, now ruined as it came out it was chicken wings chopped up bones and all, in a dish with slices of garlic and some wine.Then came cheese puffs, gambas ajilio (prawns in garlic and chilli).Then we were served a seafood Paella, that was all rice and no seafood. We found 2 small prawns and a small squid ring.The food was not great in places and it was done on a budget, I mean come on who uses chicken wings for a main dish, pollo ajilio is supposed to be chunks of chicken normally breast meat with garlic and white wine.I am sorry to say that we were the only customers in the restaurant and all other restaurants were full.Shame as it looks like it has new owners and has gone down hill.VERY DISAPPOINTED

The pita bread that came with my dinner was cold,tough and like chewing gum.I told the waitress that it was not allright and her reaction was:"do not eat it then " and went on with her work.Far later on the supervisor asked me how I liked the dinner and explained that the pita bread becomes that way when it is cold (??).If so why do you serve it cold then ?He at least offered me new warm pita bread but as the whole meal was disappointing Ithanked him and went away.Prices are too high in relation to the quality of the food.

Had breakfast today on a sunny morning. Met by owner looked after us, and was extremely friendly and welcoming. We used a Groupon voucher, so even better value. Full English, freshly cooked to order, with coffee. Generous helping, good quality ingredients, comfy seating, lovely view out to sea, endless blue skies.Do give the Beach View try, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

We decided to visit the restaurant after getting a voucher from Groupon.Initally I was told he could not accommodate us at lunch time but soon changed his mind.First impression was it was a nice, and reasonably well presented however empty restaurant with a great view.We were given A small glass of sangria as part of a meal. This came with just the ice, no fruit and really not up to restaurant standards.The food started to come in drips and drabs which didn't really work. We didn't get a choice either as to what we wanted.It was clear the produce they are using are cheap, bland and really not what you would expect. A real shame as the view was great.Unfortunately I won't be recommending this to any of my friends

Many people may walk past this restaurant as it looks quite unassuming from the outside. Inside however it's light and airy with fantastic sea views. We shared eight (very generously sized) tapas and mezze dishes between us - all were delicious, the baked feta and grilled prawns in particular. Service was very good, with one gentleman (who I think is the owner) especially welcoming

The food, service, cleanliness of the Restraunt and not to mention the friendliness of the staff was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend this Restraunt and will return on our next trip to Brighton.

Not very hygienic, tables and crockery dirty, waitress in a stained grubby top, will not visit this place again, disappointed as was looking forward to this deal.

We have just had a delicious roast dinner and dessert on a groupon voucher. It was delicious, lovely tender meat and veg, tasty gravy . Service was excellent and the owner really made you welcome. We will definatley go back and will recommend to friends.

We had breakfast here yesterday and I was absolutely appalled. The server was eating his own brekkie when we arrived, atfer being seated we ordered. We were the only people in the whole place. The food came out nearly 20 minutes later - I was given my fry up with a slice of what appeared to be Quiche. (I had ordered with Quorn Sausages) I was told there were no sausages so I had been given (Without being asked) a replacement of Spanish omlette served with another two fried eggs, The beans were cold, and the server did not speak good English so we were left unable to complain. My partner's scrambled eggs tasted quite 'off' and as a result a large amount of both breakfasts were left untouched. We had to go and find the server to pay, we weren't asked how our meals were and he simply gave me the card machine, took the payment and walked off without saying a word. Totally unacceptable for £17

Dopo una lunga passeggiata ci siamo infilati in questo posto di cui non abbiamo capito la nazionalità (c'era cibo di varie parti del mondo). Ci siamo affidati al classico sunday roast (piatto tipico domenicale ) che è arrivato in tempi brevi, ma sulla qualità lasciava un po' a desiderare. Stupenda vista mare e prezzi molto onesti sono le uniche due cose che mi hanno ben impressionato di questo posto.

Like other reviewers we enjoyed the Groupon ten tapas deal. The food was well prepared authentic spanish style dishes with a variety of seafood, chicken, salad...something for everyone. We had to take some home we were so full! It was lovely to look out over the sea (with a road between us and the seafront), listen to pleasant music and just relax. Very friendly, efficient service and reasonably priced drinks (after we had finished the sangria). Obviously lots of refurbishment going on but this had no effect on the restaurant area. Leave plenty of time to just chill!!

just got home from having a meal at Beach view, we went on a groupon Tapas deal, which was 10 tapas dishes and a glass of sangria, Well the food was amazing, very fresh, hot and was bought out in stages so we could enjoy every dish slowly, the service was excellent too, we will defiantlybe returning ,and would highly recommend a vist ,

We came in here on the off chance as the weather was appalling and we ducked in to the restaurant nearest out hotel! We were so glad we did! The food was excellent- really tasty, well presented and very reasonably priced. It is family owned and the service was absolutely superb. We have already decided we will be making a trip back to Brighton just to visit here again- absolute gem of a find and cannot wait to return.

My husband and I have just returned from a delightful Tapas and Sangria meal at the Beach View restaurant on the seafront in Brighton. I bought the Groupon voucher which included 10 Tapas dishes between us and a glass of Sangria each. The restaurant is opposite the West pier and is adjoining a hotel, although they are both separately owned. The restaurant has been completely refurbished by the present owners and is very tastefully done. It is spotlessly clean and has a warm cosy feeling. The split levels makes it cosier still and the front tables have great views of the beach. We visited on a very wet and windy day, so the view was of rolling surf! I was initially very impressed by the warm response on the phone when I called to make the reservation and then when we arrived and greeted by Sophia and shown to our table. There was a varied selection of Tapas which were delicious. The meal was fantastic value. And the 10 dishes arrival was staggered so that they did not get cold and also gave us time to enjoy the individual dishes. We are now looking forward to returning to try their Sunday roast in February! Definitely worth trying. A great location, lovely helpful and friendly staff, delicious food and a varied menu with Spanish Tapas, Greek Mezes, Sunday Roasts, kids menu and other firm favourites. Thank you

My daughter gave my husband and myself a groupon voucher for the Beach View tappas meal.The food was good, a little bit bland, apart from the paella, which was fab. And a jug of Sangia. We had loads of food...too much... but we did our best!The waitress was friendly and great views to the beach.

My girlfriend and I went here the Sunday before xmas for a groupon tapas meal which we paid £19 for including a glass of Sangria each. We each had a varied selection of 10 tapas bowls each which were very good. The restaurant is right on brighton seafront with nice views.

What a lovely little surprise!! We went along for Sunday dinner and received a warm welcome. Choice of lamb, pork, chicken and beef. A good selection of veg and roast potatoes. Followed by home made apple pie and ice cream. Really friendly staff who made you feel like they wanted you there which makes a pleasant change. Will definitely go back and try the other choices on the menu. Fab location and watched a stunning sun set on the beach front from the warmth of the restaurant. What a great way to spend a sunday afternoon!! ThanksQ!

My boyfriend and I came here for a Sunday Roast using a Group On voucher; Roast normally £15 each, we got it for £6!The staff were very friendly and attentative, and the food was brought promptly. The Roast was tasty enough and was a very good sized portion, as was the pudding which was bigger than expected and delicious. Yes it wasn't the best Roast I've ever had but considering how little we paid for it using the voucher I can't complain. The staff were lovely and the view was beautiful; however I agree with the other reviewers, the toilets were not the nicest and definitely need refurbishing. A nice enough restaurant and Sunday Roast, would come back here again to try and the tapas or mezze; would recommend to people for a quick lunch not costing an awful lot. Keep a look out for Group On vouchers for this place, well worth the discount!

Went with the girlfriend on a weeknight. Our table was nicely located looking over the beach, as implied with the name! The (what I assume was) owner greeted us on arrival and was very attentive and friendly throughout. We used a Groupon voucher which included more than enough tapas for two. The waitress was also very friendly, and the quality of the food excellent. The restaurant was surprisingly fairly quiet, but this shouldn't take anything away from the great food, oh and the great sangria!

We went to the Beechview with friends last Saturday. The place was pretty full so we sat in a back room which was better for us to talk. We had a Tapas meal with a jug of Sangria which was part of the deal. The food was very good value and there was so much as the Tapas kept coming. The staff were very welcoming and attentive so all in all a good evening

We needed somewhere to eat as Alfresco across the road which we had booked had no record of our booking and settled on this in desperation as it was close to where we were staying and within walking distance of where we wanted to go afterwards. There isn't a big selection of mains for vegetarians (cold winter's night so salad was out, and I dislike moussaka) so I had to order a couple of small dishes which were fine enough, my partner loved his tuna though and it was quite greek in that it was served luke warm...and as the place is on the sea front the view was lovely. Friendly staff, nice house white wine, good value for money, chillaxed feel but without being lax in terms of service.

Staff are lovely; very friendly and helpful but they were let down ever so slightly by the food which in the main was too salty.We had a mixtute of the Spanish tapas and Greek meze and the chef's heavy handiness with the salt cellar was evident in all the dishes we ordered.If he/she could have toned this down a bit then we would have been looking at at least 4 out of 5 stars

yummy tapas, great value, more than we can eat. Host and owner Ahbill (Bill) was friendly, chatty and helpful. Overall fun and tasty night.

We went for dinner last weekend with a living social deal, which limits the options available but there was still a good selection and the food was delicious. The meze for starter was big enough for a main meal and then the lamb shank I had was perfectly cooked with delicious potatoes and veg. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the manager came to say hello. It's not a high class swanky place but good quantity and quality of food, a good atmosphere and service, definitely recommend a visit

We stumbled across this restaurant whilst walking along the front and were tempted in by the promise of Greek cuisine. We were warmly welcomed and the menu promised a lot, but apart from the hummus it proved a little disappointing. The chicken gyros were overcooked and the moussaka lacked real flavour. The baklava and ice cream rescued some lost ground, but we felt there was a high degree of unrealised potential here.
