Into the Blue in Adur

Outstanding food & very friendly & professional service . Thank you very much.

Into The Blue for my birthday meal Five stars on everything This is one of the best restaurants in Sussex and the UK Fantastic food Excellent service Incredible menu We had loads of seafood small plates and so delicious and everyone loved it We will return in 2025 Thank you to all the chefs and staff for a wonderful evening 🥂😋😎❤️

Taste delicious and fresh, best seafood restaurant in town. Value for money and good service & friendly staff. Strongly recommend

WOW! Had decided this would be my birthday outing the moment we settled in Shoreham (literally two months ago). And we were not disappointed. Can I say from the outset fish isn't my go-to choice, but when it's good, it's good...and at INTO THE BLUE it's very, very good! D opted for the monkfish, which was cooked to perfection with a tasty potato croquette and fresh vegetables. Me? I pushed the boat out with the Seafood Platter (in for a penny...as the saying goes!) and suffice to say, every mouthful was a delight. Fish cake. Three very plump prawns. A Mexican take on the prawn cocktail (inspired). Smoked Mackerel Pate and a Salmon Shashimi, Asian-infused. Shared a sticky-toffee pudding with a dollop of very-moreish salted caramel ice cream. Service was great and always with a smile. We will certainly be back. (you never know, I might even try a mussel! Or an oyster!)

We had a wonderful welcome as a walk-in late on Sunday afternoon. The staff were so friendly and recommended we shared the Portuguese seafood stew. It was delicious. As was the chocolate brownie with honeycomb. We will definitely come back.

Love this place , food still as superb as when we used to come , Tempura Oyster fantastic plus the scallops and the Lobster Thermodor delicious , even had room for a superb Tarte tatin. Thank you for serving such wonderful food.

Open Kitchen so you can see your food and being prepared and cooked, was very nice and tasty. And will return again, just a little mix up with an allergy when being served but was resolved quickly

A fabulous meal - the most delicious and fresh monkfish. Always reliably great

Delicious food, delightful service. Into the Blue was a favourite restaurant for several years, but we no longer visit Shoreham regularly, so we were afraid that things would have changed. But it was every bit as good as we remembered - maybe even better. The staff were friendly, chatty and helpful without being pushy; the food was superb, and we had a wonderful evening.

A regular visitor to this restaurant and always our ‘go to’ for a special occasion. I felt compelled to review this time as I didn’t think it possible to keep up the standard so consistently. Dinner was exquisite - I had the scallops followed by Lobster and I’ve not been as excited over my food for months! My husband had oysters and a hake dish both of which he said were amazing. If you want good fish this is the place to visit! A great wine list and all topped off with friendly attentive staff. We can’t wait to return soon!

It's no word of a lie that the meal I had at Into The Blue at lunch is, perhaps, one of the best meals -certainly the best Seafood (sorry, Swanage :-( ) -I've ever had. I was lucky to get a table as they were pretty much fully booked -and one can understand why. I tried my first cooked oyster -in a very light tempura. I love them raw -hence why I always look forward to going back to Swanage- but this was a totally new taste sensation! It was the equivalent of being moved by a sunset... I then had a few light bites: Tempura prawns, which were sweet and crispy in equal measure; Scallops in a garlic, caper & seaweed butter and the most exquisite 'Indian Potatoes' -crispy cubs of potatoe in a gorgeous Tamarind, Treacle sauce with spices. Despite each dish coming with dipping sauces, etc nothing over-powered the fish. It was all complimentary and helped bring out more subtle tastes. I've certainly not had scallops like that before. I do consider myself quite a foody, but it's rare for me to find somewhere that is able to give me food of that quality without being pretentious; where they have a genuine love for what they do. It's also very reasonably priced considering the quality of the dishes on offer! I will certainly be coming back, with a better appetite next time -and I will try something more adventurous. I'm aware that the Sunday menu is a little different to their normal one and I think I might even try booking next time to avoid disappointment!

Excellent food, some of the best I’ve had in the Shoreham area. Super friendly staff just added to the pleasurable dining experience.

after going to this restaurant a few years ago, my dad was egar to try it again. on this visit dad was in a wheelchair. we had not booked and as we entered, a chair was immediately removed from one of the tables. This made dad feel very welcome. if you're not that hungry, you will be once you've smelled the absolutely delicious aromas coming from the kitchen. Dad liked the look of the sharing menu and my friend chose a starter of tempura draws and the Hake as a main. I wish I'd taken photo's. every thing was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked. Try the Indian potatoes. absolutely amazing. really friendly and a real gem. thank you for making us feel so welcome.

This restaurant is fabulous of any time it is open.Fish is what they are all about and it is fantastic and reasonably priced.Desserts are very very tasty

We had a great experience in Into the Blue. You can tell all the ingredients are fresh, nothing frozen and they offer a wide array of seafood/fish for every pallet. The only thing was it was so popular that they ran out of food half way through the day! So we’d recommend getting in early on weekends. Would absolutely return.

What a fabulous restaurant.. Great meal, great service. Highly recommended.

I'm tempted not to write a review and keep this place to myself because it's such a hidden gem. Fresh, well-cooked, beautifully presented seafood, near the seaside, great service, great relaxed atmosphere. Very reasonable prices too. Do not hesitate to come here, you won't be disappointed.

We’d been promised a visit to this wonderful restaurant by some local friends and it really didn’t disappoint. A warm welcome, friendly and attentive service and some lovely cooking. A selection of starters was shared by the table followed by some amazing fish main courses including, bouillabaisse, moules and a special of the day, a Spanish fish stew. We then treated ourselves to some sumptuous deserts. Have to say that we enjoyed the food so much we forgot to take many pictures! Great food, warm service and good value for the excellent quality. A seaside gem!

After last Novembers visit which was very good we found today's food very disappointing. The starters were tasteless and the Monkfish main was overcooked. Overall the food was mediocre and over priced.

Great food and fantastic service- was recommended by the owner of the property we stayed in and were not disappointed! If you are staying nearby is definitely worth a visit.

Great little restaurant tucked away and easy to miss. Some of the options are quite pricey, but the fish and chips wasn't and tasted superb. Highly recommended.

This is a most amazing restaurant on the Sussex coast. Seafood they serve is amazing. In particular, their Cataplana, the Portuguese fish stew, is a perfection. Their wines are a perfect complement to the meals their serve. The service is very personal, responsive and precise. Have not come across a better place in the area for lunch or early dinner.

We were greeted with a warm welcome. The four of us had the sharing menu. The presentation of the food was very impressive and everything we had to eat was absolutely delicious. The staff were attentive & friendly too. It’s a restaurant we all said we’d return to in the future. Thank you for making my son’s birthday celebration most enjoyable. LH

Best meal we've had in forever! Fresh fish cooked to perfection!! Everyone so welcoming, myself and my husband sat afterwards and tried to think when we'd eaten as well and couldn't find a comparison.

Consistently good and excellent service

Fresh fish well cooked and presented. Friendly staff and a reasonable price Now do sharing plates

Non pretentious but excellent sea food including imaginative small plates menus as well as excellent traditional fish and chips.

Had a fantastic meal here on Friday, we love coming back to Into the Blue, the food is always consistently brilliant and service is always friendly and attentive, great place to bring people visiting Shoreham if you can get a table.

Another fantastic meal and wonderful evening 😀

Absolutely delicious food. All freshly cooked, flavours really singing in all the dishes. Innovative and tasty - monkfish in a delicate laksa, roast potatoes with Indian spices, boulibasse to name a few

Brilliant seafood restaurant. Not much better anywhere else to be honest.

Best seafood meal with a thai twist. The presentation and taste were to die for. Would definitely come back soon. Sorry no pictures we were busy enjoying

Beautiful food. Very well cooked and staff happy to help if you have any special requests.

Always amazing food and great service at into the blue !

Staff are super friendly and helpful. I had Octopus as a starter which was tender and in a nice sauce. Herself had a good sized (for a starter) piece of Monkfish which was cooked as it should be. Both has Boullabas served with fresh baguette. Lovely. Nice wine too. All reasonably priced. Still as good as it's always been.

A lovely find - hidden away in Shoreham beach - but the service is excellent and friendly, the fish is fresh and well cooked. Love the menu! Nicely informal and not stuffy

I wouldn't ordinarily post, but we were served two gone off prawns and it was very clear..when the issue was raised I was offered £2 off with attitude and had to push back for a meagre free desert.I love this restaurant and have come 5x and spent £120+ each time for two peope. I want to come again because the food is amazing but raising an issue and being made to feel like it's our fault is not cool or professional.Have some quality control over serving gone off prawns. We cook all the time and you can tell. You can make people sick. Ps - food is amazing but what we experienced was unpleasant. Both hoping we aren't sick....

We all really enjoyed the food 3adults and a teenager service good and pleasant waitress will be returning very soon

Outstanding dining experience with impeccable wine pairing—among the best I've ever encountered. Highly recommend, and would gladly return if in the area.

On a lovely sunny October Thursday lunchtime. My wife and I enjoyed a couple of hours savouring the best cooked, flavours and variety in dishes, akin to a tapas meal. We chose the Sharing Platter at £ 62.00 on the day. Served by very pleasant staff, on to our table was placed at a following pace, were Chilli Squid, Smoked Mackerel Pate, Sea Bass, Venison Steak, Cod and Vegetable Pakora and extra side dishes too of Indian Potatoes plus a dish of Potatoe Fries. All washed down with a glass of Prosecco for the Lady and a pint of Guinness. Highly recommended, taste sensation.

Our first time yesterday trying this place. Very friendly staff, great service and wonderful food. Food was always very hot when it came out and very tasty. It was clean and tidy inside.

Absolutely incredible food. Totally taken by surprise. Was recommended by a friend but we never expected this. JUST INCREDIBLE

excellent food, perfect level of music where you can actually hear you are dining with, and the staff is SO SO SO friendly - and genuine. makes such a difference.

A delicious treat again! The menu has changed since my last visit and myself and two of my adult daughters really enjoyed the small plates and the multiple delicious tastes we shared. A highlight was the fresh hake, huge flakes, perfectly moist and tasty. Also the oysters, and then must not forget the chilli squid. The wine was a reasonable price, and the dessert delicious. I feel fortunate to live near such a high quality very local establishment which is good value for money and offers friendly service and an excellent range of dishes. Looking forward to next visit!

It seldom happens at any restaurant but we thoroughly enjoyed the food. Fresh oysters were very fresh which my husband loved and I loved my scallops. Fillet steak was awesome and tender and lobster was great. We made the last minute booking so sat at one of the outside tables and the blanket was great service. We are looking forward to going back soon.

Such a joy to return here after a long break. Lovely welcome and excellent selection of food and drink on offer. As a big seafood fan you would think I would be spoilt for choice living on this island nation but sadly this is not always the case. Well done to Into The Blue for representing Shoreham so well.

Taster menu ( £62 for two). Food & service was excellent. The only thing that let this restaurant down was the smoke inside. Really need to work on the extraction fans. Very smoky inside from the kitchen & cooking. It’s a small venue and it was quite over powering at times.

I get boring going on about how well the Dover Sole Meuniere is done in this delightful restaurant. Whatever you have is beautifully cooked, the service is wonderful and the price very reasonable.

Excellent fresh sea food (scallops, octopus and more) comes out fast

Absolutely amazing every time. They constantly deliver amazing dishes with incredible tastes

Love this restaurant and never have written any reviews as food always good but recently visited and 2 out if our party ordered the Dover sole as our mains. We waited 45 minutes from our starter to when our main course appeared not a real problem but the sole was totally over salted but didn’t want to mention anything but yes we did eat it but was extremely disappointed and after leaving drunk a huge amount if water! Did mention to a waitress upon leaving but the chef needs to taste before it’s served. Won’t be returning for a while.

My first visit but raved about by my sister. I was not disappointed. The scallops were the best I've had. Friendly service

Another great night for us here and as usual service was exemplary, food was, as always amazing and such a great place to dine in. The staff are absolutely awesome especially the lady who has a black Labrador who found time to talk about the benefits of owning a dog. It’s not the first time we’ve been here and just such a great restaurant.

First time visit to this restaurant and didn't know what to expect, and what a gem. Relaxed atmosphere near to the beach, and welcoming service even though very busy. The food was beautiful, and the flavours were amazing. Recommend you book and will definitely be returning

Good choice of seafood. Oysters and prawn tempura excellent. Local lobster on the menu

Very disappointing, we have visited before Covid, and had a great substantial meal at a reasonable price. Unfortunately things have changed. This is just a glorified fish and chip shop thinking it is a high class restaurant. It is not. But it still charges high class prices, for low quality battered fish and chips. We will not be returning.

Nice relaxed ambience and good service. The food was excellent, nicely presented and hot. I'm returning again in July with a large group who i'm sure will be equally impressed.

Excellent meal! Fresh fish and shellfish cooked to perfection; a chef who knows what they are doing. A digestif on the the house to boot.

The restaurant atmosphere was generally quite lively. The staff were quite helpful though took a little bit to get to us. Food was decent but just decent given the price.

Not impressed & sadly we left before ordering. They made a big deal about not being able to just walk in & take our chances without prior booking over the phone (in a less than friendly manner) & when we arrived for our reserved table there were plenty of free tables going. One particular staff member was giving off a very snooty condescending vibe . We felt the whole thing was very overblown pretentious & trying too hard to be something it wasn’t. The food was overpriced for what it was, the environment wasn’t particularly relaxing to be in & it was basically a beach cafe (which is fine & could have been lovely) except they clearly thought they were a 5 star Michelin restaurant in Paris. Overall it didn’t feel very welcoming to us or particularly friendly. It just Wasn’t Worth our precious time to stick around & pay the overblown prices to find out what the food was like. Unfortunately.

We had lunch on the tables outside, everything we tried was great! Service was friendly and very fast.

Into the Blue is an absolute gem for seafood lovers. Delicious, innovative sharing plates using fresh local produce. Inviting specials. A friendly and engaging team. Just brilliant.

Shared a few different small plates which were great. The hummus was very tasty in particular. Service was great, would definitely recommend

Delicious and interesting small plates. Fish and shellfish beautifully cooked. Lovely staff adds to the whole experience. Thoroughly recommend

This really is a ruly wonderful place for fish .I had a Dover Sole Meuniere which was perfect followed by a delightful chocolate dessert. Ten out of ten!!

Wanted to go to this for years and finally got to it on a visit back to Shoreham. It didn't disappoint, excellent food, really tasty, very creative.

Odd location but 5 mins from the beach - fresh seafood. The best we have found on the south coast - oysters , local lobsters, seafood- beautiful- love the ginger sauce with the oysters but the one with mussels to die for too. Provençal wine...

Booked after reading reviews, good expectations - quickly dashed. Small and basic, nothing fancy which is just fine with us.....service was slow, staff fairly young and that showed thru in their experience - no personality in the place, just take order, deliver order, clear order,...

Always exceptional service and food - highly recommend

Great welcome by staff. Starter dips pretty average. Main fish and chips not that great. Bouillabaisse tasty but not sure why dollops of cream added? Perhaps for moules marinieres? Brownie desert very nice. Bottle of Australian Sauvignon very good. Bit pricey at short of £100....

Always a beautiful meal, presented well and served by lovely staff. We'll worth a visit.

We went with some friends who are local and wanted to come here for quite some time. I found the food good but nothing special, perhaps I was expecting the produce to be fresher? Or perhaps cooked with less condiment so I could taste the flavour? We got some starters to share and I was very disappointed with the squid,I felt it wasn't fresh, very chewy some parts and hard others. My main was a buyavesse and pretty poor execution compared to others that I've had in France or Spain, although the fish in this main dish was better. Hospitality was top notch, we even got a complementary drink at the end. Also desserts, a bit meh, nothing special if you ask me. I got the Eton mess and pretty poor for £7 dessert, I felt nothing on that desert was home made. I would go once to try it but I wouldn't repeat if you ask me.

Always excellent fish. We had Lobster Thermidor and it was very succulent with plenty of sauce. There was a side salad with a lovely light honey vinagraite dressing. We will certainly go again. Since visiting after a long time we find that the excellent fish menu has changed to a not so good fish tapas selection, with a few basic fish dishes such as fish and chips. Not what we were expecting. I don't think we shall be going again.

My husband and I went here tonight fir our wedding anniversary and my birthday celebration. And was not let down at all. All the food was totally amazing ( my compliments to the chefs)and also big thank you to millie for explaining what the ingredients for each dish.your a diamond. Had a great evening here and will definitely be back soon.. Thank you in to the blue staff xx

Super delicious food. We went for my partner's birthday. He tried the bouillabaisse and I had the potatoes gratin+cauliflower dish. Really tasty.

Brilliant food, lovely service, nice family business

First Dover Sole experience and it was delicious, and Indian tease potatoes are not to be missed. Service and decor good

Dined here recently with my wife and child for her birthday. Very welcoming staff. Great food, akin to Cinnamon Club in London. Was a lovely surprise to have fusion seafood.

I wonder how many fish restaurants in Britain offer as good value and exceptional cooking skills as Into the Blue on Shoreham Beach? We have been going there for many years and it is always sublime. AND tremendous friendly staff and service. The £60 tasting...

Went with friends after work, roof Terrace upper area not quite as pleasant as lower... more of a smoking area which wasn't really what we had hoped for when booking a table for 10. Plus on a Tuesday night the bar was on the ground floor...a trek for top ups... decided to opt for a starter from the menu as did a friend. Really not impressed, what a pity as the mains looked lovely. Felt quite let down.

Just discovered this place for the first time and how unique it is. Jia Mo is an archetypal 'only do a couple of things and do them REALLY well' kind of a place. The hand-made noodles were really tasty and the cold sliced beef with chilli oil was unlike anything I've had in this country (in a good way!) I'm on a low carb diet at the moment so was really pleased to see zero carb options on the menu I highly recommend a visit if you fancy something different and authentic. This place deserves to do really well As for the negative 'cold beef sandwich' review why bring a place down for being authentic? The menu is very clear that the beef is served cold, as is tradition in Xi An and Jia Mo offers 2 different cuts of beef: Shank (well known and loved for its fattiness) and topside (lean if fatty is not your thing)

Was initially apprehensive about visiting a fish orientated restaurant as I'm vegan, however the vegetarian options were exquisite. In this case the cost of the food matched the quality. The service was warm and helpful. The wine was good and the ambience cosy, much needed on a cold night. I've given four stars, because it would be great to have a vegan dessert option on the menu, apart from a sorbet. The desserts sounded delicious, a toffee-ish pudding, Eton mess, but no vegan ice-cream. Otherwise can't recommend highly enough.

My partner and I decided to go to a different restaurant a month in our local area & so we visited Into the /blue. The restaurant is across the bridge & you;d think it got not much foot-fall but it was busy and had a...

Excellent restaurant with a varied menu. Great service .. at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Came here for a Friday night dinner with friends who highly reccomended the place who came here before lockdown. For supposedly being a fish restaurant, there wasn't a lot of choice of fish. Admittedly I had the oysters which although small, were tasty. We all...

This place just keeps improving and that’s a sign of total quality. Incredible food after many years of service. Thank you, it made a birthday celebration wonderful.

Four of us had lunch. Hard to avoid the share menu but we did!and found the starters most exciting. Mains of Scallops,Moules,Cod and I had a beautifully cooked Dover Sole Meuniere all of which were 5 .star. Not much room for a pudding! I just...

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food

I never expected to find this quality of restaurant in this humble location. Unpretentious, simple and very good. Nice helpful staff and interesting but uncomplicated menu.

A truly excellent culinary experience, one of the best restaurants on the entire south coast. A very friendly atmosphere.

My new go to restaurant. Few places in Shoreham have refined cuisine. The sort of food that tastes excellent, clean and fresh. Very friendly staff and lunch or dinner is always delicious.

Unpretentious, cosy and buzzing with atmosphere I stumbled across this seafood delight and a delicious menu of delicate flavours , created by an imaginative chef who knows his seafood. Warm and welcoming I was greeted by Sam who presented a small specialised menu serving fish...

Small plates bit larger than tapas, really tasty and excellent service. We will be back. Free evening car park too. Nice.

Absolutely excellent. So excited to eat here and it didn't disappoint,

Unusual fish dishes with outstanding vegetables! We shall come again!

We have visited this amazing restaurant quite a few times and found the food, service & atmosphere exceptional. However we now find the new menu so very confusing as it says to order 6-7 small plates per couple but the menu doesn’t say which ones...

The best seafood in the south east. Highly recommended.
