Lex’s Cafe in Brighton and Hove

Been here a few times , rooms are excellent ,staff welcoming and very helpful , depends on room but views are good.

Wish I could give them 0star. This store is located just outside the Brighton station well enough to loot the tourists. They SCAM PEOPLE with their money. I ordered Medium size chips and they did not give the receipt/neither card swipe receipt. And trusting these bunch of scammers , I noticed on returning home that they made a bill for 2chips and the number given on the website did not work. There were 3-4staff working and all scam people as they know these people are not going to come back again neither going to check their bank statements and neither does their phone number work. They make money by scamming so many people in a day. They are trained well enough. Please don't go by the fake reviews given by other people, I would never recommend to anyone. They are paid to give fake reviews.

Booked for dinner here and unfortunately my choice of food was very overcooked. I mentioned this to the waiter and he said it was meant to be well cooked. It was a margarita pizza and I think I know how it should look. I ate a very small piece but it was too dry and tasteless for me. They did knock it off the bill and only asked then if I wanted something else. We were going out for the evening so I didn't have anything else. A real shame as good location and reasonably priced.

We were a party of 6 adults and 1 child ordered only a main course and were in the restaurant for a total of 3 hours. We waited over an hour for our food which became tricky trying to entertain a 2 year old. There was no updates about when our food will arrive, we were just left to wait. This included the food for the 2 year old! When the food eventually arrived one of the dishes was served with half raw potatoes. We were served by a waiter who only just started working there that day, which I don’t think is ideal for a larger table. He seemed very flustered, seeming that he hasn’t worked in catering previously. Some of the more experienced staff eventually took the service but it was too late and left us highly disappointed. We came for a visit in Brighton and by the time we left the restaurant we had no time to explore around the town! The food was 5 stars, one star dropped due to the undercooked dish but generally very tasty! They did comp the undercooked dish which was appreciated.

Jackson was brilliant and after managing bars 20years I have not had a service from someone where I was left feeling satisfied. The man needs a raise and I would happily be served by this young man any day any time of the year. Keep up the good work Jackson
