The Flint House in Brighton and Hove

Five of us for a Saturday lunch based on numerous small dishes all of which we enjoyed. Focaccia, sweetcorn fritters, cured salmon, ham croquettes, anchovy toast, pheasant and steak were all delicious. In addition I had the Hispi cabbage and the fried sprouts which whilst tasty might not have been the wisest choice. Drinks are undeniably expensive with modest bottles of wine around £45 and small cans of in-house lager at £6. Service was really very good - friendly and efficient. It’s certainly popular with every table taken during our visit. We’ll worth a visit.

Perfect birthday lunch great food and fantastic cocktails. Thank you!

We had the Chef's menu with wine pairings and it was one of the most delicious meals I've had! The flavours were incredible! A lovely setting, really great customer service.

It was our first time here. Service was great and the food delicious. I would highly recommend.

Great food and vibes. Love eating at the counter and see the kitchen working! Bonus point for the mescal selection

Went for a late lunch and ordered all the sides to share...absolutely delicious food. Such a range of interesting flavours. It looks like the menu changes regularly which makes sense as it's not a big menu but everything looked fabulous. We were all happy with our food. The shaved cauliflower salad was amazing, as were the green and confit potatoes. Friendly service and a very small voluntary charity contribution, which is great. Very happy.

My partner and I recently attended The Flint House as part of their OctoberBEST Set Menu promotion. The staff were incredibly attentive and amicable. It seemed every staff member we spoke to was aware of our dietary requirements, making me feel safe and at ease despite my allergy being a component of one of the dishes. To start we had house focaccia with garlic and parsley butter, a modern twist on the classic bread basket. Both components of this dish were delicious, and if we could purchase either on our way out we would have. We then enjoyed a trio of amuse bouche comprising Beetroot & Goats Cheese Croquette, Ham Croquette and Sweet corn fritter, all served with their own bespoke flavored mayonnaises. We loved these as they were flavourful, light and fluffy. Our only comment was that a little additional salt would set the corn fritter alive and the goats cheese was a funky as a Friday night at Casablanca's! Not for the faint of heart! For our main we enjoyed the Soy and BBQ Braised Short Rib served with Creamy Mash and Red Cabbage Slaw. This dish was impeccable. As a salt loving girly, this ticked all my boxes! However, for my partner, who is a tad salt-averse, he did find the soy braise a little much. I think a larger portion of the red cabbage slaw, or even a braised red cabbage with added sweetness and spice, could certainly assist those who don't have the perfect palate that I boast. The finale was a Lemon and Blackberry Posset served with White Chocolate Brazil Nuts and Cream. The posset was perfectly set and beautifully sharp, with the blackberry and cream there to support. Our waiter was attentive and friendly, the maître d was welcoming and polite, and all other staff we encountered were wonderfully pleasant. Overall, we had a fantastic evening and would very much recommend The Flint House.

Honestly had one of the best meals I had... ever. Our waitress Alicia was incredible, soooo lovely and the food was next level. Every bite was amazing. And even had French red chilled wine that me and my mum love. We'll be back!

French couple visiting Brighton, we wanted to have dinner around 7:30 p.m. in this restaurant but we were told there would be a 40-minute wait even though the bar (10x2 seats) and several tables of 2 or more people were free. The host insisted that the restaurant was overbooked even though it was almost empty and didn't even offer us a drink while we waited. It’s clear that this restaurant that snubs customers when it’s almost empty is overestimating its reputation. It is very likely that the same is true for the quality of its cuisine and wines.

Couple de français en visite à Brighton, nous avons voulu diner vers 19h30 dans ce restaurant mais on nous a annoncé 40 minutes d’attente alors que le bar (10x2 places) et plusieurs tables de 2 personnes ou plus étaient libres. L’hôte d’accueil nous a joué avec insistance le restaurant surbooké alors qu’il était presque vide et ne nous a même pas proposé de boire un verre en attendant. Il est clair que ce restaurant qui snobe des clients alors qu’il est presque vide surestime sa réputation. Il est fort probable que ce soit de même pour la qualité de sa cuisine et de ses vins.

Restaurant au coin de rues pavées très mignonnes. Un restaurant avec une déco chaleureuse. Nous avons déjeuner au bar devant les cuisines où l’on peut observer le chef et ses cuisiniers s’activer pour servir des plats aussi beau que bon. Bon expérience, prix plutôt raisonnable.

Loved the experience here! The small plates are perfect for sharing, and the rooftop terrace adds a special touch. My favorites? The sweetcorn fritters and confit potatoes — so delicious! 🥂 The service was very friendly and I'm looking forward to visiting this place soon again.

Stopped in for lunch for two without a booking and the food was excellent. Great service. Would recommend.

Yo y amigo no pedimos vino y entrante solo pedir el plato principal. La gerente parece no estar contenta y molesta. No educado y sin sonrisa.

Had the 5 course chefs menu Can’t fault a single dish. The veggie dishes we typically wouldn’t have ordered were our favourite. Cauliflower especially! Can’t wait for next time The waiter was more than attentive and all staff seem flawless at their jobs.

Pretty disappointing and expensive. Steak was pretty cold and pretty chewy.(all 4 we ordered). Nice staff and friendly service but overall food wasn’t very good.

Flint House es parte del grupo Ginger Man en Brighton. Platos estilo bistró servidos al estilo de moda “plato pequeño”, se selecciona entre entrantes más pequeños y tuberías principales más grandes con uno o dos lados para acompañar Después de haber seguido el consejo de los camareros, pedimos más, pero no nos arrepentimos en absoluto. Las ostras abrieron el bateo, seguidas de cerca por las Fritas de Maíz Dulce que fueron dulces y saladas con un increíble Chipotle ahumado mayo. Sólo cielo. Sasha fue por los Calabacines crudos. No me gustó el sonido de esto, pero el ajo cargado, la vinagreta embriagadora y los piñones con ajo crujiente (sí más ajo) hicieron que este avión sonara absolutamente espectacular. Trucha, con samphire. Pata de pato confitado. Filete y papas nuevas con ajo, chile y queso. Todo absolutamente lleno de sabor. Sabor era la palabra del día. Un negroni de mango descarado seguido de una jarra de Stelenbosch Chenin Blanc mantuvo nuestros silbatos mojados en algún estilo. No hay lugar para el pudín, a pesar de ellos Te ves muy bien en la mesa de al lado. Zane, nuestro camarero era muy bueno. Atento y relajado. El servicio en general fue genial. 145 libras para dos en el almuerzo no es para todos. Y no para nosotros hasta dentro de un año. Pero volveremos. Era absolutamente golpeando.

The most wonderful and interesting menu’s we have enjoyed for sometime. Each dish was superb on its own merits but when mixed with the other they all excelled. Service, ambiance and location excellent.

Nice place and atmosphere, and the quality of food is good

This is usually one of our favourite places to visit as the food is exceptional. A table was booked for my birthday weeks in advance and instead, we were shown to very uncomfortable bar stools and was told this was considered one of the tables. For a resturant where multiple dishes are advised, there just wasn't the space and clearly the restaurant had been overbooked and we were being pressured to take subpar seating. The front of house staff were incredibly unfriendly and unhelpful. What a shame!

Disappointing experience at the Flint House. After an hour and a half of waiting, we were still only at the entrances. The starters and main courses were good, but nothing exceptional either. Unfortunately, the slow and disorganized service ruined the whole experience. Better management of the service would really be necessary.

We usually thoroughly enjoy this resturant on our routinely visits to Brighton. We booked a table for my birthday to be greeted with a bar stool and told rather coldly that this was the only table left (even though we booked weeks in advance). Not the service you expect from high end dining.

Decided to try this restaurant for lunch … what a find! We ate upstairs … very spacious eating area … very attentive staff. The food is very different. Starters were a series of very interesting small plates … the raw courgettes with pine nuts with roasted garlic was very refreshing. The lamb and steak mains were excellent and check the fried greens! We also had a few carafes of wine … a wide set of options. Unfortunately, we didn’t have room for a desert. Not the cheapest but … you get what you pay for!

We had impeccable service from Alicia. Everything was perfect. We will come back

Gorgeous food. We shared Focacia Sweetcorn Fritters Salt cod croquettes ShittKe mushrooms Prawns Confit potato All absolutely wonderful. Service was very friendly and quick. Wine was delicious

We've been many times before and always rated the food and service, but today was a disappointment. Maybe 2pm on a bank holiday Monday is a poor choice of time - it was memorable for the wrong reasons. The food was good as ever, but for the price, this should be accompanied by good service. Our waiter was slow and a bit clueless. Perhaps he was new, but there did not appear to be anybody overseeing him. Despite the fact they were not busy and the waiting staff had time to stand around and chat, every time we wanted another drink or order it was such an effort. At one point towards the end of our visit, I reluctantly took the decision to call out and interrupt two waiting staff who were busy chatting, as we had been waiting for ten mins to order a drink. This was met by resistance and rudeness, particularly by one waitress who was full of attitude the entire time. We also had to constantly request our empty plates and glasses were removed. The staff simply did not have a good eye on their tables - such a shame. One lady who served us once at the end of our visit was great, thank goodness, but it was only after we'd had to ask yet again. The toilets were disgusting - urine on the loo seats and floor and supplies running empty - clearly not being checked. I appreciate it had probably been a very busy lunch service for them, and I am sure some of the staff must had worked very hard, but we didn't witness that. We just received poor service at at high price with a service charge. Flint House, you'll need to buck up a bit in this competitive market as your regulars will walk...

Gorgeous food in a stunning setting, sitting outside in a cosy courtyard. Excellent service with fabulous drinks. Well done The Flint House

Good experience, good timing between courses and lovely waiter Zane. Although, there were a slight trouble on the drinks side of things.

Had yet another excellent meal with friends on Saturday evening. Lovely service from Sabrina and great atmosphere.

What a great place, the food and service were superb. Our lovely waitress (Faye?) was delightful, described the food and helped pick the right amount, all of which was delicious. I also·like that you can get a carafe of wine, more than a glass but not a full bottle. Highly recommended.

We've just been to The Flint House for my birthday lunch, and what a wonderful lunch it was. I'm wheat intolerant and often wary about eating out, especially in nicer restaurants. The waiter made adjustments to the chefs menu so we could still choose that and I didn't feel like I was missing out. My husband's favourite plate was the BBQ mackerel and mine was the slow cooked lamb shoulder. All of the plates were delicious though. Thank you to the waiters for making my birthday even more special. Second visit: It was a busy Wednesday evening at the restaurant. Service was slower than it had been previously and the room was noisier. We felt the dishes didn't live up to our expectations from our last visit, but were still very tasty. It was a lovely evening but unfortunately not as good as our last visit

We found The Flint House while looking for daytime drinks/light bites. The mini roof terrace was cute and the very pleasant staff, cool decor and space gave our visit a definitive uplift. Food was really nice too and we'd definitely like to return to try more of the menu.

The five course tasting menu was great and very reasonably priced compared to nearby alternatives. The front of house was quite abrupt and rude, but thankfully the table service was friendly. There is also a nice selection of wines to choose from, and a relaxed atmosphere upstairs.

A real gem, we had the roast, best we had had.

Miss this place and miss out on something outstanding - easily the best food I had in Brighton!

Came here over a week ago for my mums birthday, i genuinely can’t recommend this place more, the man with glasses at the door was instantly so accommodating to us all as well as the young brunette waitress who was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. The food was incredible and well worth the money. We will definitely be coming back.

What a fab find for lunch today for me and my daughter. Such an interesting menu! Chose 4 superb plates and will be back to try some more. Staff were really good, and lovely relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Thank you x

Been here a few times and enjoyed very much. This time found some of the dishes rather greasy. Corn fritters were greasy and tasted like the oil needed changing, a bit like a bad doughnut from the pier. Some of the dishes were a bit slimy. Chicken was just cooked and a bit bloody in places. Lamb was nice but again tasted a bit greasy. On top of all this was mistakenly charged an extra, wait for it, £100! I nearly paid this but decided to check the bill. Mistakes happen but the staff seemed to take offence at my questioning this. I got a rather sarcastic bye as I left from the women behind the till. There’s a lot of other nice restaurants in Brighton. Coal shed, salt room, burnt orange. Try these instead. Just to add, the waiter we had to start with was excellent. He was attentive and friendly. It’s these dedicated people that make or break these restaurants.

Lovely restaurant! All staff were amazing and happy to accommodate a baby and dog! Food was delicious - we had the chefs menu, I highly recommend this as well as the cocktails. Will 100% be back when we are in Brighton!

We went for the Chef's menu with wine pairing. Really enjoyed it. Lovely restaurant with a relaxed feel. At £70 pp thought it was excellent value

Just great food made with great products. These guys know how to cook in a Michelin star way. Not long before they get the first one. Quality of ingredients make the perfect plate. Rose wine Cote de Provence was delicious too. Strongly recommend, amazingly tasty.

Wonderful place. Delicious & beautiful plates of food and a solid choice of delicious summer drinks! Highly recommend.

Outstanding. Modern fusion cooking in a stunning setting. We sat at the counter and watched the kitchen brigade do their stuff - amazing. Very relaxed dining but food which is very serious; these guys care about what they do. Staff are amazing and made us feel very welcome.

Have been about 10 times. The last two times, the dishes that used to be exciting and delicious were a bit disappointing–mostly tasted of mayo and salt. I hope the quality recovers. I’m really routing for this place to be great again.

Our best dinner experience in England

We went for an early evening dinner on a Monday and decided on the tasting menu. The food, drinks and service were fabulous! We will definitely revisit. ⭐️

Amazing food and great service (Nuno!!) a bit pricy, but all very nice.

Hubby arranged a secret day trip to Brighton (from Loughborough so quite a trek for a day but doable by train) including lunch here. It was fabulous and we would definitely be regulars if we lived closer. It was certainly my type of menu as although I’m not veggie I don’t eat a lot of meat and like vegetarian dishes, of which there was plenty. We had 7 dishes between us for mains and 2 1/2 puds - the 1/2 being the fudge which we couldn’t resist trying. Stand out dishes were the sweet corn fritters, croquettes, hispi cabbage, chicken thighs and the white chocolate mousse (from the specials) which was imo a perfect pud! We also had a carafe of English rose (gorgeous and really appreciated being given a taste first when we enquired what type of rose it was) and hubby had a mocktail. I’m always a fan of the carafe option which you don’t find very often in England. £118 including service charge which we thought was fair given the quality of food and drink. Top notch service too from the whole team.

Our 1st visit to The Flint House, it will most definitely "NOT"be our last!! Ticked every box. Warm friendly & attentive service!! Impressive wine list!! Outstanding menu 👌🏾!! Thank you!!

Went with wife and son for lunch. We ordered a variety of dishes off the menu to share. Standouts were the hispi cabbage, the lamb shoulder and green veg; but everything else was tasty! Service was friendly and well managed. Can't wait to return.

Love this place! Great restaurant with open kitchen. Lovely roof top terrace. We keep coming back! 😊

If Jay Rayner likes it, does that mean I should like it? Turns out the answer is yes. The small plates appear fast, and are brought to the table as they are ready. Each one is presented beautifully but without too much fuss, and all tastes very good. Our surprise favourite was the salted cod dish. Also, the corn fritters had the best corn taste I’ve ever had in fritters. I highly recommend the Sea Breeze mocktail too. A very satisfying experience all round, even though this place is very cool and knows it.

There were some truly outstanding dishes, especially the marinated aubergine and roasted celeriac: both fun, interesting and delicious. The chocolate parfait was superb, nicely accompanied by smooth praline and pears. Other dishes weren't quite up there, but we finished every scrap. Good service and wine suggestions.

Had a fantastic lunch here on Saturday. A great wine menu too. The lamb was succulent and the aubergine was very tasty. Only disappointment, and the reason for me not giving the service a 5 star was that we booked a table on the outdoor terrace weeks before our reservation and was told that that they would book a table for us outside and inside too just in case the weather was bad. However when we arrived we were told in a rather unapologetic abrupt manner that we couldn’t sit outside because there wasn’t a table available out there, even though we’d booked one. Surely a simple reserved sign on the table would have been a simple solution. The reason we had booked this was due to it having outdoor dining. We would have gone elsewhere.

Reservation for 3pm. Not busy restaurant. Food arrived 3.45pm after we requested status. Ordered the chicken with potatoes. The chicken portion was tiny and the potatoes huge. Would have expected some advice before taking the order. No apologies or offers of a discount. Have been here on quite a few occasions over the years since it opened and it's definitely gone downhill. We would have ordered a second carafe but decided to go somewhere else . Rarely request gratuity removed but sadly felt like it was necessary. No reaction but the usual have a nice day from staff on the way out!

Nice food and efficient service.

We visited as a couple and went for the chefs 5 course taster menu with wine. This is a very romantic setting with low level lighting and intimately placed tables with a view of the cobbled street below. The bar is a definite eye catcher. Each course serves two different dishes for you and your partner to share. The wines were perfectly matched. I wasn’t keen on the celeriac dish but inly because I am not keen on celeriac, the dish itself was beautifully presented and my husband enjoyed it. Favourite course has got to be the cajun prawns, so tasty and no fiddling with shells. I also surprisingly enjoyed the wedge salad- it was so refreshing.

This is a good looking place and should have been a joy but a combination of food being cold and slow service took the edge off. Staff were friendly enough but overall if you are serving 'small plates' aka posh tapas then bring the dishes out as they are ready and maybe they won't go cold. I won't be rushing back.

Had dinner on the terrace. Staff were excellent. Food was delicious

The food was delicious though I feel slightly overpriced for my liking.

This was my 4th or 5th visit to The Flint House. The food is delicious and never disappoints. Service is very professional and the small plates somehow all manage to come out in the right order and intervals! Definitely one of my favourite restaurants in Brighton.

Very good atmosphere, delicious cocktails and good choice of wine! The food was very tasty and cute location

The two of us had the chef’s tasting menu with wine and mocktail pairing (I don’t drink at moment!) and it was amazing. We were well looked after by the friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Incredible meal with lovely service. Couldn’t recommend the sweetcorn fritters and hispi cabbage more!!

Had a really lovely evening in The Flint House. The food is top notch and the service is friendly and professional. Everything we ate was delicious. The chef’s menu is a well balanced set of dishes that left us feeling full, but not stuffed and very happy. It’s complemented perfectly by the wine pairing.

Don't waste your time & money food was cold waited over a hour before we got anything had to send food back twice,waitress apologised over and over, she had to say sorry to more than our table manager big attitude, there's a lot of good restaurants in brighton to spend your hard working money on, not this one.

Wonderful restaurant in the Lanes. Really friendly staff managed to find us the perfect table. Food was exquisite. Happily go back.

Can't fault it at all - all the food was beautiful, and the Welshman I dined with declared the lamb to be the best he'd ever tasted.

Absouletly incredible non-alcholic cocktails, hit the spot for those pregnancy cravings!! I had an alcholic bloody mary and honestly, you couldn't tell the difference. The front of house team were so attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Next time we're in Brighton we'll be back for sure, as we only had a couple small plates so want to try some more dishes.

Delicious small plates in a stylish but relaxed baby friendly venue. Try the stuffed dates

I must express my profound disappointment with the dining experience at this establishment, despite the positive reviews it has received. Our group of six, gathered to celebrate a friend's birthday, encountered a series of unfortunate incidents that marred the evening. To begin with, the waiter's demeanor was nothing short of passive-aggressive, bordering on deliberate annoyance. His insistence that we order all courses simultaneously, despite our preference to start with appetizers and decide on mains later, was exasperating and unheard of in any reputable dining establishment. My personal experience with the food only exacerbated the situation. Upon ordering the slow-roasted lamb, I was dismayed to find a strand of hair on my plate. While such mishaps can occur, the manner in which it was handled was wholly unsatisfactory. Bringing back the same plate within a mere two minutes, clearly indicating that the offending hair had not been properly addressed, was utterly unacceptable, particularly for a restaurant purportedly of higher quality. In light of these experiences, I cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone. The combination of subpar service and food hygiene issues renders it unworthy of patronage. I would strongly advise others to seek dining alternatives, as I have no intention of returning, even under the most dire circumstances.

Excellent atmosphere, delicious food and top service

I visited this evening with my partner for his birthday. I exchanged a few emails with a lovely lady called Nefeli who was so helpful. Our food was delicious - we were served by two ladies. One in particular (I believe she was Spanish) was chatty and attentive (but not too much). We have a wonderful evening and we will certainly be coming back.

Part of the Ginger Group. Small plates, but mains are actually generous! All the dishes were good but the sea bream carpaccio and the cod main were standout. Roast cauliflower was plentiful. Worth a detour! Carafes of wine available.

Great little place with good service and food but not an extensive menu

Well executed food. Just not blown away.

We stumbled upon the Flint House and we did not have reservations. They set us up at the counter which provides a full view of the kitchen. We decided on the tasting menu with wine pairing as it's a small plate menu. The menu was outstanding. Each dish presented a new set of wonderful flavours. My favorite was the lamb over smashed minty peas. We tried to take pictures of each course before starting but got ahead of ourselves on a few of them. We travel a lot and always seek interesting places for dinner. This was one the top places we have found.

Have had the pleasure of eating here several times a year since they first opened. The food never fails to delight. Always fresh and very tasty. But the thing that amazes me most of all is the staff. I don't know how they recruit or train their staff but whatever it is that they do they have absolutely nailed it. Without exception I have always found their staff welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Special shout out today to Javier - enjoy your trip home to Cadiz.

Best meal we've had eating out for years. Great choice, service was brilliant and really good atmosphere.

The food was amazing - we had the tasting menu and wine pairings and you cannot fault the quality, variety and value. We went late in the evening and did feel slightly rushed at times, but on the whole was a brilliant meal and would go again.

Food was amazing and the service was great too. Staff took the trouble to check out which wines were vegan for me (tip for restaurant- include that info on the drinks menu as so many places do now). Overall, a great experience and would definitely go back.

Dinner in a modern bar and restaurant situated within the maze of the Brighton Lanes. Upstairs is the bar where you can have a pre-dinner drink. Downstairs is what we have come for Obvs. There's a counter-level bar that gives you a front-row view as plates upon small plates of dishes are prepped, made, and walked from the kitchen to the table. Their menu has quite a varied choice, from snacks and small plates to a five-course Chef’s menu. For 2 to share 50pp / 70pp with wine pairing. We couldn't decide what to have, so we went for the Chefs menu. Just to be awkward,we asked to change one of the dishes to a preferred alternative. After the server had a little discussion with the chef, he nodded. We didn't have the wine pairing as we both have different tastes. Instead of having a glass or a bottle, you can have a 375ml carafe. One white,one red, please. This also saves on having to catch the eye of your server to order another glass. This is a great way of dining out as you get to try different dishes off the menu that you probably wouldn't have ordered or would have missed. Speaking of which, the very first dish was a very pretty looking Sweet Potato Crisp, Courgette, Sage, Pomegranate followed by Bream Ceviche, Orange, Coriander, Jalapeño. Then comes a couple of tasty snacks,Sweetcorn Fritters & Ham and Gruyere croquettes. Next up is the dish we swapped to Roasted Cod,Thai Green Curry Sauce,Vermicelli Noodle, Thai Basil. That comes with a Radicchio, Anchovy, and Parmesan Salad accompaniment. The main dish was Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder, crushed peas, feta, mint,Satay Squash, picked chilli, Peanuts, Coriander with the most outrageous Confit Potato, Black Pepper Aioli. Dessert of Chocolate Parfait, Vanilla Poached Pear, Praline Crème Diplomat. Dark Chocolate and Brown Butter Fudge, Cocoa Nib. Service was very friendly, and the food was spot on. All dishes were served at pace from an open kitchen. Time flew by as we were mesmerised watching all the busy chefs prepare the dishes.

Soooo good. I’m honestly quite hard to please but the Flint House was really great. Went for an early dinner with a friend and all the staff were lovely and welcoming, they happily switched out the gin for tequila in my negroni with no fuss. Great guidance on food selection and quantities required. Good wine list, and good knowledge about it on the part of the staff too. If you like oysters you have to try the gochujang ones they have on, so so tasty. Although to be fair every dish was really good. Creme brûlée doughnut was spectacular. My only tiny gripe is that they had a miscommunication about the dessert wine we ordered to go with it so we needed up not having that but they were so lovely about it that it didn’t matter. Plus that doughnut was so good I’ll almost certainly pop back in just for a lunchtime treat of that and the Riesling at some point so will get to try the pairing anyway!

We had an absolutely stunning meal here for valentine's day. We did the chefs menu. Each course was spaced out and there was a lot of food but it was such a relaxed and elongated service that we didn't feel like we'd eaten too much at once despite it being a big meal. We were at our table for two hours, it was such a lovely experience to not feel rushed. The stand out course was the BBQ mackerel with the radichio, anchovy and parmesan salad, and also the desert was outstanding. Can't wait to come again - a new favourite for us, for sure.

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time for Valentine's Day having heard good things. We went for an early dinner, lovely service and attentive staff as soon as we entered. They answered all of our questions about the menu and offered recommendations. We had a completely vegetarian meal, there were lots of options. We ordered for starters: Corn fritters - These went down a storm, my favourite dish of the night Focaccia - Delicious For mains: Cauliflower with pistachio pesto - Girlfriend says "scrumptious and unusual." Hispe cabbage - The flavours were delicious, if a little lost in the bulk of it, the crispy onion is a great addition Confit potato, black pepper alioli - Both of us loved these, they were just the right size as they're quite salty, they have a delightful crunch Fried greens, padron peppers - Another favourite of the night, really great flavours and the nuts work brilliantly For dessert we had: Blue cheese crumpet - This was thoroughly enjoyed by my girlfriend, she raved about it Chocolate parfait and poached pear - This was a bit too salty, with big flakes of sea salt that were overpowering. The menu should say that it comes covered in hazelnuts as I may have chosen a different option if I'd known. The pear was tasty Though and the parfait itself was nice. Overall we left really happy with our experience. The staff were super friendly and the atmosphere lovely though maybe next time I would ask for a table upstairs rather than by the front door.

Service and atmosphere great. Let down a litle on the food - lots of fried bits - careful ordering recommended.

Very nice food and friendly service, comprehensive drinks menu and a nice atmosphere. Expensive, but no more so than equivalent spots in brighton. However, the menu (specifically the portion sizing) needs much simplification. Our lovely waiter took at least 90 seconds just to explain the different types of plates and - despite all members of our party ordering from the same part of the menu - we all ended up with vastly different quantities of food. Is it small plates? Is it fine dining? This part just felt a bit confused. Nevertheless, it was very tasty.

Great food and excellent service

All around great restaurant in the Lanes in Brighton. Large menu with a variety of delicious dishes. I had the radicchio salad, bream ceviche, and pork schnitzel -- all were very well made, delicious, and I would order again. Definitely a strong recommendation for this place. You'll enjoy!

Went in for a drink and it was really nice it was the vodka spritz... All the workers were nice to

Very good quality food but the main dishes have the size of starters so ends up being totally overpriced. We ended up having to buy a sandwich and fries as we were still very hungry when we left. The portion of cod they put in your plate is about the third of what you get in a pub for the same price.

Always a great experience. Food is very good. Service is very good and always have the right volume of music.

Fantastic meal wonderful service

This restaurant is superb. We ate at the bar, food was quickly supplied but the quality was out of this world. One of the nicest things we had was confit of potatoes. That was amazing. This is small plate modern Spanish tapas. Service was impeccable. Its a real treat.

Visited The Flint House after moving to Brighton, having heard wonderful things. We had the chef's menu to ensure we got a wide range of flavours and it did not disappoint. The bream ceviche was sensational and I'd go back for that alone, but of course I wouldn't be able to resist the other gems on the menu like the ham and gruyere croquettes! The cocktail selection was great and the location couldn't be more central.

Still our favourite restaurant in Brighton. I am a vegetarian, my partner flexi - so many choices and nice to have delicious thought through vegetarian dishes that aren't just meat substitutes (thank you Chefs!). VGO and GF options too. Always a better visit when we get to see Leo the manager. Staff are friendly, its informal but superb food and drinks.

Great staff, beautiful location, delicious meal and good value - lots of wines by the glass - would highly recommend

I visited in Dec for dinner. The food was fabulous. I liked the small portions with the emphasis on quality vs. quantity. The service was excellent. A significant number of the seats are bar style hence if your party is more than three make your you book a table

Had a night out with the wife. Fantastic drinks and food.
