Reviews
Really nice restaurant located on the sea front. Came for a meal, first visit. Really nice relaxed vibe to the place. Service was brilliant, served by a young guy who was amazing. Great choice of both food and drinks at very reasonable prices. We had lots of dishes which were extremely tasty. It's a Belgian theme so I'll forgive the French fries on the fish and chips rather than "proper" chips.I imagine it does get busy at peak times, it should do, but we went early on in the day. Definitely worth a visit.
Great place we been here few times,coming from London,great atmosphere nice service,good beer
Amazing restaurant. Staff were brilliant and knowledgeable. Food was top quality. We shared the crab starter and it was definitely enough for two. The mains were piping hot, and amazing quality. Would definitely go again. Highly recommend it.
Probably one of the best restaurants in Eastbourne, especially if you like seafood. It is also a bar with some outside seating. A few minutes walk to the theatres so a good choice for drinks or a meal before seeing a show. The food was extremely good. A wide variety of mussels cooked in different types of sauces as well as other seafood dishes and alternatives for people not so keen on seafood. A wide variety of beers, wine and spirits which makes a change from the regular ones from most pubs. Service and staff were truly excellent. Polite and very efficient. Very impressed with this bar and restaurant and would definitely return. Highly recommended!
