Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

Great food and great service!

Food excellent freshly prepared fresh flavours Dover Sole best I have tasted

Food was very nice, had the new sharing meal, which was very enjoyable, but think it should have had been all fish dishes as found it strange to have a chicken dish with it ( just my opinion ) Also on main menu, found it difficult to see wether there were starters as well as mains as didn’t state on menu Service attentive Have been several times, and would definitely go again for special occasion as quite pricey

We went to Into The Blue as a special treat with my parents, my partner and I had been over a year ago and loved it and unfortunately we came away disappointed. The portions were small and expensive. As the only fish restaurant on Ferry Road I’d have thought they’d like to have regulars who come time and time again for the great tasting food. Instead you come away much poorer and underwhelmed and disgruntled by the portion sizes. They do deliver good flavours, but the poor portions are what you talk about afterwards. We enjoyed the Sussex bouillabaisse, but it came in a small bowl, packed with fish but more soup please. We had to ask for bread to go with it. It was a light lunch at best. I’m afraid, unless they address the portion sizes we won’t be returning which is a real shame.

We've been enjoying delicious meals at Into the Blue for some years and have visited twice since the new menu format. The quality and cooking of the food is as wonderful as ever but we are not keen on the way the meals are now presented, with the vegetables being served separately . We find the veg choices, (altho tasty) don't always compliment the mains. Also, the same menu (with few changes) is offered each time, meaning we would have to repeat some meals if we visited frequently. All in all we prefer the previous menu with the Specials board . We realise that producing those 'works of art' was hard work but they were much appreciated and enjoyed.

We’ve always loved Into the Blue so we were sorry they have changed the dining format. It’s now “small plates”,so it’s difficult to envisage how much or how little you are ordering. Our chilli squid lacked chilli and was rather average .Main courses were ok (small plates of moules and bass )but had to order potatoes and fries as another small plate which seemed pointless and made it more expensive. Lucky we didn’t order any other veg. A bit underwhelmed this time,and felt our £65 lunch (no desert),could have been better spent elsewhere. Not sure why they changed a winning formula?

A fab, fun and welcoming restaurant! Excellent service from the moment we arrived. We loved the cocktails and the food was delicious! My friends and I will definitely be returning very soon. :-)

We have always loved Into The Blue. Unfortunately on our recent trip the evening menu was more limited than usual with many favourites not on the evening menu anymore. The cost was much greater (having to add fries, veg etc on top of the cost of the fish/meat). Food was as good as always but value for money has disappeared. The staff as always were superb. Sadly we decided that we wouldn’t be rushing back.

Absolutely Beautiful..!!! Really Loved it here and can’t wait to come back. Friends recommended us and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Staff were Great, Food was out of this World and I’ve already recommended others.

I went to the restaurant in a foursome Saturday evening as we go there as often as we can It never fails on anything Food drink & service second to none & very reasonably price for the quality

Great seafood, the Dover Sole and salsa verde dressing was sublime, as was the starting squid & pork skewer. Always feel very welcome and enjoy the night out - excellent venue

The food and service here are amazing! We had the charcuterie board and the mushroom and halloumi burger and they were both so good. Maybe one of the best burgers I've ever had! The young guy servicing us was super friendly and helpful too. Very good service

Brilliant as ever. Some of the best food in town

Disappointed. Small portions, expensive and pretty basic. Needed to add side orders, otherwise if you ordered the steak, you just got the steak. No chips or anything. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

This was Our first time visiting Into the Blue, but will definitely not be our last…….. Subtly located in the parade of shops, once inside the the sliding door it was like an aladdins cave of delight. We had Great Corner seat over by the Kitchen and were able to see the Chefs Hustling away. The Food was Amazing and full of flavour, we went for the Tapas Style dishes, the Tempura Prawns were a personal favourite, so light & fluffy! The Staff were attentive and friendly especially the chefs who had a friendly wave for us on our departure. Thank you so much & look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fabulous meal fabulous environment great service we will be back

Excellent breakfast, great service, superb food. We are moving to Crawley Down later this year, Can see us becoming regulars at the Carriage soon… ….

Absolutely delicious lunch on Wednesday at Into The Blue. Innovative menu which all four of us loved. Prompt and friendly service. Relaxed restaurant which has been enjoyable at every visit.
