Reviews in Brighton and Sussex

First visit and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Superb food and service, a lovely vibe too. I had the Dover Sole and it was as good as it gets. Perfect from start to finish. Thank you Jackie for a wonderful and memorable evening. We are not local but will be back for more !

We had a great meal as always and this is our favourite restaurant. The new menu is brilliant and our meal was delicious also such a friendly atmosphere and looking forward to our next visit. We recommend this restaurant to all our friends.

We were well looked after by the staff. The food was excellent and we will return. Thankyou for making us very welcome and a fantastic lunch

The way the menu works has changed, but we needn’t have worried. Excellent food, as always. Our favourite restaurant, so why would we not go there for any special occasions!

Tasty breakfast which was avocado on toast with poached eggs. Nice oat milk llatte ( I had 3) Great friendly service and good price. Thank you

We tried all the fishy places, Salt, Riddle and Finns etc. This place has the best food hands down. Never disappoints

Have been coming here for years as our favourite restaurant but we were disappointed with our first visit this year and the new menu. We were told some dishes were tapas but it was not clear which that applied to. Only about a third of the menu applied to “fish” the rest was either vegetarian or meat. Please bring back the seafood menu you were famous for.

We've been coming here for years. The new menu is a disappointment. It had to be explained to us and certainly the tapas style wasnt clear and the bowls of veg and potato were very good but not really tapas style. My fish pie took around half an hour to produce and being told afterwards that that's how long it takes was disappointing. It was so hot this time and hard to taste. Bring back the old menu! It was great as a fish restaurant.

Thursday lunch time. Restaurant was cold, Waitrose very good. I had the chicken wrap hardly any tzatziki, tiniest piece of cucumber and had run out of coleslaw. Looking at lunch menu a lot of choices had coleslaw. The waitress saw I was looking for tzatziki in wrap and brought me extra. So dry and dull. Very disappointing. Sent message via the website with my comments but no reply.

My first visit to Into the Blue, friends and colleagues told me this was a place I should go and try. Not disappointed. Staff were very welcoming when we arrived, and the menu was presented and drinks orders taken. The food on offer was very different from what I had seen before, it actually made me excited to get the meal in front of me. It was delicious; I had the Cataplana with a side of rice. Couple of drinks and desert and the bill did not sour the lovely taste in my mouth.

My husband, our friends and I went a delicious meal on Saturday night. The new menu is so exciting and different. The men opted for a beer, from local brewery, Hand Brew in Worthing, which they were very impressed with. .We started with humus, flatbread, olives and I had scallops, they were melt in the mouth. Our friends are vegetarians and were very pleased with the numerous veg dishes. I had a whole Dover sole, which was wonderful, cooked to perfection, with baby roast potatoes and a cabbage veg dish, and my husband went for the Cataplan, a kind of fish stew with cod and prawns in a paprika tomato sauce, he added a side of rice. We were so full up with our mains we didn't have room for dessert, or coffee.

We’ve been coming here for years. The best fish and chips for miles around. This time though the menu has changed - only two things possible to eat - cod and chips ( which I have to say the fish was fresh but smaller than previously and the chips were not as good as previously) or the Dover Sole. No Scampi which is my mothers favourite. I always thought Into the Blue was primarily a fish restaurant with a few specials not an overseas type of restaurant with a couple of traditional offerings. Will look again when the menu changes, but until then will have to go elsewhere.

Fantastic meal! Haven’t been for while due to covid, shame about the seafood platter but the new concept and choices were lovely. Also the new decor and overall upgrade of the decor was really really lovely. Won’t leave it too long before we visit again, superb!

We were disappointed with our most recent visit. Two of us had the cod in batter, one of which was extremely small with a small handful of fries. More like a child's meal but with adult pricing.

Loving the new menu, as always Dave and his team deliver delicious food and flavours. Great service and always a warm welcome. Would definitely recommend xx

Having been a few times before, this time was disappointing. 3 of the 4 of us had cod in batter which was lacking flavour, not crispy and rather tepid. Vegetarian dish and vegetables were very good.

Amazing fish restaurant located on Shoreham Island, I have been here 3 times over the past few months and the food menu is fantastic with varying specials being offered on those occasions the menu changes which is great so you do not get bored. The various dishes offered are of high-quality fresh ingredients, from spiced monkfish to yummy homemade fish pie. This is a place you cannot afford to miss out on! The ambience of the restaurant is warm and cosy with very friendly helpful staff plus the prices are great compared to other more expensive fish restaurants located in Brighton and Hove.

If you want a special meal - this is the place to go. Every bite a delight
