Outstanding fish meal with a wonderful impact of taste and innovative cuisine. Friendly and cheerful staff in a very efficient restaurant without unnecessary frills and graces yet made into a refreshing interior setting.

Best paella ever!

Once again a lovely dining experience. Beautifully prepared fish, paired with unexpected yet truly inspired veg. Who knew skate went so well with creamed potatoes and red cabbage! Dessert also something to praise. Our favourite for meals as a couple and also with friends.

Well a lovely return to In to the Blue since we moved from the beach 5 years ago. It was lunchtime so thought, just have a main course and that would do for the middle of the day. That was untill I saw the Tempura Prawns on the starters and remembered how nice they were, so now we are 2 courses instead of one. The Monk fish main with the Indian twist was to die for. Can highly recommend. Friendly service as I remembered it hadn't changed so when our Daughter ordered a concoction for her drink which technically they didn't have after a few minutes of chucking ideas in the melting pot from all said drink was produced to everyone's satisfaction. Right that's enough feedback for now. Oh, hang on, Eaton Mess. should I? Go on then. Really will make the effort to get back down more often. Thanks for a lovely lunchtime experience. See you soon.

I have dined at Into The Blue several time over the last 4 years living in the area on various occasions with various people, and have never had a bad meal. The staff are always warm and friendly, the atmosphere is bright and lively, and it's just a delightful local seafood restaurant that is lovely for large and small groups for all occasions. It helps they stock my favourite wine also.

Fabulous as always! Chose Into the Blue to celebrate my 70th and Jacqui and the team didn't disappoint. Most of us opted for the lobster and chips which was indulgent and delicious and superb value for money. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and the staff hit just the right note. Nothing is too much trouble. It's such a treat to eat here. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Went for Sunday lunch, ordered oysters, a little bland. But pacific not native. Both lunches were excellent with lashings of gravy, I could have done with a couple more slices of beef, but for the money you couldn’t do better. Dessert was lovely too, and really lovely Anjou wine. Always great with excellent staff

We were party of seven dining at Into the Blue. Starters were delicious, we mostly had different things. For mains my husband had half lobster, two had sea bream, two monkfish, one mussels, and one dover sole. All served up beautifully and equally delicious. Some had desserts, but we were quite full. Portions are very generous. Jaqui and staff were very pleasant and attentive. Best restaurant in Shoreham, particularly if you like fish. A very pleasant evening.

I’m always blown away by this place, on this visit I had neglected to advise them about an energy I had and they couldn’t have been more helpful and more brilliant in sorting this for me, the food is exquisite the staff and lovely it’s one of my very favourite places to go

What can I say that I haven’t previously! Four of us ate on Saturday with 3 of us tackling lobster and 1 bouillabaisse . The food was exceptional! The food was abundant in quality and flavour and as always wonderfully presented. Although the price of fish/seafood has escalated ridiculously recently the prices are very favourable and total value for money. Highly recommended.

A really good first (of many we hope) experience at this restaurant. The service and food was wonderful. Thank you

We had a really wonderful evening. The food and service was perfect

We have visited a couple of times in the last few weeks, and the food has been amazing. Our most recent visit was a birthday celebration so we treated ourselves to the lobster. Beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious! Good service and nice relaxed atmosphere add to the occasion. Will definitely be back again soon.

We visited into the blue on Sunday for their new Sunday roast menu. We had a surf and turf sharing platter (seabass and pork). It was delicious and will definitely be returning. Excellent value. Well done Jaqui, Dave and the rest of the staff. Continues to be my favourite restaurant.

For some years, we have been regular, though perhaps not as frequent, visitors as Jaqui might wish. One might think that having a restaurant of this quality within walking distance would find it overrun, though at present the economic situation prevents any such possibility. Our most recent visit exploited the small dishes on the menu. We always start with Scallops because Dave prepares and presents them so well. Fish cake was most flavoursome and the squid beautifully light and tasty. An excellent wine list offered us a lovely chilled Vinho Verde. Perhaps we might increase our frequency of visits !

What a lovely restaurant! Food, wine and ambience were great! I’ll definitely be returning. Thank you, Gary, Katy and Anya

This is our favourite restaurant. A warm & attentive welcome by Marriane & outstanding food from the kitchen. Head chef, David, really understands fish and seafood and has created his own style of sauces, accompaniments and presentation. We had a memorable lunch of monkfish and bouillabaise.
