Reviews in Shoreham-by-Sea

Into the Blue has been one of my favourite restaurants that I have taken friend to and they have always commented on how lovely the food is. Last Saturday 26/06/22 I brought a friend to Into the Blue as I had told her it was a very good restaurant. When we look at the menu I was a bit bemused at what was on the menu as it was very different to how it was a few weeks ago. I couldn't tell the size of the portions. There was a mixture of fish and meat together, if you are pescatarian then you cant eat that. I found it very difficult to find something in the starters that I liked. The menu was more like a tapas menu. I was disappointed as I had said so much about how good Into the blue was and I didn't like the menu. The staff were very pleasant, there was a good atmosphere and what we had to eat was okay. But it has left me wondering about what I do with another friend who has been to In to Blue before and is also coming to stay with me I am a not at all sure she will like it. I hope the menu gets changed very soon.

Simply fantastic meal at Into the Blue. Food was delicious, well presented, tapas style seafood. sService was great. Really cannot fault it. Will definitely be back.

Another lovely evening at Into the Blue Restaurant. A firm favourite of ours. Food was good as always and the menu offered some new choices for us to try. Service and atmosphere, just as you would want it.

Fantastic food and atmosphere, safe were wonderful! I will be eating here again.

First impression nicevand cosy not to big .. Menu good choices of fish and meat selection Portion sizes was very small....

Super evening, excellent food, friendly and helpful service!

Absolutely fantastic in every way. Amazing food, great atmosphere & service.

First time visit to Into the Blue and I was very impressed with the service, the food and the general friendly atmosphere. I would certainly be happy to return and to recommend others to visit.

Excellent food and service. Fantastic restaurant. A must go.

We come back here time and again. We always have trouble choosing from the menu as there are so many things we would like. Service is great, friendly without being intrusive.

We had the Captain’s Table which was great - we had booked for 4 of us but a couple of friends turned up unexpectedly and there was no problem with the staff laying the table to include them. The food was, as always, delicious - the fish is so fresh , the scallops wrapped in parma ham were scrumptious as were the mussels. The staff are always friendly and we will certainly return as soon as we can

Very disappointed after eating here as a treat for over a decade and loving the way the restaurant built its legacy with amazing dishes and sauces to come back as a small treat to find that the style has completely changed I was flabbergasted to say the least but thought ok let’s give it a go the food was ok but very small nowhere near its normal standard I actually felt like the place had fallen out of love with food , this used to be the best restaurant in Sussex hands down but you have stopped everything that made you that we used to have to book 3 weeks in advance there was 3 walk ins for tables when we where there I think that says it all, please go back to your old style this one is not you

1st time here and couldn’t fault anything, food lovely, service great and although very busy the atmosphere was good ! We will return for an evening meal, can’t wait !

Fantastic restaurant, warm friendly caring staff team. Great meal, fish cooked to perfection. Had a great night out

We love this restaurant and it’s been a favourite of ours for many years but with the change in menu and less focus on seafood, the meal was disappointing. There are hundreds of restaurants that offer similar foods and unfortunately there’s nothing that special now that would make us want to keep coming back. And it was expensive. The seafood was the thing that was unique, exceptional and made us return time and again. The quality of the food is always good but it’s lost what made is great.

Lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere, fab food.

We had a lovely meal, food was really well presented and tasty. Speed of service was just right too. Menu initially a little confusing as wasn't sure if it was Tapas style and how big the portions would be but we did enjoy our food and they was we ordered worked. My Eton Mess was more of a Sundae but ok. Mussels, squid and fish & chips were our favourite. It was a real shame to discover the 10% service charge had automatically been applied after I'd paid the bill. I didn't see this mentioned on the menu and it was quite small at the bottom of the bill so i just didn't notice. My error and I wasn't going to ask for a refund but paying £14 for good but unremarkable service when you're only 3 adults and 2 children seemed a bit steep. Would have been happy to leave a small tip but could be made clearer it is added, appreciate also my own error for not spotting it soon enough.
