Reviews in Shoreham-by-Sea

I went here for lunch with a friend and from the moment we arrived we were greeted with a friendly smile. The service was fabulous and the food... even better!!! Can't wait to return soon.

I love the atmosphere and the food was amazing. Service was excellent. The wine is on the pricey side. The only thing I would change would be that the tables for two in the window are very close together. Tricky to have a romantic meal when you're cosied up tightly with the neighbours!

Divine food, so many different exciting flavours which married together perfectly! All such friendly staff who enjoy your food experience with you. Thank you Into The Blue for a great Birthday Party

Wow! What an amazing afternoon at "Into The Blue". I last went to the restaurant over 10 years ago (and the food was amazingly fresh). Then came to Shoreham, from London for a joint birthday meal. Totally blown away by the food, presentation, ambience, everything! My father in law who is a total foodie said "It is the best seafood meal he has had in over 5 years". Thank you to the chefs and the serving team for making it an incredible and special experience.

Introduced more of my friends to this delight of a restaurant. As always, it never fails to deliver and surprise (them, not me). This time we had the Cataplana, Haloumi skewers, oh and sweet potato fries...... flavoursome, fresh, scrumptious (truly!). Love the waiting staff of all ages ( so refreshing); friendly, warm, attentive. So lucky to have ITB on my doorstep!

Best food I have ever had at Into The Blue, nice buzzy atmosphere on a Thursday evening

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!

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.

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!
