Reviews in Shoreham-by-Sea

5 star

An excellent lunch: carefully cooked mussels (wine broth not overwhelming the mussels) and nice chilli squid, then a monkfish brochette and hake on a delicious celeriac purée. Very good sweet potato chips. Sophisticated cooking in an unpretentious setting, with excellent service. Looking forward to coming again.

Consistently great food & service! Feel so lucky to have ‘Into the blue’ a walk away. Check out the very delicious Oysters with lemon sorbet & sour cream!! And the very yummy Monk fish kebabs!!! Love the new menu format too; was great to be able to select own side dishes…. we will be back again & again!

We live in London but regularly travel down to this amazing little place. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection and we have never had a bad meal. We were a little sceptical on our last visit as they had changed their menu - but boy were we proved wrong. The food was incredible and the Indian spiced potatoes were one of the best things I’ve ever eaten - surpassed only by the delicious oysters and diver sole. To top all this off the staff are always kind friendly and welcoming. Do yourself a favour and try this place. You won’t be disappointed and I guarantee you’ll return again and again.

Interesting new menu - bold decision to change so differently but for me it’s Into the Blue at its best- innovative ideas with spices and flavours

We had dinner with friends. The staff, as always, were welcoming and charming. We enjoy this restaurant, and come regularly, if not so often. The menu has changed with more of an emphasis on spices. Also there were no specials. We understand that the menu will be changed regularly. As it was a rare quiet night, this was not surprising, but would be welcome. Some old regular dishes (tempura prawns and squid) remain as starters. Fish is expensive everywhere, so, not surprisingly, prices have risen a bit. I ate squid followed by cod (delicious slightly scattered with chilli). We will come again!

Pretty good, prefer straight forward fish but interesting flavours on the new menu.

Creative seafood place in Shoreham. Went for lunch and had a combination of starters & Spiced Potatoes - glad we didn't order mains - portions quite large from what we saw at the next table. Good mix of dishes - we came mainly for the seafood. Enjoyed our seafood mix and the creative approach to the flavours - middle eastern & Asian in part. Will go again. Quiet & unusual location across the town by the bridge. Service friendly & efficient.

Still a nice restaurant , however was not what we expected - prefer the old menu. There was only about 1 fish option on the menu! Due to the other fish option out of stock ! It was more “tapas” with meat dishes and having to pick sides. Had to wait a very long time for courses, and they forgot to bring our dessert where we had to ask twice . All In all a fairly disappointing evening , when previously we always normally enjoy. Think will give it a kiss here for a while .

Really enjoyed the food, however it wasn't what we expected as it wasn't stated on the website. The food quality was still lovely but we prefer the old menu as there was more traditional fish dishes available.

We really enjoyed our meal, but was so disappointed there was no fish pie, which I had come over from Eastbourne for!!!

Just love this restaurant. Informal and friendly . Food never disappoints. I love the original flavour combinations. Good value for money too

Our first visit since COVID arrived. Initially dismayed at new brief menu, the old, classic dishes absent. However, all was up to the old standard - great service and spectacular dishes. I would only ask that a few of the favourites feature, in particular the fish pie and fish soup. Good luck, you deserve it !

Excellent meal and service. All four of us are looking forward to a return visit.

Excellent meal with friends , new menu which will change monthly , really interesting fish recipes with a spiced twist that was full of flavour but not overpowering. Well worth a visit for food with a difference. This restaurant never disappoints with first class service.

Perfect as always!

We have recently moved to this area and love seafood ,after a search on the Internet, Into the blue came up and we are so glad we booked it. Service was good ,food excellent. Will definitely be returning regularly. Great meal thank you.
