Reviews in Shoreham-by-Sea

First dined here more than 15 years ago when music biz friends took us , explaining it was a somewhat surprising‘destination seafood restaurant’. They weren’t wrong , it was a fantastic experience. Somehow, I had never returned - until Friday night, because now I am fortunate to live a mere stone’s throw from its door! It looks just as unprepossessing from the outside and still feels reassuringly un-trendy on the inside. The thing is the natural, unstuffy warmth of the staff (of a pleasing age range) and the delicious dishes. We chose from the specials board although the main menu is enticing in itself (including non-fish options). We shared a wonderfully textured warm octopus salad, my friend opted for crab main which he said was excellent, while I had sea bass tacos which were zinging with fresh flavours and served with sweet potato fries triple fried to perfection. We didn’t have dessert but our neighbours were delighted with theirs! The atmosphere was ringing with joy, laughter and simple pleasures; blissfully unpretentious. And the bill? Just over £40, including service. Ok we only had soft drinks (and a courtesy large carafe of tap water was brought to the table immediately) but with the quality of the food , the love and knowledge that goes into its selection, cooking and presentation, I’d say that’s remarkably good value.

1st visit after I’ve lived in Shoreham for 20 years!! Why I waited I don’t know but def worth the wait, absolutely fantastic food prepared beautifully and tasted amazing, the fruit de mar was to die for, well worth the visit and I won’t be waiting 20 years until the next visit…

We tried here for the first time recently......amazing. The food was every bit as good as we’d expected, if not better. The specials were incredible and the right balance of departure from their regular menu which is fantastic already. We’ll definitely be making this as one of our regular places to eat.

Visited yesterday, 21st September 2021 to enjoy lunch with friends celebrating my 70th birthday. The choice of specials were very interesting and two of the party went for the smoked haddock scotch egg, which both agreed was very tasty. As someone who requires a gluten free meal it’s great that I can have tempura prawns and I followed this with the special that was sea bass, again it was absolutely delicious. Having been the previous week to a 1 Michelin Star restaurant in Horsham I can safely say my meal yesterday compared favourably if not better to that. Your food is amazing.

First visit there since moving to Shoreham Beach. Wow wow wow! What an amazing meal. The chef's perform miracles with the flavours to delight the taste buds. Not the cheapest but also not pretentious prices either that we see in the all chandeliers and no flavour restaurants...... I had the specials which included a smoked haddock scotch egg followed by sea bass in the most amazing creamy leak sauce and shellfish bisque, which I have to say blew me away ! The peanut and chocolate tart topped off the evening. The steak (surf & turf) was reported to be the best steak even eaten in Sussex by my partner!!!! Even the folks who live near La Rochelle in France,renowned for its seafood restaurants said it's one of the best seafood restaurants they have been to this side of the channel! Amaaaaazing place. You have to go!

Excellent. Delicious fresh food. Can’t wait to return!

Just moved to shoreham have eaten here several times, food great service charming, and incredible value.

We love Into the Blue, the food is fantastic and service is superb also. We’ve never had anything but amazing food each time we’ve visited. The Fish and Seafood is always fresh, and the specials are just that! My favourite of the minute, Smoked Haddock Scotch Egg with Piccalilli is mind blowingly good!

Despite being full to the brim there was nothing to complain about. As usual the food was excellent quality and well worth the money. The service was exceptionally well organised and pleasant

Scallop starter excellent. Moules good but could be larger. Sea Bass a tad overcooked. Could have done with some frites to enhance the thai sauce or even noodles.

Fabulous lunch, fresh produce, great service, lovely thank YOU

First time back at the restaurant for at least 5years the whole experience was great, food and service was excellent shall be back before another 5 years.

We had a very nice meal here at Into the Blue this week. I had the vegetarian starter which was good and then the cod which was delicious. My husband had the scallops, which were very nice, though I think more than 3 scallops would represent better value for money. He had the sea bass which he said was very good. We like this restaurant and have dined here a number of times.

Great food, in a great atmosphere and very friendly service. I will be returning shortly with friends to treat them to some tasty seafood.

Again a lovely meal and great service. A treasure!

This Restaurant offers a great choice of dishes on it's menu with Daily Specials. The staff are very attentive.

Our 2nd visit and again not disappointed. Well cooked and presented and perfect service. Can not fault Into The Blue. We will return.

We visited Into the blue on Wednesday night and the food was fantastic. We both had the Sea bass from the specials menu and it was cooked to perfection. The whole meal was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and atmosphere was very relaxed, we have already recommended to family who stay close by and hope to be back next time we are staying locally.
