The Melrose in Brighton and Hove

I can't understand how this could ever be given a bad review the food was for sea food lovers heaven! Great value on both platter options will 100% be back for more!! Made a great valintines date night a'*

A step up since it was bought by Regency next door. A better standard of fish and chips and a broader menu. Good honest fish dinners and lunches at a reasonable price point.

Great place! The restaurant had a nice romantic vibe. We were served by the best hostess/waitress Oxana. Warm, friendly and welcoming service with a great professional approach to the customers, Oxana made our night an incredible experience. The food was great, the sea food platter and the home made fish soup were amazing. Prices were reasonable, the food was fresh. Thank you! We will be back again.

Superb meal , excellent service and presentation Best lobster Thermidor we have had, a huge array of fresh fish and shellfish to choose from Thank you so much

This is our favourite fish restaurant in Brighton. There are times we drive to Brighton just to eat here. Before the pandemic we used to come here many times.Lovely food. The Dover sole was excellent. And I had the dressed crab and it was delicious. I also ate half a dozen oysters and they were lovely especially with the onion vinegar.I tried the hummus and pita bread for the first time. The hummus was top notch. The pita bread was decent at best.We will surely return.

We had lunch. Lobster salard it was delicious. The staff, welcoming and attentive. Was very quiet. But with the view of the ocean and the ability to people watch, who cares... loved the food and worth a visit.

I have been to this restaurant over dozen of times.It use to be my favourite.However, it is under new ownership. Probably people next door owns it now.Service is very very poor. It took more then an hour to be served. Order was lost, so we have to give order again.Wrong order was served. When asked about it, we were told that now we need to pay extra to get original order.They did not asked for which fish we wanted either.Waiter/ cashier was a bit odd. Tried to make odd jokes. I had to go to the till to pay as no one was bringing us the bill. The waiter asked if I really want to pay, and if I have enough money in the bank to with my card.Food was not better then small takeaway type restaurants.They were refusing to accept more customers at 8pm, while restaurant was only half filled.I noticed that chef was running in between restaurant and next door cafe.I use to recommend this restaurant to everyone.Now I will recommend not to go to this restaurant.

Great friendly service and lovely food set in a traditional setting overlooking the sea. Lovely.

On one website it was advertised as the best fish and chips in town.The service was nice, the food was good for the price. The decoration inside could be improved but you have the seaview, which is nice (at least when the weather is not rainy and foggy). So yes, it's a good place to eat, especially if you're with your family. But not sure if it's the best fish and chips in town...

Absolutely fantastic place. They are always very friendly and intentive. Food are amazing. And reasonable price.
