Bar staff are atrocious. I wish I got the girls name who told me you booked the table not the seats. Never again and where I can I will bad mouth your venue. Word of mouth is worth a thousand words.

According to various internet sites sinewy meat caused by low cut, poor quality meat. As both meals had porterhouse steaks which is a better cut of meat, I'm at a loss to know why my steaks at the Hotel Brighton over the last month is constantly sinewy. What has changed?

Upon paying the staff member charge us the wrong amount, almost insisting we had eaten the things on her list. Another person came to help, but we were ;left embarrassed by the experience, along with feeling we were unimportant, and invisible. It did spoil the usual good night we have comes to enjoy in your dining room. Best Jan Street.
