    Went to the steak night. Steak smallish, but delicious, and cooked as requested. Good chips too.

    First time we have been here. Food was hot, tasty, well presented & good portions. Staff were attentive without being annoying. Love how I don't have to line up to order. Well priced. Will definitely return.

    Absolute worst experience of my existence. Why bother to book for 16 people when there are not 16 stools to sit on? 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.

    Steak less sinewy than previous week. I had a similar meal in the near by Camden Hotel last week, steak was not sinewy at all. 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?

    Great food and quick service. I went to trivia night on a Wednesday and the atmosphere was great, Alex the host is very personable. $25 pot and parma on a Wednesday was a bonus too.
