Dinner in a modern bar and restaurant situated within the maze of the Brighton Lanes.
Upstairs is the bar where you can have a pre-dinner drink.
Downstairs is what we have come for Obvs.
There's a counter-level bar that gives you a front-row view as plates upon small plates of dishes are prepped, made, and walked from the kitchen to the table.
Their menu has quite a varied choice, from snacks and small plates to a five-course Chef’s menu.
For 2 to share 50pp / 70pp with wine pairing.
We couldn't decide what to have, so we went for the Chefs menu. Just to be awkward,we asked to change one of the dishes to a preferred alternative.
After the server had a little discussion with the chef, he nodded.
We didn't have the wine pairing as we both have different tastes. Instead of having a glass or a bottle, you can have a 375ml carafe.
One white,one red, please. This also saves on having to catch the eye of your server to order another glass.
This is a great way of dining out as you get to try different dishes off the menu that you probably wouldn't have ordered or would have missed.
Speaking of which, the very first dish was a very pretty looking Sweet Potato Crisp, Courgette, Sage, Pomegranate followed by Bream Ceviche, Orange, Coriander, Jalapeño.
Then comes a couple of tasty snacks,Sweetcorn Fritters & Ham and Gruyere croquettes.
Next up is the dish we swapped to Roasted Cod,Thai Green Curry Sauce,Vermicelli Noodle, Thai Basil.
That comes with a Radicchio, Anchovy, and Parmesan Salad accompaniment.
The main dish was Slow Roast Lamb Shoulder, crushed peas, feta, mint,Satay Squash, picked chilli, Peanuts, Coriander with the most outrageous Confit Potato, Black Pepper Aioli.
Dessert of Chocolate Parfait, Vanilla Poached Pear,
Praline Crème Diplomat.
Dark Chocolate and Brown Butter Fudge, Cocoa Nib.
Service was very friendly, and the food was spot on.
All dishes were served at pace from an open kitchen.
Time flew by as we were mesmerised watching all the busy chefs prepare the dishes.
