    Food took ages to arrive, and the dining room was freezing cold. Everyone in there was wearing their jackets. Steak was decent, parmas ok. Entree was a disaster and sent back. Servers were friendly and attentive. Would recommend if the food was more consistent.

    Just what we were after for a pre-theatre show. Quick, efficient, friendly, tasty and reasonably priced. We will definitely come again.

    Saturday March 1st 2025 a reunion lunch at the Hotel Brighton. I had previously booked for 10 ladies, but when I arrived I said, "we may be 12." He said, "no worries, we will work it out." The food was above and beyond, considering there were some fussy eaters. The service was extremely patient with a group of 'old girls' having lunch. The staff catered for our every whim! A huge thank you to Riley and all the staff, the chef (delicious food) and the quiet music. Hope to see you all again next March, (maybe before), for the 3rd year in a row.

    Food was beautiful. Highly recommended. I need 50 words so a little gripe was no drink service for the first 15 minutes of sitting down so I had to go the bar. I did ask the guy seating us as I was happy to go to the bar but he said table service. Seriously no issues with it because the food and table service were sensational

    It was a quiet lunch which gave us opportunity to talk. The staff were genuine, helpful and the service was ‘just right’. The barramundi was very fresh and the accompanying cooked veg w sauce were tasty and interesting. My partners chicken schnitzel was not freshly made, probably pre-crumbed but the salad was fresh and clean, and the chips were freshly made and deliciously crispy. I will choose to go back for lunch because it’s the third time I’ve been and it has been consistently good.
