Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Hotel Brighton offers a delightful dining experience with "sensational" food and "quick friendly service." Patrons rave about the "best steak ever" on Steak Night and "exceptional" pumpkin ravioli. While the atmosphere is inviting and the meals consistently well-received, occasional service hiccups are noted. Overall, it's a "consistently good" choice for enjoyable meals.

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.

Regularly go for the Steak Night at Hotel Brighton. Faultless outing ....quick friendly service, best steak ever as well as the top quality salad and chips. Can not fault the quality and the price is incredible. Not eaten a better steak even when being charged $40-$50 in other places.

Ideally a SENIORS meal offer would better the clients. I also think when the steak sandwich comes out, please don't put a serviette underneath. I cut the sandwich up & ended up eating the serviette too! The meals are great, I just think smaller options for older people. I know a lot of clubs do (with pokies) & a lot don't do, but you would definitely get more people dining. Thank you

Cane here for my son’s birthday with a party of 7. The pumpkin ravioli was exceptional! I would return just for that… sadly the service was terrible. Way understaffed and the only waitress preferred to look at her phone at the bar rather than worry about the customers. Overall disappointing :(
