I really did not want to write a bad review for this place but never have I just wanted to pay and leave so quickly. I have eaten here once it was lovely, so lovely I booked a table for my mother and friend when they came down to Brighton. But my recent experience was just terrible. On arrival to the beautiful restaurant we were greeted well and given a table we wanted outside. We then ordered our starters, the bread basket and calamari. 3 types of bread came out, one was very hard and the only nice one was the seeded bread, my calamari was absolutely wonderful and the only reason I'm not giving a 1 star review. Not to mention the portion was superb, so much that I kept it on the table which I would soon find out was a life saver. Our mains arrived, my friends green curry with tofu (which we later found out was charged an extra £2 for tofu instead of chicken , no mention of this on the menu) and what was meant to be the baleinese caramel sauce with tofu and rice. When the food arrived it looked and smelt lovely, I started on my vegetables which were so hard I was embarrassed to be attacking my plate with so much force just to eat some broccoli. I mentioned to my friend that my tofu looked so meat like and how impressive it was. In the mean time my friend was eating what I would say was the most bland and tasteless meal I have tried in years! Anyway back to my meal, after a few minutes I go to try this odd tofu and realise it was the pork! After double checking with my friend we confirmed it was not the tofu but pork. I informed my waitress and she apologised and took it away. Thankfully I still had half of my starter to nibble on whilst I waited🤞. It just kept being one thing after another going wrong from there. My friend was painfully trying to eat her food which just had cubed out of the packet tofu thrown in there. Eventually the manager comes out and gives the same apology, asks if I would like to change the meal, I just ask again for what I ordered. Then the waitress comes over to offer something complimentary, perhaps a cocktail etc... I don't drink so I just asked for some orange juice. When the orange juice arrived we asked this waitress for some salt for my friend and she said ok. We never saw this salt and to be honest, had given up on these meals. My meal arrived, lots of fried lovely tofu, the same hard tender stems and some rice all drenched in not the same sauce I originally tasted but now what seemed like just soy sauce. Anyway I slowly attempt to cut my veg, and drain my rice to eat. I think at this point the only problem was how much sauce there was, it was very overpowering. Not to mention I think they over compromised with the amount of tofu and it just went to waste. I didn't finish my meal which is something I never do, as with my friend, but she took hers home to cook more and season. The bill arrives. They took off my meal understandably, but the 'complimentary' orange juice was on there for £5!!?? I knew it was a mistake but it was the icing on the cake to make me write this. Not to mention the extra £2 for tofu, making that meal £16. We didn't have the energy to mention this as we realised after we mentioned the mistake about the drink. After a long wait for the bill to be corrected we paid and left promptly. I don't know what happened this night, and I wouldn't say this review is representative to most peoples experiences, but this was mine last night and it was truly terrible.
