A nice restaurant can delight the trip! The hot seafood well cooked just medium raw. The waiters are social. Thanks for offer us the table tonight. Highly recommended. Will come again definitely!

Amazing special of scallops in a chicken butter sauce was the standout for me. I also had lemon sole with samphire sauce and heritage tomatoes and optional extra of burrata which was very nice. Very good unobtrusive service in very nice surroundings in the jewellery quarter. Place for a treat/special occasion. Service included.

Wow. I'm a seafood lover and this place is incredible. I had John Dory for the first time and I loved it! Thank you for the recommendation. They also gave me extra Samphire with it. So spoiled. The staff went above and beyond. Genuine, friendly, passionate people. The host order oysters (French), calamari, and iberico pork croquettes with scallop sashimi to start.. great choice. I tried their risotto and it was fabulous. Again, the kitchen was happy to accommodate a request for no mussels extra clams. I'll be back!

Hands down the best Seafood Linguini we've had in the UK! Pasta and seafood were cooked to perfection and the slightly spicy sauce was to die for! Great staff and atmosphere! Will be back for sure!

The rating should be 4.5 rather than 4. The only reason for it not being 5 was the portion of my fish dish as explained in the review below. The overall experience was outstanding. My friends and I decided to to go to Brighton for lunch. As I am Gluten Free it takes ages to find Gluten Free restaurants. I finally narrowed down 2 Sushi restaurants. When we reached there 1 of the 3 of us decided they didn't feel like Sushi and preferred local sea food being in Brighton; which in hindsight was a good call as we had a fantastic meal at Riddle & Finns. We googled Sea food restaurants and Riddle & Finns showed up. I knew it was pricey so had omitted it from my selection but since everyone was hungry we decided to take a look. When we went in it was busy but because they had a 4 course set menu for 35 pounds and the food smelt divine we decided to eat there. They had a separate Gluten Free menu which was great and were very particular about food allergy. We started with a bread basket with Mackerel Pate, Taramasalata and horse radish sauce. When they brought it and I asked if they had some GF bread, they whisked it away and brought another one with Gluten free Blinis as the bread was in the tray with the Pate and so they didn't want to risk cross contamination. The Pate was so delicious we were wondering whether to get another round! My friends got the seafood platter as a main which was 75 pounds minimum 2 people. They said it was very good with scallops, oysters, mussels, prawns & Octopus. I had the #Gluten Free Smoked Haddock fillet on a bed of Colcannon, with poached egg, Prosciutto and Champagne sauce. The Sauce was delicious, the fish very fresh BUT the fish was wafer thin. It was most likely sliced horizontally as no fish is that thin. For 29 pounds I didn't expect to eat more potatoes than fish! This was my only complaint hence the 4 star rating. I expected a chunky piece of fish. There was an offer on the Negronis for 5 pounds each and 1 round Free if you join their membership. The Negroni was served in a really small glass hence the 5 pounds but was well made. The other 2 finished with a beautiful looking dessert platter that they said was yummy but unfortunately the only #GF dessert was a truffle or Ice cream. When I tried to pick a truffle off the plate from the side without the Gluten, Dave the server said he'd bring me a fresh truffle if I wanted and not to take a chance as he took allergies very seriously. Dave rocks! He took such good care of my Gluten Free requirements. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good sea food, good service and a lovely atmosphere with candles on the table too Big shout out to our server Dave for his fantastic service.

We had the special, 3 courses for £30. It was fantastic value for money and very tasty. We slso shared the mussels which were some of the best we ever had.

I went to eat at the restaurant with my family. It was very delicious and the atmosphere was good. The staff took good care of me. When I asked about the wine, I went to pick it up. My family has eaten at the restaurant many times. But personally, I just went to eat it for the first time. I am impressed. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is good.

I had a fantastic experience thanks to David, the restaurant manager. He recommended the sea bass and sides—both absolutely outstanding—while keeping everything relaxed and never over the top. What really stood out was his attitude: friendly, genuine, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell he truly loves his job, and that enthusiasm made the whole evening even more enjoyable. David really elevated our visit. Highly recommend!
