    This is my local and go to restaurant and am proud of it. Never disappoints me. My daughter has food allergies and I never have to worry about that when I am at Bill’s. Brilliant food and the staff are friendly, helpful and entertaining, in a word. …. Amazing. Thank you. Lucy

    I went there twice, both for lunch only with my boyfriend and for brunch with my boyfriend and two friends. In both cases we appreciated the service and the food, but also the kindness of the waiters in keeping our big luggage. I totally recommend and I think I will be back there once again in Brighton

    We was waiting about 45 minutes for any of our food to come out. I’m all fairness they did take off the cost of our started. Which had to come out with the main due to their error. However I think it’s a bit pricey for the quantity you get, the food is okay. Steak was good however chips lacked anything. Drinks were expensive for a small amount and kinda regretting booking this for Valentine’s Day

    The service was good but our expectations of the food were higher. We ordered a chicken main, but this was not up to scratch and the waitress helped with a replacement main (burger). The mini doughnuts as desert would have been even better if they had been freshly made.

    Another superb visit to Bills in Brighton.. it’s an absolute pleasure to come to Brighton and have a relaxing breakfast. We’ve never had a bad experience with anything. Food is superb, service, staff and customer care is even better. It has to be said that Tosh is the Star of the show and is a big part of the reason we keep coming back. See you all real soon Gary and Claire

    We had a lovely lunch, but even though our waiter was friendly he could not help me when I asked if there was a dressing on my salad also my daughter wanted the cheese fondue on the side of her burger and he did not think this was possible, the main thing that marred the whole experience though was the constant draft from the door being open and shut and people queueing out the door with the door open, there is a curtain there but it was not in use, we were not even as close to the door as you could get either!

    Lots of staff per ratio of customers so the service should have been more personal and special Strange menu with the chicken on mash and fried chicken on truffle Mayo with gravy, just wierd. My wife has a nut allergy, and it’s started well cos she scanned the barcode to get the details but then they rather carelessly served her a dessert that she didn’t order. Could have been a disaster

    Beautifully presented restaurant, we stopped here for breakfast and it didn't disappoint. Food was cooked perfectly, eggs were of a high quality. Our only fault was that we were sat right next to the kitchen and it was very warm. Would definitely return! Would love to try for dinner.

    Service is slow. We arrived 30 mins. early, allowed us to sit however will take our order on the time of our reservation. When we are seated, they are asking for our order even if its not yet our reservation time. So might as well not mention of not taking our order on the first place. After ordering, our food arrived after 30 - 45 min. Then after eating they take 30 min prior giving our bill.

    Had a really nice time However a little disappointed after asking for a very well done steak and getting a third of the way through it and discovering it was only medium. Which unfortunately prevented my wife from continuing her meal. Dispute this the manager did discount the steak meal from the bill. Usually we here enjoyed our evenings out at Bills and will return in the future
