Socialite Restaurant And Bar – The Lanes Brighton

Great new Brighton spot. Perfect cocktails, excellent food and the best service. Best thing about it was unlike most cocktail bars in Brighton you don’t have any riff-raff in there and the people are all very nice.

Modern and cool restaurant. I'm a solo diner, I was offered a table nest some steps, but I asked and was moved immediately to a better spot from my point of view. Able to provide cocktails not on their limited list. Food was really great for me, although it seems to be big on steaks. Limited selection of wine by the glass, but I enjoyed my choice. Disappointed not able to get a glass of prosecco. But did enjoy my pre dinner Aperol spritz. Music is lound and good. I enjoyed it. Service was excellent my waiter Edward was very personable. I'd definitely visit again.

Fabulous service, gorgeous food. But I think slightly overpriced needs to be 20 percent cheaper all round and then I would go much more frequently

Less than average food, for example cod with polenta comes without the polenta. Dreadful service. Banging music so you can 't hear or speak. Obviously designed around the owners vision but targeting 20 year old cocktail drinkers. On the plus side, guarantee it won 't be there in 12 months because those who can afford the price tag, £200 for 2, won 't return a second time. And those who 'luv the vibe ' won 't have the money. Boom!

Mealy prawns in the prawn cocktail and while the meat in the mixed grill was fine, peppercorn sauce was essentially gravy with a few peppercorns, (and portions tiny/not worth £30+ . Long wait between meals (we arrived at 8:30 and didn’t receive mains until 10pm, but staff were accommodating and followed up promptly. Overall good service but let down by the underwhelming food and club ambiance.
