    We were served by Luke, he was energetic and very accommodating. He was confident about the menu and made us feel like we made good choices which we did because yummmmm! He was attentive when serving our bottle of wine also making sure we were always topped up. 10/10 service from Luke! The music was a little loud for our taste as we had to shout quite a bit, but it didn’t ruin the evening. Will defo be back! Thank you.

    We had a family lunch for 5 people. We went for the vegan option on the set meal. This was an absolutely fabulous set of dishes, including a vegan duck option as a middle course. We also enjoyed a couple of glasses of the Chapel Down sparkling rose - delightful. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is attentive. Gars remains the best Chinese restaurant in Brighton. We're definitely coming back.
