    What a fantastic surprise dining at Hotel Brighton after a movie at Palace 2 doors down. We happened to be there on $25 steak night - perfectly cooked, delicious 250gm porterhouse with a lightly dressed green salad & chips ( and mushroom sauce ) . Compliments to the chef - it was fabulous and we will be back. I rarely order steak out as it has often been overpriced and overcooked! You won’t be disappointed! Staff were super helpful to with my 90year old mother-in-law. Thankyou!

    Place is great. Easy to park in the side street. Nice food. Not sure if front door was forgotten to be opened, or locked still? But we couldn’t get in. Which was a small embarrassment easily overlooked. We used the back entrance.

    Food took ages to arrive, and the dining room was freezing cold. Everyone in there was wearing their jackets. Steak was decent, parmas ok. Entree was a disaster and sent back. Servers were friendly and attentive. Would recommend if the food was more consistent.

    Just what we were after for a pre-theatre show. Quick, efficient, friendly, tasty and reasonably priced. We will definitely come again.

    Saturday March 1st 2025 a reunion lunch at the Hotel Brighton. I had previously booked for 10 ladies, but when I arrived I said, "we may be 12." He said, "no worries, we will work it out." The food was above and beyond, considering there were some fussy eaters. The service was extremely patient with a group of 'old girls' having lunch. The staff catered for our every whim! A huge thank you to Riley and all the staff, the chef (delicious food) and the quiet music. Hope to see you all again next March, (maybe before), for the 3rd year in a row.
