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.

Food is good. It was practically empty unusual for a Saturday lunch time. Only one person serving so kept having to ask for ordering etc.
