   We arrived on time but our table wasn’t ready so we had to sit for 20 mins on bar stools to the side of the bar with staff squeezing by us - the staff were friendly but admitted that they had little catering experience before opening the restaurant and were struggling with the flow of customers - the food and wine were very good but they forgot two of our dishes and there were long gaps between them - they were kind and us our desserts for free to compensate - we found the room very noisy and a bit cramped as lots of customers ended up standing at the bar waiting for tables - it was a bit disappointing for our first visit but hopefully they will get into their stride - lovely location and great food

   Thank you for taking the time to review us Peter. I am disappointed to learn that on this occasion you left underwhelmed. You had a table booked for 8pm, arrived at 7.55, you then had to wait until 8:12 for your table, during which time you had a drink at the ledge near the bar- This is a tight space. You had to remind us about your olives and your potatoes were sent to another table. Not good from us and I apologise. You received 2 desserts at no charge for this. The long gaps- I have emailed you on this to understand more. Your meal was ordered and served in 1hr 24 minutes and your food came out in an orderly pattern. We had 4 people at the bar at 9:05 for 15 mins. I apologise if this impacted you. I wish we had more space. We would love the chance to give you a better experience.

   We absolutely loved our evening at Le Flamant. The food was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The staff and ambience were excellent and we all said we would return. The only disappointing dish was the egg ravioli. This arrived as a single raviolo which in itself represented poor value for money but given that it is a sharing plate was a little odd.

   Really enjoyed our evening out at Le Flamant, the service was impeccable, the ambience was perfect and the food was extremely good. We really enjoy the small plates dining experience as you get to taste so many wonderful flavours. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to book again.

   The food was excellent with special commendation for the lamb which melted in the mouth. Service was initially a little rushed but settled down nicely afterwards with smiling attentiveness to the fore. There was a lovely quiet buzz about the place and we can’t wait to go back.

   Very good visit overall. Outstanding service and everything arrived at the right moment. Restaurant staff were very friendly and efficient. The table was perhaps rather small but otherwise everything including the food was excellent.

   Lovely food Portion sizes even for larger plates very small Quality of food lovely but not enough!! Would go back but wouldn’t take our husbands Meat platter good but very mean not to serve with bread….. £5 extra!! Drink prices ok Models itself on Flinthouse Brighton but just not quite there yet! All our party felt wouldn’t mind paying a little more for larger plate to be a main meal. Good luck as was a lovely experience

   thanks Debbie for taking the time to review our restaurant. It is really key to our growth that we take on board the feedback and look to continually evolve. I have taken note of the points you raised and am always considering portion size and price on both the food and the drinks. We love Flinthouse but we are also conscious of having our own identity in the village and making a name for ourselves. I hope one day we can lure you back with your husbands. Tim
