well what can i say about our time in the plaza it felt like forever for a resturant to charge excive amounts for warm beer and unatractive bland mush they call food then have the blind check to ask (not ask enforce) a service charge its daylight robbery i mean even dick turpin wore a mask. not here you get a strange little man hidding behind a desk and some cragy old bat who is for sure off her head we wasted 3 hours of our life to get 2 starters and 2 main courses was still starving because half was not even edible id rather stick my fork in my eye than have to endore that again.

On Sunday 27.01.08 we endured long delays, undercooked food, dodgy looking soup, rude and uncaring staff and the manager from hell. Given the choice of a free meal in The Plaza and paying for fish and chips on the Pier, I would take the Pier every time.

was in Brighton last week with all of my family to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary. We planned to have a meal for 10 people and naturally wanted to get somewhere nice and also convenient to other people who would be coming on the day so on the Sunday we decided to try this restaurant.

This had to be the biggest mistake that we have ever made. After waiting for about 30 minutes for the starters to arrive – four of them came out and we were left waiting for a further 15 minutes before some of the other ones arrived – despite asking three different people one of which was the owner. One of the party ordered soup which we were told was carrot and coriander but when it arrived it was literally a tin of chopped tomatoes thrown into a bowl with a bit of fresh coriander thrown in for good measure.

We were again left waiting for the main courses to come out and the steaks that were ordered well done came out raw and again had to be sent back. They were returned literally within a couple of minutes and had without doubt just been chucked into the microwave to finish them off.

Onto the next course and while the desserts came out we were left with no cutlery and again had to ask two people the second of which brought it over to us.

When paying the bill (which I might add was not particularly cheap) I told the waitress who had been serving us that I was not happy with the meal and wanted some form of reduction in the bill. She said I would have to see the owner who was not there at the moment but would be back shortly. Eventually after being ignored for a good half hour (and with the owner standing by the till) I went up myself and argued my case with her and her sidekick who was behind the counter.

I have never come across such an ignorant person and how she could possibly be still in business is beyond me. In the middle of talking to me she suddenly went off to deal with new customers who were coming in the door. I was gobsmacked to say the least and asked the guy behind the counter did she just walk off while I was in the middle of talking to her. He replied that she had gone to see to customers. I replied that I was also a customer and had been in the middle of talking to her.

To finish off the owner reluctantly deducted £10 off the bill which while I was not particularly happy with decided that it was better to take that and get out of the place to concentrate on trying to find a decent restaurant for our anniversary on the Tuesday.

The whole meal had taken over 5 hours. We arrived at 2.00 and left well after 7.00 p.m. and most of that time was spent either waiting for the food to arrive, for cutlery to be brought out to us or disputing the service and the bill with the owner.

I have just clicked on here was looking for the plazas telephone number to book a table for july 08. The reveiws on this site are unbeleivable. we dont get a lot of time off but when we can steel away for the weekend brighton is one of the places i like best and the plaza is brilliant. Excellent food, lovely people, manager is ALWAYS on dutyover seeing everything and we are always made welcome. music is great its a brilliant place for those in the 30-50 bracket who feel too old for night clubs but still like a great night nout with good music.

Dont take any notice of these reviews all of these people obviously had been drinking their superb cocktailsand very suffering a much deserved nhangover or memory lapse when they wrote them.

Pitman Training South has just had their Christmas party at The Plaza. if you want the best alround night out, go here! It's fun, friendly, you can do everything, - have a drink at the bar, sit down and have dinner, whilst listening to nice background music and then, just at the right time when you are fed and watered around 11pm the music cranks up and you can boogy the night away and have some really good fun. Its on the seafront, so if you are looking to entertain people who are new to Brighton, then what a great location to take them! The only way you cannot enjoy The Plaza is if you want to stay in and watch TV instead of going out and having a really good night out!. The food was lovely and the service was smashing!

Well done Plaza - what would Brighton do without you!!

It's a gem of a place!

Worst service in the world!!!!

Despite an empty room we have been kept waiting for the food, and I was shocked to see that the bread came to a staggering £22 for a party of 6!!!! We complained and the extremely rude staff said we had to pay or she would't give our credit card back!!! Appalling...

Worst restaurant in Brighton. The staff can't get a basic order right. Food is lukewarm, greasy and pretentious.
