    I'm very sorry Barbara C had an adverse experience at this restaurant because my wife and I had a…read morerelentlessly and unequivocally positive visit. Every aspect went well: courteous reception; choice of where to sit (we opted for the small garden, it being a warm night, which was delightful); very friendly, efficient service and above all delicious, imaginative food and drink. The format is rather like tapas in that you order 2-3 dishes per person plus one or 2 side orders, but the helpings are more substantial than the normal tapas plates. They don't have a paper menu, just a blackboard on which the day's offerings are listed, so I took a photo of that with my smartphone and we looked at it in comfort at our table. We had some mackerel on beetroot and carrot vegetables, tomatoes and ricotta, VERY delicious kerala chicken and an equally delicious mixed leaves and vegetable salad. The kofta balls were good, but relied for their taste on the very good sauce rather than having any intrinsic flavour. The skinny fries with aioli were very good indeed. We washed it all down with a bottle of the house white, a very good Falanghina, and without us asking they put water on the table - I wish all restaurants did this as a matter of course. The atmosphere was nicely informal but characterful and the tables close enough to be gemuetlich but far enough apart to be discreet. A black cat wandered around being friendly. The whole atmosphere was very pleasant and enjoyable. We'll definitely go again when we are next in Lewes.

    I am absolutely thrilled to have stumbled upon this restaurant. I have been twice in the past week…read moreand have been completely thrilled with both the food and the service. The first time I had a perfectly cooked ribeye steak with a lovely bone marrow butter. The second time I had a pulled pork ramen. I have to admit, as a huge ramen fan I think this might be the best I have ever had. The staff in front of house as well as in the kitchen are incredibly friendly and helpful. The menu is quite small, which in my eyes is probably one of the biggest reasons this "farm to table" hot spot is doing everything right! If you have a chance do go out of your way to take a visit. You will not be disappointed!
