What an exceptionally lovely night! Abe was a fantastic host as was Tanika. the food, cocktails and wine were superb. My friend who was down visiting from the Cotswolds commented it was his best place in Brighton he'd been and that he'd like to go back when he's next down. Have already recommended to a number of friends!

I can't remember our servers name but she was incredible. She couldn't do more for us. The food was brilliant, everyone loved their brunch and the staff were so accommodating considering we all ended up having suitcases with us (there were 14 of us!)

First time at Palm Court but will definitely go back. The roast beef was so tender it just melted in my mouth. My husband enjoyed the chicken and my brother relished the three meats roast. The ambience was relaxed and the staff friendly. Service charge was already added, I may be old-fashioned but I prefer to leave a tip.
