Found R&F by accident (had not seen reviews on TA) when wandering around on a Saturday/Sunday hotel stay and theatre trip to Brighton. Service was really attentive and friendly plus great food and wine. Good atmosphere although I am not completely convinced about the couples side by side seating arrangments they insist on. When we asked about this the very... More

Yes, I'm awful as I really let trip advisor dictate when I book restaurants - hence we had to go to Riddle and Finns given all the rave reviews. I've got nothing bad to say. We ordered the obligatory oysters and champagne and the waitress was helpful. But have I got anything to rave about....no! We had to share a... More
