Dimasis Seafood & Oyster Bar

Nice place! Walked by and the food looked yummy and well priced. Seafood tastes very fresh- that's the main selling point. Oysters and fish and chips were lovely- risotto was a real treat. Calamari could have done with some seasoning- main issue was the curry sauce was so so bad- very strange tasting and not like the traditional. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They have lots of pictures of celebrities who have visited on the way down to the toilets- definitely worth a look when you're there!

The staff were mostly inattentive. They’d walk past you or stand near you (not doing too much) and actively avoid making eye contact so they wouldn’t have to serve you. There are some obviously high mark-ups (poor value for money) in the menu. It seems a lot of it (especially desserts, burgers, breaded dishes) was just frozen and reheated. The grilled fish and starters were all ok, but that’s the least you can expect for the prices. I’d recommend going to giggling squid, the salt room, or riddle and fins over the regency.

We sat at a great table right up front with a view of the sea. Had a series of starters from the menu which has a great selection of seafood options. I would highly recommend the scollops special on the board which was cooked in a sesame chill oil and a nice twist on traditional seafood flavours. The food was all fresh and served piping hot. The staff were also friendly with prompt service.

If I could give The Regency more than 5 stars, I would . Service is impeccable , could not fault the staff in any way. They’re very attentive , fast and interactive which makes the atmosphere a more pleasurable experience . A lot of the staff were talking to us , cracking jokes and just all of them are overall nice people . The food is also incredible , the lobster and scallops were very fresh and delicious . We also had passionfruit martinis , crème brûlée , banoffee pie and Irish coffees which were all fantastic. In terms of food and staff, there is nothing to fault, it was a great experience and the price is definitely worth it as the quality of the food and drinks are brilliant. My family and I will always make sure to visit this restaurant every time we come down to Brighton.
