The Channel View Restaurant

The food in the restaurant is good. The chef clearly has talent and the service on the night we dined here was very professional - better than some restaurants in Brighton/Hove. We had a Groupon and the value with this offer was very good. You can't get away from the fact that this restaurant is in a hotel though and I feel the management could improve the experience if they want non residence to eat here. Firstly put table cloths on the table. Have some background music. Dim the lighting and cover over the fire door -just a net or curtain. The atmosphere in the restaurant does not make for a special occasion due to lack of the above. The food in taste and presentation is great. There is parking on site if you're lucky enough to get a space - but you can park opposite on the seafront. We drank in the bar first and if I went again I'd drink elsewhere first - purely because it is so obviously a hotel bar. Maybe background music; comfortable chairs; dimmer lighting - it just needs atmosphere as the staff were faultless

Used a Groupon voucher and had some lovely food. There was only us and one other couple on the mid week evening we visited. Such a shame as the food is great and the service professional. You can not mistake you are in a hotel and this may put people off as there is a slight lack of atmosphere although for a catch up with friends or a family gathering ( when allowed) this is a good venue. I wish this venue well as the food deserves more custom and even without a groupon the prices are fair as the portions are generous. The house red was good.

We went there with a couple of mates, it was two for one so a pretty good deal - the atmosphere was nice and the music not too loud but our friends found there was too much ice in their cocktails. The bit out the back is lovely and a great atmosphere to hang out with mates in! Only bad points is the ice and the very limited selection of tunes available to put on!

Food is fantastic with good quality of food (produce) and large portions served by great staff,though at moment due to coving no food service at night though we allow take away food outlets to deliver and we can give a loan of cutlery and crockery as for during day till 1pm a small sandwich menu available

Surprisingly good food for the atmosphere, you go inside and it feels like you are just about to have an experience similar to the first season of Gordon Ramsays kitchen nightmares. This is not the case. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food good for the price range, my mate and I had a Groupon discount so things were super cheap. I would not recommend this place for a 'fine dinning' experience but if you just want a quick cheap meal that's pretty decent I'd recommend provided the discount.
