The service was of a very high standard. From the moment we were greeted at the door to leaving the restaurant. Didn’t get their name but the person that hosted our table and looked after us was incredibly friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. The food…such a good quality. A bit on the pricey side however, this is reflected in the quality. Would highly recommend.

We had a family lunch for 5 people. We went for the vegan option on the set meal. This was an absolutely fabulous set of dishes, including a vegan duck option as a middle course. We also enjoyed a couple of glasses of the Chapel Down sparkling rose - delightful. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is attentive. Gars remains the best Chinese restaurant in Brighton. We're definitely coming back.

Food was great, service was just a little patchy in areas but it was a very busy Friday night so to be expected. Catered for me, gluten free, with some delicious alternatives to the main menu which everyone else said was fantastic. Relaxed eating, more than three hours and no rush to move you on.. Five very happy diners! Will definitely be going again.

Service very good. Food also. The only improvement would be to find a way of keeping the food warmer - it cooled very quickly especially the fish served on a normal plate.
