"Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Etch by Steven Edwards in Brighton, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in recent memory. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with modern yet comfortable décor that set the tone for a truly elevated dining experience. The menu, a celebration of seasonal ingredients and innovative cooking techniques, offered a delightful blend of creativity and finesse. Each dish was expertly crafted, balancing bold flavors with delicate textures. Standout moments included the scallops cooked to perfect and the marmite infused bread, where the precision in cooking was evident in every bite. The use of locally sourced produce added a fresh, vibrant touch to each course, and the presentation was nothing short of stunning. Service was attentive without being intrusive, with staff offering knowledgeable recommendations and explaining the inspiration behind each dish. The wine pairings, too, were thoughtfully chosen, complementing the flavors of the meal beautifully. What impressed me most, however, was how Etch manages to combine a fine dining experience with a relaxed atmosphere, making it the perfect spot for both special occasions and casual indulgence. In short, Steven Edwards has created a restaurant that not only excels in flavor but also offers an experience that feels both personal and extraordinary. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brighton who appreciates exceptional food and great service.
