Went to Havana in Brighton to catch up with colleague/friend. The main strength of the place is the ambience and friendly staff. Cocktail menu quite impressive. Food was nice - with main courses around £20 it was a bit pricey. If you are a vegetarian and do not eat fish then limited options on menu. If in Brighton and looking for a place to celebrate something special then this is the place to go.

Walking past you wouldnt think Havana was particularly special, but inside the interior is lovely and at dinner there is a quatet playing creating a lovely atmosphere. The food is lovely and well presented. BUT the night was spoiled by the appalling service. They treated us as though we couldn't afford the place because we are a young couple, took ages to take plates, pour and bring us the bill. Then cheekily added 12.5 service
