   Great meal. They kindly accommodated a slightly larger party. The food was delicious and the cocktails good. Service was friendly. Due to the larger party size we sat down later than we should have and so didn't have enough time for additional food or dessert but that wasn't the restaurant's fault. The cost is high but for the quality and selection of food and drink and service, it definitely felt worth it. Thank you again!

   Seats were dirty. Cocktails were not great. Hair in in one of the dipping sauces - took ages to get new sauce. Chicken wings were raw. Manager apologised, and gave a discount which was appreciated. But would not return.

   Great venue in the heart of Brighton with colourful decor. Very lively place. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food is really good, unfortunately at least 3 of the dishes we ordered weren't available and the cocktail I wanted was also unavailable so we had to choose something else. Then they brought out a couple of our dishes and forgot about the rest. When we reminded them after about an hour they served us quite quickly. That did spoil the experience. If it wasn't for that then it would have been great. I expected some kind of discount for the poor service or at least some complimentary drinks but this wasn't offered.

   Where to start? It's rare to find an establishment that gets it completely right: decor, lighting, music, staff, and food, glorious food, prepared with care, insight and innovation, and served with friendly flair. Blossoms is a gorgeous retreat from the norm, offering all of the above and more. Our principal server was Sarah, a delightful woman who knew her menu, kitchen and chef, and professionally represented what was to come. But wait! I am remiss! The cocktails! My wife started with a Miso-Rita, which as the menu promised was a Japanese-infused variation on the well known theme. It was delicious, with soft tones that represented the five flavours: salty, sweet, sour, bitter and umami. I went with a Lucky Cat (perfect name for the ideal drink), which stole the show. Piquant, rich, a fabulous whiskey finish with a sourish hint, it was a warm bubble bath for the palate. My only lament is how quickly it disappeared. Sarah coached us through a delightful medley of small plates, each worth taking the time to taste, analyze and savor: edamane, Japanese-style fries (the Bonito flakes were a splendid touch!), braised aubergine with soy finish, two bao buns (my wife, the remarkable mushroom version; me, the delicious crispy duck), a lovely dragon hosomaki roll, and tender stem broccoli with a tangy tahini/soy sauce so delicious I asked Sarah to beg the chef for the recipe (she agreed to share most of her secrets, but like all good chefs, not 100% of the recipe. Some secrets must be closely guarded, with complete justification.) I recommend Blossoms 100% for any occasion, a casual drink with a friend, lovers' night out, noteworthy occasion, or just a drop-in after work for a nice drink, great music and the warm embrace of staff who know their craft, their booze and food, and are happy to welcome strangers and friends alike. We'll be back. See you there. And thank you thank you thank you, staff at Blossoms, for being so genuine, friendly and welcoming.

   Love going here absolutely lovely food and amazing atmosphere. The guy in charge yesterday was so lovely and friendly and went out his way to make sure our night went smoothly. Both the floor staff were very lovely and really can’t fault this place at all. Highly recommend.
