Amongst the large chain of Ask Restaurants my local ASK in Brighton is in a higher league. The building which feels like a large luxury home is split into rooms with modern, clean, decor. The Italian food is great with delicious specials always and a wide variety of salads, pastas, pizzas and fish dishes. In the summer you can enjoy sitting out in the small garden area with the help of outdoor heaters. The food is always cooked to perfection and is reasonably priced. Even if you don’t do starters i recommend you indulge in as many courses as you can here. Great food and great location.

Good pizza restaurant - good food, good staff, good ambience. I’ve been there about fifteen times since it opened in around 1997 and never really been disappointed.

Only one less-than-good experience, from several years ago, was when I told a waitress I didn’t want the ice that she’d put in my brandy. She took it away, and after she brought me back an ice-free brandy I could smell nail varnish in it. Obviously she’d not wanted to waste time or expensive brandy, and must have simply scooped the ice out with her fingers. However, that was many years ago, and was just a slight aberration. Apart from that I’ve always had great, personable service.

The outside seating area is fantastic in summer.

I wish I could get past the pizza because I'm sure everything is GREAT! Unfortunately, I'm addicted to my prized pizza, which is oven-baked and PERFECT! (Oh...kudos to them for making the most amazing goat's cheese salad as an appetizer!)

The restaurant itself is VERY nice...much better than you might expect from a chain restaurant...and they have a GREAT patio area. In the evenings, each table is lit by candlelight and it's quite cozy. During the day, it's a little more casual. We've had to wait a few times but it has always been worth the wait! Weekends are especially busy because its at the entry of the famous Laines.

I don't think I'd call this place "child friendly." It seems more suited to adults. However, the staff is very friendly and I'm sure they would do their best to make children feel very welcomed.

I went to eat at ask ASK in Brighton yesterday and I LOVED it. The outside seating area in the garden is a real plus and the outdoor heaters allow you to sit outside till late at night. The food was amazing and the staff extremely friendly and welcoming. I cannot wait to go again! Highly recommended!!!!
