Harden's says

Harden's survey result
Summary
“Currently the ‘in’ place in town” – Razak Helalat (founder of Coal Shed and Salt room) has another hit on his hands with this sophisticated-looking yearling, which fans say is “deservedly popular, thanks to its exciting and seriously good Middle Eastern-inflected small plates”, “very imaginative cocktails, and a 70s-but-cool aesthetic”. Boosted by Giles Coren’s upbeat review in The Times, it is the most commented-on venue in town in our latest annual diners’ poll and “there’s a great buzz around the place”. The overall rating is dented though, by an unusual number of mixed or disappointing reports. The sceptics say “there are good flavours, but just too many of them, nor are they as good as the hype suggests”.
Summary
Coal Shed founder Razak Helalat opened his third Brighton restaurant in The Lanes in June 2021 (there's also The Salt Room), serving food cooked over a wood fire, with a specially curated soundtrack from Fatboy Slim. It has inspired immediate enthusiastic local feedback: “Wow! The most delicious food” and particularly “fabulous cocktails”.
For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Burnt Orange Restaurant Diner Reviews
"A really excellent restaurant all round. Superb innovative food, in great surroundings, and excellent service. A smart, stylish and relaxing way to spend an evening. Will become a regular favourite."
"A sister restaurant to Salt Room. A good vegetarian tasting menu. Some excellent dishes- flatbread, broad bean hummus, good cauliflower dish, lemony pardon peppers"
"Some of the food is great, but you have a sense the kitchen is getting lazy. £8 for a quarter of a 65p hips cabbage in a sauce is having a laugh."
