Sorry John I wasn't implying any connection with you and MC, it was the only other venue I knew of in Brighton serving American style food.
Only had dealings with MC once, nothing special we only booked for a wedding anniversary!!!!! I decided just to check the menu before we left only to find it had closed down 3 months or more earlier, so we would have arrived at an empty venue.
We were offered a table at her night-time venue, for the following month so not a lot of help, nor sympathy.
Anyway here's to your new venture old chap, and good luck........................even if us poor travellers have to go hungry
