Promptly seated and had fantastic service throughout. Prices very reasonable and food was fresh and delicious. We has salads and flatbread pizza with a side of the cornbread, and all were excellent. Cannot say enough about the service. Attentive and accommodating personnel all around.
Went to celebrate a birthday and had great service, great food and loved their chocolate cake with hot fudge! So amazing! We will definitely be back.
My son tried the spaghetti and loved his meal. I had the salmon and asparagus salad. It was delicious.
Most wonderful food! Wife described her food (Parmesan-crusted walleye and rice) as the BEST food she has ever had!! I had the bacon wrapped filet and shrimp ...also very good. You are our favorite restaurant in the world! We'll be back! We were in town for a Mayo appointment. We are from Marshfield WI (250 miles away).
The wait staff was excellent. Very attentive, genuine, and friendly. The food was decent, salmon especially was cooked perfectly. The cocktails were good as well. Nothing over the top excellent but a reliably good, meal with options for the whole family.
Food was delicious as it always is. It can be noisy but given that people are excited to go out much less finally be with friends for the first time in a year, it can be expected. Wasn't bad though.
Pace of service check-ins rushed us.
Brunch every Sunday; consistently, a pleasant time
First I would say, our waiter Chris was awesome! Very pleasant and knowledgeable. Next the food, for a starter we had the steak and blue fondue whick is always our favorits and tonight was excellent. For main course we had one minute chicken, Santa Fe salad and steak and scallops.. Most of the food was great except the steaks....they had kind of a funky texture and there was only one medium size scallop which was disappointing. We shared a dessert sampler amoung 4 and this was all delicious but the overall favorite was the banana cream pie. All the Chester cocktails we tried were very good as well. Overall a pleasant evening.
Excellent food and service! We shared an appetizer of walleye cakes, a burger with blueberry jam, jalapenos and brie cheesecurds with sweet potato fries, and finished with strawberry rhubarb crisp with vanilla bean ice cream. Fabulous!!!
Meeting a friend from out of state
Very convenient location downtown. So many delicious-sounding choices that it was hard to pick one.
Nothing special. Waiters not very well trained. Food nothing special. A bit disappointed. Likely won’t be back.
Service was awesome, food was great.

Wonderful food and service as always.
We really enjoyed our Sunday brunch at Chester's on Apr. 4. We would certainly go back again.
The restaurant was beautiful inside! We were there for Easter brunch and our food was all very good, large portions and reasonably priced. Our server was great and offered suggestions when we asked questions about the menu. We will definitely go back again!
Always a great time. The food and service outstanding!!
Great food. Great service. Always a top choice when our family goes out
Great brunch menu! Great Attention to gluten free options and preparation! Great service- waitress was AWESOME!!! Mimosa and Bloody were perfect!
Never disappointed at Chesters. Food always delicious. The Rotisserie chicken , and Chocolate cake for dessert , always the best
Superb service and daily special
Crowded, food was overcooked. Expected more for the price. Nice location and ambiance.
Even though we asked to be seated in a quiet area the noise level was more than we hoped for. On to the good , our server was great, she was knowledgeable, efficient and accurate. I had the shrimp and scallop hot pot...just plain delicious! Hubby had the chicken very good and a huge serving! Had enough leftover for lunch for both of us the next day! We'll be back!
Family outing success with our kids 6 & 8 year old. Food was amazing and ambience on point.
I can't believe how amazing the open faced turkey sandwich is at Chester's.
Very fun place for a meal. Great drinks, outstanding food (with some solid healthy options!)
While at Mayo Clinic we always like to eat at Chesters. The food is always delicious and service wonderful.
Anniversary
The evening was very nice, we were sitting next to the kitchen not the best place but it was ok!! The food was WOW my scallops were out of this world they just melt in my mouth it was just absolutely Awesome!! We will be back...
Excellent service from Brooke. Delicious Salmon and Walleye entrees with variety of sides including broccoli and portabello mushrooms.
Food quality seems to have gone down from what it once was. Used to be the go to Restaurant in town. Others are now doing a better job, Crave, Pittsburgh Blue, Benedict’s, and Cameo. Still in the top 5 but no longer number one.
Due to our recent required appointments at the Mayo Clinic, this was the highlight to our day. The food was excellent and the staff very attentive.
Very convenient to Mayo Clinic.
Everything about this restaurant was excellent.
Wonderful food and service.
Chester's is a great place to dine. Great food and pricing a little low for the quality of food they serve. Would highly recommend.
Had the vegeterian chili and the healty bowl with Tofu. It was much better than it sounds for you meat and potato's folks! The broccoli was cooked perfectly - not too crunch or too mushy. Great flavor
Chicken pot pie special was below usual quality. No veg, needed peas, carrots, onions, minced chicken in salty gravy. Not enough puff, good thing guest had xtra mash potato. Food wasn’t hot. Waiter great!
