    We're not especially fans of American cuisine but as Sticky Walnut were doing it for their set menu this month we decided to give it another chance and expand our taste. It's still not my favourite but the frickles (deep fried, very lightly tempura battered pickles), barbequed Boston beans, and fried chicken with collared greens were all raised to level well beyond the norm. Very unusually for me, the puddings were the standout course; New York cheesecake was delicious, and Honeycomb ice cream served in a chilled glass with cracking good solidified chocolate sauce, absolutely fantastic. Service was lovely, very friendly and charming. Excellent value, £23 each for all three courses. I don't think you can do better in Chester.

    Family members from London, Bristol and Cheltenham were delighted to hear that I had booked the SW for an evening of their visit. It met all our expectations from a previous visit. Yet again we were impressed with the knowledgeable and attentive staff, the exciting and delicious food options, the quality and presentation of the food, the warm and friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. We really enjoyed our evening in your more than capable hands! What a great Team! Thank you all so much!

    Really enjoyed our lunch at Sticky Walnut. We had the main menu. Starters (beetroot arancini and hispi cabbage were fab, mains (confit duck and chicken escalope) pretty good. Lovely ambience nice and quiet no loud music so we could talk at a normal volume. Service was excellent and they were quite busy. Thinking of trying the sister-restaurants in Manchester next.

    Plenty of choice on the menu, we both had the feather blade steak which was tender and tasty. Vegetable side dishes of carrots and broccoli were really good. Overall it was a great meal if a bit on the pricey side.
