    Everything about the meal was fantastic. Delicious nibbles, starter, main and dessert. And two bottles of fabulous wine! A great experience, we will visit again :)

    Food great, fantastic selection of wine, value for money, however problem with the final bill, (error shouldn’t have happened) but at least it was sorted out quickly with no fuss. Will definitely return, but will check the bill for accuracy!

    Excellent food although felt it was overly expensive for main courses. Food came quickly, an was piping hot (not always the case in all restaurants!) and no sides needed as generous servings. Service v good and attentive friendly staff. Unlike bar area, dining room lacked ambience, and did not feel as well designed. Overall a good experience but price would put me off going again as so much other good restaurant choices available jn Chester.

    The food, service and decor were excellent. Our evening was however, marred by intrusive, unsophisticated music, so loud that it could not be termed "background music". We did request that the volume be lowered, to no avail. It let you down.

    Could of been 5 stars all round but unfortunately one of the dishes failed to hit the mark in a big way. We had olives to start followed by the Surf & Turf and at £25 for a starter we felt it was a big let down. The lobster was sweet and buttery but the cut of beef used was awful- grisly, tough and hard to chew which was disappointing as the overall flavours were lovely. Our pork and lamb mains were both great as were the sides, no complaints there. The service from the sommelier however was made the night special and he is an asset to the restaurant. We were grateful for the discount we received for being part of their local diners club but both agreed that we wouldn’t necessarily return in a hurry without a similar offer in the future
