    There are many restaurants in Chester but there are very few that we visit twice. Chefs Table always delivers on every aspect - food, service..... This is now our restaurant of choice and to prove that we have been 3 times in the last 6 weeks. Congratulations and keep up the exceptional standard :-)

    Incredible food but extremely slow service. We were a table of 6 booked in for 2:30, we did the 2 course menu and nearly missed our evening drinks booking at 5pm! Every course we ate was delicious but the gaps in service and attention were huge. 2 and a half hours for a 2 course lunch was extreme and the whole restaurant emptied out around us.

    Lovely restaurant. It was a bit pricey but worth it as the food was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and there was a nice vibe to the place. A great place to go for a special occasion.
