Restaurants near Somerset State Wildlife Management Area

My bride and I have been visiting in the Rochester area for a few days. We checked Trip Advisor for good restaurants to try. Chester’s Kitchen and Bar was #1 on the list and for good reason. We dined there twice in three days; first for dinner and later for lunch. On both occasions we had exceptional meals and service in an inviting atmosphere. At dinner, I had an excellent filet mignon steak and my bride had the Walleye; both were exceptional. At lunch, I had the fish and chips and my bride had the French dip; again, both were terrific. The servers we had on each visit were were especially noteworthy; Devon took care of us at dinner and Gail at lunch. Both of these ladies were amazing—prompt, personable and professional. We enjoyed getting briefly acquainted with both and we cannot overstate how much they each contributed to our most pleasant dining experiences. We were also impressed with manager, Annie, who answered our questions and gave us recommendations for other affiliated restaurants. Finally, another member of the staff, Fidel, who brought our food to the table during both our visits was helpful and friendly sharing his insights. Our thanks goes to all these great professionals for making us feel welcome in the Rochester area and proving the # 1 rating on Trip Advisor is well deserved.

My husband & I both had the Steelhead salmon w/coconut risotto & it was fabulous! We also had the meatballs as an appetizer. They were delicious as well. Would highly recommend dining here

I was at your restaurant yesterday at 1:30 pm. It was noisy, even after many nearby patrons left. I had a wonderful waitress. Food was good, hollandaise sauce cooked have been warmer. This is a favorite spot when I come to town to visit family.

We both had the black and blue ribeye and they were delicious Always have a great time there because the wait staff is amazing

This was my first visit to Gary’s and I will return based on my positive experience. The salmon special was delicious. The serving size was larger than I expected and the salmon was perfectly done with a lot of nice flavor. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were also delicious and cooked to perfection. I liked the hollandaise sauce, but I may get it on the side next time to control the amount. I always love a nice glass of Caymus and was happy to see it served by the glass. I inquired about the king crab legs. This is one of my favorites - but I have been spoiled by Pittsburgh Blue who prepares the crab meat table-side so it is not messy and very easy to eat. I asked my server if they do this at Gary’s and he essentially said maybe if he wasn’t too busy. I probably would have ordered the crab legs if the response was ‘yes’. The ambiance was fun and vibrant. I also like to gamble so having pull tabs was also a big pro for me. I’ll be back! Thanks for a great first visit.
