    The food, service and ambience were outstanding at Chester’s. Our entire table enjoyed different walleye dishes and everyone was very happy with their entrees. Desserts were generous and delicious. The restaurant was crowded with large holiday groups but the overall noise level was moderate, snd for once I did not have trouble hearing my table mates conversation. Devin was an efficient and personable server and the manager stopped by our table to ensure we were being taken care of. Outstanding food, great service.

    This was my first time @Chesters. It was a great evening. I enjoyed the Sea Bass! A good portion, and very nice preparation. Nice ambience, it was busy, yet quiet enough for comfortable conversation between the four of us. Attentive and not overbearing service. It’s my first year living in Rochester, Chester’s is easily in the top two of three most enjoyable restaurants so far.

    Had the lamb chops on the special menu. They were as good as I have ever had. Roast potatoes, and brocollini done perfectly. Friendly and relaxed service. Our place to go in Rochester.

    Chester’s is predictably good…if you can get in. I made our Friday night reservation on Open Table that afternoon, thankfully. In the special request area I asked for a booth in the bar. We were brought to our “reserved” booth at our reserved time and watched other walk-in parties of two being told of long waits. Yay for both this website and Chester’s! Our waitress was especially friendly and helpful. Food was great. Love the place.

    It’s great food but way too expensive. $30 for meatloaf with tip? I’d go again for special occasions only. Otherwise can’t afford.
