    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.

    Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Food was not bad, but it was too crowded. Tables are so close to each other it feels like you are dining with other guests. You have no privacy.
