Standing out from the crowd, our 400-seater restaurant is housed in a grand Grade II listed building featuring a distinct neoclassical Greek façade and mixes an industrial look with a touch of opulence inside. Opera Grill brings theatre on a grand scale to Chester. At the heart of our menu is the theatre charcoal grill and wood-burning ovens, inspired by revered chefs and restaurants from around the world. The entertainment continues in a first-floor Music Gallery featuring a stage set for live acts every Friday, and a mix of soulful classics performed by our gospel choir every Sunday.
The distinctive spaces in Opera Grill are all available for hire for meetings, conferences and special events with bespoke menus and entertainment packages.

We have limited disabled access, the 1st floor and terrace is not wheelchair accessible.

    Very average expensive evening. Food very average, dry duck and raw Brussel sprouts. £62 a head because you are watching a very average band who didn’t play in the right key. Half a Cruz camp £4.50!!!! Full on rip off. Won’t be going back. However young serving staff deserve a thank you as they were rushed off their feet.

    Good food, staff weren’t very attentive and also kept forgetting things from order. Nice venue too. Our business partners enjoyed the evening.

    So half the food was ok and we were happy to pay full price however the majority was absolutely awful, steaks not cooked, meals come out cold, and the yorkshire puddings were like paper you cut into them and they disintegrated! I will be taking this up directly with Opera Grill because the prices they charge the food should be exceptional!!

    Steaks were well cooked but most of the food was lukewarm at best. Wines mediocre and expensive. Noisy and crowded, especially downstairs where the bar is. Service OK but took over an hour to serve the main. Much better places in Chester in my opinion and definitely overpriced.
