    Booked a table for my birthday after reading some good reviews. Unfortunately, our high expectations have not been met. All dishes have been significantly more salty than in other restaurants. I have ordered scallops with corn and mash with chives. I believe not even a full scallop was served in a significant amount of corn for the size of the scallop and the mash was just…usual. The beef that my husband had was tender, but the sauce which came with it just covered the flavour of the meet since it was too spicy. Plus, the cauliflower served with the beef didn’t add any value to the course. The desserts were again not to the expectations (very sweet, but lacking true flavour and a good combination of textures). Please note this is not intended as a bad review, but more as a recommendation to maintain the high standard of the restaurant. P.S. There is no baby changing table in the restaurant, despite me announcing beforehand that we will be bringing our 3 month old baby.

    Centrally located in Chester with multi story parking locally. Very smartly presented resaurant. Attentive staff in a relaxed atmosphere. All the courses were very well presented. The Lunch menu was resonably priced . Not the cheapest restaurant to dine at but well worth a visit if you like fine dining.
