    Had the set menu with the matched wines which was delicious. The highlight of the night was the thoughtfulness in the wine selection and some really interesting and diverse flavours. We loved chatting with the sommelier about the wines and he seemed to know his stuff and love his job.

    First time in Brisbane and we got very lucky when booking a table at Mr Chester. Harry was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and guided us well. We throughly enjoyed trying different sparkling and wines than we would usually have at home in WA.
