    First visit to the new Chef’s Table although we were very regular visitors to Music Hall Passage. We were thrilled with our visit and thought the food was exceptional and the service was excellent and very friendly. We could not have wished for more and thank everyone involved. We will certainly return. Thank you.

    We were given a voucher for Chef's Table in Chester as a Christmas present and haven't been there before. It was a Wednesday night in the middle of January so we expected it to be relatively quiet, despite the 20% discount offer this month. There were only a few tables being used but that suited us just fine as it meant we could engage more with the staff, who were excellent. Sino, the sommelier, clearly knows his stuff and we ordered a bottle of Plavac (Croatian wine) as we'd enjoyed this on our travels there over the last few years. We ordered foccaccia, haggis fritters and venison chipolatas to get us underway, which were all very tasty. For starters we had surf and turf and lamb with feta and beetroot salad. My partner said the scallop on her surf and turf was the best she'd had since we were in Italy, which was 8 years ago! The lamb was delicious. For main course we had cod cheeks in a massaman curry sauce and iberico pork with winter vegetable as a side dish. The portion sizes of the main course were generous and the food was once again excellent. It is clear that Chef's Table uses some of the best produce around and Liam the chef with his team prepared the food beautifully. We have been to a few high end fine dining restaurants with taster menus but this ranked right at the top for us. We would definitely recommend Chef's Table, it's not cheap but you certainly get what you pay for here, it's outstanding! Our waiter was also friendly and very helpful so that also made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thanks to everyone for a lovely experience, I'm sure we'll be back!

    Best standard of freshly prepared, modern British food in Chester (for miles in fact). Excellent (and varied) wine list and drinks service.

    Chef’s Table was brilliant from start to finish. The staff were brilliant and helped us choose wines to pair with our meals, perfectly. The lamb starter was the star- well balanced and beautiful. It was a perfect evening.

    The food was absolutely delicious and extremely well presented; the service outstanding. One of our party was vegetarian and she was very happy with the vegetarian and vegan menus. I couldn’t fault a thing.
