   The food here is excellent, and I enjoyed my time as a solo traveler. I'm always on the lookout for heart-healthy food, and although the menu falls short on that front (I could have asked for the food to be cooked with olive oil, but I didn't), the meal was fine. If I were to be in Chester again. I'd ask for that substitution, if they can accommodate that.

   Arrive on time for our booking, however we were left at the table for 40 minutes before we had been approached to see if we would like to order. We then ordered the steak deal and added on some bread as a starter. The bread came after 25 minute and was burnt. I had to approach a waitress to ask where the food was as we had already been there for an hour and a half and only had some bread and one drink each. The lady apologised and brought the steak over and we ordered some more drinks with her. After we had eaten we steak we went outside for 20 minutes to watch the fireworks and our drinks had still not come when we went back to the table. We decided we had had enough and asked for the bill, we had to let the staff know we did not get the drinks and could they be removed which they were along with the bread. I cannot fault the steak, it was cooked perfectly, however the experience of a whole was very disappointing and felt abit of a mess. The waitress did apologies and tried her best, but we just felt it was a shame as it would have been a lovely experience and we definitely would have stayed for more drinks if it was not for the poor slow service.

   Took over 10 mins to be greeting at our table even though I had a reservation. The afternoon tea came out rushed, the waiter didn’t explain what the sandwiches were or anything. Only had 1 tea, wasn’t offered a refill. Really slow service considering how expensive it is. Asked to take away remaining food, got it placed in a cheap paper bag. Wouldn’t go again.

   We were booked in for 7.15pm, there were not many people at all in the restaurant - say 20. There were 3 staff on, service was very very slow we had to try and get the attention of a waitress who was already changing over the tables from dinner to breakfast and did her best to not get any eye contact. Overall our experience was very poor. Totally different at breakfast the service was superb.

   We had afternoon tea for my daughter’s birthday. It’s a lovely room overlooking the race course. The staff were friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the afternoon tea and had a lovely afternoon.

   We went for a birthday dinner. Great space, with views over Chester racecourse. It was Monday so a quiet night. One of our party was a wheelchair user and access and facilities were good. The food was very tasty and came out in good time. The service however, was mediocre at best. There were two staff, neither showed an interest to help make the evening memorable, little personality. The dirty dishes from the main course were left on our table for 25 minutes, when I asked them to be cleared, I was told it would be done after we had ordered our desserts. However, I think a word from the chef persuaded this to be done soon, and they were cleared 5 minutes later. The staff serving us did not appear impressed although we had asked politely. Overall, space = great, food = really very good, service = poor. On another night with different staff, the enjoyment of the evening would be elevated a notch or two.

    Beautiful setting. Food was delicious, was a lovely end to a Racing Weekend. The views from the Terrace are fantastic. We loved all of the evening. Service was just right. Would recommend to a friend and certainly return.
