My meal was very good, but one of our party of six said some parts of his main course were undercooked. Hence only 4 stars, but still very good value for money.

The staff were very accommodating for gluten free. Mussels were excellent and rump steak cooked perfectly ??

Visited just before Christmas. Great fixed price menu and food really good! Bottle of wine for £20 too which I'm pretty sure is cheapest in Chester!! Lovely staff too.

Myself and three other family members came down with food poisoning from the oysters.We regularly eat here, and the food and experience has always been great (hence we eat there for big family meals a lot).But just before Christmas, all members of the family who ate the oysters came down sick at different intensities, ruining Christmas Day.The response from management and the owner was rather shocking, not wanting to take any responsibility for the incident, when all we wanted to try and do was explain the situation so it wouldn’t happen to other customers in the future (we received every excuse from the batch volume to the suppliers filtration process, but no accountability).Sad to say we won’t be dining here again due to the response we received, and their clear priority for preventing any liability, rather than simply apologising (we didn’t ask for a refund or anything else to make up for the incident). A shame.

Visited for coffee, very pleasant reception quickly shown to table and drink order taken. The drinks soon followed by a lovely polite and pleasant young lady. There were two young waitress’s not only smiling and pleasant but worked as a team. What a change to see such lovely young people.

Amazing!!! I honestly couldn't fault it, great food and was so tasty. Lovely touch with the head chef coming out asking how his food was ( he was really passionate about his food) Great place, we'll definitely be going back

I had the most unpleasant experience here with my boyfriend on Sunday. Although the dining and service was great, my table had the unfortunate experience of food poisoning after he spent over £100 here!!!This is completely unacceptable, I'm not sure what dish exactly gave us food poisoning - all dishes were seafood based so you can understand how unpleasant this experience has been. This is extremely disappointing considering how much money was spent at this establishment.I would avoid returning again or even recommending this restaurant to anyone. I am beyond disappointment - I think the process in which food is cooked and prepared that cannot be seen behind the dining experience should be questioned. Both of us had to take a few days off from work and college because of how harsh the sickness was.Do better for your customers.

This place is a real gem. The oysters and mussels were so fresh and delicious!!!!The taste and the quality of the food was brilliant, and they do also have plenty of choice for the non-sea food lovers. The service and staff were fantastic. The vibe was so cosy and warm and even on a chilly Wednesday evening. It was nice and busy, but not loud. Just the perfect atmosphere.A really lovely evening. I will definitely be coming back - I've decided I want to keep coming back to try every variety/flavour of mussels haha!Definitely go and give this place a visit!!!!!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! It was easy to find, and the service was excellent. The young lady who served us provided helpful recommendations, especially since it was my first time trying mussels and oysters. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect – intimate, warm lighting, and away from noise. Highly recommended!

nothing is too much trouble here.Been here over the years and it never disappoints.Excellent value and warm cost atmosphere. Can't fault.
For starters we had Oysters, Calamari & the Pate - all very good. For the mains we had 2 Classic moules and 2 Spanish moules with fries and bread. All very good. For desert we shared the nutella & banana waffle and the honeycomb & caramel waffle - both very good. We also had the Christmas cocktail on their drinks menu - made with Bulleit Bourbon, Orange juice and a cinamon syrup - excellent - these were so good we ordered 2nd glasses of it. We also had a bottle of the house champagne - also very good. The service was helpful with a smile and the person doing the cocktails was very informative about the Christmas cocktail which is one of his creations.

A fab lunch, wish we had made it supper. Super fresh moules and oysters. Other foods very hot and well cooked. Friendly and enthusiastic young servers. Wine sensible money. Would we go again? you bet ya’.

Stopped by for lunch when in the city the other day. As good as ever and for me 2019 was the last visit, after many years of regular visits. Squid starter was tasty, Moules were delicious. Staff pleasant and efficient. Recommended.
