Reviews in Cheshire

My partner and I dined in the restaurant for stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and during that time had 2 evening meals and 2 breakfasts. All meals were lovely and the cleanliness standards were excellent. Breakfast selection was good and for dinner we had a variety of dishes including gravlax, goats cheese, chicken liver parfait, steak, chicken breast, pork fillet and sea bass. The hotel grounds were very nice and we both felt relaxed and happy during our stay. While we (and by 'we' I mean 'I') had some minor quibbles (I have worked in hospitality for approx 20 years), these were very minor and barely affected our stay at all. We will certainly be returning in the future.

We called in here after visiting Castaway Play. The food looked good online and it seemed to have a country pub look and feel to it. Our initial reactions were that the service was awful. Our waitress was unpleasant and never came back to take our order (we had to go and ask to order). They slightly improved but we felt like everything was too much trouble. Oh the flip side, the food and drink were extremely good. We had the pie of the day. Really good portion sizes and it tasted truly home cooked. I tried some of our sons pizza, that was also really good. Dough tasted home made along with the sauce. Overall we would go back. I think the service was a blip. And the food was worth it.

We absolutely love this hidden gem. The food is exceptional, focused on the very best ingredients and the quality is obvious. The family who own and run this restaurant are just delightful! Best welcome and service we have ever had. Well worth a visit… you will definitely go back.

Came yesterday for a Sunday lunch !! The food was amazing very high standard and quality ! The staff were very friendly and helpful !! We had a little dog with us and the staff gave her treats which was a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back Thank you

Great service fabulous meal. Thankyou

Went to the Carriers on Sunday 30th and we both had the Lamb Sunday roast, can only say the food was excellent. The young lady who served us was very pleasant and would recommend the place no problem. Ron C.

Our first visit on saturday night. Absolutely amazing, great food and great service. Loved the platter choices, meatballs fantastic just a shame we couldn't manage desserts. Will definitely come back.

We went on Saturday the 29th April with friends and was really disappointed. We walked in and they had to add another sitting to our table as they had only set it for four and there was five of us yet this had been booked for 3 weeks . We were sat there for 10mins and nobody came to ask if we wanted a drink or bring menus. I ask a girl if we could have a drink and some menus and bless her she said sorry but actually this isn't my part to be serving. Then the drinks came but still no menus. The food was lovely but the service the guys just put the food down at the end of the table not helpful to put it in the middle no smiles it's a shame . The music was to load we couldn't talk between ourselves it was a real shame as we have been a few times and it's been really good.

What a great evening, as normal food, service & atmosphere were great. We love this independent restaurant right on our doorstep. Well done Team Antalya.

Very quiet, not very warm welcome from the young staff. Service was very slow, 35 minutes for 2 pasta dishes. Food when it arrived was very tasty although my risotto was a little “wet”. Puttanesca was very good.

absolutely delicious as always wife had teh belly pork so tasty and tender and i had teh chicken curry which was gorgeuos , the food and teh staff are brilliant get yourself down here

A really lovely evening, great service and food as always, thank you

This is the second time that I've dined here and absolutely love it. On the ground floor is the bar with tables and chairs which is also used for the lunchtime dining. With it being early evening we dined in the restaurant on the first floor. The inside of the restaurant is stunning and well set out. The food was excellent and freshly cooked. Prices are very reasonable and the service was first class. We were lucky to be there during 2 for 1 cocktails and couldn't resist in ordering a few. I'll definitely recommend Piccante to my friends and anyone looking to dine in Macclesfield. Thanx to Felipe the chef, Haseena and her staff for another excellent evening and look forward in visiting here again x

Lovely meal and really friendly staff, would be going again in the near future

On a recent visit to Chester we decided to book Carbonara due to the reviews we had read & we certainly weren't disappointed. The menu isn't massive like many Italian restaurants, but this is a case of quality over quantity & when I say quality, the food was superb, fantastic pasta & sauces, and it was good value for money. Service was attentive and the owner, who was also cooking, took the effort to come and speak to us, which shows he very much cares. I would highly recommend this place.

It has been some time since I busted this restaurant which I always regarded as good .This visit was disappointing . The toast was edible but no more than that . The staff were welcoming although we gave our order twice . My granddaughters meal was enjoyable .

We had an excellent Sunday lunch for two on 23/4. Lovely food, beautifully prepared. The staff could not have been more welcoming and attentive and the attention to detail is so impressive.

What a place! Nothing really comes close to the special unique design of this special place, it is full of ambience and individual character. The staff are warm and so attentive, polite and efficient. Sunday was our second visit and we were not disappointed. Food to die food, I mean really good and plentiful and we all enjoyed every mouthful. We'll be back!!
