Reviews in Chester

We have visited Carriages many times and have never been disappointed. The food is excellent and such good value, it truly is a little gem of a place hidden away in the beautiful Cheshire countryside. We certainly will go again and recommend it to anyone!

This is a top class "traditional" Indian restaurant. Not much in the way of maple and chrome and dance music, but the food is outstanding, and the service/staff are brilliant. Highly recommended, good range of food, and VERY reasonably priced.

Went to the Thai section of the restaurant with a group of friends. The food was very good and not over-priced. However, the service left much to be desired - the waiters were generally disinterested from the moment we turned up, the bill was incorrect in several respects and the service was slow. Pity, really.

We found this place by accident as we walked around the walls. It's lovely. We stopped in for a coffee while the rain passed, and booked a table in the picture window for the following day. Luckily the rain had stopped: the racecourse is the best view in the sunshine. The maitre d' was very friendly and helpful - my friend is in a wheelchair, and they were most accommodating - and the food was lovely. we left very full and not too light-of-pocket. we shall visit again. when in rome ...

We ate here after Chester races and had a fantastic meal for two. Although we were nearly an hour early we were seated with a drink and menu straight away. The menu choices are outstanding and the prices aren't as high as you'd expect. We had oysters, followed by three courses each, 3 peroni's, 1 bottle of water + tip was £80. Best lamb I've ever tasted as well. The full menu is on there own website. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

i love oddfellows :) its my favorite place to sit back relax and enjoy a friendly drink with a few friends. i highly recommend oddfellows as the staff are extremely sexy!!! ooooooo ye there sexy!!! i love it

Very pleasant atmosphere, super value for money. I had the fish and chips which were excellent and others in on my table all enjoyed their meals. Friendly efficient staff.

Dined for lunch in the Brasserie. Lovely building and service was pleasant. The black pudding starter was nice enough, although a little crisp on one edge. The bouillabaisse main course was probably as bad as I could expect. Out of the 6 mussels 4 were closed, the bisque was greasy and bland and the rest looked liked off cuts of old fish, probably not fit for the stock. If the Arkle was open we would have dined there, but if the same staff are cooking there then we probably saved a penny or two. Still £85 for three drinks, 1 starter and no dessert seems a rip off for the quality. We will not return.

Friendly staff, inexpensive, lovely pastas, deserts bit of a let down after a lovely main meal, but didn't ruin the evening.

the restaurant was lovely, tasted superb - loved it.

Had a squid and chorizo salad, squid very unevenly cooked, some raw, some as flacid as a lychee, really revolting. Leaves limply hanging over side of bowl..................to say, "They wilt with the heat of the food" doesn't excuse the unappealing presentation. So poor food, poorly presented and poorly apologised for. They even charged for the side bread, which I did eat as otherwise I would have starved. Will not waste time and money visiting them again or recommending them.

My recommendation is do not buy the soft drinks I was charged £2.05 for a small diet coke.........what a rip off

Excellent restaurant with good atmosphere, have dined in many Zizzis restaurants especially in London, food is always very good and staff polite at all times, you will not be disappointed.

Friendly staff, above average service and good food is what we found. Dishes were just as they were described and very enjoyable, although our steaks were on the rare side of how we ordered them. It wasn't even too loud at the height of the evening, and this on a Saturday night.

we went to bollicini last friday the food was terrible, although the restaurant was full.The service was just has bad,a rude waitress insisted that the service was so bad because of the shortage of staff. The toilets was dirty and looked unattended we returned our food and asked the waiter for a clean plate. The glass was dirty and also replaced. I have been here before and enjoyed it but i believe the standards have dropped so much i wouldn't recommend it again theres lots of better restaurants in chester to choose from

Me and two of my friends went here on a whim on Monday night 25th Feb and it was really worth it! We chose the Thai restaurant upstairs, service was impeccable and food was out of this world, best Thai I've had in a long time, will definitely go again. can't fault it! Not impressed easily and always super critical (friends are chefs and i am a restaurant owner) Well done! A delightful place to eat, thankyou!

Went here at the weekend and would recommend to anyone. Ordered our food and it came out within minutes and it was delicious. You need to book a table as they were turning people away at the door and it was only 7:30!

We again visited Carriages In Chester on Valentines day, some 2 years after our last visit in 2006.Once again we had a superb evening, top class food, nice wine,and in a really nice atmosphere. I defy anyone to find a better evening, and at such a remarkable price. I you have not tried this restaurant yet, then i suggest you do, you will not be disappointed. Many thanks to all the staff regards Graham Futcher
