My first time here after wanting to go for years and boy was it worth the wait. We chanced a visit at lunch time for my birthday treat. We had the 3 course lunch (£40 or 2 courses for £35). The sharing sirloin steak was an additional £30. It was such high quality and they didn't scrimp on portion sizes either 👍. My dog even benefitted with the bone 🍖😁.

My wife and I booked the Valentine's Day meal, which was £69 per person, plus drinks. Although we received good service and the food was delicious, the meagre portion sizes left us disappointed. By the time we had consumed the "snack", starter and main, we were considering stopping off for something to eat on the way home, as we were still so hungry! The beef Wellington was advertised as "for two to share" which implied that it was quite substantial. Instead, it was served as two tiny individual portions, there was nothing "to share" about it. It wasn't even served with a potato dish, with the explanation that "the pastry is very rich" which was nonsense. Annoyingly, one of the servings was significantly smaller than the other; an observation which my wife also overhead another table commenting on to their waitress. The dessert was the only course that was reasonably portioned. As the other courses were so small, we got through everything rather quickly. My wife had visited the restaurant previously with a friend and had a lovely meal, so wanted to share the experience with me. Instead, we left feeling that we had been conned and won't be returning.

Amazing food and drink, would recommend to anyone. Staff were great and friendly too, credit to the owner.

A fantastic little bistro with a great lunchtime menu. We try and stop of for lunch on our way to Anglesey for our holidays. It's one of the highlights

Just amazing food and knowledgeable staff. Abs a delightful space. Bold food combinations that stay close to the love of food. Could so easily have fallen into quite a few pretentiousness traps. But sailed well clear of those.

Really lovely experience eating here. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The menu is diverse and interesting, and everything we had was completely delicious. The wines match the food - excellent and delicious. All in all a superb meal!

We had a great experience from start to finish ! The service was great and the food was fantastic . We could see the chefs hard at work from our table. Went for our 5 year anniversary and had a brilliant time .

Fabulous food and service. Everything tasted wonderful. But it was the extra touches... the 'happy anniversary' and the 'do you I require a taxi?' not expected, but very welcome ... lovely evening, and can't wait to return. Thank you 😊

A gem of a find during our 2 night stay in Chester. I booked it a month ago after reading reviews. Delighted to have celebrated our wedding anniversary here Both menus are really good. I had the 3 course bistro menu ( red Thai fish cake, sticky chicken thighs and honeycomb ice cream,) my husband had the a la carte.(lamb rump and baked yoghurt) Definitely worth a visit if you like good food and service!

The food was excellent. I had a lovely lamb breast starter and a spicy schwarma chicken main. We have been a few times. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We went for my dad's birthday and they gave us a birthday treat which was a lovely touch. Definitely worth a visit if you've not been before.

A cosy, unique restaurant where the food is outstanding yet reasonably priced and the staff are so friendly and accommodating.

This is a top notch restaurant that hits the spot on so many notes. The main thing though is that the food is original and absolutely delicious. We both opted for the Pan Fried Fillet of Stone Bass - the golden raisins, pine-nut and salted lemon dressing was a standout. I think I make the best mash potato but Sticky Walnut challenged me with their garlic and olive oil version - I have since made this at home and I am a complete convert. The restaurant is relaxed for what could be considered fine dining. The staff knew their stuff and were welcoming. It also offers good value for money. We were slightly amused by the guest at the table next to us ordering just a plateful of carrots in a culinary restaurant of this calibre, but each to their own. Looking forward to visiting again - a must do if you are visitor to Chester. Highly recommended!

After hearing good things from locals and seeing the good reviews online we had high hopes for this place, but honestly we were very disappointed. The only positive was the service, staff were attentive and friendly. The atmosphere on the other hand reminded me of somewhere that you may go for breakfast. It didn't have that upmarket intimate feel that you would expect when paying the type of prices that this restaurant commands. Upstairs was hot,cramped, and poorly lit. The toilets were like something you would find at a takeaway - tiny, old, badly decorated. Remember this places charges you £50 per head and £52 for a bottle of average Malbec. Let's be real here. The food was mediocre at best. We had the braised pig cheek to start, the meat was dry, hard, about the size of my thumb and the sauce lacked any depth of flavour you expect with this type of slow cooked dish. I went into my second course hungry and disappointed. The venison (two ways) turned up well presented but in a bowl. Why? Completely the wrong type of plate for this dish. This dish had a very well cooked piece of meat some celeriac puree, smoked bacon a roasted onion and a venison sausage (dry). It was ok and an improvement from the starter but again nothing that wowed me or left me longing for more. Lastly the desert with was a thimble full of ice cream, chocolate sauce and a huge piece of honey comb balanced on the top. A confused dessert that seemed like an after thought by the pastry chef. I wanted this place to shine but it was such a disappointment.

Wow!! A few years between this visit and my last and we absolutely loved it. People lovely, service fab and food outstanding (apologies if my photos don’t do it justice). Simply wow, and also recommend the wine pairing it definitely enhanced the experience.

I booked a table for my 30th birthday and I loved it! It was a very nice small restaurant with great service a lovely atmosphere and amazing food. The item I wasn't too keen on was the spring roll which I thought was a bit naff. Otherwise, everything else was great and they even catered for my vegan wife. Oh, and their absolute best dish was their truffle chips, best chips I have ever had!

Wanted to come here ages ago, so for our anniversary we stayed in the lovely Chester and throughly enjoyed our evening at Sticky Walnut, highly recommend this eatery. Many thanks to all the team, who clearly run very smoothly together. 👍

Great service and nice staff. The food was very good, the chicken liver paté was amazing. Nice portion sizes and fair prices

Wow!!! Want to give an honest review! I have waited so long to visit this restaurant and finally made it! I have always had high expectations and struggle to find restaurants that match these, from the establishments that I’ve chosen from reviews. We enjoyed every single course and so did our children. For the first time, they actually ate everything on their plate in a restaurant. Service was perfect and very friendly! Very attentive! Will definitely return, thank you to the chefs and staff. You did a wonderful job and made our experience very enjoyable. Thank you and have a lovely Christmas.

A lovely dining experience. Fabulous food in an unstuffy atmosphere. My starter ranked as one of my best tasting dishes ever.

The best meal I have ever had in Chester! Exquisite flavours and friendly staff would highly recommend! Compliments to the chef X x
