Opera a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an enjoyable evening.

We were meeting family and staying over in Chester, so there was no holding back, so after a drink at the bar, it was Porn Star Martini’s all round and an Asian platter appetiser for four at the table.

The menu featured a range of delicious dishes inspired by modern British and European cuisine. The starters were varied and included items such as scallops, lob ster cocktail, and crispy duck salad. Our main courses consisted of salads, a selection of grilled meats, seafood, and vegetarian options. The desserts were also a highlight, with many choices such as warm chocolate fondant and raspberry sorbet.

The meat and seafood were cooked to perfection, with a smoky flavour that added depth to the dishes. The steaks were particularly delicious, with a range of cuts available, and the seafood was fresh and succulent. Our favourite dessert had to be the sticky toffee pudding.

The service was exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who were happy to recommend a wine from their extensive list, to complement the meal. But the highlight of the restaurant was the grill, which is visible from the dining room.

Overall, Opera Grill Chester is a fantastic restaurant that offers a luxurious dining experience. The menu is varied, and the service and ambiance make for a memorable evening. If you're looking for a special night out, then Opera Grill Chester is most definitely worth a visit.
