Wonderful night! Friendliest service we have had for a long while. Food magnificent - and cooked in a visible kitchen area. We had the Sunday roast menu. The best beef sirloin cooked to perfection, and with green veg even I ate. Pudding was lavender and thyme creme brulee. Superb!

Fabulous meal in relaxed atmosphere. What seemed to be a limited range of options turned out to be a cornucopia of flavours . Beautifully presented dishes and their greatest secret is dirty mash"; the most incredible side dish full of flavour. Definitely worth a visit even if you're not a hotel guest. Staff really attentive but not intrusive. An open kitchen as well so you can see the passion and attention that goes in to the presentation of each dish."

The young man serving drinks was fantastic, but that's where the enjoyment ended. We ordered steak, which was ordered rare but arrived blue. They had already cut it up so we didn't send it back. I didn't enjoy the steak at all. It was completely tasteless. It was £92 for just the steak itself, which was grossly over priced for the quality. I have had much better steaks for half the price. The service from the food staff wasn't great - we paid the service charge that was added on and didn't enjoy the meal at all, so when the server asked if we wanted change, we said yes. The server presented us with around £6 change all in 10p coins (which we felt was some kind of statement). Finally, we asked for our coats and were given the wrong ones. We had to go into the cloak room with the server to track down ours. The whole experience was a shambles. I feel the restaurant is beautifully presented decoration-wise, but the quality of service and food doesn't match up. The Forge is a bit of a sheep in wolves' clothing. There are plenty of other fine restaurants in Chester, so I would recommend you try one of those.

We really enjoyed our short stay at The Forge. The hotel is modernly decorated and has a very elegant atmosphere. The room had everything one would need for an overnight stay and was nice and clean. The bar has a nice variety of cocktails and the service is good. It can get busy and the split service between the restaurant and bar can introduce a wait but the staff do well to respond as quickly as they can.We didn't dine in the restaurant for lunch or dinner so I can't comment on the food in that respect, but we did have breakfast which was pleasant. It was also nice to see vegan options on the menu.Lovely modern hotel located in the centre of Chester within walking distance from plenty of bars and restaurants.

Amazing food, really well cooked and presented and lots of interesting choices and twists on original dishes. Staff were also brilliant and the kitchen is open to the seating area so you can get a feel for what's going on! Totally recommend.

We have visited this place twice. Once on my birthday and now on New Year's Eve. The first experience was fabulous. The staff and food were so good that we decided to come back for New Year's Eve.We are now sitting at the table welcoming 2023. The food was amazing as last time. But the music played by the DJ is a bit let down. It's not suitable for the room demographic and a conversation killer during dinner due to being way too loud.We chose this place because we thought it was a classy place. I don't think we'd come back for the same occasion.

Bit of a wait on arrival but once we got our seat the meal was lovely.We particularly enjoyed the venison tartare.The wine list was excellent, but as with many upper end restaurants these days very little choice of quality beers. Just a couple of big standard lagers or similar. Craft beer offers such a great variety, and there are several good local breweries. There doesn't have to be loads. 4 or 5 quality cans would make a huge difference.

I had a wonderful time at Forge, Chester. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The ambience was impeccable. The food lived up to the reputation of their Michelin star rating.Overall, I had a great fine dining experience and I enjoyed every bit of it.

At The Forge, we had the pleasure of trying their wild venison scotch egg, which was hands down the best scotch egg I've ever tasted. The flavours were exceptional, and it left a lasting impression.On the other hand, the sirloin of beef didn't meet my expectations. The fat wasn't rendered down enough, resulting in a chewy texture that was a bit disappointing.One of the highlights was the captivating open kitchen, allowing guests to witness the skilled team in action. However, there were occasional fumes from the open kitchen that was unpleasant at times.Nevertheless, the service team was welcoming and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience.
