The Steak and Grill Restaurant
The Steak and Grill Restaurant located within the Macdonald New Blossoms Hotel, Chester is well worth a visit for an evening meal.
Just off the main street in Chester, the restaurant is well known in the city for its food. With intimate booths surrounding the outskirts of the room, low lighting and contemporary decor it’s the perfect place for a romantic meal for two. The room can however seat 60, so ideal for a private function also. The restaurant welcomes families too with an additional menu for children, if you are looking for a night with the kids.
We arrived slightly after our booked time, however this proved not to be a problem with the staff who were all very understanding.
We were greeted by Tony who showed us to our table and took our drinks orders. The restaurant boasts a large range of wine at the bar and we settled on a Rose which was served to us from a chilled bucket placed by our table, along with some still water.
Ellie took our meals orders and offered her recommendations when my partner was unsure of what to have for desert.
We started with Ham Hock with Piccalilli and Salad Garnish, followed by Steak and Chunky Chips with a Peppercorn Sauce and Free Range Chicken Skewers, Chunky Chips and Lemon and Basil Oil for dipping.
We indulged in Apple Crumble and Custard for dessert along with the Chocolate Brownie and Cream as it was Ellie’s favourite- and understandably so!
All of the food was presented beautifully on slate platters and was very well cooked. The accompaniments were expertly picked by the chefs to add that well needed zing to the strong flavours from the meats.
The staff could not have been more helpful so combined with the food it is easy to see why this is a popular haunt with visitors to the city or those living in the surrounding areas. It is not far from the taxi ranks in the city centre so if you want to enjoy a drink with you meal then you can, or alternatively book in for a night at the hotel, so you can retreat back to your room on a full stomach.
Thanks to Tony, Ellie and Steven and all the other staff involved in our delicious meal!
