Always a wonderful experience when dining at The Canteen! It’s our top pick when dining out! Our server Eva was wonderful and helped us select our favorite dishes, the delicious Lobster Spaghettini and Scallop and Pea Risotto! We enjoyed the amazing Snow Crab Dip as a starter. Thank you for always making my dining experience special! Love the staff, atmosphere and top notch food! Liz Murray

Excellent time. Anthony was very kind and attentive. He was kind in doing some substitutions to suit our wishes and was nice to chat with. Food was delicious, though portions could be a smidge more. Perhaps a bit more to separate the restaurant from the lobby so people waiting to check in aren’t leaning over and looking at what you’re eating.

It was a very busy night so the server was a bit slow to take our order, but the food arrived quickly and it was hot and very good. The server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was a bit noisy as there was a large table of four couples with 4 children under 3 years of age. Overall it was a pleasant evening, The fish & chips was delicious, as usual and the chicken club & salad was very good. It's our favorite place to dine when we are in Chester.
