Customer Review Summary
Steak and fish draw the most praise, with diners singling out the fillet steak, the steak from a Sunday roast and the black cod. Close behind are the small plates, including halloumi, patatas bravas, miso carrot and salmon tacos, which one reviewer says come in generous portions. Monkfish and tuna mains also get mentions, and cocktails are called great. The recurring complaint is slow service. Reviewers describe long waits for food and drinks, a long gap between starter and main that a manager attributed to understaffing, and requests for salt and pepper that went unanswered while finished plates sat uncleared. Loud dance music early in the evening bothered a couple of diners, and one found nearby tables disruptive and called the owner's response to that complaint dismissive. Several others describe the owner as friendly and hands on, and a few were given a sample of a new cocktail before ordering. One adds that a magician performs on Thursdays.

“The food was very very good... quality meats, simple yet served beautifully. The drinks were a bit pricy for what they were, and also quite weak, but very tasty overall The service let the meal down really, staff very friendly, but very very slow. Waiting a long time for food and drinks, and then when finished no one wanted to come and clear plates etc. Asked for salt and pepper, and still waiting for them. Three interior and tables etc are all very nice, but the loud dance music at 6pm isn't necessary. Overall, whilst some niggles, you go for the food and drink and this is where we were there happiest. The Fillet Steak and the Black Cod were amazing!”

“We were staying in an apartment near by and decided to give it a try. The food was very fresh and tasty. The cocktails that accompanied the meal were great and we were given a sample before trying one we hadn't had before. The service was wonderful and we will definitely return if we find ourselves back in Chester.”

“Great place, food and service was amazing. I took my partner to celebrate Mother’s Day. Owner Matt introduced himself, really can’t wait to go back next month. We stayed in the Leonardo hotel opposite so was ideal.”

“Incredible evening! The food was amazing, my partner has a food allergy that was well accommodated. Service was brilliant, our waiter was attentive and cheerful, this should be on your list of places to go!”

“We dined at six one six expecting a fun elevated dining experience, particularly given the price point (£200 for two). The food itself was good, and I want to note that the manager on duty was professional, calm, and genuinely tried to support us when we raised concerns. Unfortunately, the overall experience was overshadowed by a chaotic and uncomfortable atmosphere. Several nearby tables were extremely loud throughout the evening, with constant movement to and from the bathrooms, shouting across the room, and behaviour that felt disruptive and intimidating rather than celebratory. As the evening progressed, we did not feel safe or relaxed in the environment. Service was also very slow. We waited approximately 45 minutes between our starter and main course, which the manager explained was due to the restaurant being significantly understaffed that evening. During our conversation, the manager was open and transparent and explained that security had been expected but did not arrive, and that staff were understandably cautious about intervening due to safety concerns. When these same concerns were raised with the owner, the response was dismissive and unprofessional. The situation was described as “vibe dining,” and we were told that if we were uncomfortable we could leave. That response was disappointing and not what you would expect from a venue positioning itself at the price tag it is. This environment may suit some guests, but it is not appropriate for those seeking a safe, relaxed, or fun dining experience. A real shame, as the food and the manager deserved far better support.”
