Et Alia in Cheshire West and Chester

Why did this place take an on line booking, confirm it,, AND NOT Tell us you were CLOSED!!!! Angry. Cost us a taxi fare and a ruined evening

Closing today for good. Demolition will go ahead I think. Very sad. First a pub with a great garden, then an expensive and not so great restaurant. Et Alia in recent years has been favourite place to go and it'll be sorely missed

My boyfriend and I visited Chester for two nights and both nights we visited Et Alia at the Red House. For the price we paid, the food was outstanding and delicious. We didn’t want to leave so we ended up getting dessert which was amazing. The staff were so welcoming and accommodated us even though, on the second night, it was incredibly busy and we did not have a reservation. A staff member named Phillippe was particularly lovely and we’d like to thank him and all the staff!

Our favourite restaurant in Chester, we dine here most weeks. Fantastic setting on the River Dee with stunning views of the city skyline, A great venue with really friendly attentive staff and service. The food is excellent, we especially like the pasta and pizza dishes. The upper floor has good disabled access. Unfortunately the restaurant will be closing at this location in the NY, we sincerely hope that when the team relocated to new premises it will be in the Chester area and we can continue to visit regularly.

Just stunning! Amazing service, beautiful restaurant and have forgotten how superb the food is! I’d thoroughly recommend this fantastic restaurant. Why do we even tho k about going elsewhere? This is my new favourite! Definitely on a par with Made in Italy and perhaps actually a bit better!! Love it!

We go regularly. Always a great experience. Lovely location in banks of river dee so we can watch boats sailing (or rowing) up and down. Had many things off menu - always been great. Always nice, fresh tasting hot meals. Must also mention the service/staff are very professional, friendly and welcoming. .

Fantastic setting on the River Dee with stunning views. Lovely restaurant and really friendly attentive service. Food was excellent also. We will be going back

Superb outlook on a beautiful day, Wonderful service & excellent food @ reasonable prices. Drinks are standard for an establishment such as this. Overall, a great dining experience 👍🙂

A beautifully cooked meal and stunning ambiance. Would definitely recommend coming to this establishment.

Where do I start with the positives, great location / outlook, great food, great service / staff. Parking may be a challenge but don't let this put you off since there appears to be enough roadside parking to cope. If you've never been before than I'd recommend this establishment either for couples or family groups. We went on a wet afternoon about a week ago and the outlook was still good, with a riverside location and outside tables etc then on a fine day then this eatery is a must.

Very good service, food and value for money we will definitely be returning! My father had the soup and the seafood linguini and I had the calzone, both recommended. Enjoy

Incredible atmosphere, top quality, fresh food. The waiters are very friendly and helpful! For sure i will back again.

The food in this restaurant is very authentic Italian and delicious. The venue is fantastic with wonderful views of the River Dee and gardens leading down to a jetty overlooking it

Good food, excellent service, polite and efficient staff. A really nice restaurant with great views over the river and comfortable atmosphere

Great view- lovely food. Wednesday 50% off too. Staff were very friendly- well worth a visit. Highly recommended

We have been multiple times and the service has been warm and top quality. The food is perfection every time but the staff are just the icing on top. The smells from the kitchen are...wow. Great value for money too!! Grazie!! :)

I think that people need to be aware that the restaurant automatically add a service charge to your bill which you don't have to pay And do nothing about it when you have left the restaurant ser

We visited Wednesday evening meal was lovely but never knew or told about service charges when we got home we were shocked we had been automatically charged and not asked I rang the restaurant spoke to a gentleman told me to call back the next...

Always a warm welcome from Et Alia. Staff are friendly and happy to help, and very attentive with their service. Food is delicious and there is plenty of variety too! I can highly recommend this restaurant if you are in the Great Boughton area.

Found this lovely place on a weekend away, best calzone my husband has had he says. All the food was excellent and lovely personal service. Stunning views and a varied menu.

Beautiful view, great service, great food. Live locally and visit often, would highly recommend to families, couples and groups

They would not let us take out and spoke to us in an unkind manor after us arriving by boat there it says “moor up and enjoy Italian food” there was many tables available but said they had no room for us, would not visit!

We visited Et Alia for an Italian-style afternoon tea. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent, the quality of food in particular was exceptional. What would usually be the sandwiches section was bruschetta based rather than bread, with typical Italian toppings of chicken, beef, prawns...

Excellent food and excellent service. Staff very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our visit. Been many time and will definitely be back

Et Alia never disappoints. Stunning views, attentive staff and delicious food. Always receive service with a smile, generously sized pizzas and a well thought out playlist added to the ambience inside the restaurant. I personally recommend any of the pasta dishes as starters. Sets you...

The most perfect Pizzas Pasta is great too. I can highly recommend the red wine !! Great staff and beautiful location

Decided to nip to one of our favourite spots with our little girl for lunch. It did not disappoint. She is nearly one and absolutely loved it.. staff.. food.. atmosphere.. venue .. absolutely beautiful. Bambino menu plenty of choice and she approved of it all.

Absolute gem of a place right on the edge of the river dee. Amazing scenery, amazing food and very helpful staff as well. Can't wait to return. Everything here had the wow factor.

The best Italian restaurant in Chester! The food was amazing and the staff is really friendly and polite. I’m sure I’ll be back.

Very good food and atmosphere, polite and efficient staff. Definitely recommend for a couple or a group.

Beautiful setting in Chester, really good value especially on a Wednesday or Thursday with 50% off pizza, pasta and carne dishes. The staff were attentive, service was perfect, will definitely be back soon!

Excellent restaurant serving Italian food and epic homemade pizzas. Fantastic location with views of the river Dee and great staff.

We have been a few times for a meal here because it’s just a 15 minute walk and they let us down last night . Having enjoyed our visits in the past we were disappointed with last nights visit . First off the food was...

All eleven of us (friends of all ages) thoroughly enjoyed our meal on Thursday (2/3/23) Delicious food. Attractive environment. Great view. Being an 'offer' day, plenty of choices within our budget.

We have visited here numerous times and so booked for our dinner on Christmas Day. The food and service were exceptional and it made for a really special occasion in a lovely setting

Husband & I visited for the first time. A warm welcome on arrival, friendly knowledgeable staff. Lovely mocktail & not over priced. Food was delicious well cooked & very good value for money. Would certainly recommend.

We’ve had lots of amazing means here recently but our best yet was our family lunch on Christmas Day! Well done all the staff at Et Alia for the amazing reception, food, drinks and service! 👏👏👏 We had the best Christmas meal, ever! 😍🙌🥂🍾

We went here for dinner with friends. We were well looked after by Raul, who was very friendly and attentive. Great services and nice food! Will definitely visit again.

This is an excellent restaurant, which we have not visited for a while. The restaurant is a unique space that exudes warmth. The food is excellent, the staff are even better. Mario has an outstanding team of staff in the kitchen and on the floor....

Another delicious lunch today. Mario is the most professional maitre de and everyone on the staff, today Raul and Chris, could not be more helpful and caring. Beautiful setting even on such a dreadful day.

Booked for their afternoon tea as a Saturday afternoon treat. It was delicious, very tasty toppings on the bruschetta range, and cakes were on another level. Service was excellent and the attention to detail by the waiters and chefs made afternoon tea very special. We...

Stopped in for lunch and couldn’t fault a thing. The service was great, lovely food (large portion sizes) beautiful setting… definitely the best Italian I have visited in a while!

I love this place! This was my third visit, with a group of friends who have never been before. We caught the boat trip down the river to the restaurant, which was a great way to arrive. We were greeted with a free glass of...

Our experience last night was excellent in every aspect. Great atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff, fantastic service, amazing food- 5 of us all had different mains which were equally great and we had 5 outstanding desserts. A lovely evening all round thank you.

We visited as a family for a birthday. The restaurant is really very pretty & stunning with the fairy lights & view. The food was great & staff were all very friendly.

We went for my daughter 18th birthday it was fantastic everything was excellent food Good size portions, staff couldn't do enough .

Would have scored less if not on the half price Wednesday offer. Had two steaks and a pizza, both steaks were average but the pizza was nice. Maybe was a bad choice on our behalf in an Italian? Also seen a dead fly in the...

Recently celebrated my daughters 21st birthday. There were 10 of us on a Tuesday evening. The service was fantastic and the food was authentic and really tasty, we all had different dishes and everyone enjoyed it. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Food was great, had a gorgeous chicken dish, service ok (staff seemed a bit grumpy) only leaving a review to tell everyone not to believe the comments on here about parking. I did and my car is now locked in a car park. THE CAR...

Been visiting Et Alia for over 6 years now, we live just 10 minute walk away. It’s great and the view is just perfect. We’ve been there celebrating birthdays, seen in New year there, I’ve had lunch with my mother there, breakfast with the family...

I was at a party of 30 people, the restaurant is in a spectacular position overlooking the river Dee, the staff were more than helpful, the lasagne was amazing,very tasty, I can highly recommend this restaurant

Visited with a large group.of about 30 friends for a double leaving party. Place is stunning with gorg views over the river dee. Decor is beautiful and the place has a really relaxing atmosphere. The food was really really delicious and the menu has something...

First time visit. Would definitely go again. Food exceptional & the staff were lovely. Nothing to much trouble.

Had a fabulous night with a large group of friends. Staff were attentive food was great as there was 30 of us to cater for and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, would highly recommend.

Extremely poor eating experience. Ordered pizza that was nothing like anything I’ve ever tasted. Didn’t even smell like an authentic Italian pizza! Base was thin and tasteless and toppings very sparse with a mix of strange flavours. The staff were attentive and polite. Setting is...

My Mum and I enjoyed dinner on a Tuesday evening where we were given a warm welcome, had a great view of the River Dee from our table, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The menu has something for everyone; my Mum enjoyed the...

We read reviews from previous customers yet book a table for six (apprehensively) but with an open mind from what we had read. Being Italian decent and with family from a catering background, we dod have high expectations from such places. All I can say...

Booked for Sunday Lunch which was reasonably priced and very tasty . Great service with fantastic views of the Dee. Would be nice to sit on the garden on a hot dry day . Definitely recommend.

Flavourless pasta, very disappointing. No seasoning, no sauce, won't be eating here again. Beautiful views though.

Great location just on the river. Huge glass front which means the scenery is great. Big menu. Tasty food. Cocktail menu looked amazing. Was a nice evening

Good service but poor food. I ordered king prawns and mussels for starters and king prawn linguini main. All has the same sauce - tasted the same! I asked the waiter about this and he confirmed with the chef - yes they all have the...

The menu shouldn't be in Italian , there's nothing about the food that is Italian. It's like food you'd expect in a motorway services, but the wine was good

Below average food and service but views are lovely. It’s a real shame as the setting is amazing and on first impressions you’d expect to be in for a real treat.Staff seem uninterested and service is poor. The food although simples ingredients is the worst Italian food I’ve ever had.

Firstly, let me say how lovely the meal itself was. Wonderful food for sure. It's just a shame we were let down by some incredibly slow and inadequate service. 3 hours for a 2-course meal- we actually had to cancel out desserts and go to the desk to pay because it had been over a half hour for them and we needed to leave. It felt like we kept getting forgotten about. Even our drinks were slow and the venue was really empty. Finally, and this for me is the deal breaker, not one member of staff, regardless how friendly they presented themselves, not a one offered any sort of apology for the delay, not a simple we're sorry, is that so hard? it goes a hell of a long way to how your guests feel when they leave, but they couldn't bother to say two words, or simple didn't care? Not even for the mistake made to one of our meals. Really such a shame, so much potential and a nice meal just let themselves down on the night.

Having come to the restaurant for the first time with the family and a young child 2 1/5 yer old.We had ordered food and and the meal in total took two and a half hours to come.We asked three times for the child’s ice cream to come and it was ignoredNot the we were complaining on our service but the table behind also had your children and themselves had to complain and ask why they haven’t received food.Nice setting, nice food when it came but the worst service I’ve received from all the places we have eaten.Will not be returning again and the service side of this place takes some training and development to say the least.Then the cheap tia so for a service charge on the bill at the end !!
