I have dined once before at this restaurant and on both occasions have enjoyed every minute. The staff are young, enthusiastic and very helpful. The quality of the produce excellent and the chef certainly knows how to cook a steak, from very rare, medium/rare and medium, each one was just perfect ! If you like a G & T before... More

I am always searching for a good Sunday dinner, and a lot of places disappoint, but upstairs at the grill was by far the best I have ever had!!! The beef is cooked perfectly and the traditional accompaniments are perfectly cooked and flavoured would recommend to anyone!!! And for only £12.95 it's good value too, can't wait to come again.

Could not wait to return here since visiting last February, and it did not disappoint! Came to Chester specifically to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary at this restaurant. Great atmosphere, excellent service by all staff and the food just melts in your mouth. My husband had the Welsh lamb on his last visit and enjoyed it so much, he had... More

I was expecting big things prior to my first visit to USAG due to the fact that friends had spent the past 12 months heavily recommending this place......my only regret is that it took me so long to go....my first visit was with a group of friends prior to a day at the races......we arrived just after noon and were...

I've been to UATG about a dozen times now and thought it was about time that I showed this place some digital love. The consistently exceptionally high standards of the food, drinks and the service are a credit to all of those involved and have shown absolutely no signs of decline in all the time I've been dining there -...

This restaurant is a block or two from the city centre, but don't be put off - it's the centre, the bulls eye for dining. I'll keep it short, just focusing on a few things not covered by other reviewers. • Staff helpful and attentive, but also confident and with a light sense of humour - they really enjoy their... More

We were then shown all the various cuts of meat on a large board with a full description of each one given by the waiter. We were... More
