Best WLM Reviews
Upscale American diner with a bar. She had eaten here on the last visit. I ordered the cowboy burger, which was well cooked and tasty. They could've given me one more handful of fries though. Her walleye fish n chips didn't taste pleasant to me. The fish was cooked well, but tasted muddy, like I was eating catfish instead. Given the area prices were on par, but were a little steep for what we received. Must be all that doctor money floating around.
This is my go to place if I am down at Mayo for any medical stuff. Close walking distance from the Gonda building and great dark oak/ classy atmosphere.
Recently I had the rotisserie chicken sandwich and it was a bit soupy I thought, too much sauce. The vegetarian chili was perfect and a cup size was the right amount. Great beers on tap and lots of bar seating.
Our service was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu. Offered good recommendations and was timely with drinks and refills. The food was excellent! The rotisserie half chicken was delicious not dry and the potatoes were Fabulous!! The ribeye was cooked perfectly medium rare. Aged well and easily cut with a fork. We also ordered the dessert flight and all was great but the bread pudding was hands down our favorite! Also the Phony Negroni - although not made in house is a delicious Mocktail option! Will eat there again very soon!
Chester’s welcomed us with warm ambiance with dim its lighting and no-line on a Thursday night. Staff was very nice and helpful, but the wait for the food itself took too long. I waited almost an hour for our dishes to come out. I came on a Thursday night and the restaurant didn’t look too busy, so I was surprised by the wait time.
Scotch Eggs (4/5):
Well-made with a delicious sausage outer layer. Perfectly crispy and the sauce paired very well to cut the greasiness of the deep-fried egg!
Parmesan-Crusted Walleye (3/5):
Unfortunately, I felt this dish made the walleye seem very un-phenomenal. The lemon helped cut the heaviness of the dish, but the fish just tasted like plain cod to me. Nothing stood out.
Roasted Prime Rib (4/5):
The prime-rib was cooked to perfection! The mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned as well and paired wonderfully with the prime rub. My issue was that the prime rib’s sauce (the beef au jus) was very bland. I know the au jus is just the cooked meat drippings, but I’ve had other prime ribs with more flavorful au jus before. Our beef slice also had a giant piece of fat cap that was inedible for us.
This is a fantastic restaurant! I have visited three times now. I come to Rochester for a weekend away! The Sunday brunch is beyond awesome!! I have never had one thing that wasn’t delicious!!! The endless mimosas at Sunday brunch are great! The pancakes, omelette, and French toast are mouth watering! Sometimes I come just for a late dessert after dinner. The carrot cake with hot praline sauce and ice cream is spectacular!! Can’t wait to return next month!!! Here is the kids menu pancakes for $5.00!!
Chester's Banana Cream Pie. Kinda deconstructed. Custard, caramelized banana, crumble crust, whipped cream, drizzle of caramel and chocolate. I could tell you about the fantastic French dip sandwich or the baby back ribs but this dessert is spectacular! This is so big that it takes two to eat it, maybe even three!
Elevated pricing due to location (Galleria/Mayo Clinic). Great service and always well staffed. Reservations, even last minute, score the prime tables with a choice of privacy or a place to be seen. Well stocked island bar in cases when the dining room is at capacity(50/50).
The salad was great and it is in such a convenient, central location. The cornbread left a lot to be desired but was an interesting option.
