what a daring little venture this is. embedded so firmly in its niche; the owners would understand that there's no room for error and you have to execute it perfectly. and that's exactly what they've done!
it's such a tasteful throwback to the prohibition era that's you be forgiven for mistakenly thinking chester white had been nestled in the back streets of potts point since the tilly devine days. it is tastefully decorated with optimum utilisation of this quirky space. it's a well considered use of a single fronted terrace that typifies the area. everything is thought of; from the fixed stools at intimate spacings to magnets that pin the fresh cutlery to the wall. even the menu and drinks list is perfectly integrated into creating a groovy, relaxed atmosphere with limited space.
the menu creatively delivers cured meats and pick platters perfect for that in between snack over a few drinks or a saturday afternoon starter. the lamb was delicious, the seafood scallop arrangement (name escapes me) was absolutely exploding with flavour and the bresaola was delicious also!
the service was brilliant. that perfect balance of engagement, welcoming, explaining the menu yet not annoying. for a place that's only been open for two weeks, the team work together seamlessly.
to get the maximum enjoyment out of chester white, i would recommend it only for couples or groups of 2-3.
all in all, this is a little gem that you must check out!
