Need recommendations for a nice restaurant... Had a look on the usual sites and The Cock O Barton looks nice, despite the name

That's Joey's place
I'm not from there but I go there to eat now and then. I can recommend a few places (below) but depends when / why going? if you want to be outside on a summer day, I'd say before/after I'd say telford's warehouse. If it's an evening thing, probably upstairs at the grill.
- Smoke house place (cant remember the name) next to the river by where you pay for boat hire, epic food (they must have there own smokers  ) and nice location.
- Upstairs at the grill, gastro pub vibe with loads of steak choice. Right near the centre and parking opposite.
- Telford's warehouse, on the canal, loads of different european beers, food is decent (more about the location).
- Chez Jules, bit poncy 9and quite small) but the food is awesome.

I do hope that's true about being his place 
It's for the missus birthday, so was going for something nice and fancy, and it's in July so fingers crossed some good weather.
I noticed that upstairs at the grill place was very highly rated, but neither of us are big fans of steak.

Just don't get the hype, maybe I've yet to have a proper one. Going to Ramsay's in Vegas though so will no doubt change my mind then.

I'm born n bred from Chester mate, what do you and your missus normally like?
On a hot day, you cant beat Hickorys Smokehouse on the river, the dry rub ribs are class. Oh and it has a little sports bar in for betting etc
Chez Joules is a French restaurant, the food is always decent in there, well priced too.
A pub I recommend is Architect, its not too far from the race course.

Yeah I can understand that. I have had a lot of average steaks but when you have a real good one you know the shit ones have been worth.

I'll eat anything but she doesn't like Indian food, she has a nut allergy.
Also, we're staying at the Queen Hotel, is that quite central?

Yea as Gary said, its about a 10 minute walk from town. Hickories is about a 20 minute walk from there. Get yourself down to the Bear n Billet (its just off the river) they do Fruli on draft!
If you do end up going Hickories, defo book in advance as on a hot day its rammed.

I've eaten there before, it was lovely. Very nice location too.
We've got friends in Chester and this is where they took us once.
