Ego at Running Mare, Chelmsford

This restaurant is definitely worth a visit Staff were amazing, friendly and very welcoming. All the staff were very intertwined with the amazing chefs at Ego, they all had a great knowledge of the menu and were very passionate about what was on the menu. The plated food looked just as good as it tasted. We opted for both the specials they had on that night which was a duck breast and steak. Both tasting phenomenal. Would happily visit again.

Love this restaurant, superb food, such amazing offers, it is always so busy but your not on top of eachother - so booking I would recommend booking advance especially on deal days, like half price steak night and kebab nights. Lovely staff and would highly recommend it.

The place was packed on a Monday night... Generally a good sign for a restaurant... the Monday special offer was unbelievably good. There were four of us, shared starters, 4 mains and shared desserts with 2 rounds of drinks and 2 large bottles of water... Less than £150 inc. a tip. We have had terrible experiences for almost double the price in recent time so this is worth writing about. Service was fantastic (special mention for Sarah who was attentive and knowledgeable about the food). The food was really good and all plates were cleaned. Special mentions for the rotated salmon and the rib eye steak (worth every penny of the extra £4 on the Monday offer) and, on Sarah's recommendation, the Sicilian Lemon Tart was not too sweet, sharp lemon flavour and very light. A great way to finish the meal. There were so many tempting options on the menu... We'll be back... Soon... Thanks for making it a great Monday night out!

Eight of us came for Sunday Dinner, it was very good (much better than expected) Plenty of choice on the menu Our food was well cooked, nicely presented and a good portion size. Service was a little slow but the restaurant was fully booked. A good selection of drinks. All the staff were very friendly and polite. Child friendly. Clean toilets and entry of parking. Recommended. If you sign up to their website, you get 20% off. Conditions apply

Impromptu visit based on a friend's recommendation & was in close proximity. Set lunch menu good value. Would have expected a 'check in' from staff during meal. Chicken Supreme was tasty - swapped out new pots for extra veg. Mum v much enjoyed King Prawn Chilli Linguine 🌶 Lemon tart & sticky toffee pud for dessert . Tart wasn't packing as much lemon flavour as I would have liked but nice. Pud, I'm told, was delicious 😋 Didn't appreciate young staff talking loudly to each other whilst clearing tables. Unprofessional & adds nothing to your dining experience! 8.9.23 - somewhat baffled by owners response.
