Čestr - Ambiente

Even though other restaurants have failed in [this] location, I have little doubt it will succeed. I'd consider it one of the best dining and beer drinking options around Wenceslas Square. That said, there's not a lot of top quality, good value competition in the immediate area.

If my prime goal is steak, Čestr would not be my first choice. Personally, I'd go for the rib eye at El Barrio de Ángel, the tenderloin with Chianti reduction at U Emy Destinnové, or the rib eye in the low-rent surroundings of Crazy Cow.

Čestr is definitely worth a try, and I'll be back, I'm sure -- especially for the great beer, fries, and peanut ice cream.

I went to Čestr four times because the concept intrigued me. I'd never seen anything quite like it before.

I'm still not exactly sure what to make of it or even how to categorize it. Calling it a steakhouse seems wrong, but that's as close as I'll get for now.
