Food wasn’t good but timings were off salad arrived first then main then quite a a delay for the chips; needed to manage this
Food and service fantastic. Lovely setting. Best steak I’ve eaten in long time
Fantastic! Food 10/10 Staff 10/10 Atmosphere10/10 my only criticism, no apple pie! 😁
Brilliant food and service, easy parking out front. highly recommend!
Lovely ambiance, friendly service & gorgeous food. Everything about the place was perfect. I can’t wait to go back and would very much recommend it.
Very good food in a small but pleasant room. Good grill menu. They had a large party in when we were there, which impacted the service a little, but otherwise an excellent evening.
Starter was nice, but the main took 40 Minutes after the starter to arrive. I had a chicken risotto which was too stodgy and bland. 3 strips of chicken on top of rice pudding was how I would describe it. I didn’t pay for any of the meal due to the main arriving 40 minutes late the side salad was from a bag of salad and did not look good at all. Will not be returning
Only problem we found was that we wanted to arrive a bit later than our booked time but their phone was engaged for over an hour so couldn't get through.
Service and food were fantastic; actually great value!! This is NO chain restaurant! Really enjoyed the whole visit
Great atmosphere lovely food .. good service. Good price and
Food tasted nice but came out luke warm and not all the ingredients were there in our starter. Deserts very average. Not bad but not great either...
Our Steak was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious! Would Definitely recommend!!
Very nice steaks and meal. Only problem was their card machine wasn't working
Third time we've been to this restaurant, we find it a pleasant change from most of the chain restaurants we visit
Lovely evening, excellent food and service. This was our first visit and we will definitely return and recommend to friends.
The fillet steak was excellent. However the management now charge extra for chips (£2.99). Chips used to be included with the steaks. Given you're already paying £24.99 for a fillet steak I think this extra charge is unnecessary and OTT!
A pleasure as always. We’re regulars because the steaks are consistently good.
Service was a little slow, had to ask to order our drinks and the food.. but the food was amazing and staff were very polite. Would definitely go back!
Fantastic food, very friendly staff, however on the evening myself and three others dined the kitchen was under a lot of pressure so the wait for our table, and between courses, was too long. We received a complimentary drink for our troubles and a reduction in the bill which was fair as due to the wait we drank more wine than usual. It was festival week in Cheltenham and I think the restaurant was over booked. Overall experience was good with excellent food. Would certainly dine here again but would hope for a slicker service.
Excellent service and top class Fillet steak. They were able to accommodate early arrival after racing which was much appreciated.
Lovely food. Service was a bit slow but some staff had been off sick. The two waiters did really well. Would definitely come back again.
Fantastic attention to detail and combined delicious food with great service
Lovely meal in a lovely restaurant, we were not rushed at all and had a wonderful evening catching up with friends
Excellent food, with service to match. Highly recommend coming here.
very enjoyable best steak we had for a long time
We always find that the steak does not disappoint us. We do find the tables are a bit too close and hence can be a bit noisy but we are getting on a bit and the food makes up for it.
The steak is good but the service is absolutely dreadful.
Had a family lunch on Saturday afternoon, 5 of us with one 9 month old. We were warmly welcomed and the service was informal yet professional. We all ordered different mains and everyone’s meal was perfect, great steaks and sauces which really complimented the meat without overpowering the star of the show. Desserts were great and a lovely touch of a complimentary pot of tea for my wife. All in all a great experience and we will definitely be back.
Food was excellent. Service slow. We had to wait ages for our bill having asked for it 3times
We were seated at the back near the toilets in what seemed like a converted garage. We’d booked due to the excellent reviews on the food, esp steak. Ordered the Ribeye medium as recommended but came out well done. Chips and sides all average. Couldn’t eat the cheesecake as it was so powdery and dry. Overall very disappointed
As always, beautiful steaks, verrry tasty!! We have experienced consistently good service at the Grill 49 ever since it opened. It’s on our Favourites List!
Everything was great, service food, pity about the limited menu (and boring) for starters and desserts. Wine was good and not expensive - steaks were wonderful
Well cooked tasty food. A little in the quite side but it is a lunch service, would like to go back for an evening service.
Very poor kerb appeal. - rather like entering a car park. Nobody was available to greet our arrival inside. There was a smell of cooking fat from the kitchen. The ambience was too dark. The food was pricey for the quality. Service was adequate but not great.
Lovely setting. Friendly staff however took over 45minutes before our bottle of Prosecco arrived and then we still had to chase the water for the table. We decided to have steaks following the recommendation on the website. Asked for them to be cooked as per the menu suggested; medium and when it arrived, was more like Well done. We all felt that the food was not piping hot and had been left on the side too long before being presented to us
An amazing steak, very much enjoyed. Friendly staff who were very attentive for my boyfriends birthday. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone visiting the area
First time visit and it was Excellent! We Will definitely be visiting this restaurant again. We had great food and a really good atmosphere. Our starters were good but the main courses were REALLY good.
The food was lovely. Came for my boyfriends birthday on valentine’s Day. Service was a little slow but guessing they had a busy evening. I had the ‘Greek Salmon’ but there was nothing Greek about it apart from the tzatziki. Was hoping for some olives or feta but was just a plain salad. Over all was tasty but not sure it was worth the £65 spent. Steak was medium rare but was cooked a little too much. Beautiful ambiance inside and beautifully decorated tables with candles and rose petals. Even gave me a rose to take home! Delicious cheesecake, extremely dense and tasty! Overall lovey however was a bit disappointed with the Greek salmon.
Delicious food and excellent service! Steak was just amazing, location wise it’s also really good. We highly recommend this place to everyone who wants to get a high quality food and service!! ;)
Lovely attentive service and food, would certainly return if in the area. Steaks cooked to perfection, chips and veg good, too full for dessert unfortunately!
Great steaks, great atmosphere and overall a very enjoyable place to eat. Decent value and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a nice meal out.
The steak was perfect. The service was polite and attentive. I would thoroughly recommend Grill 49 to any steak lover out there. Many thanks for the experience.
There were 5 of us in the party. The experience was very pleasant and the food freshly cooked. Three of us had fish. The fish was nicely cooked but we really did need more vegetable. The bass was served with mediterranean vegetables which were tasty but only a very small amount. I do not have an enormous appetite but on a cold day I actually felt hungry when I had finished the main course! - the person who had sword fish had no vegetables but a thick sauce - nice enough but again the dish needed vegetables.
Excellent service & food, really lovely restaurant . Atmosphere is good and the restaurant is very good value for money. If you have not tried definitely recommend
Great ribeye steak and light but very tasty sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce. Nice small venue and friendly attentive service. Meal quality above the medium prices.
Adrian and Victoria.Saturday 12th January Grill49 was excellent it was a very good meal ! We had Salmon and the Sea Bass which was beautiful. We were made very welcome and it’s a cosy place for couples . Next time definitely try the steaks as they looked really good. Great find 👍
It’s a small restaurant which could maybe do with freshening up a little bit, but serves very good food, has a good selection of wine and friendly staff.
A quaint restaurant serving the best steak I've had yet and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back and recommend you try them out.
The food was fab, the fillet steak was excellent. In fact the steak was so good my partner ordered a second one!! Excellent service. We will definitely be going again.
Excellent food. Eaten both in and received a take away. Impressed both times. Quick delivery. I’d go as far a best burger ever. Nice staff.
