The food here is excellent and great value for money. The staff are hospitable and work incredibly quickly. A lovely atmosphere, particularly for small groups/couples.
Very tasty food, good service and nice atmosphere. We will be sure to return again soon. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food.
We were looking forward to eating here after reading great reviews, and we do love a good steak 😍 However, having now been we found it pretty average and generally overated, I mean the meal wasn’t bad, but I could have had the same standard of a steak meal in a nice pub. Although my prawn skewer starter was over cooked a bit, and I felt it overpriced for what it was. It was ok, but won’t be in a hurry to go back.
Acceptional quality food, lovely little restaurant, great value and service matched. Would highly recommend and will be returning again after last nigts wonderful experience, delightful.
Lovely food, great service, fantastic place to dine out, the only thing was that the wine we liked they didn't have enough in but they sorted us out with the next best bottle, so very happy with our night out. Will go again. Best steak we have all had in a very long time :)
Excellent food and great service, would visit again if in Cheltenham. Doesn't look appealing from the outside as it's in a basement, but once inside the decor is lovely, very nice and not too busy.
This place has the potential to be a great restaurant but sadly we were rather disappointed and felt that it does not live up to the glowing reviews. There were a number of issues. They had run out of T Bone steaks which seeing as we were there at 7:30pm seemed a little bit poor. We were encouraged to have the special 40 oz tomahawk steak which we were told we should share between the 2 of us. This looked impressive when it came but half of it was fat so in terms of the actual amount of meat it was only enough for one and overpriced at £40. Next issue was that having got my fingers greasy trying to hack through the steak I discovered there was no running water in the toilets to wash my hands. I am not sure it is even legal for them to be open without this, and "please use hand sanitizer instead" really did not help. Finally the desserts were all straight out of Tescos chilled section via the microwave. The so called sticky toffee pudding was not sticky toffee pudding at all, it was a microwave steamed syrup pudding. The chef apparently agreed that the tomahawk steak was fatty but they only knocked 20% off the price of it which in my view was not enough, 50% would have been more appropriate. All in all a real shame because I so wanted this place to be good.
Probably one of the best steaks in Cheltenham in a nice quiet setting. Beautiful food; although the soup tasted (Heinz?) remarkably familiar. But the main was superb. This is the place for fillet.
Fabulous service, delicious food. Would definitely return for a celebration or family occasion. Clean and tidy and great decor. Thanks for a really lovely lunch.
Great steak great service little gem, service was excellent definitely a must if your in the area. Make sure you book as was busy when we went.
We had two very tasty steaks and the service was very attentive on 2 May 2018 at The Grill 49 in Cheltenham. Would go again if in area.
Best steak and genuinly very good value. Had a really pleasant time and the waitress from Romania was extremely lovely and friendly! So sorry we didnt get your name! Highly recommend :)
Went there for my wife's birthday had nice time Staff was happy and friendly food excellent reccomend to go just need to have room of a starter and desserts selection
Absolutely wonderful place. Amazing food, lovely service and great value for money.
Only us and one other couple all evening so the restaurant lacked atmosphere. Also it was chilly in the restaurant - usually better than this. Food was OK - bit pricey.
fantastic in all respects. Staff are very friendly, the food is supreme and excellently cooked. The menu is varied with an excellent choice of food. I would definitely recommend!
Great night. Had a good bottle of wine and nice starter.Really nice food and a super friendly waitress . Loved it and will go back.
What a lovely little restaurant! Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and a very friendly waitress! Perfect for a romantic meal for two. We Would definitely visit again
Went on a Saturday night, looked uninviting outside, quite tacky. This was a steak place but had no sirloin steaks, so had to have rib-eye which had a lit of gristle. The waitress was very infusiastic and loud for a very small place.
Lovely restaurant. Beautifully laid out tables; professional and very pleasant waitress; fantastic meals (five clean plates!) and excellent wine. I received a free glass of prosecco for mother’s day. Would highly recommend.
Great food. Excellent service by people who make you feel special. Lovely atmosphere. One of our favourites as the menu caters for most tastes. Easy parking . Easy to book.
We were welcomed by Alice who was such a bubbly person with lots of enthusiasm that it put a smile on your face before even having any food. The food itself was lovely skewered prawns, followed by fillet steak which was cooked to perfection. A lovely meal in pleasant surroundings with great staff. Will definitely visit again next time we are in Cheltenham. 5*
Both the service and food were exceptional, we’ve had delivery from Grill 49 before which was seriously good but the food in the restaurant is just beautiful. I’d happily recommend Grill 49 to friends
Wonderful quaint restaurant set away from the hustle and bustle. Fantastic service and the best fillet steak I’ve had in a long time. Definitely worth a visit
We had a lovely meal, the staff are so friendly and accommodating. It is a real find. The steaks were tender and the veg beautifully flavoured and cooked.
Lovely atmosphere, super friendly and accommodating. Had the fillet steak and tbone steak which were cooked to perfection and delicious. Husband had chips, said they were crispiest fluffies he'd had. I had salad, freshly prepared with tasty dressing. Shared crème brulé for desert, luxurious and perfectly executed.
Excellent food, freshly cooked and great quality. The staff were attentive, friendly and really made you feel welcome. All in all a great evening and we look forward to returning.
Great service, great food, small friendly restaurant definitely will be going back. Couldn’t fault it. Generous helping of food, very tentative made Valentine’s Day special.
I am so pleased that we booked this restaurant for a 60th birthday celebration. It was the best steak meal that we have ever had, the staff were very friendly and the service was exceptional. Will definitely be going back.
This was a pre theatre meal. Very convenient for the Everyman in Cheltenham. We loved the Jerk Chicken. the service was attentive and they got us away in time to see the show.
Superb Steaks , Sword fish also very good , attentive service , Starters very good and whole meal very good value for money THANKS for a great night
We went with some friends, we all like steak so the Grill is perfect for us! We all had squid or prawns to start which were very tasty and most importantly not overcooked! Then all four of us had steaks, they were cooked exactly how we each ordered them. The bill was a pleasant surprise as it was very good value for such a nice meal. Will definitely be going back.
Very good first visit to this restaurant. Service and food both excellent I had the swordfish and my husband had a ribeye steak which was cooked exactly as requested. We will go back in the near future.
This is the second time we have been to Grill 49 and once again the food was excellent. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Also, the prices are reasonable for the great quality of food. Will definitely be going again.
Excellent and attentive service, and superbly cooked steaks. Although a resident of Cheltenham, I had not yet visited Grill 49, now that I have I can tell you that I will be back, and rather soon.
Very quiet - almost only customers at lunch. Not exactly a jolly Christmas experience. Food was very good and also wine. Service was impeccable. Prices reasonable.
We enjoyed great night out and the food, we both had steaks, was very good. If I had to be picky would have preferred the plates to be a little warmer but still more than happy with the overall quality. Will most definitely book again.
Good food, friendly service and reasonably priced wines. Worth trying. I had the rib eye steak which was excellent and nice to be able to have mash not chips
Central location, attentive waiter, delicious food, unassuming cosy ambience, reasonable price. What's not to like! I would highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant to all !!
Good food but not great. For a restaurant that sells itself on their steaks the ribeye was disappointing and well over cooked to the ordered medium rare. Overall slightly disappointed.
We have visited several times now and the food has always been excellent. The fillet steak is to die for! Beautiful. Our waitress last night was very personable, attentive but nor pushy. We have been on previous occasions when the waitress was OTT and very in your face. Last night was a far more relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Ist time at this restaurant a very lovely evening with family the food was excellent the staff were also excellent did not have to wait to get another drink as the staff were very attentive . Will be going back very shortly as this was the best food I have tasted for a long time. THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY EVENING.
One of the best stake restaurant in Cheltenham. Location is also nice, which is very quiet. It is welcomed by warm atmosphere. You must go!
Lovely restaurant, with friendly, helpful staff. Service wasn’t rushed, food was excellent in preparation and appearance. Definately recommend. Downside 8 steps to down to entrance.
Nice atmosphere, small restaurant but not cramped. Great service, fast friendly and attentive. Excellent food, steak cooked to perfection. Can't fault it. Good value for money too.
Very friendly staff, good selection of food from burgers to t bone steak with chicken and fish as well. Not much choice for vegetarians though, but I think they would be happy to work something out if asked. Good atmosphere
We were greeted by a very friendly waiter and shown to our table. The menu had a good choice of food but we decided on the steaks and were so glad we did. Beautifully tender, tasty and with a good side of Mediterranean vegetables. All the staff were very friendly and attentive.We will definitely visit again.
My family took me to Grill 49 to celebrate my birthday. As always our meals were exceptional, the staff were friendly and accommodating and the restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend as always.
Great food, really enjoyed the 3 course lunch. Although limited choice, it still gave us the options we wanted. Very good service from the waitress, really helped make us feel welcome.
The food was excellent, in particular the steaks. Enthusiasm serving staff, attentive. Restaurant was quiet but it was a Tuesday night so to be expected.
