We visited on a Saturday night for the first time and it was very quiet, not sure why, we had a lovely meal and the staff were very pleasant and polite. There were six of us and we had starters and mains, we all had steaks and we all enjoyed them very much. Well worth a visit.

After searching for a steakhouse in Cheltenham, we settled on this, and are very glad we did so. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the place is clean and smart. We were given free garlic bread and a free Bailey's after the meal. Our starters were fresh and delicious, no rubbery squid for me. My t-bone steak was removed from the bone and cooked to perfection, and the blue cheese sauce was lovely. Sadly we were the only couple in, but it was early for a Saturday night before the race weekend so understandable, but it didn't matter. I look forward to visiting again on my next Cheltenham trip.

We went on a Tuesday evening so the restaurant was quiet but we were happy with the lovely background music and making our own atmosphere The food was sublime - steaks that just melted in your mouth - all cooked to perfection and excellent value for money. Lovely crispy triple cooked chips and a super bottle of Malbec. Service was friendly and generous and I can wholeheartedly recommend Grill 49 without hesitation ❤️

Great place to eat. Friendly manager and staff, we had our Christmas works meal here. I could not fault the food or was cooked to perfection, and the drink was nice too. If you want to take a partner for a cosy meal or a party of Friends, you will not go wrong in visiting Grill 49

There are better places for an evening out. The restaurant was empty and therefore no real atmosphere or ambience. The steaks were cooked well but the accompanying sauces did not appear homemade, as peppercorn sauce is very easy this was disappointing. Triple cooked chips should not resemble frozen chips out of a fryer but they did. Always good to try something new but hopefully this review saves you from a poor experience.

I was one of a party of 4 when we visited Grill 49 last weekend. We enjoyed 3 delicious courses of food, even though 2 of us needed to amend our food courses because a group of golfers who had dined at Grill 49 the night before had consumed all of their stock of king prawns and swordfish. Service was good, staff were attentive and, as already mentioned, the food was delicious. My main was a fillet steak, cooked medium rare, with triple cooked chips and peppercorn sauce. I won't be afraid to order the same when we return in the future.

After being seated, a staff member commented that we really should have booked ahead however the restaurant was quite literally empty which left us feeling like we shouldn’t be there. We were offered lager and cider on draught however we could clearly hear the cans being opened in the kitchen. The steaks are served with a handful of salad and not the sautéed Mediterranean veg and tomato as advertised. When we queried this the staff apologised and brought a bowl of what looked like a frozen microwave veg bag. The menu doesn’t make a lot of sense. Offering to upgrade to sweet potato fries for £1.99, however the steak doesn’t come with fries to begin with so I guess the upgrade was on thin air. Steak was cooked ok, however the meal came to almost £40 each (including a cheeky surcharge). Don’t waste your time. There must be a lot better steak restaurants in Cheltenham.

This is my first review of a restaurant as I have never felt the need to before however the experience we had tonight was appalling. Despite making a reservation (and calling at 2pm on the day) we were greeted to be told there had been a mix up and they were only expecting one table (a different group) but they would try their best anyway. We were then seated in the “private dining area” which was in the back room next to the toilets and with a horrific draught (the majority of my table had to keep their coats on for the duration). The food then took a long time to arrive and was severely disappointing. The menu states “ All G49 steaks are sourced, 28 days matured and served with sautéed Mediterranean vegetables, & balsamic glazed tomato” however we received a portion of a Tesco bistro salad and seasoning spread across the plate (see photo). We then received our sides & sauces (spread across 10 minutes from the first person receiving theirs) and it got even worse (to quote one of the party, “I’m waiting for Ant & Dec to walk out”); The garlic butter was about 15ml of melted butter, the peppercorn was being rationed (15ml is a generous estimate). The steaks were very poor quality despite the waiter telling me he had been to the butchers (I’m confident it was a Tesco steak at best) and my £30 T-Bone (which the waiter said he thought he could make without the bone) was 1 and 1/2 rump steaks of a poor quality. One guest asked for the only advertised vegetarian option but was told they didn’t have it so opted for the Jerk Chicken Burger. The “burger” arrived as multiple parts of a chicken (wing, breast & thigh) coated in a ridiculously spicy peri sauce on a panini bun. It was so spicy that they were left to eat the non saucy parts of the bread. I appreciate they were understaffed but the food was disgustingly poor and very overpriced. To also have to sit in a room where the temperature was ridiculously low is almost insulting. I would thoroughly urge anyone to avoid this restaurant at all costs (McDonalds is 0.4miles up the road).

Came in to celebrate our anniversary and we were not disappointed. Starter of the halloumi cheese was a really nice way to start our meal. For mains we had a chicken dish and the ribeye. Both seasoned and cooked perfectly. Finished with a sticky toffee pudding. So pleased with how friendly and helpful the staff was.

Got taken to this restaurant by friends on my stag do. Initially the waiter took our drinks order and completly missed one of my friends (there were 6 of us so not a huge order) We then ordered food. We all went for the same steak (ribeye) and two of our number went for calamari as a starter. The food was fantastic, the calamari was crisp and the steak was delicious. However. 1 of our number ordered his steak well done and when it first came out it was rare, upon asking for this to be cooked to what he had asked for it came out again.....medium rare at best. Additionally another of our number ordered his steak and was left waiting at least 10/15 minutes before his sauce came, whereupon his steak was cold. Additionally, the way the menu is laid out does not make it clear what comes with the steak, the sweet potato fries (while extremly tasty) were given in what I can only describe as disperate portions. One person having overflowing numbers and the others having barely enough to fill a gu pot. To top off this experience, the waiter/manager tried to charge us for an extra person and seemed resistant to the reality of what our bill was. However due to the issues with our orders we did receive a discount. TLDR: Good food, bad waiting and ordering experience

We were so disappointed with our visit. This was a birthday treat and we were really looking forward to it during our weekend stay in Cheltenham. When we got to the restaurant we were the first ones there. The manager introduced the waiter for the evening and said it was his first night and he was being trained. We ordered our wine and was told it was unavailable. We chose another instead and that was fine. At this point, there was no issue with the service. Very attentive. However…. As the night progressed and the restaurant filled up, we received our main course. We never saw the trainee or the manager again!!! We waited 40 minutes for somebody to come back to us after we had finished our meal and drinks. We had to ask them to come to us and we asked for the bill and to see the manager. We would have liked a dessert, but the moment had passed by this stage. I politely informed the manager that if you have a trainee you need to have somebody by their side to train them. Listening to other tables ordering their food, there were many choices unavailable and wrong meals being delivered. Such a shame as we couldn’t fault the food. Not quite the birthday meal we had planned!!!

If this review was just based on the food then it would be 5 stars, but when you add in the service, the decor, the atmosphere etc it only just scrapes a 3. The menu board outside is filthy and covered in cob webs which is enough to put people off alone, but once you’re inside the whole place is very tired and in desperate need of a revamp to bring it into the 21st century. The service was also very poor, we had to ask for cutlery after our food was served amongst other issues. The menu says the steaks are served with Mediterranean veg but all we got were a few leaves and when we asked where our veg was they said that’s only in the winter! Why not have a summer menu as well then? They’re only printed on a sheet of paper not carved in gold. There’s no real atmosphere in there either which is a shame because the steaks were amazing, but then you go to the toilets and see the tiles on the wall nearly falling off and remember where you are again. This place could be one of the best places in Cheltenham if it was refurbished nicely and cleaned up a bit and they hired a couple of experienced waiters/waitress’s .

Every little helps… We went here for my fathers 50th birthday that we pre-booked and was told when we got there that they was fully booked even though there was only one other table that was occupied. They eventually decided that they could make “room” for us. We ordered our food and ended up waiting over an hour. Whilst we was waiting we noticed that one of the employees was going in and out a lot and came back with a Tesco’s carrier bag… our steaks suddenly appeared about 15 minutes later. When the steak was served it was supposed to be served with Mediterranean vegetables… we did not have this and instead had steak with a tiny bit of lettuce as shown in photo! This steak cost £25! To top it off one of the waiters dropped a whole pint of beer at the back of us which landed on the backs of our legs! Truly disappointed, I never usually make negative reviews like this but feel as though people should be aware before thinking about booking this place.

Went as a group of four and had no trouble seating at the restaurant was empty. The service was great and the ambiance intimate. The ribeye was delicious and cooked exactly as requested, medium with the fat cap crispy. The triple cooked chips are definitely worth it as a side too. And don’t forget to ask for the chipotle sauce for dipping the chips. Ended with the crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding, both of which were good. The restaurant is a bit tricky to find as it’s on the lower level and there isn’t much signage but it is worth the stop!

The staff here are amazing very interactive with the customers, really kind and selfless. The food was cooked to a very high standard and was one of the best meals our family has ever had. It was my birthday and they gave me a surprise dessert which was really nice. The garlic bread is a must try for starters/side dish. The food was also a reasonable price for the quality of food as it is all freshly made. This restaurant is the best choice to eat if you are ever in Cheltenham.

Extremely disappointing experience. We had booked this restaurant a long time ago because we knew it was festival week. The menu although not cheap it looked good value with plenty of choice. We arrived on Thursday evening for our booking. We were then given the menu which was completely different to the website!! There was now only 4 choices for main course, the size of the steak had decreased and the price increased dramatically! On questioning this we were told it was because of the racing! This is no excuse to try and rip off customers. A 12oz steak which is normally £20 was now a 10oz steak at £32! Not the way to conduct business.

Table for two and only two other diners when we visited on a Friday evening. Only two steaks available to choose from and they took forever to arrive. My fiance's meal arrived complete and I had to wait six minutes for my boiled potatoes to arrive so my steak was cooled by this time and they were the smallest potatoes I've ever seen and microwaved to death. In fact they were served in a small glass jar an inch deep and there were all of five of them which is a smaller portion than I actually give to my three year old. When we arrived we stated we were looking forward to the creme brulee then once we'd eaten we were told there was no cream brulee which was disappointing. £27.99 for a small steak you'd expect the fries, chips or potatoes to be included. Very small menu Very limited drink choices Compared to my visit pre pandemic this place has sadly lost it's magic and honestly wouldn't return again.

We found this just by chance and as one of the restaurants open during New Year week. We started with a huge glass of delicious champagne. I then had tomato soup as it was so cold outside. It was mind -blowing - so fresh and - well tomatoey - not sweet. Made with love. I was glad that I did not have the lamb shank as I would have been too full with this wonderful soup. My husband enjoyed his jerk chicken which was again made with love and I enjoyed my burger for which I was given extra salad as I did not have room for chips - most places would charge for that. My wine was gorgeous and my husband had some draft foreign beer which was a treat .We were tempted by delicious light dessert - made in heaven again obviously. The service was excellent - so attentive and once we started talking about the food and its wonderful quality he was very friendly and told us all about the chef - who oved to cook - clearly!!!

We booked the restaurant for a special birthday meal after hearing good online reviews. The restaurant responded quickly to my email making the booking very straightforward. The restaurant is hidden away from the main shopping centre about a 5 minute walk. We were well looked after by all the staff, they were attentive but not in an overly invasive way. The food was excellent, well cooked and enjoyed by all. The team really made the extra effort for the birthday cake playing music and joining in with wishing my son a happy birthday. We will be recommending for anyone looking for somewhere to eat in the area.

We were the only ones at the restaurant! He was so attentive and made us feel so special! The food was made by himself as all staff had been sent home and for sure his professional attitude and politeness will make us return many more times. Highly recommend this cosy restaurant!

My son and I came here for dinner while in the area, and were well pleased with the food - especially the ribeye I had, which was tender and full of flavour. Only two problems that brought this review down a star: first, the menu was a bit confusing in the steak section where it said you could "upgrade to sweet potato fries," implying (to me, at least) the meal came with fries of some sort. It did not - I had to get those separately. Second, they originally had my son's burger at over £36 on the bill. When I caught it and brought it to their attention they immediately fixed it, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place.

Completely disgusted with our order. We received stone cold food, an absolute joke of their "premium" burger with Lidl value meat in it. A handful (toddlers handful) of chips and cold greasy onion rings. The worst part is they weren't due to close for over an hour after our food arrived but cut off their incoming calls. Avoid at all cost. I would highly recommend Havannas or Ruby Jean burgers. This order was vile and they have no customer service.

Great service, from helpful, friendly staff at this basement restaurant. Really good quality steak cooked to order. We had a great lunch and will definitely visit again next time we are in Cheltenham.

Ordered a collection. Spoke to the restaurant and they couldn't do enough for me, they were so helpful. I had sirloin steak meal with fries. Very good would order a collection meal again. Ring the restaurant for a meal off the menu.

We visited the restaurant following a few tips here. It was mid week so pretty quiet, we were the only people there. But despite the atmosphere the staff were hugely accommodating. The waiter recommended the rib eye, which had medium. It was quote simply the best rib eye I’ve ever had. Well worth the money. The menu was good, the staff helpful, the decor lovely, the food exceptional and the price very reasonable. Thoroughly recommended.

Slightly surprised to see this place so empty on a Friday night but that did not detract from a very pleasant evening. Approaching the restaurant, there’s an old Merc out front with weeds growing up the tyres. Presume it doesn’t belong to the owners but doesn’t really send the right message. Down into a basement restaurant and it was surprisingly light. It got lighter still as we asked the waitress to turn up the lights to cancel out the flickering bulb above our table - might need some dimmer compatible bulbs there. Ordered food then wine only to be told a few minutes later that, owing to a delivery issue, half of the wine menu was unavailable. We asked if we could choose something more expensive for the same price as our preferred wine. A bit cheeky but you don’t ask etc. Redeeming my faith in the hospitality industry after a couple of poor outings recently in London, we were offered a bottle of Pomerol for the price of a St Emilion. We snapped them up on the offer. Not to be too ungrateful but the wine was so warm, it felt like it had been sat next to an oven. Not to worry as an ice bucket brought it down to a drinkable temperature. Absolutely superb, not too heavy, bit of background oak and I’d be happy to pay full price for this next time. Starter of prawn was good, the calamari ok. Served with a crunchy well dressed salad but batter a little thick. Giggling Squid still the exemplars of this dish. Mains of ribeye x 3 and fillet were cooked as we’d asked. Served on a bed of stir fried peppers and courgette, that was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Triple cooked chips were hot, crunchy and fluffy. Struggled to choose a dessert as we were all full but opted for a creme brûlée and that was well executed. A lovely touch was a complimentary Amaretto with dessert. I genuinely think it’s steps like that that set a good restaurant apart from a decent one. I’ll definitely be back. Food was very good, service exemplary. Would be nice to see some local craft ale on the drinks menu which had only three imported lagers but I won’t hold them to account for that. All in all, a well deserved 5 stars.

We had a very good dinner here in June. It is in the basement and the overall feeling is quite dark, which feels a bit odd on a sunny summer evening. I wouldn't say I loved the decor but it was all fine.The service was excellent, attentive but not too much. And they were happy to accommodate our requests to swap veg for salad and so forth.We both had rib eye steaks and they were served cooked as we asked for. They were as good a rib eye as I have had anywhere, and at £20, much better value than some places. The meat was tasty and juicy with a great flavour. Chips, onion rings and salad were also excellent.If you are looking for a steak place and are happy with a basement vibe then this is highly recommended.

It was our first visit to this restaurant and won’t be the last. Loved the ambience, food, service. Couldn’t fault it at all. I visited with my son. Unfortunately he is a fussy eater and the staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Big shout out to Adrian and Magic. Made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you and well done!

Burgers were ok but quite dry, chips were cold, congealed together and cheese sauce was just underneath the chips at bottom of tray. Didn’t taste fresh and weren’t particularly loaded. Really not worth the money.
