Thank you for such a wonderful experience. The food was incredible, generous portions and so tasty. Haggis Fritters were a treat! Dessert was out of this world. The service was second to none, so knowledgable and everyone was so attentive which made the evening very special. We will be back!

The food takes a long time, I asked for bread to accompany it and they told me there wasn't any. I asked for the quickest starter to mitigate my hunger, and it arrived after the main courses. The meat was excellent, but it was lukewarm.

After my wife ran the Chester marathon, we visited for a mid-afternoon Sunday lunch, which turned out to be one of the best we have ever had. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was superb, and staff very attentive. We will very likely return.

Food is really dissipointing, tastless and overpriced. We ordered Tomahawk steak, not worth the price. Mac and cheese was nice though. Innitial customer service was great, until we got seared, once we ordered food, we were not asked if everything was ok and if we needed anything. We were seated by the kitchen, very loud, can hear waitresses talking and cutlery smashing. Would not recommend.

I have lived in Chester all my life, but this was my first visit I found the staff to be very attentive and polite, yet not over the top like some high end places. The food was cooked perfectly and all of our group liked it very much. My only critique would be the £7 water. I didn't realise we had to pay for it as it's often complimentary in other places. Still we will know for next time.

Although on arrival one is met at a reception desk before a grand staircase leading to the main upstairs dining g room, for lunch I was escorted to a smaller more sedate room on the ground floor to the left. There’s also a small lunch menu from which most diners, myself included chose slices of rump steak sizzling on a skillet in a butter sauce with a bucket of frites. Although according to the menu it comes in a 6oz size for £12.95 most diners accepted the offer of 8oz for £14.95 still quite a steal as a comparably sized rump from the main menu costs £18 entirely ungarnished. I supplemented this with a soufflé in a glorious Stilton cheese sauce, then a dessert called ‘golden delicious’ in which an apple contained a white chocolate parfait. This concluded a truly memorable meal.

Upstairs at the Grill 100 percent over delivered in every aspect. The staff are warm friendly and packed full of knowledge. Bringing the different cuts and giving an explanation of the steaks was a great touch. The steak tarta was incredible. Definitely a must have.

Just back from our evening at UATG - our family had waited 3 months to get together due to various set backs and our choice of venue was very important as we don’t often get the chance to spend time with each other. The Grill was exceptional, from the moment we walked in to the second we left it was first class service. The food is incredible and the cocktails were made to perfection but what stood out the most to us was the service. Liv who served us, is a real gem! She has the perfect blend of being warm and friendly from the offset, attentive but gives you space and leaves you feeling like you want to recommend the place to everyone - thank you Liv x We can’t wait to return - this place never fails to impress.

Overall we had a really nice evening here, but, considering the price point, I would expect perfection, and it was not perfect. Positives: really interesting menu options. Although this is primarily a steak restaurant I was able to have something I'd never had before: a carrot tartare, and this was really interesting and tasty. The other starters of soup and the soufflé were also really good. The members of the party that did eat steak said overall it was great (partner said it was in his top 3 of all time). Mac and cheese and creamed spinach were delicious. Service was exceptional and really attentive, they talked through the whole menu with us and gave recommendations, and even brought out the cuts of meat we could have to assist in us choosing. Our water was kept topped up without asking. I liked the vibe of the venue with the little individual lamps on tables so you could control your own light levels. I also liked being taken to the separate bar area to have a drink while we ordered. Negatives: two of our party ordered steaks medium, and one medium rare. One of the medium steaks was the rarest we had, even rarer than the medium rare steak and it put her off eating it. Sure we could have complained but I would expect somewhere like this to get the steak cookery right? My cauliflower main was cooked fine on the edges but inside was too hard, I'm used to al dente and happy with that but it was borderline raw. Dauphinois potatoes needed more salt. Salt and vinegar onion rings needed more salt and vinegar- they just tasted like plain onion rings. The desserts were definitely style over substance. Supposedly brownie was meant to be in the chocolate galaxy but it was just a few dry crumbs in the bottom half.

The staff was absolutely amazing, the waitress that took care of our table (I think her name was Liv) was very funny and made the whole experience even better. All of the staff knew a lot about the food and drinks, which helped with choosing what to order. The food itself was amazing, the portions seem small but they're very filling. I would 100% recommend Upstairs at the Grill, especially if you have something special to celebrate. It is pricey, but the staff makes you feel special and the food is worth it.

Picturesque, intimate steak restaurant in the heart of Chester. We all had the Sunday roast which was the best roast I’ve ever eaten. The interior design was pleasant and all staff were very friendly and professional. We ate in the upstairs private dining room for 7 which is ideal for larger groups. The sticky toffee for dessert was delicious, complimented by their Isles whiskey coffee.

My wife and I went here for lunch on friday @ 1415hrs. We had Chateaubriand. Waited one hour for our main course even though the restaurant was not full. At end received our bill with 10% discretionary tip added! I asked them to remove this , as I do not like a restaurant to presume one will tip even though I usually do , think this is very cheeky! So they lost out on a £10 I was going to give them. Also too be honest the steak was nothing special even though it cost £80 for two persons. Overall , not worth the money . Would not go again and would not recommend it. Have eaten better steaks at far better establishments!

We visited on our mini-moon the day after our wedding. From the second we arrived, the staff made every effort to create a special occasion feel. throughout the evening, we were taken care of so well with so many congratulations and some lovely interactions with staff. We were also treated to complimentary cocktails and a desert. The food was, of course, absolutely sensational and a level above what’s available in the area. It didn’t end there either. After our food, we sat at the bar where we were given a super interesting talk on all thing Louis Tres. I want to give a specific mention to Julio, Elz, Liv and Sam for making it such a memorable evening. We will be back without hesitation and are hoping to come in for a special anniversary somewhere along the way and treat ourselves to a shot of Louis. Thank you all so much for the most wonderful of dining experiences.

Made a booking over the phone on Thursday 8th for Saturday 10th. Specifically asked for a table on the Terrace, taking my two daughters for a celebration of My youngest's Graduation. Arrived to be told the terrace was fully booked... Explained that I had spoken to a lady who had booked us as per our request on terrace. Left in the bar while someone went to see if they could fit us in.... They offered us a table in the little downstairs side room... More atmosphere in McDonald's than in that room. They then offered us the private dining room... which i think seated about 10.... After 20mins of waiting we decided to find an alternative restaurant. So disappointed after 3 people making the special journey.....

I visited Upstairs at the Grill and was seated in their charming rooftop terrace with my wife and young son on Saturday, June 22nd, and our experience from start to finish was nothing short of blissful. We enjoyed the warm evening sunshine, which set the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable dining experience. As a self-proclaimed foodie who loves to cook and appreciates fine cuisine, I was thoroughly impressed with the outstanding quality of the food. Each dish was a testament to the culinary prowess of the kitchen, showcasing both creativity and exceptional taste. The flavours were expertly balanced, and the presentation was impeccable. However, what truly elevated our evening was the exemplary service. The waitstaff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home. Our waitress, Ebony, went above and beyond by entertaining our little one with colouring materials, allowing us to relax and enjoy our meal. Her attentiveness and warmth were much appreciated. Giulio, the floor manager, also stood out with his extensive knowledge of their premium cuts of meat. His passion for the menu and commitment to ensuring we had a great experience were evident and added a personal touch to our evening. Overall, our evening was delightful, filled with delicious flavours and meticulous attention to detail. The combination of excellent food and top-notch service made it a memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a special dining experience. Many thanks Chris

The entire meal was an exceptional experience, started with sitting at the bar and enjoying one of their great selection of in-house cocktails - I’ve never been to a restaurant where staff have gone through the menu step by step even coming out with a board of cuts to show the quality of their produce we really appreciated it Lewis (sorry if I’ve butchered that). We went here for an anniversary meal so when getting to our table we’re greeted with a lovely card congratulating us which again was a first. The food was excellent, great selection of steaks and sides, I would say that if you’re going as a pair then 3 sides is likely enough to share between you. At the end of our meal we were brought complementary ice cream cones which was a welcome surprise. Service couldn’t have been improved, all staff were friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend this to anyone, many thanks to the staff for a great night, looking forward to our next visit!

Based on recommendations we went as a birthday treat. Although overall was nice a few things differed to other tables around us. The others tables were offered a selection for their steak knife, we had ours on our table. When we had finished dessert our bill, without asking, was brought straight away. We ordered steak med rare and a bit over with my ribeye a little fatty. The fries were good, daupionise very cheesy and spinach ok. Creme brulee was nice and shortbread ok. We then left and received the chocolate cone shown in other pictures in the corridor on the way out, which we had no choice but to eat outside. We arrived at 7.45 and were fed and out by 9.15pm so can only think needed our table. Although not told when booking, they were told at restaurant no mention of birthday unless cost of cone refund, which miffed us when got bill, was the treat? Apart from our few differences the food and atmosphere was nice.

I guess you could say “ it’s your own fault “ I saw the website whilst looking for somewhere special to eat and couldn’t resist. I knew going in it was pricey, but if the meal matches the hype I truly don’t mind. On arrival you get taken upstairs and then go through a process of having the menu explained and specials offered. The staff are friendly and attentive and extremely helpful, can’t praise them enough. Over your drink you also get shown a couple of cuts of meat. I get it, but personally don’t see the need. Choices made you then get to choose sides. I again don’t understand why these places can’t include a portion of sides but I guess the chance to make even more profit can’t be resisted. £5 for a small bowl of chips is impressive though! Wine is pricey as well, and tbh it was in my opinion disappointing. No Malbec, which has to be one of the best pairings with steak. The wine we selected was £40 a bottle, out interest I saw you can buy it for £5.81 online….. and it wasn’t a great pairing. The meal was…ok, my wife chose a slightly smaller steak than me and it only just qualified as “ medium rare”. Both our steaks were slightly too charred but ok overall. The fries come with chicken salt which is very salty but tbf the triple fried chips are very good. Given that by now we had spent close to £200 on 2 pre-dinner drinks and 2 steaks and chips with a bottle of wine and a shared sauce, we didn’t order anything else. Oh, and they add a discretionary surcharge, I don’t mind as long as I know because the service was very good and it’s what I would tip in any case but…. I liked a lot of things about this place but ultimately for me the food didn’t deliver and that was a shame. Charging high prices only works if the experience lives up to the £…..

The food was fantastic. Had USDA Prime Delmonico steak. Very tender and grilled to perfection! Starter and dessert were also great. The wine list was ok. I would have liked more Italian red wine or German white wine, but you can't have everything. In any case, Upstairs is worth recommending

We absolutely loved this dining experience, we sat upstairs at a very special spot at the bar, the staff were welcoming, attentive and took time to talk through the menu and wine list. I also really enjoyed watching the fantastic bar tenders make cocktails and drinks. The food was simply the best..... from the tasty cheese scone to the complementary mini ice cream at the end of our meal........ Perfect.

2nd visit to this lovely restaurant. We received a warm welcome and attentive service throughout the evening. A slight error with our order was immediately rectified with superb customer service. Couldn’t have asked for more. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was so relaxed and welcoming. We will return !

An amazing evening, with amazing food and service. Having lived in Chester for years I have to admit that Upstairs at the Grill has never been on my radar, what have I been missing! Our evening started being ushered to a high table in the bar area for drinks, this has a French Brasserie feel with an influence of South America and a vast selection of beverages. With a glass of Champagne in hand, we carefully studied the Wine List looking for a bold red to accompany our impending steak selection, we found a rich Amarone from Veneto which was lovingly decanted and taken straight to our table. Next, food...... as you'd expect the menu has an extensive selection of steaks, and plenty of sides to choose from. To start I took the French Onion Soup, which is more like a rich gravy topped with grilled cheese, I accompanied this with a glass of sweet Gewurztraminer what a pairing, my dinner date had the fire-kissed King Scallops, laverbread, tarragon butter & sea herbs. For main course it had to be USDA Prime Delmonico, I love a Ribeye and how often do you get to sample the highest grade of steak with such a great marbling. We accompanied that with bone marrow, triple cooked chips, Heirloom tomatoes and the most amazing Iceberg lettuce with blue cheese espuma and Stilton crumbs, not to be missed. Now you may think this is all about the food, but the service was the crowning glory, since our return from Covid-19 I've struggled with the half hearted shipment of plates we now accept as service. At The Grill my faith has been restored that there are still some bastions left who value the impact of great service - Thank You 10/10

Everything from the booking process right through to leaving the restaurant was perfect. Dined there for my wife’s birthday and restaurant left a personal birthday card for her. Lovely touch. Staff are fantastic. Genuine, knowledgeable (and have passion for what they do). Nothing too much trouble. Cocktails to start were fabulous, and made us one especially (even though not on menu). This is a steak restaurant and as expected the food was brilliant. Cooked to perfection. Wine recommendation was spot on as well (recommend the Georgian Red). An absolute gem of a place, and looking forward to going back when next in Chester.

The guys here clearly take their steak seriously and put a lot of thought and effort into the food. I’ve never been offered a choice of steak knife before which was a really nice touch, as was the birthday message and after dinner sorbet cone. Staff went above and beyond for us, thanks 💕

We went for my 18th birthday. The food was beyond good, everyone said it was delicious. The service was excellent, Elz created a special cocktail for my day and taught me how to make it afterwards. Lewis (our maître d’) showed us the special steak knives and their history. Overall would give 6 stars if possible.

Extremely expensive for mediocre steak £79.00 for T bone and fries I would describe as on the tough side and not what I would expect for the price.

Top notch from start to finish. A real symphony of flavours. The presentation in the way everything is served is so nice. The service is brilliant, not too formal, just right. Special thanks to the team who made feel right at home. I even benefitted from a complimentary dessert as the team said I had to wait too long! Amazing customer service and customer experience Can’t wait to return.

Disappointing steak, I ordered ribeye medium rare , it looked cremated and dry when it arrived,I explained to the waiter but was told that it wasn’t burnt it’s the way it’s been specially cooked . I assumed the steak would be amazing when I read the menu and reviews , such a disappointment . Sides where nice and the sauce though

We had my daughter's 18th bday meal here her request as it's her favourite restaurant in Chester. Tbh it's ours too we come here often it's absolutely stunning from start to finish. Everything is cooked In front of you all fresh and you get plenty. Ali and Cindy are fabulous owners as are the other members of staff. Always go out of their way to make you feel so welcome. By far the best Turkish restaurant in Chester ❤️

Guau, quería una pizza y me dio uno (bien hecho) tanto lleno dos con carne y hecho en una escala muy poco tiempo. Caliente y lleno de carne y queso y carne, precioso. Yo vivo en Whitchurch, pero me voy a montar mi BMX todo el camino hasta el Centro Comercial Pase cada vez para la pizza encantadora, especialmente los de carne. También tiene un buen precio. Pizza vegetal, está bien, mejor ir para nada con la carne. Gracias Grellworx.
