Evening meal with friends. Food and service were great. There was plenty of choice on the menu, we decided on steak and sea bass which were all very nice. Cheesecake was fantastic. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely restaurant with great staff and food. Menu was great. Simple but effective and the food was great as result. Finally felt I have been to a restaurant where I have not been put off by an overly fussy menu but have still been to a nice place.

Service was good. Wine, brilliant. Steak was lovely though a little dry on the outside (fillet, medium rare) . Calamari not so great. Chicken Liver pate, lovely also.

Incredible food. This is a wonderful restaurant where the advice is fantastic. The wine was also very good and nothing was to much trouble for the lady that served us. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Very poor table offered right next to the small bar where all drinks are served from ( and the door to the restaurant) and right opposite the swing doors to the kitchen. We had booked in advance, wanting to try a different restaurant, and mentioned it was an anniversary meal for two. We asked for an alternative table but they said there was not one. Really disappointed. So lucky that, amazingly, one of our favourite restaurants, in the same street, had a table and we had an excellent meal there.

Both main course were excellent, the Swordfish and the ribeye steak were cooked perfectly. Followed up by New York cheesecake and the raspberry cheesecake. A good selection of craft beers as well

Good was excellent and staff helpful but the restaurant was fairly quiet on our arrival at 8.30pm on a Wed evening and we found ourselves the ones there quite shortly afterwards whilst we would have preferred some atmosphere.

So much right and so much a little...odd! We were met not with a warm welcome but with somebody checking the clock to see if we were on time (we were). On finding I could only have a sweeter rose wine by the glass, I was told it was no problem for a bottle of dry Rose to be opened, even though only offered by the bottle, which was lovely hospitality and the wine was delicious. The food was...interesting. Starters were nice although I'm not sure a cheese tuille goes particularly with prawns. But the main issue was that EVERYTHING comes with roasted Mediterranean vegetable. Everything. My starter of prawns came with them. My friend calamari had a little garnish of them. My fillet steak (beautifully cooked and very tasty) came with mountains of them. My friend had the steak and blue cheese hot salad and that came with them. The only difference between the steak dish and the hot salad being that the steak was served ON TOP of the Mediterranean Vegetables in the salad... What made it a "salad" we still have no idea. I was honestly expecting the coffee at the end to come served with a slice of courgette instead of a petit four. It didn't... We won't be returning but I would note that the staff were very clearly desperate to make a good impression and to please their guests.

The restaurant was fully booked on the evening we went, so we had quite a wait for our meal, but the service we received was excellent and the food was well worth waiting for. The grilled prawns were delicious and beautifully presented, followed by the sirloin steak cooked to perfection. Our friend had the snapper which again was perfection on a plate. Excellent value for money and will definitely be dining here again.

Either the waitress wasn't making the kitchen listen to customer requests or the kitchen was ignoring them, but she definitely heard me so there should be no excuse for not getting what was ordered.

I have lived in Cheltenham most of my life and sadly not heard of this restaurant before. My partner and I gladly discovered it when seeking a steak night one Saturday and we had a very pleasant experience. The service was second to none and the food was incredible. Already can't wait to go back!

Calamari tasted like it was frozen. We had to wait nearly an hour for our mains. Steak was a bit over done but tasted good. Overall disappointing and we won't be going back.

The initial welcome was good and the 2 guys running the front of house were very friendly and efficient. The meal took far too long to arrive (45 minutes after we had our starter) and this seemed to be because there was a consistent stream of food going out to delivery guys for deliveroo requirements. The steaks we ordered were fine but only luke warm- we would have returned them but had waited a long time and did not want to stay any longer.

Expensive for what you get . Basically steak on a pile of greasy onions, two slices of pepper,two slices of courgette and mashed potato. Not good . It's a shame as this could be a great little place and there are far ,far better places to go in Cheltenham for a fraction of the cost.

A warm welcome, efficient and outstanding mains. Only the necessity of getting to the Everyman for curtain up prevented my wife and me from sampling starters and sweets. An excellent experience and we certainly know where to go if and when we're in Cheltenham again.

The ambience of this restaurant was delightful (on a Wednesday evening!) and the staff were extremely pleasant and attentive without being obtrusive during our meal. We had filet steaks which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. An excellent bottle of Cote du Rhone was served but it would have been preferable to have one with a traditional cork rather than a screw top! A big well done to Grill49 for providing us with a superb eating experience on this special occasion. Already looking forward to our next visit. Keith and Jan, Gloucester.

Despite we struggled to find the restaurant on Rodney road, it turned out to be a hidden gem in the basement of 49 Rodney Road. Atmosphere was very relaxing, Food was nicely presented. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Ibbi the front of house staff was very attentive. Will be back again!!
