Athens Grill in Ipswich

Upstair enviroment is super cozy, perfect for a intimate dinner. Had the lamb shank, it was good. Service was average.

I was I two minds whether to recommend this restaurant, the first selfish reason was that I wanted to be able to easily get a table whenever I wanted, and recommendation would mean more customers, excellent for The Grill, not so excellent for us!I have a feeling that I will have to book far in advance as this place is so good. I then thought that as we had such an amazing time that I really should let others know about how good The Grill really is!Great family owned and run restaurant, service brilliant, no request was too difficult or too much trouble. Felt like royalty and the attentive staff made things so comfortable.The food all cooked to order, fresh ingredients and served hot was excellent and a long way away from chain restaurant tepid bland fare.The chef cooked everything to order and to perfection and followed special dietary requests without any issues so if you fancy a change from the normal high street food factories and want to have some really excellent dishes I would highly recommend. We have found a brilliant place and can't wait to visit again. Cannot recommend highly enough and have never given more than 4 stars before, 5 should only be used for the exceptional and this restaurant is superb.

Imagine you want a steak for a particular reason, only I know that reason! Well Juliana enjoyed a tale of the unexpected a sirloin steak which she covered it in peppercorn sauce Absolutely 💯 % delicious.......... the story continues

We went here a couple of Saturdays ago, our first time, food fantastic, service very attentive, we will 100% be our new favourite place to dine

Would definitely recommend this place. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The food was excellent and the staff so friendly. This will be our new favourite place to eat.

Fantastic food only bettered by wonderful service. Tina and her gang really went all out to make sure we were well looked after. Brilliant evening. Thank you all.

Burger was very nice however the "triple cooked chips" were far too floppy for something that had been cooked 3 times and were very greasy. No larger on tap and only have 330ml bottles

Lovely place very friendly polite waitress (owners daughter I think) and excellent food. Nicest steak I've had for a long while

I was slightly disappointed by our recent visit. It took an awfully long time to order drinks, a wine menu hadn't been included along with the other menu's which delayed things further. Food took an incredibly long time to be served. Someone did apologise twice for the wait which is nicer than just being left wondering. I ordered the slow cooked crispy pork belly, there was nothing crispy about it but after an hour and 15 minute wait I was too hungry to complain. To be fair it tasted lovely and the sides where incredible.I'm not sure if it was busy evening which caused slow service or if people are still trying to find their rhythm after lockdown but whilst the food was nice the service could have been better.

Couldn't rate this place highly enough. The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. Perfectly cooked steak. Really nice family run restaurant.
