Enjoyed everything. Only criticism was that the beef could have done with another half hour slow cook to make it slightly more tender. The fat / gristle should have melted and added to the overall flavour of the otherwise lovely dish.

Work Dinner. Really nice food as usual with a great priced pre theatre menu. Enjoyed by everyone. I did not order from the pre theatre as my favourite dish in Red Onion is the Lobster Spaghetti at £23 it is expensive, however worth every penny it is absolutely delicious. I have to give the chocolate brownie a mention too - delicious. Although this was not my first visit to Red Onion it was for my 3 co workers, all 3 had a lovely time and have said they would be back.

Beautiful food and excellent service ....even on a last Minute Saturday night booking. It was a lovely evening and very reasonably priced considering the standard of food which was served.

Important Update:

Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

Gluten free and fine dining was the attraction but disappointing quality of service and food for a restaurant in this price category. Will not be back.

Lovely place . Been before. Seating arrangements meant I had to be given my plate over as I was sitting at a closed end. The plate was rather hot so I was handed it in two napkins. I don't know why restaurants have these seating arrangements . Risky when there's scalding liquids involved. But a lovely meal in lovely surroundings .pleasant staff.

We go here regularly and the food and service is consistently excellent. The vegan menu is fantastic, and I'm assured by the non vegans, that the regular menu is of a very high standard. Good range of wines by the glass and overall excellent value for money. Absolutely recommend - particularly to vegans.

Service was good, food was excellent. Only downside was being charged for 2 bottles of wine instead of 2 glasses. We realized and bill was changed, no problem.

Delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere. We booked the graduation set menu for each one of us, and it was easy to pick and mix between the vegan/gluten free/regular menus (as we had a number of dietary restrictions such as gluten free and lactose free requirements).

What a fantastic restaurant! Service was friendly and the food was out of this world. Fresh bread with houmous whilst looking over the menu, Bang bang chicken salad was incredibly fresh and the Innis and Gunn beef melted in the mouth... so, so full but still managed to have the amazing vanilla cheesecake - sublime. We will be back!

Speedy, polite service and excellent food - will definitely return! One of our party is a vegan and she was so thrilled at the menu she took a photo to share with others; she couldn't believe the selection available and her chocolate brownie for dessert was the best I've tasted.

Place is nice, food was good and staff friendly. I think the kids offering is poor. Even half portions of adult food would be better than cheesy pasta or tomato pasta. U make that at he when there is nothing else, I don't expect that in a restaurant. If this improves I would go back with the family. Great place for adults though.
