What a find! From the moment we walked in the door, the staff were friendly and efficient. The menu choices were great across all 3 courses and all 3 courses were full of flavour and ample sized portions.

This was our 8th or 9th visit to Red Onion as it is has always been great food and very good value and have posted reviews to this effect in the past. Service and ambience as excellent as always but on this occasion part of the meal did not match the usual high standards. The starters were excellent but our steaks and frites main course were not as good. Both medium-rare and rare steaks ordered were well done and chewy and the frites seemed to be flavourless frozen oven fries. Desserts also were excellent. Perhaps just unlucky with the steaks. Will certainly be returning to Red Onion again. Still one of the best in Glasgow.

Dined from the a la carte menu, and there was an excellent choice of starters, mains and desserts. There was a set menu option which also offered fantastic value and choice. The food was delicious, possibly one of the best meals we have had. The service was great, friendly staff, short waiting times between courses and overall the experience was perfect. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and we will definitely be back for another meal. Try the cocktails, they are fantastic. If I had one thing to add, I’d ask for a margarita to be added to the menu!

I had eaten at the Red Onion only once, several years ago, prior to this visit but the experience was memorable. My last visit was equally so, the food was superb, as were all the staff. Will certainly not leave it so long till my next visit. Thank you.

Starter was very good. Main? We should have complained but couldnt face it. Fish cakes had almost no fish in them and were swimming in a plate of warm cream. Extremely disappointing for what was once a good restaurant. We’ll vote with our feet- and tell our friends.

Me and my friend visited for lunch at the weekend. The awkward walk into curtains at the front door made it feel like a secluded place which may be a good, sort-of hidden place for something to eat (it was pre-booked). This illusion was shattered with the arrival of the food, the bang bang chicken probably exploded some time ago, wasn't spicy or warm, and the potatoes in the patatas bravas were very hard. On top of this, the noise from a number of the other tables was obscene - at times it would have required matching volume to battle the din but this would only have exacerbated the situation. Overall, very disappointing for us both.

First time diners at the Red Onion. Nice decor. The taster menu didn't have much on it that we liked so we had to opt for the 2 course a la carte. The scallops as a starter were excellent as was the rib eye steak for the main. I ended with the cheese board but wasn't too impressed with that. There was no butter and no celery or grapes or apple with it. Cheese selection could have been better. The blue cheese was rather dry. The brie was nice and creamy and the apple wood cheddar very smoky. All in all a nice experience but unfortunately I don't think I'll be back.

Great food but rude service from a female server. The couple next to us felt the same and actually spoke to us about it. Food was practically thrown at us without any eye contact or pleasantry. Later a male server started work and he was lovely. Friendly and efficient. We asked to pay the bill and were met with the female server again with stony silence and a card machine thrust in front of us. Not a word spoken!! Don’t think we will be back!
