We had a nice meal on Valentines night but we’re restricted to the set Valentines menu. I had pate, sirloin and apple crumble all of which were nice but not particularly special. My husband had vegetable soup, sea bass and crumble. The soup and bread portion was fairly small and the sea bass was extremely small in comparison as it was one fillet of fish, a small potato rosti and a small salad. It certainly wasn’t enough to feed a 6’ 2” man and was significantly less food than the steak meal which was disappointing. I can’t help but feel we paid a lot more for a lot less because it was Valentines. The service was lovely but we left feeling a little disappointed. We’d give it another chance on a normal night.

Should have specified we didn't want a table near the door, was a bit draughty. Was looking forward to haddock risotto ,but only mushroom on the menu , so I suppose I was disappointed from the outset. Skinny chips have replaced the lovely Thick hand cut chips I remember eating here. The fish cake I ordered was nice as was the wine. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak .

As always, the food and service were excellent. Great value lunch menu which has a good range of dishes. Staff are always welcoming and service is professional. Red Onion is always a special experience - but without a big price-tag. One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow.

Visited Red Onion for first time to celebrate my son's birthday. The 4 of us enjoyed our starters and the main courses were delicious. The service was very good and we all had a super evening.

We booked the Red Onion with the sole intention of having the tasing menu. When we arrived we were told we could not have this as we had not pre booked it. There was nothing on the website to state this. We were very disappointed. Ordered from the main menu and it was lovely. Please state on website must pre order tasing menu. Staff were very helpful.

Nice enough food, but... the place is a bit worn. The menu numbers, on multiple bits of A4 paper, was frustrating. Kitchen Staff using the customer toilets with cloths in hand is not appropriate. Could do with a general polish up on standards.

Busy for a Monday night, but not full or crowded. Relaxed atmosphere. Waitress was very helpful and not intrusive. The waiter was a little bit more full on, and if he was serving it felt a bit rushed. Beautiful food, lovely presentation.

Great restaurant and menus, they catered for me with their Vegan menu when my friend had their normal menu. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would definitely be back!! Only reason it’s not full marks is the seat we were at caused us to be really cold, along with my bean burger was missing from my plate. Sorted out straight away by the chef who was an absolute delight and came and spoke with us at various times. Will be back very soon!!

My fiancé and I had an excellent dinner before seeing a show at the King's Theatre. I have a dairy intolerance and was delighted to find a full 3 course dairy free menu was available! This means I was able to have a dessert which I almost always have to miss out on! There is also a vegan menu and gluten free options, and so it is accommodating of all requirements. The food was absolutely delicious and just the right portions of food for 3 courses. I would highly recommend the fruit crumble for dessert! The staff were very helpful and answered all questions I had about the menu. Lovely atmosphere - we will definitely be returning!
