Amazing restaurant! Food quality and service was first class. There were three of us and we booked in advance and told them about our dietary requirements. One was Coeliac, one vegetarian and one vegan. When we arrived and were seated we were presented with three separate menus for each of our various needs. This is amazing, and unheard of anywhere else in Glasgow. The waiting staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, and they obviously had been trained in what each of our allergies / requirements meant. As if that wasn't enough, all our meals were delicious and inventive. We will definitely be back!

I ordered a pre-theatre set menu and the food rate was okay for me, I was expecting more better than that. Overall ambience and service provided was great.

Lovely meal and excellent attention by staff, including John himself. Some of the interior is showing signs of wear but apart from that, a very good experience and value for money. We'll be back.

Great food great service. Could be a bit warmer in heat terms. My spanish pork loin with chorizo was delectable. Sweet awesome. Might noy have been happy at being invaded by a coach party if Scandinavians wanting our table had i not been catching a flight. Will be back.

Bang bang chicken not as good as last time, main meal which was duck was not warm enough as were the potatoes. I have been to the Red Onion numerous times and felt the £211 bill for 4 was not worth it.- sorry. I am just being honest. We eat out at least 2-3 times a week.

Came for set lunch. Lovely food and ambience as always. The service was pretty good, although slightly more friendly would be nice...and we were asked 3 times in 5 minutes if we were ready to order.

Bang bang chicken starter was a bit bland. Had to wait half hour for bill. When we arrived put in very small table at door with a pillar and had to be moved.

Starters and dessert were substandard. Very disappointed as I've had such good experiences in the past, if it were my first time visiting then I'd be reluctant to go again. Was hopefully just a one off.

Good food served with friendly service. It was nice to be offered water automatically. More prominent outer signage would be helpful in preventing this good restaurant being overlooked by passers-by. I was meeting a friend there but she couldn't find it, having already walked past it twice.

Had lunch with their fixed lunch menu, 2x courses for £10.50 / 3x courses for £13.50. Food was excellent and great value. Only negative was price of the drinks. No draught beer available and 330ml bottle of local lager was £4.95 and 175ml of wine was £6.15. Accept that the drink prices subsides the food but still think the price of the drinks was excessive
