The pre-theatre menu had plenty of choice and all the selections from our group of 5 were very tasty, the smoked haddock fish cake possibly being the star. The waiting staff were helpful and not overbearing, but when the restaurant got busy seemed a little over stretched. Only issue was that they managed to get our bill wrong twice!!, but otherwise a very pleasant pre-theatre meal. Would probably go back again.

Pre-theatre menu very good, served quickly without ever feeling rushed. Good price and this is the second time this week we've dined there. The pre-theatre menu is virtually the same as the lunch menu.

Food simply fabulous. Lovely place with great staff. Gluten free menu for pre-theatre and al a carte. Ten out of ten for making me feel comfortable and relaxed. Some food places don't get the special dietary requirements so well done Ted Onion. Recommended you on the Gluten Free Facebook page.

Great food as usual but had to send one main back as it was luke warm only. Came back scalding, so hot couldnt go near it!!. Sat at a table in corner near bar with air con blowing down on us on a cold day! Got moved to window seat, not much better. Had to wash hands in gents toilet in cold water. Waiter seemed harrassed. We love the place but standards seem to be falling.

Lovely restaurant with attentive friendly staff. I am Coeliac and I had an excellent choice of starters and sweets from the gluten free Christmas menu. I was limited for choice on the main course as I am pescatarian but the sea bass I was served was beautifully cooked as were the accompanying vegetables. I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant and I will certainly be visiting it again. 10/10

I booked a table for 2 people for 1pm. We were five minutes late getting there but the guy who greeted us upon arrival didn't mention that and showed us straight to our table. He was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, as were all other members of staff. My sister-in-law ordered a main meal which we were told immediately would take about 25 minutes to make. We were in no rush and this was not a problem. It was certainly worth the wait. Both dishes were delicious and we had a fabulous dessert each too. Beautiful surroundings and décor. Food delicious and beautifully presented. Atmosphere perfect. Would definitely recommend it and will definitely be back.

Had a group dinner here on Saturday 17th of December. Amazing food with great choice and an additional bonus was the fantastic Gluten Free A la Carte Menu! Others with food intolerances can agree it is very hard to find a decent restaurant in Glasgow. Great & fast service. Would definitely come again!

The staff were very attentive and friendly, the food was awesome and the atmosphere very relaxed - not bad going for a Saturday night two weeks before Christmas. The quality of the food for the price we paid (we had the pre-theatre) was outstanding. I will definitely be back and I will definitely be recommending it as the place to eat in the City Centre.

We were a party of 4, and we had recommended you to our friends after our visit on 19/11/16. The food was lovely but unfortunately one of the waiting staff seemed to become more unfriendly as the meal progressed. This was the only point that could be improved upon.

Food was average but despite having booked well in advance after about 10 minutes got asked to move tables because someone obviously more important than we were demanded our table at 6pm. I refused to move so our food was brought out extremely quick to make sure we were away in time. I have no idea what idiot would request that table anyway it was upstairs away at the back when the place was half empty. Won't be coming back.

This is my 4th visit to Red Onion, this time dining from the vegan menu and I can say it was extremely enjoyable, it is difficult trying to eat out vegan and some of the places are a bit 'studenty' and bare. Red Onion is neither but offers a tasty menu with a good variety that will make me return and recommend to friends and family. The staff are very attentive and helpful and our overall dining experience was very enjoyable. Thank you 😁
