Food was delicious and the pre theatre menu is an absolute bargain! Staff were lovely and special requests not an issue. Highly recommend, great meal, great experience.

We selected the pre theatre menu which had varied options. We were pleased with the standard of food and the service. The biggest let down was the lack of heat at one side of the restaurant. We were initially seated against the large drafty window & then moved to ‘nearer the fire’ which resulted in being seated next to the main door - bbbbrrrr!!! So food & service good but take an extra jumper!!

Lovely set menu. When booking we had mentioned that one of our party was coeliac. The Gluten Free menu is mostly the same as the normal one and was already on the table so we didn’t have to ask for it. Food was tasty. Service excellent.

Been to Red Onion many times. Whether lunch or dinner, the food never disappoints. Good wine selection, very reasonably priced, and convenient servings eg 500ml carafe which you don’t get everywhere. The set lunch menu is stonking good value- proper food in a proper restaurant.

We always have a wonderful time at Red Onion, and our visit in November 2018 was no exception. I have coeliac disease, and it's so lovely to have a place we can go for delicious food, where I can be 100% sure that I will have no ill-effects afterwards! The food is very reasonably priced, especially considering the quality and quantity you get. The service is always top-knotch. You have no doubt that someone will be around if you need something, but you don't have people hovering over you either. And everything is delivered with a smile! One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow - definitely worth a visit!

My friends and I had a lovely lunch yesterday at Red Onion. The restaurant looks beautiful with the festive decorations and the food was well presented and tasty. Staff were friendly and helpful. Background music was not intrusive and we could hear ourselves talk. We enjoyed lunch so much, we agreed to book again for our next get together!

We had an excellent meal at Red Onion and would have no hesitation to recommend this. Food was amazing, staff are friendly and helpful and the decor was nice. One of us was a veggie and the other needed a gluten free option and they have menus for both which makes for a great dining experience so lots of choice. I can't wait to go back again.

Had a lovely lunch, even though the wrong meal was originally brought to our table the error was quickly resolved. Warm and welcoming staff, as always. The warmth of the fire quickly cheered us up on an otherwise cold and wet day. Hopefully I will return soon.

Sadly disappointing, ...having booked a table for four, we were squeezed into a table, next to the front door on a cold and windy November night. while tables at the rear and upstairs were empty. The starters were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The vegetables with the duck dishes were bland and the overall meals were small although the duck was delicious. The two persons having the fish goujons thought the fish dry and the overall dish poor. Didn't stay for dessert. Left hungry.

While always enjoy the set menu at Red Onion, surely it must be time for a change? Very busy and felt slightly short-staffed. Our wine order was forgotten and although we hadn’t complained, they didn’t charge for our desserts in recompense which was a nice gesture.

Very pleasant atmosphere: great attention and service by waiting staff. Then there is the food - all of it from the starter to the dessert was one of the best we had ever experienced. Well prepared and presented. The final "icing on the cake" was, of course, the taste experience - wow! We will be coming back and have already recommended the Red Onion to friends and family.

Sadly, the experience was not as good as before. The service was excellent, but the soup was thin and the fishcake was far too salty. However, the ambience was as good as ever I'm happy to say.
