Most enjoyable mealTrio of Scottish Bon bons as a starter was interesting and very good - 3 different tastes/dishes in one. The main of monkfish was well cooked although perhaps a little spicy for me but that's just personal taste. Really enjoyed the fruit crumble. The house red was most acceptable. Service was efficient and pleasant throughout. All in all, an excellent lunch

They were amazing. We were already 15 minutes late due to horrendous traffic and only had 1 hour before our concert started. We mentioned this to them and they made sure everything was timed to perfection. Couldn't have asked for any better. Thank you.

To be honest I expected a lot better from what i had previously been told about the place. Pretty standard food and a bit bland.

One of my favourite places to eat in Glasgow. Friday night was busy, of course, but things started off well and we ordered from the set menu. Decided on the strip steak which wasn’t really strips and very gristly. No one approached to ask how we were doing this time, and it took a while to get the dessert menu. First time we’ve been disappointed here, so maybe a blip. We love the atmosphere, so hope to be back, nevertheless.

Relaxing atmosphere and very efficient service, food was delicious and perfectly balanced portions. The white wine was a bit of a let down though for£20, I expected better. The bee made from the red onion owner was fabulous!

Some very tasty - although modest - courses on the tasting menu at 5pm on a Friday. Lovely atmosphere and set up in the restaurant. Had the matching wines and had to remind waitress about the last one, but service was very friendly and efficient generally. Would be back, but perhaps for a la carte.

Sent back monkfish as felt was over cooked and dry. Maitre de came to tell us that we could choose something else but he knew it was ‘perfectly cooked’. Very grudges service after that. Waited another 30 minutes plus for rare steak to arrive. No apology.

The food and experience was excellent. Fantastic protestation and service. Our reason for selecting Red Onion was due to seeing it rated on Coeliac discussions, and we were not disappointed.

I had a lovely meal with friends in Red Onion last night. There was a warm, inviting atmosphere in the busy restaurant, although the first waiter we had was a bit abrupt! The food we had was delicious and we enjoyed a chat with John Quigley. I can thoroughly recommend and will be back!

Food was okay, but not as good as previous visits. Restaurant tired and has an unpleasant odour, toilets not up to standard re cleanliness. Overall, it's gone a bit downhill and needs attention in all areas.

The food was great, especially the vegan options we were all very happy the choice and quality of the food. Only down side for us was we felt the service wasn’t the best. There wasn’t really any attention given to our table of 8. It just felt like they couldn’t be bothered.

I eat here regularly but this is the first time I’ve been seated upstairs and it was lovely. (It’s lovely downstairs too, in the main part of the restaurant) My friend and I were at a table in a booth and it was the perfect spot for a quiet conversation. As always, food and service excellent. And, of course, terrific value.

My sister is coeliac and therefore can't tolerate gluten, Red Onion have a separate gluten free menu so there was no worry about her getting sick. The food was amazing we both enjoyed our meals, the Duck was so tender as was the steak, the staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back and have already recommended the restaurant to people.
