First time at the red onion. Food was excellent and delicious. Waitress service very cheery and helpful. Only downside was where we were seated! Upstairs cand gad to squeeze into the seats. It hasn't put me off coming back and I would certainly recommend it to friends. Regards CAthy

Really nice food and service. My family of 6 all enjoyed their meals and would definitely go back. Catered for my vegan diet which was also a plus! Thumbs up from me!

Good service. Nice atmosphere and the food was great. Very quiet at 5.30 pm on a Thursday but was nicely busy by about 7pm. We had a vegetarian with us who really enjoyed the selection available.

Place is nice, food was good and staff friendly. I think the kids offering is poor. Even half portions of adult food would be better than cheesy pasta or tomato pasta. U make that at he when there is nothing else, I don't expect that in a restaurant. If this improves I would go back with the family. Great place for adults though.

Food was very enjoyable although we felt the smoked haddock fish cake was a bit too crispy on the outside and the well done steak we asked for wasn't. Disappointed we had to wait 25 minutes between starter and main. Overall this was disappointing compared to previous visits.

We had a fantastic evening celebrating Uni graduation. The excellent vegetarian/vegan menu (available in addition to general menu) was superb - it is so difficult to find a high quality restaurant which caters so well for both vegetarian/vegan tastes and non-vegetarians. Ambience also stylish and relaxed. Full marks!

Speedy, polite service and excellent food - will definitely return! One of our party is a vegan and she was so thrilled at the menu she took a photo to share with others; she couldn't believe the selection available and her chocolate brownie for dessert was the best I've tasted.

Had a really lovely graduation dinner with my family. Great value for money with the set menu and everyone really enjoyed their meals! Separate vegan menu was designed similarly to the original and stopped me from feeling left out. Thanks!

Food was wonderful, table was too close to a group of young people. We asked to be moved, which they arranged very quickly. The youngsters got their space and so did we. Good night out.

We really loved our dining experience at Red Onion. The staff were excellent, very attentive but not overly. The food was equally as good, loved the starters, haggis based, and the shin of beef melted in the mouth. And the sweets, to die for ! Made our weekend in Glasgow even more enjoyable, thanks 👍🏻

Food decent as always but a little disappointed with the service. We were sat upstairs and a little forgotten about-no one came up to offer dessert, coffee or even the bill. No apology either. Just unfortunate this time as usually very good.

Food was exceptional. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Didn't feel rushed like you do at some other place. Ordered pudding but asked for it not to come for 20 minutes and this was no problem at all and came bang on the 20 minute mark. Will definitely back be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Red Onion ,we were well looked after and everyone without a doubt had a lovely meal both visually and tastefully and staff were all very professional , also knowing our booking requirements - to have a gluten free menu . It was so nice of John to get the time to come and talk to us and we most certainly will be back again . Thank You all at Red Onion .

Great food with a good value pre-theatre menu. Good service with a lovely ambience and my favourite bit was ice cream with salted caramel sauce. Yum.
