Red Onion

Difficult to put my finger on it but it was just average and I left feeling underwhelmed. Service was mixed - the male on duty looked as if he didn't want to be there and had zero personality while our waitress was excellent. Food was decent but overpriced esp the starters and a restaurant such as this should not be using paper napkins and laminated menus

An amazing vegan starter and main course. Friendly and attentive staff as always. It would be good if they offered vegan menu to diners rather than assuming they want the main one, some might prefer the choice

The food was wonderful- imaginative menu. The restaurant was extremely busy with Christmas diners - this did not affect the efficiency and professionalism of the waitresses. However, we were given quite a few subtle reminders that our table was needed.

Good atmosphere, good service and food excellent. We have been several times before and never been disappointed. We would thoroughly recommend the Red Onion and will certainly return.

Lovely food and service was good and atmosphere too, great menu for coeliac guest too, will definitely recommend to family and friends and visit again very soon.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service with lots of smiles helped make for a very enjoyable evening. First time I have tried Red Onion for a while but would definitely think of returning

A very enjoyable lunch and I am sure we will back. While there was not a large selection in the lunch menu what there was was very appealing.

Fantastic restaurant. Food and service was great! Couldn’t fault it at all. John came over and had a chat with us despite being quite busy which for me is always nice touch in a restaurant. Fantastic!

Lovely restaurant - relaxed and informal but with food and service usually found in a much more formal setting - a great choice!

Great atmosphere, staff were so kind and attentive, the vegan menu was great! Overall a great experience! Left with intentions of coming back to try more things on the menu

I had the chicken korma but felt the sauce wasn't enough, therefore I didn't finish my rice, drinks service quite slow, but apart from that food fab

Lovely pre theatre meal. Food excellent as usual. Service was not as good . Brought wrong meals and drinks order was wrong too. Sorted out though and would not stop us returning.

Delicious, perfectly cooked food, especially the octopus dish which just melted in the mouth. Lovely wines and their own beer! Service very prompt and efficient. A great experience.

The meal was good but menu was much the same as last year’s . Place looks very tired and could do with refurb. Might change venue for next year’s annual catch-up for me and my cousins.

Excellent fare and service 😄 Great choice for a menu of day in busy city centre. Will certainly return soon. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable.

The service was friendly and efficient. The menu offered good choice. The food (and drink) was very good. Prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was relaxed.

Amazing food and excellent service will certainly be back.we arrived early and we were seated straight away with no bother staff could not have been nicer. Bang bang chicken my favourite

Great food and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back - keeping it in mind for next visit from the parents!

Very accommodating for a dairy free diet. Comfortable and cozy surroundings with pleasant waiting staff. Tasty food made with seasonal and local produce. Highly recommend.

Quite nice restaurant, food was nice, not amazing but good nevertheless. Good atmosphere. Service was ok, not great, felt like we were being a nuisance just asking for more drinks. They did it of course just missing the friendliness I find in other places. Don’t think I’ll be a regular but I will be back & would still recommend people to give it a try

Fabulous meal, lovely surroundings and very warm welcome from the Owner Mr Quigley. We will certainly be back again soon and would recommend to our friends.

A great evening meal, although a few odd combos on the vegan menu.

Red Onion is a great venue. Food was all good, at least 8 out of 10 which for us is excellent. The staff are the real stars of this restaurant. Friendly, helpful and don't hassle you. Small selection of wines and quite expensive but that's not unusual for a city restaurant. Atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed.

Yet again, we had another fantastic meal at the red onion. Been several times and they never fail to disappoint. Will definitely be back again.

Lovely place, really nice food and efficient, friendly staff - what more could you ask for?? Will definitely be back soon to try the taster menu or the a la carte. We had pre theatre tonight which still offered great choice but some of the other menus looked scrumptious!! Can't wait!

Food was first class and not dear for 3 course for pre-theatre however bottle of wine was dear the the cheapest being £19,95 Service was quick and friendly

Great menu, well presented. Great atmosphere and friendly efficient staff and service. Difficult to choose between Pre-theatre and A la Carter as both had tempting choices. Looking forward to our next visit already.

It was quite cold n drafty. The table we were given was in a strange position - didn’t feel welcome. Food was lovely. Staff were accommodating when my friend was late.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. The menu was good and varied. The ambience was good. We liked the fact that there were booths so that we felt private even though other tables close. Food was excellent. No quibbles.

The food was excellent and the service was even better. Great choice on the menus, and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff.

Fillet steak and monkfish were excellent, both cooked to perfection. Drinks were really good too! Service was great, really couldn’t fault anything from start to finish

Great food, friendly staff warm and cosy environment no problem recommending this restaurant will definitely be back soon. All of my guests rated it highly!

Meal was very mediocre. Starter of pate was wet & soggy. 3 of the ladies toilets were unusable . Plus one of the two which were in use had a broken lock. The paint & decor in the toilets was badly needing updated. Not a good experience at all.

Excellent food. Great service. Nice place. Chef goes round tables talking to guests. Decent prices too. Especially pre Theatre 🎭 First time here. Will be back👍👏

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and food. I had the vegan menu which offered a great choice and was delicious! Very friendly service. Would highly recommend.

The food is always lovely here. It is amazing they have so many delicious vegan options. I just wish the service was friendlier and their servers more engaged with the customers.

We were very pleased with the quality of the food and the service. Also the restaurant has an excellent vegan menu and is able to accommodate various dietary restrictions which was great for our group.

The food was delicious, well presented and definitely very flavoursome. A great range of choice on the vegan )for me) and non-vegan (for my guest) menus. The restaurant is homely and beautifully decorated, the curtains are just fab, and the log fire burning inside with the cold darkness outside, makes it just fantastically relaxing and comforting. The service was great, we managed to have our meal from arriving at 6pm and leaving at 7,20pm so that we could make it to the King's Theatre on time for our show. Would loved to have stayed longer and definitely will go back. They also offer a taster menu where you can try a selection of dishes. Could happily go here as a regular reliable delightful "go to" restaurant that you could take friends and colleagues to.

Always love eating at the red onion. Another perfect evening. Highly recommend

Food good, staff very friendly and welcoming,chef very knowledgeable with regards to food allergies and accomodating with regards to altering dishes to suit.Would recommend to others.

We had after theatre dinner .we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff .the menu seemed to have something for every taste ,for starters 4 of us ordered the ever popular bang bang chicken which was delicious,our mains were served on time and all our meals could not be faulted .would certainly recommend the red onion to everyone and we will most certainly be back

Excellent meal. We had the taster menu. Good value for very well cooked meal. Friendly staff and chef/owner came out for a chat as well.

Brilliant!!!! The food was to die for!! Service was great and also got to try the taster menu which everyone should try 5 courses for £30 perfect 👌

I had the monkfish and it was fantastic. Great service and attentive staff. Good value and I would happily come back again with clients as i know they enjoyed the meal as well

Great dining experience, food superb and looked after by staff. Shame the monkfish had all gone but good choice and enjoyed by all 7 of us. Will return soon.

Fantastic food and service, would certainly go back. Great portion sizes and the food tends to change on a daily basis. Lovely atmosphere for a Wednesday lunchtime.

Very nice food, catered for both coeliac and dairy free. Cocktails nice. Two or three course pre-theatre menu very good value for money. Will definitely be visiting again.

The overall experience was good, however, the pork ( which was a replacement for the burger which had run out ) left something to be desired. The pork was about 1/3rd gristle and not nice to eat at all - not what I would expect from an establishment such as the Red Onion. The other food was good and the service also very good. I was surprised that we ere not offered some compensation for the poor pork. I should probably have refused to eat the pork.

Lovely restaurant serving good quality, well presented Scottish cuisine. With staff who are extremely attentive, polite and smart, this is a great place for both a relaxed lunch or more formal dinner.

This was my first visit to the restaurant, it’s beautiful, the ambiance is laid back and pleasant and the food and service were excellent. Highly recommended!
