Yet another return visit to this excellent establishment. Food was excellent, warm and friendly welcome was excellent, but I do have one issue to raise. We had red wine with our meal, that too was excellent, but when it was served there was some spillage on the table. OK, that in itself is not such a big issue, but not wiping it up is! The member of staff who spilled it was under pressure at the time and was called away to deal with something else. But neither did they come back to clean things up, nor did other members of staff who when clearing plates were undoubtedly aware of what had happened. It's bad enough with any spillage, but especially red wine which is liable to stain clothes etc. Please, please be a little more professional in this regard.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and amazing staff. 4 of us for dinner and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their 3 course meal. Also, initially booked the wrong time on a busy Saturday night and the staff were accommodating and managed to change our booking without complaint. Very good service.

Fabulous food, lovely venue, great waiting staff, very pleasant and chatty - a real treat, we all loved it. Thanks ti the sous chef for coming up and chatting with my daughter about her allergies and for making a beautiful meal just for her. All the meals were scrumptious. To improve We were a bit nervous at first as we had said she was coeliac (as well as allergies) and the chef offered her something with barley in. But it got better. Also the toilets let the venue down.

The restaurant wasn't overly busy but put at a seat in the corner with a pole behind me. Had booked restaurant a few weeks in advance so would have expected a better seat. Food was lovely. Toilets could do with a bit of a refresh.

Red Onion is a safe bet for food. Funky menu, friendly surroundings and great service and value. One tiny criticism is that the house red could be doing with being a bit fuller bodied, but that’s just my taste I guess. Still, loved the food and always enjoy going there!

An excellent night with exceptional food. We went as a surprise 60th for my mum and we coulded have asked for nicer food staff or ambiance I would throughly recommend having a steak which had a better flavour and texture than both miller and carther&the butchers block (both of which are high-end steakhouses) 10/10

We met here for a family reunion with cousins and relatives from Canada, England and Scotland who do not see one another too often. The venue was first class, the food and service was beyond expectations and it was obviously the right choice for us. Highly recommended in all aspects for a good evening.

Food was terrific & service from staff was also terrific. Would've been a full 6 out of 6 but the Gents toilet was pretty unclean, stank & there was a massive gap at side of cubicle door which was big enough for you to see out & other folk to see in.

Great food and service in a restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and a buzz about it. Great to have somewhere to go with a full gluten free menu and not just a few options. Makes this a favourite.
