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.

The food was great & the service excellent. Only thing I would change is that my friend’s vegan menu cost £3 more than my non vegan one, seems unfair!

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.

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!
