Lovely meal from the set menu. The bang bang chicken starter was particularly appreciated. Frozen raspberries in white chocolate sauce for dessert delicious. Service was friendly and helpful. Very pleasant evening all round.

Food good but one main course served late by which time others had nearly finished theirs. Overcharged on bill, only by £2. Despite this would still go back.

Hadn’t visited the Red Onion in some time and had picked it to meet with friends from out of town. Very pleased with our decision. We all enjoyed our choices from the varied menu. The vegan options were very good. Very reasonable prices. Would happily eat here again.

We had an excellent meal on a very busy evening for the restaurant. Staff were helpful and friendly despite the crowds, and service was prompt. However, one drink we ordered did not arrive till much later, and we got this on the house. The meals were creative and enjoyable, and a separate vegan menu was provided for one of us without asking, after we mentioned this in online booking. Highly recommended!

I have visited The Red Onion on three occasions and always had a very enjoyable time with good food. I am vegan so really appreciate having a range of dishes to chose from. The seating arrangements create a nice atmosphere.

I had lunch with friends. The food was of a high quality. The menu offered good variety and reasonable price. I'll be back and I recommend this restaurant to adults. Not sure how they cater for children. Plenty of seating at ground level but if you have mobility issues beware as the toilets are at basement level accessible by stairs only.

Lovely quaint little restaurant, friendly service and good food - calamari and french onion soup starters were good, duck main was excellent, monkfish main very good just way too small - not the cheapest but good value for money.

Steak on set menu, very thin and fatty. Poor choice for kids and vegan dishes lacked seasoning. However, apetisers were nice and good portion size.

Very good value, although saddened that the set menu doesn't seem to change. However, next time I'll choose from the vegan menu, which looks very good.

Dealing with a food intolerance (no onion) meant removing elements from a dish but no replacement. So a sauce was taken out but the chef couldn't whip up an onion free alternative. Main courses were very salty. Description of dishes om.memu didn't quite reflect what appeared Nice place though. Good atmosphere and good service.

A little disappointed in the food, service wasn't great and we are asked to give table back although the restaurant was half empty. The toilets also need refurbished. Not what we were expecting sadly.

I hadn't been to this restaurant for many years- I was there twice not long after it opened. We elected to go here as it was within easy walking distance of the King's Theatre. The menu choice was excellent- a great range of dishes with seasonal ingredients. I had linguine with ragu meatballs and parmesan shavings. That description makes it sound a bit boring but it was anything but- it was delicious. The salted caramel sauce that came with vanilla ice cream was home made and incredibly good! I would highly recommend going here- the prices are very reasonable.

Had a wonderful evening, food was very good and as my wife is coeliac, it’s important to us that there is at least some choices from the menu! Red Onion has an entire gluten free menu!! Wonderful!! Staff were friendly, helpful, not rushing you. Great eating out experience. We’ll be back!
