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.

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.

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.

Overall a good meal with efficient service. My partner found a shard of glass in her starter - luckily she didn't eat it. The restaurant were most apologetic and did not charge for her meal or drinks which we thought was only fair. Despite this we would probably return.

Great food but disappointed with table.asked for a booth upstairs but told only for 4 people and there was only 2 of us.while having our meal .a couple came in and were offered the booth.which they took.then the same happened with the remaining booth.spoke to waitress who we first asked when we entered the restaurant on why the table in the booth was given to 2 people rather than 4 ? Her answer was.."sorry" no explanation or reason....no offer of a free drink or anything....wouldn't recommend the red onion to friends due to this

Amazing restaurant! Food quality and service was first class. There were three of us and we booked in advance and told them about our dietary requirements. One was Coeliac, one vegetarian and one vegan. When we arrived and were seated we were presented with three separate menus for each of our various needs. This is amazing, and unheard of anywhere else in Glasgow. The waiting staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, and they obviously had been trained in what each of our allergies / requirements meant. As if that wasn't enough, all our meals were delicious and inventive. We will definitely be back!
