Not impressed. Slow service and unnecessarily deep fried goats cheese on the salad? Why do that when you can grill it? Steak frites was stringy and tough (ordered rare).

This was my first visit to The Red Onion and I will be back. Being gluten free I was recommended the Red Onion as it has gluten free menus and can be trusted. It can be tricky eating out but this was a joy. The food was terrific as were the staff. I will pass the good news on.

This is the third time I have eaten here. The usual high standards of both cooking and staff attention have been maintained. Such consistency is rare in my experience. Highly recommended.

Used itison voucher. service was extremely slow and got progressively worse with long wait between courses during the meal despite being a weds evening and fairly quiet. Only asked once if we would like another drink and failed to deliver when we did, never asked if we enjoyed our meal or wished anything else. Portion sizes were small and although relatively tasty nothing to write home about.

Food excellent although 1 soup sent back not warm enough. Sat in naughty corner below speaker which was too loud. Asked to tone down but no noticable difference. After main was served no waiting staff even looked our direction for 25 minutes so no extra drinks round and gave up on dessert and coffee. Told waitress, who muttered apology. No show at table by whoever was in charge on the floor. Poor show John !

Good food including extensive vegan menu. Good service too. Only downsides are some flashing lights over the big mirrored wall, and the water in the toilet wash hand basins was chilly++

Nice menu, helpful staff. Felt we waited a little long to be served, wouldn't even have noticed it had it been at night, but in lunch hour, it's good to get fed quickly and back to work. First time there, would recommend and certainly return for another meal. Very nice.

A pleasant evening spent in the company of family. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Reasonably priced and a good variety of dishes to choose from . Mixed reactions about execution of dishes. Great French onion soup and chicken dishes. Monkfish overcooked and dry. Some dishes piping hot others just warm. Overall average for food.

Service was fine - basic. Decor needs some attention - feels outdated. Drinks were good. Food was sub par - I’ve never been to Glasgow before and as we love food I tried to do a lot of reaseach and this restaurant had good reviews - however unfortunately for us the food didn’t live up to this. The flavours were either wrong or bland and just not cooked well. The food came out after just a few mins of ordering which is slightly worrying as it would indicate things are just heated up and served to you rather than being freshly cooked. I think this place needs some attention in more than one area. We ended up going back to our hotel to get desserts.

Excellent food in very relaxing surroundings. Service was friendly but not overbearing or pushy. Time between courses was ideal, enough time to enjoy each course but no too long so that the kids got bored. Altogether a great dining experience.

Great food and service. I enjoyed the bang bang chicken and my colleague had the french onion soup which also looked good. My colleague had sticky toffee pudding which looked good (maybe needed some dates in it) and I had a lovely chocolate pud.
