Red Onion is a great venue. Food was all good, at least 8 out of 10 which for us is excellent. The staff are the real stars of this restaurant. Friendly, helpful and don't hassle you. Small selection of wines and quite expensive but that's not unusual for a city restaurant. Atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed.

Lovely place, really nice food and efficient, friendly staff - what more could you ask for?? Will definitely be back soon to try the taster menu or the a la carte. We had pre theatre tonight which still offered great choice but some of the other menus looked scrumptious!! Can't wait!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this restaurant. The menu was good and varied. The ambience was good. We liked the fact that there were booths so that we felt private even though other tables close. Food was excellent. No quibbles.

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.

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.
