Great food with a good value pre-theatre menu. Good service with a lovely ambience and my favourite bit was ice cream with salted caramel sauce. Yum.
Great food, atmosphere and service. What more could you ask for when looking for a nice relaxing lunch. It was my mums first visit and she loved it as well. Be back soon!
Great food. Excellent value fixed price menu. A la carte menu has good selection of dishes without being overwhelming. Very good service from friendly staff.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Red Onion ,we were well looked after and everyone without a doubt had a lovely meal both visually and tastefully and staff were all very professional , also knowing our booking requirements - to have a gluten free menu . It was so nice of John to get the time to come and talk to us and we most certainly will be back again . Thank You all at Red Onion .
Food was exceptional. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Didn't feel rushed like you do at some other place. Ordered pudding but asked for it not to come for 20 minutes and this was no problem at all and came bang on the 20 minute mark. Will definitely back be back.
We chose Red Onion due to its reputation as good for gluten intolerance. We were not let down. The gluten free menu was fantastic! Both our meals were lovely and I was able to relax knowing that everything on my plate was 100% gluten free.
We had the pre theatre menu which had a varied choice of starters and mains, my wife had the bang bang chicken salad and I had the chicken liver parfait, both were outstanding, especially my red onion marmalade. For mains we had steak frites and lemon and paprika chicken with patatas bravas, took me back to Spain. Unfortunately we had no room for desserts, bargain at £14.50 for 2 courses, will be back.
Ordered the burger... it was so overcooked that I could not eat it. I could not even cut it with a knife. The waitress indicated that the restaurant cooks all the burgers the same way... you cannot choose well done, medium or rare. It seemed that burger was pre-cooked and heated.
Delicious. Loved the vegan menu. Pumpkin ravioli and ratatouille were excellent. Very high quality and quite reasonable value. Atmosphere was nice, not crowded on a Thursday night.
Amazing atmosphere, food was Devine. Wine was perfect. Couldn't fault it. The best vegan menu in Glasgow, and such a wonderful selection o the menu. So nice to have a real choice and not just have to get the one vegan option on a menu.
Lovely 2 course, pre theatre lunch. Food was delicious and fresh. Lovley open atmosphere with a mixture of clientel. Would recommend. We will be back!
We had a lovely evening meal with friends in a nice relaxed atmosphere with efficient friendly waiters. I can recommend the sea asks and in is and gunn slow cooked blade of beef which was tender and tasty. The desserts cheesecake and the warm chocolate brownie were divine. I would highly recommend the Red Onion For quality and service.
I altered the booking twice at very short notice and Red Onion accommodated us brilliantly. The food was amazing and all six of us left completely clean plates! Absolutely love that they have a vegan menu, and a few of my family ordered from it just because it looked so good. The pumpkin ravioli in particular was so nice. We had a great evening!
John Qiugley is a culinary genius. The haggis bon bons were possibly the best vegetarian dish I've ever had! The mushroom risotto with rocket and parmesan was perfection....along with a side of wok seared greens. Such a nice meal! The restaurant is beautiful... a cozy fireplace, fantastic artwork... Casual but intelligent and comfortable. I highly recommend Red Onion, and Mr. Quigley's fantastic menu!
Great food at affordable prices and friendly efficient staff. Great ambience with fresh and airy decor vet double storey dining area. Would thoroughly recommend it.
We are over the moon with our meal and experience in red onion. Staff were superb and food was excellent for us veggies. Waiting staff were great and really helpful as we made our veggie choices, thank you for looking after us.
The pre-theatre menu is very good and provided the food we were looking for at a reasonable price. The ambience is excellent for couples and discerning diners. The staff were particularly pleasant and efficient. The music should be turned off when it is busy as it just is a blue-bottle trapped in a jar but I guess is nice when you can hear it. My male partner could have eaten a little more veg or sauteed potatoes with the fishcake main.
Excellent food and service. Reasonable prices too. The four hour braised blade of beef is outstanding, as is the bang bang chicken salad, but everything we tried was very tasty
second time at the red onion fantastic food hospitality second to none reasonably priced will be back in the near future. its a must try
Good quality and variety of food available. Staff very friendly and polite, could be a little bit better at explaining the options available however always willing to answer questions.
This was my first visit. The food was excellent; the staff were polite, helpful and attentive. I would return here again and would happily recommend to others.
Just really good with friendly, efficient serving team. We are regulars and have been for several years. Chef / owner often comes out to chat to customers, which is appreciated.
Best rump steak ever! Service great and chef friendly. Great to get Kings theatre prosecco deal🍾We will be back🍴 Thanks John quigley rock chef X
Great food and great value. Portion size was also really good even though we were on the pre theatre menu. Can't fault this restaurant. Overall a great experience and i will definitely be back
This is an excellent restaurant that provides, not only excellent cuisine, but ample portions unlike other Glasgow establishments. The staff are helpful and friendly and service is always good. We shall return again in the not too distant future.
Great food, interesting menu and good services ce. My 'gluten free' friend loved her special menu and was particularly pleases with all the dessert choices. Hope to return soon.
Had pre theatre menu on a Friday evening, tasty and good size portions for the price. Staff were friendly and attentive. Very pleasant dining experience
Fantastic restaurant, great food, great service, big portions, great prices, get along but make sure you book. We did Saturday at 6 and was really busy, great pre theatre menu excellent value, definitely recommended
Pleasant meal and good prices on the set menu. Staff were courteous and we were served in good time despite there being two large parties in at the same time.
Lovely staff, nice atmosphere. We enjoyed our dinner. Duck very well cooked with well-balanced sauce. Steak nice as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the scallop starter with chorizo. Would definitely go again.
Our group of 6 ladies had a very nice 2 course set lunch washed down with some chilled prosecco.Attentive service and relaxed setting. Only comment is the online price for both was different on the day. However would definately book again.
Very good service, excellent food and nice ambience. Very much appreciated the vegan set menu. Only criticism is of the original table we were offered. This has a pillar right behind the seat which would have been incredibly uncomfortable to sit at, but there was no problem with us moving to another table.
Excellent choice. The service was very Good. We had a lovely evening. We will definitely be back at the Red Onion and would recommend to our friends.
The food was excellent, the restaurant was very busy and extremely loud, with a large bus party which had arrived just before us. Disappointed with the first table offered as there was a pillar directly behind the seat.
Had the pre-theatre menu before attending a concert at the O2 ABC . Great quality of food and superb value for money . Highly recommended .
Great food at a great price yet again. Despite there being a large bus party in, service was prompt and friendly. We'll be back again soon.
Great to see a full Vegan menu. I've forgotten what it's like to have 'choice'. I would definitely recommend to others as a great restaurant for good quality Vegan food.
Food was excellent once again. Pre-Theatre menu gives a good range of choices and reasonable prices for 1, 2 or 3 courses. Main Menu looks good as well, will save that for a special occassion.
Lovely food - very draughty though! Staff kept opening side door causing a howling gale!! We had to ask them twice to close please! They didn't apologise or ask if any warmer! Other diners also agreed! I had to wear my friend's coat throughout meal! Shame - as apart from that good!!
Always exceptional food and service. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Every time my husband and I go to this restaurant they are always updating the menu to ensure the food they serve is in line with the season. Brilliant !
Red onion is one of my favourite restaurants. Food was fab and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Always nice that John comes out to chat to the clientelle.
Excellent meal and wine and very friendly service. It was just a pity that we had to sit at an uncomfortable table (pillar in bench) until we could move.
That was our second time in red onion, and it didn't disappoint in anyway,the service with a smile at all times I may add in second to none.......and the food we would give it a big fat 10 out of 10 well done John Quigley for the way your restaurant is run with efficiency and cheery happy staff big 👍
pleasant venue with good food in sizeable portions. Staff attentive and polite. Spoilt only by the very loud tour guide who burst into the restaurant followed by thirty or more foreign holiday makers. She then took to the floor ( either assuming the restaurant was hers or she was on the stage) barking instructions at them for all to hear, including the amount they should tip. Perhaps this should have been done on the tour bus! It was certainly grabbing the attention of the couple beside us, who were also raising eyebrows. It is obviously a regular haunt for this particular company so perhaps the management could have a quiet word with her for future visits. although quiet is obviously not part of her vocabulary. Don't be put off though, great place, We will be back, but hopefully not on a tour guide night.
Red Onion is my favourite restaurant in Glasgow. I eat there almost every time I am visiting the city. The early evening menu is just great, and this time I invited two friends along, and both give it full marks for selection, quality and service. Thanks, everyone, for a lovely evening.
Yet another fantastic meal at Red Onion. The food is always excellent and the lunch menu- which is incredibly good value- varies regularly so that there's always something new to try. And the staff are super too - professional and welcoming. Already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Red Onion!
This was my second visit to Red Onion and it didn't disappoint. Nice ambience and excellent food. We booked Red Onion as we were taking another couple out to dinner and my husband and myself had both been to Red Onion before on separate occassions and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food so we thought this wood be a good choice, and we were right. Our friends really liked the venue and enjoyed the food, will definitely be back.
Really lovely food. £40 a head for 3 courses and 2 glasses of wine per person not too bad. Restaurant been there a while maybe decor could be looked at.
Food was delicious and staff were lovely and attentive. Atmosphere was lacking slightly, though could've just been the night we picked. Would probably have sat longer after dinner if there had been a cocktail menu. Overall, a nice evening.
Lovely food and restaurant was very nice and comfortable. One slight disappointment was the toilets - the one I used wouldn't flush and I thought the decor could have been nicer.
