I loved it here, friendly staff in a pleasant atmosphere,the food was really great and a good selection of wines was available. I will be going back when I can for sure.
Great food, fantastic wine list, relaxed atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Well worth a visit
The food was lovely and service was great especially as 2 of our party have food allergies and we had additional questions about the menu.
Red Onion always provides Consistently great food, over the years, in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. pleasant and friendly staff and good service, always my 'go to' restaurant in Glasgow. Highly recommended
Walked in to a warm friendly atmosphere where the staff welcomed you with a smile before serving a delicious lunch. What more do you need?
This is my second visit to the restaurant and I loved the food. Warm welcome when we entered the restaurant and the food is amazing.
It wasn't as good as expected, main courses were okay but nothing special, the gluten free crumble was a total joke, the "crumble" was smashed up ginger biscuits as found in supermarket. The results were therefore too pricey for what it was, which was a real shame. We wouldn't go back
Lovely main courses for lunch 2/3 of the starters were also very nice (Goats Cheese and Asparagus Soup), the only slight issue was that the Thai Fish Cake starter was had fish cakes which were really dense (more akin to chicken), not really the texture I would expect to a Thai Fish cake.
Food delightful, service great. Only issue - as soon as we sat down we were told we needed to be out by 6pm. Surely tables could just be managed rather than telling people they are on a time limit?
One of the most important parts of eating out for me is to firstly feel comfortable in my surroundings and in Red Onion this was true. The service and the food were outstanding, very friendly staff who gave our party plenty of time to deliberate the menu. The icing on the cake was to meet John Quigley - its good to know that it matters to him that his customers are well catered for. Will definitely visit again, perhaps for an evening meal next time.
Great service. The chef came out to ask how we enjoyed our meal. The food was excellent and really great value! I would definitely recommend!
superb food reasonably priced,all my guests enjoyed their meal and the surroundings. Excellent service and interesting menu. Staff very efficient and unphased by the restaurant being busy. Would thoroughly recommend.
We had been at Red Onion before when visiting Glasgow and had an excellent meal, and on this latest visi they certainly didn't disappoint. Another superb meal, so we know where we'll eat again next time we're here.
Food and service always spot on. Wonderful to go to a restaurant with so many fantastic vegan choices. We actually rebooked for dinner later in the week before we left
Very relaxing friendly atmosphere with service to match. A great menu with plenty of variety. Enjoyed that there were at least 2 vegetarian options for main.
Fabulous meal and the staff are always so attentive! One of my most favourite restrurants In Glasgow and never disappointed with the food. I'm still dreaming about my chocolate brownie dessert
We booked online. The restaurant was almost fully booked and we couldn't get our first choice of time. A good sign I suppose although irritating. One must be aware that nowadays Glasgow is blessed with a huge variety and number of excellent restaurants. We were greeted almost immediately when we entered and taken to our table and offered drinks. The place was packed and buzzing with seemingly happy dinners. This was at 5.30pm. The decor is practical, you can chat to neighbouring dinners if you are in the mood. All diners were nicely dressed but certainly not formally. No tattoos were visible (I'm slightly offended by this practice) The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu wide ranging. The food was tasty and the portions generous. We were told that the chef was the owner/proprietor, John Quigley. We would certainly return but would ensure to book early in order to obtain a table at a time we desired. All-in-all a pleasant experience.
Work Dinner. Really nice food as usual with a great priced pre theatre menu. Enjoyed by everyone. I did not order from the pre theatre as my favourite dish in Red Onion is the Lobster Spaghetti at £23 it is expensive, however worth every penny it is absolutely delicious. I have to give the chocolate brownie a mention too - delicious. Although this was not my first visit to Red Onion it was for my 3 co workers, all 3 had a lovely time and have said they would be back.
Fantastic service and tasty food. Great value for money and made to feel very welcome. Will certainly return and would recommend Red Onion to anyone. DJ.
Service was good, food was excellent. Only downside was being charged for 2 bottles of wine instead of 2 glasses. We realized and bill was changed, no problem.
Gluten free and fine dining was the attraction but disappointing quality of service and food for a restaurant in this price category. Will not be back.
Excellent service, the special lunch menu is very good value, food served quickly, and very tasty. Good venue for a quick lunch in the city
Utterly fabulous!!!! Tremendous food, spectacular value for money! Couldn't believe I was eating lobster on a Monday night!!! Menu, service and atmosphere were first class, thank you John Quigley!!
Excellent menu, with good variety, and super staff. Both the food and service is superior to anywhere else in the city centre of Glasgow - try it
Took 25 guests to Red Onion. Excellent food, wine and service. All guests were very impressed as was I. Jo Taylor Tour Manager Captain's Choice
Excellent food we were spoilt for choice, could have had everything on the menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful they helped make the evening very enjoyable.
Lovely place . Been before. Seating arrangements meant I had to be given my plate over as I was sitting at a closed end. The plate was rather hot so I was handed it in two napkins. I don't know why restaurants have these seating arrangements . Risky when there's scalding liquids involved. But a lovely meal in lovely surroundings .pleasant staff.
Great food, seasonal and delicious. The menus offered a good variety of options. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food arrived promptly. Nice lively atmosphere.
First time visiting the Red Onion. Restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed. My partner and I had a lovely meal. The staff were friendly and attentive. We would definitely go back again for another meal.
Chose this place deliberately for its extensive gluten-free menu as dining with coeliac friend and she was v impressed with the variety on offer. Staff were all very helpful. All in all, great city centre venue with a strong customer focus.
Really nice meal and very friendly I have food intolerances and they were able to change up the meal so it met my needs Will go back again
Beautiful food and excellent service ....even on a last Minute Saturday night booking. It was a lovely evening and very reasonably priced considering the standard of food which was served.
Great ambience, tasty food, service ok, prices reasonable. Recommend for a relaxed enjoyable meal. We were seated by an open door and were cold, but staff reseated us in a warmer area which was fine, but if it had been busier with no other available tables, we might have wished we had worn warmer clothes! Liked that it is very light and spacious.
Great food, and very friendly attentive staff. We had reserved a table but luckily it was quiet at the time of arrival. In and out within an hour, great lunch service. Thank you!
Excellent food, good service. Definitely a recommendation for friends. Prices were reasonable and the 3 for £16.95 deal was well worth the money, steaks were cooked perfectly.
Fantastic surrounding,excellent food, lovely atmosphere and very professional and friendly staff, we weren't rushed a very relaxing lunch.Great variety of food on menu. Would highly recommend this restaurant never fails to deliver
This was my second visit for lunch in two weeks. The menu was varied from my first visit and the food served was delicious. It was great value for money.
Great service & the pre-theatre meal represents great value. The French Onion soup is to die for! They also serve the best beer in Glasgow... St Mungo,
We go here regularly and the food and service is consistently excellent. The vegan menu is fantastic, and I'm assured by the non vegans, that the regular menu is of a very high standard. Good range of wines by the glass and overall excellent value for money. Absolutely recommend - particularly to vegans.
Had set lunchtime menu. Very good food at reasonable price all served by a very friendly and attentive staff. Definitely recommend and will be back.
Again first class food and service. Seriously enjoyed the special of surf and turf with lobster beyond words. Always love our meals there. If you have not been go.
Enjoyed everything. Only criticism was that the beef could have done with another half hour slow cook to make it slightly more tender. The fat / gristle should have melted and added to the overall flavour of the otherwise lovely dish.
Exceptional service and food. Invited a group of 25 guests who enjoyed your food, wine & exceptional service. Jo Taylor Tour Manager Captain's Choice Australia
Quick friendly service, food delicious as always. Lunch menu is good value for money. Highly recommend to any one considering a lunch or dinner venue.
The food was excellent and the whole party enjoyed their meal. We had the lunch menu which had a good vatiety of options. Will definitely be returning soon. I will recommend to family and friends.
Excellent service; staff were very attendive. The food was even better; portion size was just right for midday. Will defo be back and have highly recommended this restaurant to all my office colleagues.
Great service and excellent food. I asked for a quiet seat due to a hearing impairment, one of the staff studied audiology so I got the perfect seat.
The food was fantastic. Full of flavour and beautifully cooked. The place was really busy but we were served in a timely manner. Not cheap but it is worth the money!
What a fantastic restaurant! Service was friendly and the food was out of this world. Fresh bread with houmous whilst looking over the menu, Bang bang chicken salad was incredibly fresh and the Innis and Gunn beef melted in the mouth... so, so full but still managed to have the amazing vanilla cheesecake - sublime. We will be back!
Visited the restaurant for the first time for lunch with a friend. Excellent choice of dishes on the lunch menu. The meal was delicious and the service was good. I'm taking my wife next week to sample the food.
