On this visit our table was upstairs. The noise level was quite high and we could hear every word of the conversation the diners at the next table were having. I now feel quite well versed in football and the difficulty on obtaining reasonable accommodation in Germany! That said the food was delicious and the service impeccable and we look forward to visiting again but perhaps next time downstairs.

On the mezzanine level , paint work in the booths really needs a touch up looks dirty due to the marks on the wall . Food was very good and hope to revisit in future.

Has to be my favourite restaurant. Food is fabulous and the whole ambience is just so relaxing and the staff are awesome. I also love that John makes an appearance to chat with his diners where possible. Just adds that extra touch to the hospitality.

This was our first visit, but definitely won't be our last! The pre-theatre menu is exceptional value and the quality of the food outstanding. The staff were professional and friendly. A minor issue with how long we had our table booked for was quickly and politely dealt with to our satisfaction without fuss.

Three friends booked to celebrate a birthday. We are fairly regular visitors here, drawn by delicious food, atmosphere and the unfailingly excellent staff. One of us has to eat gluten free and loves having a full menu to choose from. The other gannets just love the selection of starters and mains, and the generously sized portions. It’s a great space, and we especially love the fire, the floral displays and the theatrical curtains at the entrance, all of which add warmth and drama to what could be an intimidating space. Above all, we love the Glaswegian combination of warmth and humour embodied by the staff. It is this which draws us back.

Waiters were very attentive & ensured we were happy with our seats & made recommendations on the food, which was very helpful as it all looked amazing. Nice touch that the chef came out a couple of times to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. We will definitely be back.

Good choice for vegans with a separate menu. Food was all very tasty, particularly the haggis bonbons. Staff were friendly and attentive. Overall a very pleasant evening on our first visit to Glasgow. Only criticism would be that the vegan menu/prices were different to what is showing on the web site - was hoping for a crispy bean cutlet but had a very good burger instead.

Food was nice and staff friendly and attentive. Restaurant cool as there was draft from somewhere. Decor of florals and lights lovely feature, however wasted by big plastic trough sitting near front door with wet floor sign and other bits and pieces stored in there. Trough in view from our table.

Welcome was reasonably efficient & table was reasonable (a long way from toilets). Food was pleasant enough but nothing spectacular. However, when ordering a bottle of white wine one would expect it to be cold or if nit then perhaps the ice bucket might have been (neither was the case). Service was average, we do not expect to visit it again.😒

The bang bang chicken salad and goats cheese starters were delicious. The mains were excellent too. Lovely restaurant and they had the log fire lit to give a great atmosphere, and warmth, on the very wet Saturday. Will be back to try the other dishes!

Disappointing after previous fantastic visits. We were asked to order about 2 minutes after being given menus, then left for a further 15 minutes before anyone came back to see if we were ready. We weren't checked in on after we were brought our main course, nor were we asked if we wanted more drinks- which we did. We waited a long time for dessert to be brought out (over 20 minutes) and it was cold when it should have been hot. They did offer a fresh dessert and refunded the price when we said no, but it just felt like it wasn't important and we got the impression from the server that problems like this were a regular occurrence. The main courses were lovely, but the whole experience didn't match previous visits.
