Great lunch on the set menu - 2 courses for £10.95. Soup of the day for starter then the chicken paprika was very tasty, and others had bang bang chicken and then cod for main which was highly rated as well. Brilliant value, great food and presentation and lovely service. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will be back soon!

Lovely Saturday night meal. The service and waiting staff were excellent. I ordered from the vegan menu and my partner from the regular menu. Starters, mains and desserts were delicious. Thank you!

We loved food and ale whilst celebrating friend's birthday. Would have been 5* if staff had given more details on food combinations and sommelier tips. Would definitely return though. Janice

As always utterly fantastic food and service again for our anniversary. Fantastic place to eat. The grilled harissa octopus start is a must try! If you haven't been then you really should try it.

Food was good, portions a little unrefined. Service was middling, with several minutes of attention seeking required before we were able to order coffee and again when we were looking for the bill. Place could do with a deep clean (lots of dusty light fittings and fake flowers) and litter round the bar. Decent value for money < £50 (inc 10%+ tip for two courses, one glass wine & 2 coffees)

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Red Onion yesterday evening. The service was excellent, and all the staff were very friendly and seemed to be very happy to be working there. The atmosphere was great fun. The food was very good, and very good value for the price, plus the wine was excellent. I can certainly recommend Red Onion, and hope to be back soon.

We had a nice meal on Valentines night but we’re restricted to the set Valentines menu. I had pate, sirloin and apple crumble all of which were nice but not particularly special. My husband had vegetable soup, sea bass and crumble. The soup and bread portion was fairly small and the sea bass was extremely small in comparison as it was one fillet of fish, a small potato rosti and a small salad. It certainly wasn’t enough to feed a 6’ 2” man and was significantly less food than the steak meal which was disappointing. I can’t help but feel we paid a lot more for a lot less because it was Valentines. The service was lovely but we left feeling a little disappointed. We’d give it another chance on a normal night.

Should have specified we didn't want a table near the door, was a bit draughty. Was looking forward to haddock risotto ,but only mushroom on the menu , so I suppose I was disappointed from the outset. Skinny chips have replaced the lovely Thick hand cut chips I remember eating here. The fish cake I ordered was nice as was the wine. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak .

As always, the food and service were excellent. Great value lunch menu which has a good range of dishes. Staff are always welcoming and service is professional. Red Onion is always a special experience - but without a big price-tag. One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow.

We booked the Red Onion with the sole intention of having the tasing menu. When we arrived we were told we could not have this as we had not pre booked it. There was nothing on the website to state this. We were very disappointed. Ordered from the main menu and it was lovely. Please state on website must pre order tasing menu. Staff were very helpful.

Nice enough food, but... the place is a bit worn. The menu numbers, on multiple bits of A4 paper, was frustrating. Kitchen Staff using the customer toilets with cloths in hand is not appropriate. Could do with a general polish up on standards.

Busy for a Monday night, but not full or crowded. Relaxed atmosphere. Waitress was very helpful and not intrusive. The waiter was a little bit more full on, and if he was serving it felt a bit rushed. Beautiful food, lovely presentation.
