Very impressed with this restaurant. Loved the red/purple design & spacious table room. I visited years ago & had forgotten what a gem it is. There was four of us & the pre-theatre menu had plenty and varied choices to suit everyone at £16.95 for 3 courses. Good amount of food but I wasn't stuffed, which was good as we were heading to the theatre. Service was professional but friendly. This is definitely on my list to revisit.

had the two course lunch,tasty, not exciting or innovative. Service reasonable, all in all nothing to complain about but nothing to rave about either, fair value for money.

Ate off the lunch menu, French Onion Soup was fantastic to start! Both mains were of very high quality (pork loin and lemon chicken) - couldn't fault any dish, and was very good value!

Absolutely first class. We took our son there (he is vegan, we are not!) and we all had a super meal. The waitress was extremely helpful and friendly, the atmosphere was perfect - busy but we still felt we had our own space. Nothing was too much bother and we will certainly go back next time we are in Glasgow.

Another great meal, value for money all day long we'll be back as should everyone. Great friendly staff, but not in your face but always on hand. A restaurant to be proud of.

Red Onion came as a complete surpise - a very pleasant one. I couldn't believe I hadn't known about it before. The food was great, the sauces delicious, the ambience comfortable and the service perfect. There is a varied choice and the menu changes each day. I will definitely be back now that I have found this treasure.

Food and service were both excellent. A minor issue with my friend's chicken dish was quickly sorted out by the friendly and helpful staff. The atmosphere was good and although it was a warm night the temperature inside the restaurant was pleasant. We were not rushed in any way and they were happy to give us a good break between our main course and our sweets. It was nice to meet John Quigley himself when he came round the tables later in the evening.

Good food as always and excellent service. Air conditioning might have improved the experience as it was very hot in the restaurant due to the good weather, however both doors were open to try and help.

Excellent restaurant and very good service. The chef creates beautiful dishes, based on classics but with a fresh take on them. And the prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend

Our first time at the Red Onion, but it won't be our last. Excellent food, really good friendly service and a delightful atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the duck, and I loved the frozen raspberries with hot chocolate sauce.

Food was fairly average for me, but my 14 yr old son thought it was fantastic rating the bang bang chicken salad as a starter. The service was a little rushed to begin with.....that feeling that they want you in and out as quickly as possible which I found a little irritating - there are smart ways of achieving turnaround, leaving the customer feeling more appreciated. We were also shown to a table right next to the window which had a terrible draft - I had to wear my scarf whilst having dinner! The chef comes out to speak to customers which is normally a great touch, but not when he interrupts a conversation with the American holiday-makers sat next to us without even an 'excuse-me'. It's unlikely I will return.

Tasty food, really enjoyed our meal but for the price we would have expected a little better. The staff were polite and friendly and attentive enough without being annoying. I asked for a rose wine but was served white. I never complained as the wine itself was lovely :-) There wasn't a good choice of beer. We expected them to have Innis & Gunn given there is a dish on the menu using this but they only had Heineken or St Mungo.

We visited the Red Onion last week and all enjoyed delicious freshly cooked meals. We had three courses from the pre- theatre menu which was amazing value for money. The staff were very efficient and friendly too. Five of us in our group and each one of of said that we will definitely return here and are recommending to friends already. A great find in Glasgow!

Food delicious as always. Pre-theatre but it was getting busy. Staff attentive. Only disappointment was we asked for 2 large glasses of wine when we sat down followed by another 2 during the meal and were charged for separate glasses. I would have expected them to suggest we just bought the bottle given there couldn't have been much, if anything, left in it rather than charging for individual glasses - will remember that if I go again.

Food was ok but not great. Rather expensive for what I thought was an average meal. Had heard great things but was quite disappointed. Dessert choice was minimal and so was the portion of vegan choc brownie which was quite dry. Sorry would not recommend.

A very relaxed atmosphere but with efficient service. A truly delicious meal although a glass of wine was pricey. Would have been better value to have had a bottle.
