Again and again the Red Onion surpasses expectations and keeps getting better. The food, the service and the prices are superb and I will be coming back many more times
A lovely Pre-theatre and the location was really good for the Kings Theatre The Fishcake was really nice and tasty. The Staff were attentive and friendly
A great lunchtime venue, tables not too crowded together, music background rather than in your face/ears, attentive staff, tasty food and a reasonable price, ideal for lunchtime meetings
Very good food and lovely ambiance where we were seated. Only downside we felt was that, for us, the main course choices were slightly limited. Otherwise, a great evening.
Always very friendly staff and the food always comes up to high expectations. I have brought along many friends to the restaurant and they agree.
Staff were very helpful and attentive. I had the Bang Bang chicken and burger and both were fresh and delicious will definitely recommend to family and friends
Lovely atmosphere in this restaurant. The food was great and beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Great night out with some friends.
For health reasons I have to follow a gluten and dairy free diet - this is by far the best restaurant I have been too that caters for my needs. So many options! Staff were also very attentive and place has a lovely atmosphere
First visit for lunch. Very quiet walk up to restaurant. Opened door and the place was buzzing. Great setting, food and service. 2 course £14.95. 3 for £16.95.
Excellent restaurant, great choice of food, staff attentive, restaurant including rest rooms very clean and very nicely decorated, early evening offers looked value for money we ate of main menu but very reasonable
The Staff were excellent, polite and willing to listen. Food delicious Extremely good value for money Would def recommend to anyone looking for quality food and service
My party had a diverse range of dietary requirements, but we were all able to get food to suit us. The service was pleasant and food and wine excellent.
We've been many times before and were not disappointed today. Great food, great atmosphere and helpful staff. Really accommodating with the children too, so we'll definitely be back!
Great meal and wonderful service. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Would recommend the pork dish with chorizo. Delicious. Others diners would also Dec the steak.
Rather nervously, I booked this place for dinner with a visiting friend; I had no personal recommendation and was just going off web reviews. But it was pretty good and worked out well. We had the "pre-theatre menu", despite arriving at 7.45 pm on a Wednesday. We both had a very (!) simple starter of pâté and oat cakes before I had steak and chips and my friend the pork loin. These mains were good and filling. We then both had a very (!) simple dessert. To accompany the food we had some Glasgow tap water and a bottle of Chilean Merlot. The food came to about £35 and the wine £30! The wine list is not cheap at this restaurant. Overall, however, I was pleased with my choice of eatery and would go there again. It was busy, indicating that I am not alone in this judgement. The staff were very friendly and chatty.
Finally a restaurant that has taken the time to understand dietary requirements. A lovely a la carte and pre theatre menu for gluten free. Dinner was beautiful, second visit and certainly won't be the last. Also got to speak to John quiggly who is the owner. Well done John thank you for another lovely meal.
Red Onion was recommended to me. I am so pleased I went with my husband and 2 friends everything about it was great - ambience, decor, service and of course the food was excellent. It was our first visit to Glasgow we wilol return and certainly go back to Red Onion
Second visit to this wonderful eatery. This is casual fine dining if there is such a thing. Every morsel is worthy of a mention and the atmosphere is comparable to having friends over for dinner - just much more than normal!! On our latest visit "Chef" made an appearance at our table to apologise for a noisy hen party - no apology required - we were loving the fun. He also added he had 62 people in from a choir over from USA again no apology required especially when we got a rendition of Going to the Chapel to accompany the hen party. Great night. Food amazing. Will we visit again - try and stop us. Only one complaint from hubby - no draught beer!!! We will just leave him at home next time !!! Sorted.
Lovely meal and great choice on menu. Fresh, great portions and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Booking essential. Certainly will be visiting again in the future.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good food and very little difference in the content of the various menus on offer. We will be back soon.
Good food. Friendly service. There were 4 in our party and we were given a booth upstairs. It felt rather cramped and we were all of slim (ish!) build. It was the first time I had been upstairs and I was slightly disappointed by that. However the food was good and they offer a good menu for vegans which was useful on this occasion.
The fact that the Red Onion actually has a separate vegan menu with choice is amazing. A chef that can take the time to make good vegan food in a nice environment in Glasgow is a novelty. We are older Vegans and like to eat out in a nice places, the combination is often hard to find in Glasgow. You can get good vegan food but its usually pub grub and this is okay but sometimes you just want an up market feel to your night out. I am a Chef and Nutritional therapist and very picky about what I eat, so enjoying a meal out can be a challenge. So well done Red Onion on offering a better service.
Very disappointed in overall experience,staff and service was slow,despite the restuarant being empty. Food was medioca. Toilets were not very clean and three cubicles did not flush. Was very excited about dining here will not recommend to anyone or return personally.
Service was slow and unattentive. Forgot items & at times felt we were forgotten! Food on GF menu was not all GF. Won't be back!
The food was delicious and the service good and attentive. Saturday was very busy but the ambience was warm and lively. The staff were very friendly.
Great location fantastic food and wonderful service, red onion is highly recommended by both myself and my husband and we will definitely be back. The gluten free menu is one of the best I have found.
Reliably great food & friendly staff. Wide range of delicious options to choose from with healthy & restricted dietary needs catered for. Convenient central location.
Lovely restaurant. It has a very relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious. The owner took time out from the kitchen to introduce himself and ask how the goid was which was nice.
The food and service were generally ok for the price we paid. The table we were sat at still had crumbs on it. Was reasonably busy for a Sunday afternoon.
Excellent pre theatre menu, good food, great to see John Quigley in the restaurant speaking to guests. Relaxed service and style. Booked another visit later in the year.
Superb meal , super attentive staff, I had been on a couple of occasions but this was first time for my girlfriend Jo, who loved it all. thank you,
We had an absolutely beautiful lunch for my group of 8. There was not a single disappointing dish. We will definitely be returning sometime soon.
The food was fantastic, full of flavours and presented beautifully. The service was excellent, quick, let's us alone to decide what we wanted. The place was busy with 2 big parties arriving in staff handled it superbly whilst dealing with the smaller parties dotted through the restaurant. Just a few wee pointers that could have made it prefect the table was full of salt (as if it hadn't been cleaned properly I blew it off) and the hand dryer in the ladies toilets didn't work. Food and service was delightful
Lovely lunch beautifully cooked and superb valueGood choice on menu for lunch 3 starters and 3 mains. Goats cheese starter and fresh fish goujons lovely
John Quigley gets it right every time. Unbelievable value for money also. Always a pleasure to visit. I don't get there enough! I must make more of an effort.
A nice ambience, overall. The friendly chef took the time to speak to us, the staff were engaging and appeared genuinely interested in delivering a great experience. The food ... wow ... absolutely delicious!! We were previously regular guests at a restaurant around the corner, yet thought to try Red Onion for a bit of variety, and we are absolutely thrilled that we did so. Looks like we're changing our regular lunch location!!
Really fabulous meal and nice staff. Love a restauraunt thats nice n bright shows they have nothing to hide then. Haddock fishcake was immense really tasty. Partner she had for dessert Raspberry and hot white chocolate sauce 12 out of 10 for that one.
Food excellent and service superb. This is the second time I have been and it won't be my last. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone,you are in for a treat.
Staff were friendly, service was good, atmosphere was good. We ate from the pre theatre menu which was good value and the food was nice.
My party and I had a lovely evening. The food was great particularly the fact that there was a good vegetarian menu. The wine prices were a bit expensive, however.
Been a while since our last visit, but the staff, food and ambience were wonderful as before No standards have slipped since last year, will be back a lot sooner this time
The Red Onion is a lovely place to eat. The atmosphere is calming and the food and service are excellent. My score is slightly downgraded as the steak frites we all had were quite tough and we did report this to the server who offered to bring us something else but we had no time to wait for another dish to be prepared. The other courses were delicious so I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
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.
Very good pre-theatre meal, great value and friendly efficient service. Only slightly sour note was that one of our company wanted the steak, which was extra - fair enough in principle, but the scrawny shilpit piece of meat that actually came was very disappointing. Anyway it would be wrong to emphasise that (even though that's what I've just done) as the rest was really good. Maybe a one off: we all have off moments, and Mr Quigley will be no exception. Try it, it's good: but ca' canny about the steak!
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.
Easily booked online with no fuss. The service staff were attentive and friendly. Food was absolutely lovely and had space for a pudding. Will definately be back soon.
Lovely place. I ate in Red Onion several times now and not once was disappointed. Food is just delicious. Cooked nicely and very tasty. Lovely staff. And price! What a great value for your money! Definitely place to eat if you don't want to be disappointed. They have separate menu for every allergy - not many places offers that. 5*
I visited the red onion on a recent trip to glasgow. Being celicac i am always on the search for gluten-free restaurants. This place will not disappoint. The food is excellent and well presented.
The food was great and served quickly for lunchtime. Good service as well although the bill was initially incorrect but resolved quickly without any fuss.
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.
