The pre-theatre menu is very good and provided the food we were looking for at a reasonable price. The ambience is excellent for couples and discerning diners. The staff were particularly pleasant and efficient. The music should be turned off when it is busy as it just is a blue-bottle trapped in a jar but I guess is nice when you can hear it. My male partner could have eaten a little more veg or sauteed potatoes with the fishcake main.

Very good service, excellent food and nice ambience. Very much appreciated the vegan set menu. Only criticism is of the original table we were offered. This has a pillar right behind the seat which would have been incredibly uncomfortable to sit at, but there was no problem with us moving to another table.

The food was excellent, the restaurant was very busy and extremely loud, with a large bus party which had arrived just before us. Disappointed with the first table offered as there was a pillar directly behind the seat.

Great to see a full Vegan menu. I've forgotten what it's like to have 'choice'. I would definitely recommend to others as a great restaurant for good quality Vegan food.

Food was excellent once again. Pre-Theatre menu gives a good range of choices and reasonable prices for 1, 2 or 3 courses. Main Menu looks good as well, will save that for a special occassion.

Lovely food - very draughty though! Staff kept opening side door causing a howling gale!! We had to ask them twice to close please! They didn't apologise or ask if any warmer! Other diners also agreed! I had to wear my friend's coat throughout meal! Shame - as apart from that good!!

pleasant venue with good food in sizeable portions. Staff attentive and polite. Spoilt only by the very loud tour guide who burst into the restaurant followed by thirty or more foreign holiday makers. She then took to the floor ( either assuming the restaurant was hers or she was on the stage) barking instructions at them for all to hear, including the amount they should tip. Perhaps this should have been done on the tour bus! It was certainly grabbing the attention of the couple beside us, who were also raising eyebrows. It is obviously a regular haunt for this particular company so perhaps the management could have a quiet word with her for future visits. although quiet is obviously not part of her vocabulary. Don't be put off though, great place, We will be back, but hopefully not on a tour guide night.

Red Onion is my favourite restaurant in Glasgow. I eat there almost every time I am visiting the city. The early evening menu is just great, and this time I invited two friends along, and both give it full marks for selection, quality and service. Thanks, everyone, for a lovely evening.

Yet another fantastic meal at Red Onion. The food is always excellent and the lunch menu- which is incredibly good value- varies regularly so that there's always something new to try. And the staff are super too - professional and welcoming. Already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Red Onion!

This was my second visit to Red Onion and it didn't disappoint. Nice ambience and excellent food. We booked Red Onion as we were taking another couple out to dinner and my husband and myself had both been to Red Onion before on separate occassions and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food so we thought this wood be a good choice, and we were right. Our friends really liked the venue and enjoyed the food, will definitely be back.

Food was delicious and staff were lovely and attentive. Atmosphere was lacking slightly, though could've just been the night we picked. Would probably have sat longer after dinner if there had been a cocktail menu. Overall, a nice evening.

Food was superb and service was excellent. Would have been full marks if it wasn't for a very wobbly table and being sat right at the door, meaning every time someone came in we got a cold blast of air! If we were sat at another table it would have perfect. Will definitely go back

I have lunch regularly at Red Onion and the varied menu always has something tasty and is excellent value for money. The American waiter is a fantastic asset to the restaurant, he provides one of the best waiter services in the city.
