Had a lovely meal, food was delicious. Lots of choices for gluten free diners. Cosy, relaxed atmosphere and front out of house were attentive and friendly. Would definitely return.
Very nice restaurant, always very good for and service. Very much a favourite in Glasgow! They even have a couple of vegetarian options on the 2-3 course set meals. Very good indeed!
Reasonable price for a pre theatre meal,we opted for steak at a two pound supplement, it was small but delicious This was our third visit and we would return again.
Very good food and attentive service. Excellent value for money for Sunday lunch or pre theatre. Would definitely go back again although this wasn't my first visit as it's always excellent.
Fresh tasty delicious scottish food. Very reasonably priced with lots of choice. First class service and great atmosphere. I love it here and will return.
Speedy and very friendly service. Food delicious as always. Great wee lunch menu. Perfect choice for lunch in Glasgow. Will be back again very soon.
Lovely meal served by friendly efficient staff. I had the pre-theatre and my husband went a la carte. Not cheap but good value for money and just a really good atmosphere in the place. We've been before and will certainly go back.
Lovely food and good service. Pre theatre menu is excellent value for money. Would highly recommend as we've never been disappointed with our meal here.
The service was good, and the food was excellent. Good prices, especially for the pre-theatre menu, with a good variety of dishes. It also offers vegetarian options for some meat dishes, apart from standard vegetarian dishes.
My husband, mum and I had a very enjoyable experience at the Red Onion. Great atmosphere and the food was superb. I will definitely be visiting again in the year future.
A frequent visitor to the Red Onion we were a bit disappointed on this occasion. It may have been that in choosing the pre theatre deal we did not allow ourselves the choices provided on the la carte. As we have always had lovely food there I would go back and try again. The food generally is great, staff attentive and friendly and there is a nice ambience. Better luck next time I say!
Staff were very helpful the meal was absolutely delicious were' looking forward to going back really enjoyed my evening and would recommend it to our friends
Friendly staff, great food, super value for money and they didn't bat an eye when friends brought in a huge balloon unicorn as a wind up for the person who's birthday we were celebrating!
Great food well presented at Red Onion and good service. Only a few diners so bit of a lack of atmosphere. Slight confusion over lunch price as menu we were given said £11.50 for two courses but blackboard outside said £10.50 for two courses! After pointing this out the server agreed that it was indeed only £10.50 and menu had printing error!
Great food,great service even on a busy Friday night. Pre theatre menu well priced with excellent choices. Will definitely be returning to this great restaurant soon.
We thought the Red onion had great food an interesting choice of menu.It offered good portion sizes and fantastic service.We would definately go back soon.
Lovely meal, food cooked to perfection. For 3 courses of food that is as good as we had you will have to go a long way. Also a nice relaxed atmosphere.
Lovely meal in a lovely setting. Great gluten free options.
Attentive staff and delish food! Excellent choice. The staff were very busy with a big crowd bit happy to assist when required. I would recommend.
Took a friend today for lunch was a bit disappointed as it was not as good as last week, but did not put me off.
Food was lovely, staff were friendly, atmosphere was really nice. Great vegetarian and vegan menus. My only criticism is that you are given the main menu and aren't offered the veggie/vegan menu; you have to ask for it. So if I didn't already know about it from the website I would have missed out. Personally I think everyone should be given all the options. Had a lovely night here, we will be back soon :-D
Excellent service and the food was delicious, I will definitely recommend Red Onion and I will be a return customer. Keep up the great work and standards.
Restaurant could do with updating, the food was nice enough. I had the steak frites (nice) + garlic butter (more an oil - not nice).
Good food, varied menu and good service. There could have been a better choice of ciders and lagers however, but on the whole a great venue for a pre theatre dinner
Had a lovely experience, food great, atmosphere lovely. I've got coeliacs disease so being able to order a full gluten free meal from your own menu is such a treat, takes the stress out of dining. Would definately recommend a visit.
Great good, separate vegan menu which is great for me. They also let me hand in a cake beforehand as a surprise for my friend after dinner. Friendly staff. I'll be going back.
This was our first visit and we found that the food we had was very good. However, it was a little off putting to see dishes from the two adjacent tables being taken back as they complained that their meals were cold. This would not put us off returning.
Lovely restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff. Food was good, not spectacular but well cooked and tasty. Overall a great place to have an afternoon celebration.
We had the lunch menu and it was good value for money . Drinks were reasonably priced and the waiting staff were superb - will be back very again.
A lovely meal last night at The Red Onion. Lovely friendly staff and superb food especially the cheesecake with the caramelised banana. I would have given this restaurant a 6 however they were unable to make a mini beef burger for my two year old grandson. Come on John Quigley I'm sure you could have risen to this request! Overall a lovely meal enjoyed by all.
We went at lunchtime and loved it. Food is fantastic, great value for money and portions big. Staff are very professional and attentive but not in the hovering way or asking if you are enjoying the food when you have just stuck a forkful in your mouth :). Highly recommend. Will definitely go back.
Food was very good. We were sitting upstairs and as the restaurant got busy when the staff were coming upstairs with orders they were not looking around to see if any other tables needed attention. Perhaps a little more attention required. A very little niggle. Have been to this restaurant before and enjoyed hence our return visit.
Staff nice but very disappointed with food. Had Steak frite. The steak was the worst I have ever eaten, very poor quality meat with freezer chips. Dessert was equally poor. Too many tables crammed into the mezzanine level. I won't be back!
Excellent food, staff were very attentive and friendly. Lovely decor and great ambiance. Could not fault this restaurant in the slightest. Would definitely visit again and would definitely recommend to friends. Overall an amazing dining experience
Great food and wine at reasonable prices...always something different and unique. Portions really well sized. Service also good and the chef comes to check you liked the food :-)
Extensive vegan menu on offer (separate menu - just ask for it). Attentive and friendly service, delicious food. Nice ambience. Would recommend it readily, including for special occasions.
My first time at red onion One of the tastiest sirloin steaks i have had. Nice venue with friendly attentative staff Will return in the future
Excellent pre-theatre, well worth a visit, good varied choice, great service and well balanced flavours and freshness, could not fault any of the courses, superb!!
Brilliant food in a lovely restaurant. The menu was varied with our main problem being choosing between so many things we'd like. We'll be back very soon
I come here regularly for the Vegan Menu which is always a treat, lovely food. Nice atmosphere and very good service too! I like the set price for two or three course dinners too, well worth it!
The duck was perfectly cooked, reasonable price, great atmosphere and great choice. Friendly welcome, the food was incredible, the flavours of the duck and steak were well balanced, the cheesecake dessert also a real highlight. I started with the Crab and Prawns and again these were cooked to perfection.
Delicious food! Well presented. Beautiful restaurant. Great atmosphere. Service was also excellent and food was served quickly. We were allowed to sit and chat away after our meal and didn't feel rushed off our table at any point. Will definetly dine here again xxx
Food and service was great, Afternoon service, but could have been more ambiance. Lost a mark for being sat next to an untidy service station.
Food and service both excellent. Good choice on pre-theatre menu, and house wine reasonably priced. Restaurant busy on a Tues night, which is a re commendation in itself!
Great food, attentive staff, good ambience. It's the number one choice for our ladies' lunches, and the set-lunch menu is changed regularly. Brilliant value too!
We booked online. The restaurant was almost fully booked and we couldn't get our first choice of time. A good sign I suppose although irritating. One must be aware that nowadays Glasgow is blessed with a huge variety and number of excellent restaurants. We were greeted almost immediately when we entered and taken to our table and offered drinks. The place was packed and buzzing with seemingly happy dinners. This was at 5.30pm. The decor is practical, you can chat to neighbouring dinners if you are in the mood. All diners were nicely dressed but certainly not formally. No tattoos were visible (I'm slightly offended by this practice) The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu wide ranging. The food was tasty and the portions generous. We were told that the chef was the owner/proprietor, John Quigley. We would certainly return but would ensure to book early in order to obtain a table at a time we desired. All-in-all a pleasant experience.
From the moment we walk through the door we were greeted with a very friendly staff Drinks were order straight away and our food was order and taken by a chatty staff member during the main course we were asked by various staff members if we were enjoying our meal between courses staff came and talked to us and on leaving all said good bye
superb food reasonably priced,all my guests enjoyed their meal and the surroundings. Excellent service and interesting menu. Staff very efficient and unphased by the restaurant being busy. Would thoroughly recommend.
One of the most important parts of eating out for me is to firstly feel comfortable in my surroundings and in Red Onion this was true. The service and the food were outstanding, very friendly staff who gave our party plenty of time to deliberate the menu. The icing on the cake was to meet John Quigley - its good to know that it matters to him that his customers are well catered for. Will definitely visit again, perhaps for an evening meal next time.
Very relaxing friendly atmosphere with service to match. A great menu with plenty of variety. Enjoyed that there were at least 2 vegetarian options for main.
