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.

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

Walked in to a warm friendly atmosphere where the staff welcomed you with a smile before serving a delicious lunch. What more do you need?

Food delightful, service great. Only issue - as soon as we sat down we were told we needed to be out by 6pm. Surely tables could just be managed rather than telling people they are on a time limit?

It wasn't as good as expected, main courses were okay but nothing special, the gluten free crumble was a total joke, the "crumble" was smashed up ginger biscuits as found in supermarket. The results were therefore too pricey for what it was, which was a real shame. We wouldn't go back

First time we had been there.The decor,the staff and the food were all lovely. We were most impressed with the fact that our vegan son had a whole menu of vegan choices,not just the one veggie option that is normally on offer in restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Lovely main courses for lunch 2/3 of the starters were also very nice (Goats Cheese and Asparagus Soup), the only slight issue was that the Thai Fish Cake starter was had fish cakes which were really dense (more akin to chicken), not really the texture I would expect to a Thai Fish cake.

Friendly, very attentive staff and delicious food. As a sufferer of coeliac disease I have rather specific dietary needs. They provided a gluten free menu with an excellent choice on both pretreatre and a la carte for me. They took time and care which gave me confidence. I will be returning for another visit.

Great ambience, tasty food, service ok, prices reasonable. Recommend for a relaxed enjoyable meal. We were seated by an open door and were cold, but staff reseated us in a warmer area which was fine, but if it had been busier with no other available tables, we might have wished we had worn warmer clothes! Liked that it is very light and spacious.

We go here regularly and the food and service is consistently excellent. The vegan menu is fantastic, and I'm assured by the non vegans, that the regular menu is of a very high standard. Good range of wines by the glass and overall excellent value for money. Absolutely recommend - particularly to vegans.

Enjoyed everything. Only criticism was that the beef could have done with another half hour slow cook to make it slightly more tender. The fat / gristle should have melted and added to the overall flavour of the otherwise lovely dish.

Work Dinner. Really nice food as usual with a great priced pre theatre menu. Enjoyed by everyone. I did not order from the pre theatre as my favourite dish in Red Onion is the Lobster Spaghetti at £23 it is expensive, however worth every penny it is absolutely delicious. I have to give the chocolate brownie a mention too - delicious. Although this was not my first visit to Red Onion it was for my 3 co workers, all 3 had a lovely time and have said they would be back.

Lovely place . Been before. Seating arrangements meant I had to be given my plate over as I was sitting at a closed end. The plate was rather hot so I was handed it in two napkins. I don't know why restaurants have these seating arrangements . Risky when there's scalding liquids involved. But a lovely meal in lovely surroundings .pleasant staff.

Delicious food, great service and nice atmosphere. We booked the graduation set menu for each one of us, and it was easy to pick and mix between the vegan/gluten free/regular menus (as we had a number of dietary restrictions such as gluten free and lactose free requirements).
