    First time trying the Stravaig & it was amazing. The decor is outstanding. We had drinks in the bar before dinner & had an amazing selection. We then had a two course meal & absolutely loved every bit of it! The staff were incredibly friendly & couldn’t have done more to make it an amazing night! Great value for money & will definitely be back! Will be recommending family & friends to give it a try!

    What an absolutely delightful restaurant & bar! We have been several times now and no matter what type of customer frequents the place, or what time of day it is, we always have a fabulous time. On this occasion we booked for our Valentine’s dinner, and what a treat we had! On arrival we had THE BEST Pornstar Martini’s we’ve ever had, delivered by an extremely knowledgeable, attentive & outstanding barman. The surroundings are SO sophisticated in the bar, a perfect match for the inclusive & diverse international crowd that’s a pleasure to be amongst. On to our perfect, magical & romantic dinner in the beautiful restaurant complete with a full-size tree and views over Glasgow’s crown jewel town hall. I had the beetroot starter and my husband the salmon, followed by chateaubriand with sides and chocolate love mouse all washed down by champagne and red wine. All the food was of the HIGHEST QUALITY excellently presented. A special mention for our steward, Matthew. He was SO friendly and perfectly attentive. He went out of his way to make ours, and all the other lucky couples, evenings’ a perfect experience. Thanks so much to Hazel for a magical experience we’ll remember. We can’t wait to come back very soon.

    Good food, piping hot and served quickly. Reasonable prices. Also, the toilets (gents) were clean and tidy—always a sign of a well-managed restaurant. I am sure the ladies toilet was the same, but I didn't see them.

    Service was excellent as was the food. The restaurant was quiet when we were in as it was early on a Wednesday evening, but we had a lovely experience as we had such nice people at the next table.
