Grahamston Kitchen in Glasgow City

We had a fantastic earlier dinner and it was made extra special with the attentive and professionalism by our waitress, Dawn. The food was excellent and Dawn provided the icing on the cake.

Extremely disappointed in The Grahamston. Firstly, totally taken aback to discover it's inside a Radisson (our general rule of thumb is to avoid hotel restaurants unless it's a dining emergency, as in nothing else is available, or a part of small, boutique hotel with a unique pub). We had to wander the hotel lobby for the entrance as there was no marking for the restaurant and no hostess station to say "Hello, welcome to The Grahamston." We had to stand by the bar, hope we were in the right place, and wait for acknowledgement. The atmosphere was far from what you see online. They present themselves as a swank joint in their imagery, and we dressed accordingly, but as a hotel restaurant, their diners were about as formal as folks in a backwoods sports bar. There was even some random dude slumped over a table either talking on his phone or watching YouTube videos (with the volume annoyingly loud), who was not eating or drinking - just hanging around. Secondly, the food left a lot to be desired. I mean a whole lot. They're trying way too hard to impress with the visuals and not concentrating on making tasty food. They have a "sourdough" bread app option that in no way, shape, or form could be considered a sourdough. It was a big roll of plain flour and water baked bread. My bone-in pork chop was a half-inch (if even) slice of pork that by weight was more gristle and fat than edible meat. Being thin, meant overcooked too. Had to ask for a steak knife just to saw through it. Lacked any kind of seasoning at all. I ordered a side of fries that was not delivered until after I asked about it and after I was almost finished with my meal. My wife ordered the sea bass which consisted of two tiny pieces of fish flesh that maybe if put together was the size of an iPhone 3 and less thick. She said the flavor was okay, but dry, and not nearly enough protein to make it worth the effort. She's a small portion eater to begin with and I usually finish off her plate, but this time the portions were so minimal that she pretty much ate all my fries and polished off the bread just to satisfy her hunger. Finally, The Grahamston's only redeeming quality was our server, Dawn. This Hungarian immigrant was one of the sweetest, nicest people we have dined with on our recent travels. None of the negatives of this restaurant were on her and she went above and beyond in every way. From her sweet smile to her genuine appreciation for us, she was wonderful and a pure joy. I truly wish I had done my due diligence on looking deeper at The Grahamston's online reviews. Perhaps we could have avoided having our last night in Scotland end on such a disappointing sour note.

Lovely staff. Great food and ambience

Amazing food in a lovely bar setting. Staff are friendly. Discount in the restaurant if you book when staying at the Radisson Blu.

Nice hotel bar / restaurant despite being extremely over priced especially the wine 🍷

I'd never eaten here before. We were seated in a delightful, enclosed area at the back away from the bar. Its a fairly limited menu, but the slow cooked beef was simply the best plate of food I've had in a restaurant in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Wonderful service, too.

Nice ambience in the restaurant. Starters and desserts where nice. Can't say the same for the mains as the vegetables were rock hard. Only other thing is the waiting staff interrupt every 5 minutes to make sure everything is OK, and when you tell them it isn't they don't do anything. Would I go back, yes but just for drinks.

"The dining experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. The ambiance was inviting, the service was impeccable, and the food exceeded all expectations. Each dish was a delightful blend of flavors, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking a memorable and delicious culinary experience."

Me and my friend booked the festive meal for two for our annual Christmas meal and were blown away by our experience. Our waitress Dawnski was so accommodating and gave us amazing service. The food was sooo delicious, can’t fault anything. We really enjoyed our time at the Grahamston and will 100% be back (thanks to Dawnski) Thank you so much x

Lovely surroundings, lovely coffee, staff were attentive and helpful

Came with a huge number of people and they offered 3 courses fixed menu of your selection. I tried 2 courses (fish and chips 10/10 and sticky toffee pudding 10/10). The portions were so generous and the food was super delicious

Lovely place, so we stopped in for a quiet cuppa, excellent service.

Lovely Afternoon Tea.Staff were amazing

Loved the afternoon tea here, the buffet format screams out! Would come back again.

I use a lot for work and Martin behind the bar very pleasant and helpful as well as the rest of the team

It was a really nice experience. A very attractive service and great food.

First time I've ever done an unlimited afternoon tea, so not used to this idea It's a lovely location, good atmosphere, quite hectic and that leads so some staff mix ups, had to pester for tea, then for milk, but on the whole it was nice Two main comments: - Not enough veggie choices on the savoury side, could do with more options - Absolutely NOTHING was marked despite the server telling me it was, and labels were often mixed up. Sorry guys, but it's 2023 .... If you can't mark with a simple (v) then this alone would probably stop me returning ... its really not that difficult 😒

Great night in the Radisson bar - Dawn was especially kind and helpful!

Afternoon Tea at Grahamston Kitchen, Radisson Blu. Excellent food, the sausage roll is superb! Because I'm allergic to almonds the chef made us Lemon Tart, really nice touch. Prosecco was nice too and excellent service. We'll be back.

Brilliant afternoon tea, nice staff, the buffet style is a real winner because my wife and I are not big on sweet stuff so this was a really welcome change

Lovely setting for pre dinner drinks. A fresh raspberry in prosecco nice touch.

Good selection of food and drinks close to the centre of Glasgow

Good service and happy staff 😀 Inside the radisson and very spacious. Worth a visit.

Shit…….the reviews are true, sat for 10 mins with coworkers, no-one came to the table.

Beautiful stylish bar and part of an excellent Glasgow hotel but the service is slow and staff not very friendly. Also really poor selection of bottle beers.

Can’t stretch enough how spacious is the place and how comfy the seats are. Only came here for get some works done and the overall experience is great. Helpful staffs and a good range of drinks options. As a frequent visitors really enjoy the vibe and everything here. Never tried the food here thou not sure how good it is. Would give a five stars if the coffee is fresh made instead of a coffee machine. They thus couldn’t provide latte with non diary milks btw.

No alacarte menu, dining in a lounge, no t be back😞

Had a pre Christmas afternoon tea. Food was enjoyable but unlike previous visits the service was disappointing. Guy on the bar seemed to be on his own much of the time and was very attentive but he couldn't do everything. Pleasant surroundings with plenty of space between tables.

Great environment and atmosphere

Nice food. It is a restaurant in cooperation with the Radisson hotel.Not sure if it is open to the public. Delicious but not expensive. They also have seasonal menu.

Service was a little slow even though there were only a few patrons. Ordered a croque monsieur which was ok, if a little on the dry side, much like my wife's club sandwich. Staff pleasant.

Brilliant! Staff excellent! Ambience excellent! A must visit place!

Nice breakfast in the restaurant however drinks service in the bar area is painfully slow. We had to chase for a menu, to order and to pay and I received the incorrect drink but was still charged a whopping £6.75 for a pint!

Absolutely amazing food and amazing cocktails! The staff were great and definitely the best dining experience me and my girlfriend have had to date!!!

Great food, lovely atmosphere and excellent service .

A very relaxing, warm restaurant. The staff were all very lovely, friendly and professional. The service was fantastic, everything came exactly when you wanted it. The food was also served in good sized portions and was delicious! There is also a good bar with a wide selection of drinks. Didn't feel rushed at all and felt very welcomed.

Afternoon tea was excellent! Real cosy warm atmosphere, seated in the snug beside the fireplace stuffing your face with delicious snacks and cakes, wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else 😀. Danny our server was friendly and fun, if he’s an accurate example of your staff then they’re doing well. See you again Grahamston

The service was great and the food delicious. Plenty of space in a modern environment

Fantastic quality, fantastic value fantastic staff
