The Anchor Line in Glasgow City

Quick service, even on a Friday night. We only went in for one, but I will be back.

Great atmosphere however staff weren’t attentive. Sat at the bar for 15/20 minutes and didn’t get served so left without drinking. Saw another couple leave for the same reason.

Lovely food and very attentive service. One of the best meals I've had on a long time.

Great food in the centre of Glasgow and amazing cocktails.

Had a really lovely family Christmas meal at The Anchor Line. The Festive Menu was really nice and we all enjoyed each course we chose. Great festive decor and felt like a special Christmas lunch. The only thing that let it down was the volume of the live piano got a bit too loud later in the afternoon and it became difficult to hear each other at the table. It was my first visit and I’d definitely return as the quality of the food was excellent.

A great building with lots of history. When I asked about the building the manager informed me of its past and brought over a book detailing the history. A nice place to sit and priced reasonably.

Fantastic night out. Start to finish a great night. The food was fantastic as we're the staff. Couldn't have done more to make our night amazing.

Having travelled by Coach for 2hr 30mins, to meet lifelong friends I hadn’t seen since the last Funeral, I was more than disappointed with the Beef Stroganoff. There were 4 of us, 3 were having Stroganoff and I’d asked, ‘Could we have the Steak pink please?’ Imagine my surprise when She said, ‘We don’t cook to order, it’s all prepared together 😩!’ We still gave it a try, but it was a big mistake. Was absolutely incinerated! So much so it was dry and inedible and One couldn’t actually swallow it. Who would do that to FILET STEAK, it could have been any cut of Meat. Also the sauce was bland and didn’t resemble a Stroganoff Sauce at all. Ordinarily I would have said to the Waitress, but didn’t want to put a dampener on our re-union; the Waitress should have broached the subject, when She saw it wasn’t eaten 🤗! Would I go back, well I don’t like to be beaten and everything else went really well. The waiter was extremely amusing and very friendly. The Company was great. Of course, I was home 🤭! Nothing like the Glaswegians. I think I’d give it another go, but I would point out my previous disappointment.

Sad used to be great, now very average. Won't even call patrons a taxi....."not a service they provide" you and your kids can go stand in the rain.

Most excellent meal and the staff and manager were superb

Delicious food and great service

This is a restaurant in central Glasgow with a unique and beautiful interior. It's not often that you can have a meal and listen to a real pianist play. We found the prices very reasonable.

Had a fantastic experience with my 90 year old mum, 2 sisters and my brother in law. Thank you all for making this a special day. John Q

Even though this was a itison voucher meal, and good money spent on it, what a poor choice of menu items, where we were seated and lack of choice for cocktails. I'm sad I went, the food was just ok, wine glasses were not taken away for most of the meal when neither my partner and I were drinking and they wouldn't let me choose another cocktail when the one that was offered looked horrible. No vegetarian option in some courses too, where we were seated was out the way and you could feel an obvious draft. If you are looking for people to come to your restaurant through itison, this is not how you sell yourself! I'll never go near this place again. Such a disappointment... Happy a tip was not left.

Visited Glasgow to meet with friends at the Anchor Line for lunch. A greta venue, well located with excellent atmosphere, food, and customer service coordinated by the Maitre De.

The best restaurant I've experienced and I've eaten at mechelin stared eateries. The atmosphere is beautiful with a live pianist. The staff go above and beyond with personal touches like helping with bags and remembering our names. It's all of the small things that add up. The food was cooked to perfection and they even catered for my vegan mum. Ten out of ten. We will be returning.

Nice ambience relaxed but for price not the best Lobster bisque ok prawn cocktail ok but the lamb rack no very thin no taste yes you serve raw for best lol but it had no taste and too fatty maybe cheap lamb rack tasted better in Malaysia NZ lamb takes some Beating Welsh yes but this did not have the substance And not happy they put service charge on booking first Yes they ask when present bill and to shame you when with guest If was alone I would have told them to stuff it My god had better at the old berni inns

The Anchor Line: A Stylish City Centre Gem We recently dropped into The Anchor Line for a couple of cocktails and were pleasantly surprised. The relaxed atmosphere was perfect for a casual drink, and the stylish decor added a touch of sophistication. While we didn't indulge in the food, the menu looked enticing, offering a range of delicious-looking dishes. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. While the drinks were on the pricier side, the quality and ambiance made it a worthwhile treat.

Was at the bar for drinks only. Very good draught beer and in a great atmosphere too.

Overall a very nice experience, all courses from the menu were well presented and tasty, very generous portion sizes, cheese board plentiful. Staff were happy to help and friendly, and not overbearing. Will definitely be returning.

Heard great things about this place but could have cooked a nicer meal at home. Very disappointing.

Stunning venue, lovely staff and amazing food. Highly recommend a visit

Didn't get food ... just popped in for a wee vimto. Staff were excellent

We celebrated our friends 60th birthday. Every member of staff, especially Emily and Lucy made our day so special. The food was excellent, the service even better. Thanks so much to the wonderful staff.

Went to Anchorline for a date night and had a great time. I had the lobster bisque as a starter, which was sensational, and the chateaubriand to share. Our server Aparna was incredible and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend for a classy night 📸

Very good restaurant in Glasgow with shipping atmosphere, will certainly dine there again.

Great place, good service and fodd was ok no that bad, price is very expensive.

Fantastic Sunday afternoon itison voucher first time visit. Great food well presented, lovely elegant decor and relaxing ambience. Waiting staff were a delight, so welcoming, attentive and professional. Piano man playing provided just the right level of background music that still allows for comfortable table conversation. A delightful dining experience all round.

Some people give mixed reviews, but we have been going to Anchor line for years and it just a lovely experience all round. The staff always welcome us back, our favourite cocktails though no longer on the menu are made for us and never have we had to complain about the food menu

Beautiful classy interior, delicious food, excellent portions and lovely staff. No more to say except we will return.

Popped in to Anchor Line without a reservation for after work drinks and the lovely Thanish Kumar Venu was so attentive through out our visit. What an absolute asset to Anchor Line, so kind and friendly but still professional.

Stopped in for lunchtime cocktails. Both the cocktails and service were excellent. Would definitely recommend the Anchor Line.

Fantastic place. Food ,staff, ambiance all excellent. We visit as often as we can from fife. Listening to live jazz in the background an extra pleasure

What a lovely place, great decor and ambiance, the waiting staff were amazing, couldn't do enough for us Food and wine was delicious. Can't recommend enough, really good!

We had booked this restaurant later on for a meal due to the weather conditions we arrived early. On entering spoke to the manager Marco quite happy to sit in one of the booths for meal no problem.Also while sitting their were were warmly welcomed in by the Area Manager Pippa. We decided on trying a different starter my wife had the Haggis Bon Bons which she said were terrific especially the sauce. Myself the King Prawn Cocktail again brilliant which had a nice bite to the dish. While we were relaxing we realised on our first venture into thus establishment will have been 10 years come next Month. On that point we would like to congratulate the Owners,Management and staff for the high standard this restaurant and bar have maintained.

Fabulous!! Love the place, food superb! Staff nice and attentive. Atmosphere busy and pleasant. Table we had was private and really nicely decorated. Centre of town , excellent location.

Very nice place in heart of Glasgow City center. We were a big group (7) and happy they were able to assign a table to us as it was a busy Saturday evening. The service here is excellent and food is nice with a good menu spread. We tried the Scottish dishes and the Mallapally curry and they were nice. The atmosphere is vibrant and has a very nice vibe.

Excellent restaurant. Had the VIP menu which was excellent value for money. Served by very courteous and attentive staff. Beautifully appointed bar and restaurant. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Staff was very friendly and food was great.

We had a wonderful lunch, the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Thankyou!

Surrounding and food were fabulous but this restaurant is letting itself down on the new Post Covid policy of 2 hours . Service was a little too sharp … Attempting to remove glasses before last drop drunk. Table cleared as cutlery was put down. A gentle reminder that we still have 30 mins till the table is requisitioned The bill placed on the table without us asking for it . We really MUST stop this CORPORATE GREED. #NameShame&Complain folks!

Very nice restaurant Is really recommended, from the ambience to the food.

Do not be deceived by the gilded interior and smartly dressed staff. We ordered two chicken dishes, the smoked chicken and the summer chicken salad. Both were frankly inedible. Shards of chicken bone peppered both dishes and the sauces for both were truly disgusting. We were unable to eat them and left to find dinner elsewhere, would not recommend.

I didn’t come here but google insisted I leave a review.

Great place, food brilliant staff friendly

If I would give this establishment -5 stars I would. They resort to racism, citing “the law”. If you are a person of color.. avoid at all costs or you are likely to be kicked out of this place. And to think, this was AFTER tipping our server, Louis, 50% of our tab. Needless to say, we asked for it back.

Could lower the cost of their drinks £28 for a bottle of wine is a bit steep.

Delicious cocktails...we will be back

Lovely meal here, enjoyed the scallops followed by the red Thai mussels and frites. Good selection on the meal and staff helpful and friendly. Would return again. We were a party of 10 and everyone really enjoyed their meals.

Food was great but low scoring for cross contamination of gluten free meal . My wife is celiac and something in her meal contained gluten. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was impeccable. I was very disappointed that the company did not respond to my review,

Very friendly staff plus good quality food in a reasonable price! Worth to come for both lunch or dinner.

A fantastic looking bar and restaurant, truly lovely venue. Nice atmosphere with the piano player. The service was first class. Nice friendly welcome & very attentive and helpful staff who came across knowledgeable. Drinks were fab also, a great list of wines and cocktails. Food was underwhelming. All a bit bland and average to he honest. I would return however maybe switch up what I get next time.

First visit in years and still as great! Service was on point too!

Classy place. Great vibes. Professional service. Nice food presentation. Yet below-expectations food taste 🤷🏻‍♂️

The dishes are delicious. Impeccable service. An excellent address!

A fantastic eating experience. Food superb and Service first class.

Stunning place, amazing service and great drinks

Another visit. another great experience. Excellent service and food.

Amazing place, food and service. Loved everything about it - attentive, friendly staff but not overly so, the food tasted delicious and was presented beautifully we both had mussels then I had beef stroganoff & my friend the sea bass - amazing. Just don't have a bad word to say. Lovely experience

I came in here with my grandparents on graduation day, we booked very last minute but were accommodated with no issues. The food and service were top class. I opted for the Chicken Breast for my main and mussels to start. Both were incredible! The drinks were also fantastically presented and very nice! We’ll definitely be back in the future.

Mediocre menu and food. Don't expect fine dining. Worthwhile going for drinks as building is amazing.

Beautiful way to spend Sunday lunchtime. Piano in background was lovely. Service was fabulous, very attentive and nice to feel looked after. Food great. However roast potatoes need to be crisper and gravy a bit more depth. Desserts whilst pricy are beautifully served. Coffee and tablet - such a nice touch. We will visit more frequently.

Great atmosphere with a live pianist. There was no seats available, to be expected mid afternoon on a Saturday.. we took a standing spot at the bar and enjoyed a couple of drinks. Mojito was great!

A very good restaurant with an excellent selection of food and drinks! The service is perfect and the ambience is very stylish. Next time we're in Glasgow we'll eat there again!

Excellent meal with great service thanks

Must have a Strawberry Daiquiri - lovely. Great service, great staff.

First visit, birthday gift, food service and atmosphere were really enjoyable. Not too busy.

Furst visit. Great food, great service. Will be back.

historic setting, delicious food, good service. great experience

Probably the worst meal I’ve had in a long time. Definitely style over substance. We received a meal here as a gift and were expecting good food. Unfortunately it wasn’t good at all. Four course VIP menu (laughs out loud) prawn cocktail to start - no issues, main fish and chips, the batter was dripping in grease so much so that I stripped out the haddock and ate that part, which was nice and tasted fresh. The dessert (see picture) was supposed to be a miso and chocolate crème brûlée. It was like raw cookie dough. You couldn’t eat it. I’m embarrassed to tell the in-laws how bad it as. Not recommended if you like good food.

Came here for our anniversary and the food was absolutely delicious. Staff were so polite and helpful. Would highly recommend this place!

Highly recommend the Anchor Line Resturant. Ticks all the boxes, food was splendid, staff were amazing, location is perfect and the detour is lovely. I would certainly come back here in the future, I took a few colleagues out and they all loved it.

Good food and drinks with friends

Went for drinks only. First rate service from polite and attentive staff! Drinks were great, cocktails and champagne - special Spring offer - couldn't say no to that 🥂

Large fine dining restaurant in the Centre of Glasgow. Decor is in style of early 1900’s transatlantic cruise ship. Good variety of quality dishes available. Service was very attentive. Booking online requires a £10 per head deposit to be paid which is deducted from your bill. Recommended!

Gorgeous off-menu cocktails with relaxing atmosphere and fab service. Always love it here.

Gorgeous place, excellent food and lots of choices. Staff were lovely.

Food was excellent,hidden gem of a place ,will definitely be returning

Had a celebratory family meal the evening before my nephew's wedding. Could not fault the food (especially scallops, halibut and lobster) and the service was excellent for our big table on a busy Saturday night. The atmosphere inside the beautifully decorative Anchor Line building was superb. Would definitely recommend.

Had a quick pint here between train connections. Very nice vibe, good pint of IPA and friendly staff.

Mixed review tbh, some of the food was nice and some i could have made better at home. The mash was grainy as well as the prawn macaroni sauce. My biggest jibe tho was the green veg i had with my scallops had which felt like had grains of sand in them. The steak its self was very tasty however the crust was way too salty.

Always looked after staff lovely

Lovely good. Good alcohol free selection and brilliant staff

Great night as usual, continued to deliver to a high standard.

A lovely fine dining restaurant in what looks like an old shipping office. The Lobster and King Prawn Bisque was sensational, one of the best I've ever had. The 1/2 Lobster and fillet steak was over the top but absolutely delicious. A good sized Lobster and a beautifully cooked piece of steak. My wife had Mussels starter and Salmon main course and loved it. Wines were excellent. Our only comment was we weren't given enough time between courses and would have probably had a dessert if we'd been given more time.

The best restaurant and cocktails in Glasgow in my opinion. The 1920s / 30s setting feels like you’re dining somewhere special. The food is always great and has a menu to suit any taste. We always go for the scallops and then the steak which doesn’t disappoint. Be sure to try the prawn mac and cheese as a side! It also has a separate bar which in my opinion does the best cocktails in Glasgow so it’s a perfect setting for a weekend dinner and drinks.

Food was at best average but the service was great, and was a lovely place to be in just food was just not worth the money

Just been for lunch disappointed Scallops lovely and cooked just right Mussels overcooked tasteless

Very well-kept restaurant that makes you feel good. It has that 1930s feel. Everything is high quality, but the prices remain reasonable. The bar: is so beautiful... just from another time.

1st time here for lunch - food was absolutely delicious. The prawn & lobster bisque was amazing 👏 as was the lobster mac & cheese 😋 cocktails 🍸 were fab 👌 as well - only issue service was a bit slow but overall we had a great lunch.

Great place and good food, also good for a group and their private Dining room

Afternoon meal in the heart of Glasgow. We were promptly shown to our table, which was unfortunately not in a great position as I had a continual stream of customers and staff passing very close to my seat. If you get the chance opt for a booth. We ordered burgers, which were delicious and certainly home made. Portions are generous and you will certainly be well fed. The only problem we had was that one of our sides wasn't delivered, however we asked them to remove it from our order as we had more than sufficient. We will certainly return, but next time choose our seating in advance.

Great place with a really nice atmosphere. Food and drink were very nice although the waiter spilled a glass of Red wine onto our table and a glass of Prosecco all over the person I was with which wasn't ideal it was also quite cold at window area.

Not really a kids location, wasn't clear as we came looking for some good salmon after seeing previous reviews. Service was fine, portions were fancy and pricey wasn't terrible, but really only adult fare, even the Cesar Salad was a bit plain (even though it was stuffed with whole anchovies)

In for drinks only , did not disappoint brilliant cocktails and excellent red wine

Lovely meal, attentive and friendly service and gently bubbling atmosphere on a Friday lunchtime. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolutely loved this venue! Such a treat to experience the delicious VIP Menu, a 4 course meal which included a (large) cocktail. Bought this for myself and my husband courtesy of my favourite deal site, Glasgow based 'Itison', so we did not pay the full price. Everything from the friendly welcome on our arrival to a courteous and similarly friendly goodbye made us feel appreciated as customers. We would not hesitate to visit here again the next time we are in the city.

Very much with the times, food was good, and the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was sublime. Well worth a visit to this place.

A lovely experience in a fine building. Food very good, service friendly but not intrusive, atmosphere was good with other diners not too close.

Beautiful atmosphere and the burger that I had was one of the best. Friendly staff. Highly reccomend
