The Merchant Steakhouse in Glasgow City

A brilliant experience and the food was excellent

Great disappointment. Food was lukewarm, lights to bright, tables too close together & the restaurant was cold. Service was slow. Main courses came out in stages we were half way through our steak before our chips arrived. My other half paid extra for 40 day dry aged steak (was underwhelming) Cocktail was amazing that's about it. They don't sell pints it was a schooner however at £5.50 was over priced.

Amazing food as always , staff friendly and helpful . Coming back for Christmas Day

Lovely meal, just a shame that we were on such a small table and it was so close to other tables. Felt a little crammed in.

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. Fantastic food - steak cooked to perfection and the cauliflour cheese was a show stopper. The chips were everything you want and more. The atmosphere is classy and the staff were great it really brings everything together. Would recommend and revisit.

Great Food and Service. Joe was especially helpful . Thank you

If I could give this place 7 stars I would. Food and wine were absolutely incredible!! The tomahawk steak was maybe the best steak I've ever had!! Service went above and beyond and we're welcoming friendly and knowledgeable about the cuts and the wine! Atmosphere was fantastic, really classy place for a date or a good dinner with family ! 12/10 would recommend!!!

We attended the merchant steak house for a big family reunion with in-laws from canada for a nice meal and we were not disappointed! The staff were fantastic, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and feels very classy and inviting. The food was amazing, we attended on a Tuesday so we could benefit from the amazing Tomahawk steak night deal (feeding 2 for £55) which is an absolute bargain (see photos) we will be back again soon as this deal os too good to pass up. The in-laws were very impressed and will recommend Merchant Steak house to future visitors to Glasgow. 10/10 honestly 👍

Joe was amazing, knew how do deal with us. Gave great advice on food and allergies. Not negatives at all. Keep being who you are Joe.

Food was Stunning, Drinks were Awsome & our server Joe was Brilliant, couldn't ask for better service, highly recommended 🙂

Great food and fantastic service from our server Joe. Would highly recommend and will be back

Ordered the tomahawk and it tastes outstanding. My only complaint was that it didn't arrive the warmest I felt. It was served on a cold metallic plate with some leaves underneath... I would have had the steak on a sizzle plate or at least had the metallic plate heated up. I guess the steak could keep on cooking on the sizzle plate etc but cold steak isn't the best. Small but only complaint to a wonderful meal.

Food was delicious. Well done worth the money. Staff and service was great. Overall could not fault. Would highly recommend.

Hands down the best steak restaurant in Glasgow and a gal knows a good steak.. My partner and I had the fillet steak cooked exactly like we'd asked both with pepper sauce along with sides of hand cut chips, mac & cheese, cauliflower cheese, bbq corn and garlic mushrooms. We really ate a lot and enjoyed ourselves, everything was faultless. The staff were all lovely and not overbearing, the restaurant was cosy and played music. My biggest peeve with restaurants nowadays is they are always freezing and patrons are sitting wearing their outdoor jackets and this place was not like that. Special mention to the waitress I forget her name even though I asked for it as we were leaving, she was fairly new and was so nice to us. All the staff were great. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and this restaurant was definitely worth every penny. Will be back for sure.

Came here twice in a weekend. Amazing steak and starter then tried their famous Sunday roast, and I can confidently say it’s the best in town. Perfectly cooked beef, rich gravy, and those Yorkshire puddings… divine. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined. Very very good service from this lovely girl with a blonde hair? (The lighting is too dark to tell the colour of her hair) and good value for money. Having tried a few different steakhouse in Glasgow, this one is definitely by far my favourite.

Our first visit, and just fantastic from start to finish… food and service was fabulous. We’ll definitely be back. Special mention to Joe for being utterly lovely… a really warm welcome, super helpful and knew his stuff! Really made our visit very special.

William the head chef makes the best burgers i would say it was no.1 on my list of burgers and i have been everywhere and also the waiters and waitress's are fantastic honestly the best restaraunt in merchant city

I am not sure how this meal could have been topped! We are massive foodies and have tried a number of highly rated steak restaurants in Glasgow and this chateaubriand is our new favourite. Cant wait to come back and try the Tomahawk as we got speaking to the exec Chef William Lee and now understand why it was so good - the passion this man has for making great quality steak really shows and made a recognisable difference in the flavour and tenderness of the meat. Special mention to Joe our server who made us feel so welcome and was fabulous from start to finish. Super friendly, knowledgeable and very attentive which makes a great meal even better. On a random note - I appreciate the effort that went into the website! I love all the information, photos, specials etc as a lot of restaurants dont bother with things like that. So much love went into this place and it shows, will absolutely be back.

Booked this for a 50th birthday surprise. Called and booked several months previous, as some dietary requests to. From the minute we arrived Joseph our server was very polite and attentive. The food was excellent, we both had starters, then the aged fillet and a dessert. The whole experience was an evening to remember, thank you to the whole team, including Joseph , the chefs and the new lady whose first night it was. We are from Halifax and just wish there were a restaurant that served the quality of meal we experienced from yourselves, we will be back and thank you for making the whole evening so special.

First time I have had a steak in a long time and its left me wanting more! Staff were really friendly and the man I assume is the manager was super friendly and attentive to our questions. Service overall was very attentive. Overall a very good steak some would say best steak in Glasgow? I havent had enough steaks recently to comment but I feel it will certainly be hard to beat. Tomahawk to share was definitely a good choice. My brother who lives in Manachester also thoroughly enjoyed the haggis spring rolls - a must try!

Always a pleasure, staff are always attentive friendly

Great day date with my hubby in a pit favorite steakhouse. Chateaubriand Steak was divine, service impeccable (as always). Love, love, love! Highly-highly recommended!

Had an absolutely fantastic meal today the flavours in the food were outstanding, would highly recommend a visit if you're in Glasgow

Superb food, excellent service. Luke is a fabulous server

Incredible service from Joe, he above and beyond for us in explaining everything. Lovely meal, would reccomend.

After having had too many bad experiences elsewhere, we decided to try The Merchant Steakhouse as a final try, and to date, we’ve never been disappointed, in fact they have now restored our faith in Steaks, I highly recommend this place, the staff are friendly, the food is excellent, we won’t go anywhere else now for a steak

Excellent food, excellent service from Joe, would highly recommend the fillet steak was tremendous

Great experience all round. Joe was our waiter and was excellent. Highly recommend The Merchant Steakhouse

Very amazing service by Corey everything was fantastic, I would recommend it to everyone 👍

To be fair the food was lovely but could have been served a bit warmer and we waited for 1 hour on our food , a waiter did apologise for the delay. The restaurant was cold , would have been more comfortable if again was warmer.

Joe is absolutely fabulous waiter, so accommodating and even recommended us places to go for a drink near where we were going overall brilliant experience will come again

Our server Joe was on point. Fabulous attention, over topping up our wine and water. Great detail on menu items. Couldn't fault him. Well recommended xx

Brilliant food, brilliant staff couldn’t say a bad word about the restaurant best in Glasgow !

Our night began with a wonderful welcome at the door and we were shown to our seat. The lovely waitress we had all night was so polite, chatty and so happy at her job. The food was beautiful but i did mention to the waitress that the sauce provided with the truffles was VERY spicy. We had a lovely Sunday Roast dinner and will certainly be back. Thank you

We went for Sunday roast which was delicious & great value. Our server Joe was so friendly & helpful.

This was our first visit to this restaurant. The service was superb right from the minute we walked in. We were early but got seated immediately and the waiter Joe looked after us from there. He was efficient and knowledgeable about the menu, attentive but not overbearing and the food was awesome. We will be back!!!

Joe was excellent, really attentive and we had a lovely roast. See you next time.

Excellent experience!!!! Everything was very delicious, the meat was delicious and on point, Joe was very friendly, luxury service!!!! Super recommended... a special thank you from Mexico.

Really lovely steakhouse. Went there for a birthday celebration and our server Joe was great! The steak was superb, service and atmosphere was fantastic and even gave a wee glass of fizz for the birthday man 😌 really made us feel special on the evening. Would recommend and be back again for sure! Thank you

We visited the Merchant steakhouse for the first time. It was a lovely restaurant, decor very tasteful and welcoming. We were greeted warmly and our server Joe was amazing. Staff delivering the food and drinks were all lovely too!! He’s such a warm character who explained the menu to us and was very polite and attentive to us which made our time very special. The food was totally amazing…. Starters of beef shin croquettes, goats cheese tartlet with pear, both so fresh and tasty. Then followed by the chateaubriand served medium rare, best steak I’ve had in town for a long time. It was Devine, cut like butter. Had sides of chips, garlic potatoes which were yummy. Cauliflower cheese was luvly too, was served with mushroom and tomato which were both delicious. We then shared a chocolate torte with ice cream, was super yummy. Compliments to the chef and staff of the restaurant who made our time very special! Enjoyed it so much I’ve just booked Sunday lunch!! Thank you!!

Food was a little cold (mash potato)

Lovely Sunday roast, much nicer than the offering from the buchershop in Finneston. I definitely will be back to try the steaks and the sunday roast. Delicious.

This place is so nice! The environment, the food, the staff! And Heather the waitress she was so lovely and polite… highly recommend

One of the best steaks I’ve had, very good service from Sorin

Joe looked after us brilliantly - he was perceptive and friendly but didn’t intrude on our meal.

We had an amazing meal, best steak in years. Staff were brilliant with a special shout out to Joe. I have to also point out the evening we were in there was a lady diner whose behaviour was atrocious, she was loud and obnoxious and aggressive towards the staff. They handled it impeccably but I wouldn’t have given her a free meal as we suspect that was her end goal! Can’t wait to return :)

Fabulous family day. Service was great and food lovely. Our server was Sorin. He was super great. We will definitely come back

Had an absolutely brilliant time here with my family. We all went for the Sunday Roast and it was amazing. Fantastic food and great service to our very large gathering. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

Brilliant night. Our waitress Heather was very informative and attentive. Strongly recommend :).

Food was amazing! First time trying a beef wellington and it did not disappoint. Our server Joe was also fantastic and gave us recommendations where to go for a drink after dinner!

This is my first time coming to Glasgow from London and I can honestly say I’m so impressed with the service at the merchant steak house. Joe was incredibly friendly and helpful. He made mine and my husbands experience fantastic. I would 100% be coming back. Joe also gave us good advise on where to enjoy the rest of our evening as we are not from the area. We can’t thank Joe enough. His a credit to the steakhouse.

Food and service from Heather were exceptional. I would recommend the tomahawk to a professional chef!

Outstanding food, steaks were amazing perfectly cooked, excellent service from the staff, high recommended a visit here, will definitely be back.

We had the best family catch up, Joseph, our waiter, recognised the family atmosphere right from the outset and gave us our space. He was very attentive without being overbearing, and while the menu had an extensive choice he was patient with his knowledgeable explanation. His recommendations were gratefully received and added to the whole dining experience. We had a great time. Food, service were both top notch and we will be back…

Food was perfect. We've been to a lot of steakhouses in Glasgow and this has shot straight up the list for us. Will definitely be back. Starters were amazing and steaks cooked to perfection. Erin was great and the place had a great atmosphere.

Erin was such a lovely helpful waitress, great steak and starters

The beef wellington was stunning, the sides came up later which should have been at the same time. However the end pieces did not contain any beef, so the two slices are very expensive no matter how well cooked the pieces served are.

Mid-Aug 2024 Booked on-line to arrive 15 mins later … friendly reception; pleasant table in moderately busy restaurant. Food was good, but the star of the evening was JOE who commented when asked in a friendly competent manner and was efficient and accurate in service, but was not OTT, if anything he was understated in attitude. Really liked Joe … bar staff were committed and good at their job too.

Great food, fantastic service lovely meal

Food & drinks were great. Erin was lovely and the stuff were all so friendly. Will definitely be back.

Food gorgeous, Staff wonderful, restaurant beautiful. What more can I say. Go there and have a wonderful time. Full to the brim with gorgeous food and still drooling at the thought of other things on the menu...

Went for an anniversary dinner. The meal was amazing with generous portion sizes. Our server Heather was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations!

Loved everything, we will rebook , thanks for the evening

Fantastic experience - Sorin and Heather were very attentive and happy to cater to any request. Wide array of steaks available and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!

First time visiting, we enjoyed our Sunday Lunch. The food was wonderful and staff were very professional. Our one complaint would be noise level, the music was so loud my husband and I had trouble hearing each other.

Amazing service, great food and ambiance and incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff - highly recommend

Food great. Music too loud and not suitable for a steak restaurant. Had to ask for salt and pepper and for the aircon to be turned off as it was really cold and diners were putting on jackets. When leaving bar staff more interested in their phone than engaging with customers. Ambience and some staff let down the quality served from the kitchen. Overpriced for what it was though.

Food was fabulous. Not only where u getting a good amount of food for your money but the flavours were out of this world. It also helps that’s sorin the handsome devil was serving us all night long

Hade a class steak in here last night and brilliant chat from the waiter Joe. Highly recommended 👍

Staff that know what they are doing. Great food. It's a place to visit 100👌

Thank you so much joseph for giving me the best birthday experience ever ! so polite and really good seevice ! took the time and effort to go above and beyond for us, cant wait to come back! thank you again

Truffle Mac is a must have. Perfect spot for a special occasion, helped ease the pain of turning 31. The Kir Royal renewed my interest in Champagne, Boyfriend is thrilled about that....

We came as a family with a 10 month old baby girl to celebrate my husband's birthday...it was an excellent experience...food was exceptional. staff were friendly and helpful and mostly our granddaughter was welcomed in this restaurant. We will definitely return to try more choices and steaks. Thanks again for a good night

Me and my boyfriend came here yesterday for his 21st birthday. The waiter was brilliant, she was very nice and polite and easy to talk to! The food was 10/10 😍 we loved our steak absolutely cooked to perfection, so tender and juicy. They also gave my boyfriend a card writing happy birthday. Will definitely come again.

Excellent food and excellent service

Went with my wife on Sunday 25/08/2024 we went along to have a Sunday roast which didn’t disappoint!!! Two courses for £25.00 We decided to have the desert rather than a starter! Joseph our server was very attentive and polite! We will definitely go back very soon! 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Very tasty steaks, nice service and nice ambience. Right next to the Merchant City, there are plenty of pubs in the area for a musical nightcap afterwards.

Best steak I have had in a while real good atmosphere, definitely be back

Delicsious food. Excellent service. Great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend. Keep an eye out for mid-week sharing steak deals.

Joseph looked after us during our dining experience and from start to finish we cannot complain about a single thing. Great atmosphere great staff great food. Will certainly be back.

A very comfortable space. Well prepared menu and delivered on point. Service exceeded expectations. A real little gem in a beautiful location - we will return

Was warmly welcomed by Lauren who also served us. Customer service was fantastic and checked upon us at the right times. Food was also stunning - especially the mashed potatoes. There was a great atmosphere within the restaurant aswell! Would recommend- Thanks Lauren☺️

First visit to the Merchant Steakhouse. We Pre ordered the Beef Wellington. It was worth every penny, meat was cooked to perfection, full of flavour. The salt & chilli stem broccoli was amazing. The whole experience from start to finish was fantastic. The staff were all so helpful and friendly. I can't recommend enough. I will definitely be back.

Good food great service server was brilliant and the mash potatoes were stunning

Great Sunday roast. Special thanks to Joe for the great service.

Amazing experience with Joe. Thank you so much for great service. We loved the food and cocktails

Fantastic steak experience. We got a chance to see the dry ager in the basement. They dry age their Aberdeen Angus steak in-house! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

Food was excellent and Joseph our waiter was fabulous.

Excellent service friendly and helpful always around but not over shadowing you.

Initially didn't have the best experience, however management did a fantastic job of turning it all around. Anton was consistently excellent. William and Daryl also took the time to listen to us and ensure we had a great time when we returned. Joe was the perfect host: inquisitive, friendly and informative. Chateaubriand was superb. In fact, all the courses were excellent. Attention to detail, perfect levels of service and a feeling of genuine consideration were prevalent throughout. This is now my go-to steak restaurant in Glasgow.

Had a lovely birthday celebration with our family. Complimentary glass of Prosecco was a nice touch! Delicious fillet steaks and Tomahawk steak were enjoyed by all. Excellent, attentive service.

Had a great night here for my son’s birthday. Lovely touch of a card on the table and a free glass of Prosecco. The food was amazing which was obvious by all our empty plates! A big shout out to Joe for looking after us. He was very informative and friendly and had a great sense of humour which all added to the night. A big thank you from us all x

Dined here on Tuesday 30th July, celebrating my sister’s birthday. I made a few observations but stick with me. Firstly, I was surprised when 1 of the guests ordered the Porterhouse Steak, to be told there was none? That was quickly remedied by ordering the Fillet. Our 1st starter came, soup, but a good few minutes passed before the 2 scallop dishes appeared, then the tart and finally the bone marrow. In total I would say at least 7 minutes passed from 1st receiving the soup. Nobody would start until the final dish came. All starters polished off. It was just as slow bringing out our mains, and as we were just a party of 6, I was perplexed by this. Disappointed that no lobster cracker or pick came with dish, I had to ask for them. Despite what you may think reading this we had an amazing experience here. A card was on the table for my Sister, the attentiveness, professionalism and friendliness we received from Lauren and her team was second to none and the food was 1st class. This is our 4th visit here and Glasgow, again, has a few Steahouses but, in my opinion, The Merchant Steakhouse beats them all hands down. 5star rating from these diners. Thank you team 👍

Service was tremendous, Joe was very helpful and had an excellent answer for every concern that i had. Will be back!

Visited with my partner for the Chateaubriand Thursday deal and everything was spot on. Portion sizes were just right and steak was cooked to perfection. We were served by Erin who was an absolute delight and made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Overall great experience and value for money, will definitely be back!

Great Sunday roast. Will be back

Fabulous food. Spectacular service. Enjoyable experience. Will be back!

Absolutely cooked to perfection. Couldn’t fault a single thing. Lovely staff and comfortable seating too. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. 🤩🤩

First time visiting, brilliant service and food. Big thanks to Joe for taking care of us, couldn’t have done any more and just heightened the already lovely experience. Will definitely be back!

We hadn't booked and they found us a table. Excellent food. Amazing. We are really satisfied. It costs money, but it's worth it
