The Merchant Steakhouse in Glasgow City

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

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!!!

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

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

Food was a little cold (mash potato)

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!!

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

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…

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.

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.

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...

Great food, fantastic service lovely meal

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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☺️

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.

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.

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 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

Food and service excellent as always.

Visited the restaurant for the first time on Wednesday evening. Everything was amazing! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. The service from Joe was fantastic. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back!

“ My partner took me here for date night on Wednesday evening and it did not disappoint. Decor was beautiful, food was exceptional and the service was amazing. My partner and I are massive fans of steak and these were incredible! Service from Joe was great - really friendly and funny. Shout out to the bar tender for the amazing cocktails. Will absolutely return. “

Overall the food was of a good quality. 1 meal arrived cold, when sent back the staff were very apologetic. No discount etc for the inconvenience.

Slightly disappointed overall. It was a birthday treat for my wife and while the food was lovely I thought the overall experience of the restaurant promised more than it delivered. Another issue, which was partially our fault, was that my wife’s steak came with a mushroom. She has a mushroom allergy and it didn’t mention mushrooms on the menu nor was she asked by the server. The steak was re-plated but came back with nothing else on the plate, only steak. So my wife had a roughly £50 steak and chips. Overall I doubt we will be back again, which is a shame because as I said it promised so much.

Enjoyed a fabulous meal here last night with my partner. Everything was amazing! Stylish decor but really cosy. Staff attentive and friendly but not annoying! As always food was incredible. Especially the bone marrow starter which was delicious. Chateaubriand tender and flavoursome. Didn't have room for dessert but couldn't resist the marahmallow brulee. Lovely to meet chef William and thank him. Can't wait to come back. It's special!

The starters failed to impress but the steaks were the main focus and these were cooked to perfection. They tasted delicious. The triple cooked chips were also tasty. Staff were friendly and accommodating but I feel the starters and wine were slightly overpriced compared to other nearby restaurants.

The food was delicious and the service was brilliant!

Service from our actual waitress was good. However Really disappointed with the attitude of the one of your staff members when leaving. We waited for the bill and when it didn't come we went to the front counter. My wife simply asked if we could get the bill and was told “I’m doing something else just wait, I wasn't doing your table” . To be clear this was the same guy who showed us to our table and neglected ( according to our female waitress ) to tell us there was no lamb rack available. Sorry but this guy was rude and we have no intention of returning.

So server was unsure of steaks and as steak restaurant you would expect them to know all the cuts, and unfortunately my steak came out rare I asked for medium, I showed them how rare it was but was in rush and had put my sauce on steak so ate what I could. I've been before and always good, this time was dissapointing, and the fact server had no idea what cote de beouf is being a steak restaurant lol.

Food ok- went to pay after we can’t get anyone’s attention at the table and I said we would like to pay. Waiting some time as a male is putting things into computer, I asked are you getting our bill? He was rude and abrupt and said it wasn’t his table - like that countered . He attitude was very poor and rude

Joe and Erin provided wonderful service . It was a special romantic night for myself and partner . We needed that romantic atmosphere and service which was well provided by Joe and Erin . I will definitely be coming back

Beautifully cooked tomahawk steak was amazing and Chef Chris was very pleasant and informative. Great experience.

Erin was fantastic. Excellent service

Best steak I’ve had to date 80day aged bone in ribeye was excellent

Amazing food, great service and friendly atmosphere, would recommend!!

-The restaurant is crowded and I think it is best to book in advance. -I arrived and waited 30 minutes. -The staff's behavior is wonderful -The atmosphere is beautiful and fun -The food is delicious and I enjoyed the tomato soup very much. -The steak and sauces are delicious.

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday. The food was excellent, great choices on the menu and wine list. The service was flawless and our server Joseph was so friendly, informative and attentive. I will definitely be back soon!

Food was amazing. Steak was out of this world and cooked to perfection. Service was good and Joe was kind and knowledgeable, however other waiters who brought the food seemed distant and not comfortable at times. However they may be new and this will be over come I am sure. Very good overall and we will go again to sample more dishes as it was amazing.

An amazing sunday afternoon. Our server Joe was so kind and funny. William our chef was amazing and took the time to explain in detail the aging process of our steak, truly exceptionally.

Sunday roast was an honest 10/10, the service was perfect, we got served by Joe but every member of staff made our visit extremely special, they went extra mile to even offer an umbrella while we were having a cigarette brake as it was pouring. The Bloody Mary was outstanding the bar staff are extremely experienced! We definitely will be back !

Phenomenal experience. Excellent staff and service, food was absolutely outstanding, best steak I’ve ever had and the sides and starters were all spot on. Definitely be back soon!

Good atmosphere, the manager chaz was very helpful and attentive.

Unreal experience, took my partner here for her graduation surprise dinner celebrations, I asked for someone to just wish her congratulations, but staff went above and beyond, 2 people wished her congratulations, a personalised card, a on the house glass is Prosecco. Food was OUTSTANDING, got the picanha cut, fries, and mac, absolutely outstanding, I believe (erin?) is her name. Our server, well worthy of the tip she received from us. Controlling 90+% of the tables and never left us hanging, we’ve been to the likes of miller and carter, mcmillans steak house, so on so forth. And BY FAR the best service, personalisation, myself coming from a customer service and commission based line of work, I truly appreciate personal touches, and showing that you care for customers, and myself and my partner adored it. Will be our go to from now on. Keep up the great work!!! Andrew & Adele!
