This is a very nice restaurant with very good food and a very nice location is very nice ambience. The staff are very nice and efficient. Really like their Scottish breakfast. It’s a good portion so it lasted me all day until I went back for dinner here. The interior is very cosy with big windows with plenty of views of the street. Everything about this place it’s just right. One of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow.

The restaurant feels quite rowdy and crowded but so long as you're prepared for that, it's a very special place to eat! The food was very good and the portion sizes, great! Service was a bit of a mess, having multiple different servers who would confuse our orders a bit, but still got the food we asked for. The highlight for me was my pornstar martini!! Didn't love the red sauce with my seafood pasta, but everyone else adored their meals!

Nice wee place, italian restaurant / chippy. Portions were big, pizza was delicious although bit hard to eat because of amount of cheese on it as the base is lovely and thin so had to fold it to eat it as was soggy and floppy but very tasty. Partners pasta Ragu was delicious, again a big portion. Staff were nice, wine was lovely and ideal position on Byres Road as we were going to Oran Mor for a gig.

My boyfriend and I went to Old Saltys for the first time this afternoon for lunch. We were greeted by two women who were very friendly and inviting, we got a great seat upstairs which was ideal for people watching lol. There was a great selection on the menu and I could have got so much but the smell instantly made me want a traditional chip shop fish and chips. I got haddock and chips and my boyfriend got the cod and chips, when it came the portion size was very generous, fresh and tasty. The staff were attentive and were constantly there if we needed anything. I also got a lovely gin spritz cocktail. The atmosphere, service and food were excellent and I'll definitely be back to try out some more of their tasty menu.

A random lunch choice in Glasgow that was very successful! This building has tons of character and I was glad my husband and I were seated in the upstairs with a nice view of below and the street. It was pretty busy so a little noisy at times but reasonable. We had Irn Bru (why do we not have this in Canada?!) and I had pizza while my husband had pasta. The pizza was large in size but with the thin crust it was actually perfect for a lunch and not too heavy. Mine had arugula, prosciutto, and parmesan. It was sooooo good. Wouldn't change a thing. My husband was very happy with the portion and flavors of his pasta. We sadly had no room for dessert! Our server was lovely and very attentive and fun. Wish I remembered her name. We got some great suggestions for places to visit in Glasgow after lunch thanks to her!
