A lovely place, popular and busy. Modern quirky decor and friendly helpful young staff. The food was good but not fantastic, the drinks are expensive. £6.40 for 2 small bottles of lemonade is ridiculous.

Overview
OUIBar + KTCHN is the ground-floor restaurant and bar at Radisson RED Glasgow on Finnieston Quay, next to the SEC and OVO Hydro. It is pitched for casual meals, cocktails and a game of pool — especially useful before or after a gig — with Frank Quitely comic-book murals in the hotel interiors. The kitchen’s selling point is fresh Neapolitan-style pizza (Simply Red margherita from £12.50; toppings up to about £18), plus smash burgers, fish and chips, mac ’n’ cheese, curries and sharers. Evening food runs daily 4–10pm; the bar stays open until midnight. Breakfast buffet is also served here (weekdays from 6:30am, weekends from 7am; adults £17, under-13s free on the hotel listing). Look out for OUI Sessions (live music with local artists) and a monthly Boogie Brunch. Sister rooftop venue RED Sky Bar is upstairs for Clyde views and cocktails. A discretionary 10% service charge is added. Exhibition Centre station is a short walk; hotel parking is available (about 70 spaces). Reviews are mixed on service speed on Hydro nights — book or arrive early when a big show is on.
Reviews
Service was fine as we were sat relatively quickly but there was lack of communication between staff Food took 45 minutes since ordering and was clearly sat out until the whole order could arrive at the table Halloumi burger and fries were barely warm while pizza was doughy and moist in the middle
Read on Google MapsArrived on time and had to wait as the place was super busy with the pre gig crowd. Good sign usually. Food took a fair while as the kitchen was backed up. The entire hotel had run out of red wine so we fell back to cocktails. Had to send one espresso martini back as it was more foam than martini! Pizza was doughy, I think it's needed a bit more time in the oven but the toppings were good. The chicken burger was super crunchy. Despite the various mishaps, the staff coped well and were friendly at all times. Even swapped the martini and made it free. One to avoid if there's a gig on I think
Read on Google MapsFood pricey for what you get decidedly average quality. some of the seating is incredibly cramped. You can gey a better meal at the Clyde built in the SEC for a lot less dosh.
Read on Google MapsAte here as we were guests at the hotel. It took too long to be seated even though there were plenty staff wandering about. Once we were seated our order was taken quickly and food arrived in a good time. Once we finished we sat for way too long, the place wasn’t busy so we couldn’t understand why no one came to check on us. We ordered a dessert and it arrived in decent time too. Food was fine, not bad but not anything special. Staff were friendly but just need to be a little more attentive.
