   Thank you for our wonderful Sunday lunch, everything was fantastic, from the friendly welcome when we arrived, the gorgeous drinks at the bar, we were then seated at a great table (apologies to the waiting staff for my partners impatience and trying to change his drinks order at the serving hatch) the roast was absolutely delicious, the deserts delightful and our services friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to return.

   My rib eye was lovely but my husbands sirloin was tough, No tomato or mushroom to garnish so meal looked very plain. Starters of peppers and scallops was ok but nothing special. Overall we were disappointed with the meal for the money we paid 10% service charge was ok as staff were attentive without being intrusive.

   First came to Alstons 2 years ago and fell in love with the place. Menu has been expanded now but it hasn’t been to the detriment of the quality. Felt a bit guilty not getting a steak and went for the stroganoff. Wasn’t disappointed at all, it was absolutely incredible. As was everything else we ordered. The cocktails are superb and the staff are top class. Can’t say enough good things about the place and have been talking the place up since we first visited and that won’t change.

   Wow!! I love this place, food is simply fantastic, I had King Prawns to start, then a Fillet Steak washed down with a couple of Peroni’s and some Malbec. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are excellent!

   We love this restaurant, best steak house in Glasgow. We had the chateaubriand and it was cooked to perfection. Also tried the jalapeño man ‘n’ cheese and it was delicious. This is our ‘go to’ for a meal that never disappoints. The staff are always friendly and polite. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    After just a few minutes we were the last guest at the restaurant. This lead to a lot of cleaning going on in the background and rubbish being carried out while we were eating(restaurant was still open for another 2h+). The cleaning and tidying noise around us and the absolut dead restaurant, didn’t produce a very nice atmosphere to eat at. Overall food is pretty expensive for what it was and the atmosphere was bad to eat to.

    Enjoyed a nice Sunday evening meal at Alston. restaurant was quite busy and due to the railway arch/cellar build the acoustics tend to make the place quite noisy if full of diners. it was a nice atmosphere though, with some tables with young children and a birthday party. Our only disappointment was that the chicken was sold out on the Sunday Roast Menu. Service was good, mainly by a young lad, very pleasant manner. We have dined hear numerous times and will definitely be back, 22nd in fact. The setting was warm and cosy, with a quick jump on the train home.

    Service was poor on this occasion. Young man dealing with our table and he ignored eye contact, carried on with menial tasks. I had to approach cash desk after 10/15min+ to settle bill. Don’t add a service charge you cannot deliver on.

    Service is fantastic very quick. Staff are friendly. I had roast chicken wings in bbq sauce and sesame for starters and main was Steak with chips. Food tasted lovely only thing I will say is the food and drink is little pricey but other than that it’s a great place to eat and drink.

    Steak came out cold with no outer sear/crust. My partners steak was also chewy and hard to cut compared to mine, both came with a tiny peppercorn sauce which would cost you £2 for an extra. Starters and drinks were good but wouldn’t go back.

    We were sat down at the table with no menus and it took us 15 minutes to get a menu and to order a drink. Main course took nearly 50 minutes to come. Restaurant was only half full, so unsure if it was in experienced staff or staff shortages. Thankfully the food was fantastic when it came, which means that we may visit again. Really poor service though, no feeling that they were there to look after us.

    The starters we ordered were disappointing. Goats cheese galette was missing any taste of goats cheese and the scallop dish was rather mean. The steaks we ordered were delicious and also the chips. For the bill to be 128.00 with wine was rather expensive. Sorry but we would not be rushing back. Good but not great.

    I love restaurants in the bowels of train stations. The Oyster Bar in Grand Central springs to mind. The Aston does not disappoint. Great ambiance and even better steaks.

    Works Xmas lunch was extremely disappointing, 2 hours into service at 2pm and one of the 4 options for Xmas lunch menu was sold out? We were Unable to swap butter beans for roast potatoes as unable to accommodate this (although roasts were on menu with another main course but when my colleagues meal came the roast potatoes were cremated), starters were minuscule and only fish option on a la carte was tiny with no vegetables given. Sticky toffee pudding although in salted caramel sauce was so salty it was inedible and sent back. I’ve eaten here at least 5 times before and unfortunately have never had such a disappointing meal in every course. Sad to give such a poor review but I have provided good reviews in the past and feel it’s only fair to provide a review when disappointed too. Left the restaurant hungry I’m afraid
