   Small plates restaurant with excellent choices. I would definitely recommend pork and clams and scallops. There were a couple of problems but the staff were brilliant and resolved the issues quickly. Absolutely worth a visit.

   Our party chose from the market menu, excellent, portion sizes where just right. Our party all said that they would return and would recommend the Kelp.

   Being not in the centre of Glasgow helps this restaurant as it has to exist by the reputation of its food. I and my guest thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday lunch here. The setting is 70's international with booths onto the street plate glass window. Oysters small but interesting sauces/ additions. My Colley and lobster bisque the highlight for me. Mussels fine, the Kelp butter with the sourdough delicious. J loved her salmon tatare and squash tempura.

   The food is truly excellent, with the chef and staff going above and beyond to produce a menu that genuinely goes toe-to-toe with some of the best seafood restaurants in the U.K. The service was prompt, friendly, yet professional and the wait staff produced some of the best pre-dinner drinks I’ve had in ages; certainly the best I’ve ever had in Glasgow. All in all, my visit to Kelp was a genuinely memorable one, and definitely for all of the right reasons. I’ll most certainly be back!

   A dish described as 'figs in a blue cheese sauce with filo pastry ' came with a lot of 'shards' of pastry, said sauce and half a fig!

   We hadn't been here before. We picked it due to proximity to the Theatre Royal. It wasn't busy for a Saturday lunchtime but the calmness suited us. The staff were friendly and the service was top notch. We were offered one menu: £18 for two small plates and a side each. We struggled a bit to find six dishes between us that sounded appetising. You will like this place if you like tidbits of cured fish. Our favourites were the scallops and the roast potatoes. Not successful to our taste were the leeks. We love leeks, but these were large, undercooked rather tasteless chunks that we didn't finish.

    Had a great time at the restaurant with excellent and friendly service from all the staff. Quality of food is great with some interesting and unexpected fusions. It was very good value for money with costs for drinks, coffees and puddings being reasonable.

    Enjoyed a lovely lunch yesterday on its first day of opening this year. The food was excellent also the fact that we were offered the a la carte menu at the market price menu, two small plates plus a side each for £18.00 per head which is a very good deal. The hand picked Barra scallops were lovely. We also enjoyed a nice bottle of wine.

    Don’t go here for a pre theatre dinner . We waited 50 minutes for a first course and had to cut the rest of the meal short . There was obviously a problem on the night but no communication to explain . It is not a good idea to give some customers a free glass of wine or a reduction on their bill as an apology . It should be for everyone or no one . Won’t be returning anytime soon

    Food mixed - some courses excellent, others (tonka bean rice pudding) unpleasant. The venison was lukewarm on arrival but tasty. The fish was delicious. Service was extremely slow and inattentive - the waiter accidentally put his finger in my drink on the table but there was no offer to replace it. Overall it’s ok for pre theatre or casual catch up. Wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

    Limited menu, but cooked specifically for every order. Service, relaxed and helpful. Bathrooms not up to the standard of everything else, with bathroom door permanently open. Heating a bit breezy. We went for theses other things are petty opportunities to improve. Fresh Scottish seafood with an inventive twist. Wonderful

    Excellent food from the small plates menu, slightly spoilt by poor service. We were in a corner, behind the Christmas tree and the staff seemed to forget about us, to the extent that we had difficulty attracting their attention. This was a pre theatre dinner and we did explain that one of us was playing in the orchestra, but didn’t really feel that our timescale was taken on board. Also, the music was too loud for one of us who has a hearing deficit. Will certainly give it another try for the food - perhaps with the set menu if we are pre theatre again.

    Most choices were good, but the brussle sprouts were far too salty and rather over cooked, although the ingredients of recipe was interesting. Also we didn’t realise one of the tapas was going to be a soup so my granddaughter was rather disappointed and the mussels was far too much for her. Scallops was the best.

    A different dining experience. Tapa-ish with small plates - we chose 4 between the 2 of us plus chips on the side. Food is delicious - we had salmon, langoustines, fig & whipped blue cheese, scallops. Very tasty & more-ish. Good value too.

    Food is delicious, but our server didn't explain the menu to us and you really need to know what to expect. Everything is listed as small plates, but some are smaller than others. Food is interesting and creative, and is listed on the menu, but it really needs to be described to get a feel for what you're ordering.
