First night out since Mrs C discovered her gluten and dairy intolerance. Friendly welcome on arrival followed by a seat in the cosy bar as your table is made ready. My wife informed the staff about her dietary requirements and a menu was quickly presented. Pretty restricted choice because of her dairy (lactose) intolerance, limiting her to only two or three options. However, the food was beautifully prepared and presented when it arrived. Seems to be a popular destination of an evening judging by the amout of diners that were in.Ok, enough ego pumping. Let’s look at the down side. Despite advertising a decent gluten and dairy free menu, it didn’t seem that way (see above). In my opinion, if you offer a menu for those with allergens then surely the front of house staff should be well versed or trained with regard to what customers can and cannot have. Case in point; my wife was offered a bread roll. She informed the server about her condition and he sought out the manager for advice. In the end she was offered a rye roll. I tried to warn her against this for several reasons. The roll was in the same basket as the other gluten packed ones and was served using the same tongs. Cross contamination! Also, thanks to chef training, I know rye contains gluten. Sadly our night was cut short as she quickly became ill.Nice place. Lovely food. Good atmosphere. But that incident let it down for us.
Seafood lover. Terrible food, overpriced and horrible atmosphere. Very disappointing after reading some great reviews. Will never return and suggest others think twice before splashing a lot of cash on a mediocre at best restaurant.03 Dec, 2011Come on Glasgow!!!!. The best fish restaurant in Glasgow WTF this place is total garbage!! If this is the best Glasgow has to offer then there is something definitely fishy going on! The restaurant soloists to pride it’s self on fresh fish what a bloody joke that is! We where served over priced sashimi which was tough off colour and even leathery in texture on yeah and served kinda fancy what a rip off! The decor was cheap and had a sweaty chip shop feel, the smell when you walk in was even a bit off ! The oysters where shucked very poorly andnwe where spitting out shell for 5min. Then things got progressively worse I opted for the steak for a main and they even managed to stuff that up! It was poorly cooked with a piss sauce! My partners main was served in a silly wee bag again with a bloody awful sauce! And the sides of chips and veg where bloody raw! Save your pennies Glasgow buy a fish supper somewhere and take it home with a nice bottle do not ever go to this pathetic excuse for a restaurant!!! Shame shame shame Glasgow you would get fresher fish out the clyde!!!
First Class food, and I have eaten at Gamba with clients and friends 4 times in 2 weeks…. That’s how good it is.
Absolutely excellent food. Expensive but worth it. Staff were a little reserved, verging on snooty.
Very good + very expensive. Sat across from Celtic legend Pat Bonnar which was a nice start, not so nice was the freezing cold aircon that I had to ask the staff to turn off. Glasgow in October and they had the aircon on!!The food was faultless, fish soup followed by spaghetti + mixed seafood, my wife had cod and prawns. We also ordered some chips and they were a delight – nice and brown and made by a chef that certainly knows his / her chips. Take note everyone an eaterie that sells real (as opposed to frozen) chips.No complaints whatsoever about the quality of the food and the presentation. The house wine we opted for was a light, fruity Italian red (I know you should have white with fish but who cares) reasonabaly priced at around 15.00’ish.The loo was spotless and my overall experience was very good indeed. You need deep pockets for this place however, we spent 116.00 ! 9/10.
Probably the best seafood restaurant in Glasgow. Diners are rarely disappointed.
Extraordinarily Good Seafood. Gamba is one of those restaurants that has been so good for so long that it is really easy to overlook it’s virtues. For 11 years it has been arguably the best seafood restaurant in Glasgow. The food isn’t cheap, but it so beautifully prepared & professionally served that it seems churlish to complain. The fish is lovingly treated and never overpowered by the accompanying sauces. I have never been disappointed by the desserts (always the highpoint of a meal for me) & my wife rates the fish soup as being the finest she has ever tasted.
