I've been wanting to go to Number 16 for a long time after hearing people rave about it & I'm pleased to say that it is excellent. We headed in for lunch today and the lunch menu was 2 courses for £11.95 or 3 courses for £14.95. We had the sweet potato, lemongrass, chilli & coriander broth and the rainbow... More

My partner booked this dinner for us to celebrate our anniversary and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The food and service were both brilliant! Above all I found the attention to detail from staff and polite manner made the meal that much more enjoyable. Especially with my partner having a nut allergy the waitress check the dishes for us...

The service was excellent and the food was simple and delicious. We were able to order from the 3-course menu and it was a bargain to boot.

I booked lunch here through the 5pm website. We got a free glass of wine which was really nice. Our meal was lovely and it exceeded my expectations. It was great value for money. The service was good too and we felt well cared for. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This small cosy restaurant served us some great quality food for an excellent price. The pre theatre menu includes a good range of options. I'd recommend a visit if you are in Glasgow and fancy a trip out to the west end

We booked a table after reading reviews on TA. We were told they needed the table back by 7.30 pm which wasn't a problem for us. We arrived 5-10 early and the staff were sitting eating their meal. Another couple arrived two minutes after us. They were shown upstairs to their table and we were seated at the front door.... More

My partner and I booked for lunch and ate from the set lunch menu. The selection was varied and had something for everyone. We ended up having 3 courses as it was so good, with everything served beautifully. Our waitress couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. Overall a charming restaurant with excellent food and nice staff, what more could... More

One of the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The pork belly was literally the most tender piece of meat I have ever eaten, and the apple sauce blend that was served on it complimented the pork in a way that challenged my palette in an unbelievable way.
