Windows Restaurant Restaurant in Glasgow

Reviews

1. Laura Analía Bojarski ★★★☆☆

   The restaurant it’s nice, an old hotel in a good location. the view is not good except for two tables in the corner. The food was okay, good portions, the pastries were good, the sandwiches a little bit simple but with a decent taste. The scones could be better (very plain flavor ) The service was just okay . they never explain how was the Afternoon tea’s service. they never checked if we need more tea of coffee. Or even water / Prosecco. We wanted to order a glass of prosecco but nobody check our table so we didn’t ask for it. If we would reader the reviews before go to this place , I’m not sure if we would choose it.

   The food was OK, but the savoury food was basically just little sandwhiches..no brioche buns or wraps. Scones were lovely and so were cakes. The view was nothing great. A lot of bird poo on the roof below. Room itself is quite dated looking. Finally staff were pleasant enough but never came back once to ask if everything was OK or if I wanted a refill of my coffee (which apparent you can get unlimited but I never knew as no on offered) so just a lack of attention. Over all the experience was OK.. but not really worth the money.

   Booked high tea for 2. We had a window seat overlooking the rooftops of Glasgow. Enjoyed the experience but to be honest I've had better food. I felt the sandwiches had been made much earlier because the bread wasn't as soft as it should have been. One scone each and they were tiny. The cakes were okay but not great. We struggled to get anyone to serve us more tea when our tea was cold. So overall I loved the venue but felt the food could have been better.

   When I first arrived there was nobody there and after giving my booking name they asked if I was eating alone, though the booking was for 2 people. The view which was the main reason for booking this restaurant with a guest from out of town, was ok - it does look out over the city but mainly at seagulls and rooftops. The door outside whistled and rattled, periodically slamming open and shut, throughout the meal. The cocktail menu which says something along the lines of ‘if you don’t see your drink, as for it and we can make one for you’ but they didn’t have the ingredients for the cocktail I asked for from their own menu - I believe a french martini. I then asked for amaretto which they also didn’t have and gave up and took a plain gin and tonic. The drink my friend asked for also wasn’t available so she got wine. I had the thai curry and added chicken, followed by ice cream. The curry was pretty awful and very watery. The ice cream was fine. The service, food and drink were all pretty poor and I wouldn’t go back.

   The view is very nice, about the same height as the buildings around the restaurant. So you have a nice side view over the city with chimneys, towers, older and more modern buildings. After chilling outside for a while until sunset on a warm sunny day, we went inside and had dinner. Even though some of the older reviews were not so good, we enjoyed the food very much. The staff was also very nice and accommodating.

   The view is just spectacular! If you want to see Glasgow from above, this is a good spot for it! The restaurant has two small terraces where you can sit outside and have a drink. Inside it is very cozy and I liked the atmosphere. Also the staff was very friendly and very attentive, asking several times if we wanted anything else. The food was coming fast, was very nice arranged and totally yummy. Alltogether a really pleasant experience!

   Visited windows restaurant for “Afternoon Tea” several times. A hidden gem in Glasgow city centre with stunning rooftop views, and if your lucky to experience a day in Glasgow when the sun is out, they have 2 mini terraces at each end of the restaurant to allow you a peak at the spectacular rooftop views over Glasgow City Centre. Food is always great, scones are excellent, always find the service great on arrival then seems to stagnate after this, a small observation. Overall great, the restaurant itself could do with a refurb, it has so much potential and would make a great rooftop hotel bar. Always on my list as a goto for Afternoon Tea.

   The location was amazing! We went primarily for the unique view of Glasgow. We had the afternoon tea which was ok - selection was relatively normal to other afternoon teas offered around the city but nothing to complain about either. It's a great place to bring your moms for a treat in my opinion!
