Absolutely fabulous birthday dinner and drinks at this hidden gem under central station. Excellent service and lovely staff. Fabulous good. Best rump steak I’ve eaten in a very long time. Great wine list. Gin cocktails and we had the sharing board to start. We ordered from the set menu too so great value for money especially compared to the quality of the food.

Couldn’t recommend this place enough, service was absolutely out of this world, so attentive. Lauren I believe served us alongside other staff but she stood out for her customer service, she deserves a raise asap. The mains were delicious, my steak was cooked to perfection and my partner’s chicken was juicy and flavourful. Unfortunately the starter I had ordered just wasn’t for me, nothing down to how it was cooked or presented I just didn’t like the taste! I couldn’t comment on dessert as I don’t eat sweets but we would be back. The cocktails are fantastic and again the service is next to none. My birthday dinner was definitely a hit!
Ps that roasted corn can I have a weekly subscription or the recipe please?

We were a bit disappointed that there was no chateaubriand left at 7pm on a Saturday night. However, our fillet and ribeye steaks were gorgeous. Sides and sauces equally good. Amazing food and in a quirky setting.

Pretty overpriced, wine is quite dear, staff are friendly but took quite a while to bring the food. Beers are pretty expensive. Cocktails were alright. Wine is a bit too expensive. It’s alright for a drink.
Steak could only be done pink or well done for the Sunday roast.

We booked our table at Alston through First Table (50% off food), and it was an amazing experience. The restaurant is tucked under Glasgow Central, offering an atmospheric setting with a unique vibe. It was exceptionally muggy in Glasgow and the temperature was just perfect below the stone arches. For starters. We had the Scallops and the Reuben on toast, both delicious and a decent portion. For mains we both went for the fillet, my friend got hers rare with mash and peppercorn sauce. I love a blue steak but from many a disappointment I went for rare too, however the amazing and super friendly server came back to say the chef was confident he could cook me the perfect blue steak and if not we would get our starters for free! Challenge excepted!! Holy steak it was perfect… .unfortunately I have walked past this place on numerous occasion’s and didn’t even know it was there and what amazing food they offered, and a wee cool bar side seeing as all the bars have been closed in the station, had it not been for First Table I would probably kept walking past. They need to up their marketing. Super lovely staff, fantastic food and setting. X

We did a eat walk food tours in Glasgow and this was one of our first stops. It was in Central Station. It was a perfect spot. The Steak Frites was cooked perfectly — juicy and full of flavor — while the crispy fries were spot on. We paired it with the famous Scottish Irn-Bru, adding a fun local twist. Great food, great service, and a great vibe!
Highly recommend

Had an amazing early dinner. We ordered the charcuterie and sides. What a flavour hit! Wonderful service that’s friendly and informative with being intrusive. Relaxed atmosphere, but still has something special about it. A definite must when in Glasgow. Thank you for this great find.

Lovely place for a steak with a really cool setting underneath the station. The steaks were good but the chateaubriand was a bit overcooked. The sides let it down a bit too, the triple cooked fries just weren’t as good as expected but the onion rings were delicious. Great atmosphere and waitress was friendly.

Stopped in here on a Sunday night to get my Sunday Roast fix, and am so glad I did.
Dispute being crowded, there was no wait to sit, and the waitress was friendly and provided great recommendations.
To start, I got the gin fizz, which had a great citrus flavor.
For my meal, I had the three course prefixe. My starter was the chicken thigh which was juicy and well seasoned. The labneh was the perfect touch, but the crispy chickpeas were not my favorite, so I just picked around them.
The roast was delicious. Very moist with large helping of mashed potatoes, roast potatoes and carrots, cabbage and peas. The gravy has a rich beef flavor and I loved the soft and fluffy Yorkshire pudding.
I was very full at this point but had to taste my desert. I chose the Margarita Cranachan. This was my first time ever hearing of this dish but it did not disappoints. It was a rich cream with berries, oats and a faint tequila flavor. I couldn’t eat it all because of the huge portion, but I’m glad I gave it a try.
If you’re in the area and have time for a nice bite to eat, I recommend giving it a try.

Gutted to have a disappointing experience here! We had booked for a birthday dinner and were really looking forward to celebrate.
We were sat at a door that staff were rushing in and out of which let a cold wind through (it would’ve been excused if the rest of our night went well which it did not). We had ordered a cocktail and asked if it was possible to be topped up with soda water as it was a short drink and the waitress assured us it would be fine. The waitress eventually brought over our drinks after a good wait, but brought a short cocktail and a glass of soda water laughing about how the barman made it incorrectly. I had to ask for her to return it and possible make it the way I had asked as she was going to leave it on the table and then asked me if I would just “pour it in” at the table. The bar man was in clear view of the restaurant and had a good rant about the cocktail in front of everyone making us very uncomfortable.
The food was extremely average, no one checked on our meal or offered us another round of drinks (probably to avoid another rant from the bar staff).
At the end of the meal it took a while to get the bill but it was topped off by a waiter asking us if we had paid when we got up to leave in front of the restaurant- he didn’t serve us and we had to assure him we had paid!
The restaurant wasn’t packed when we were there so really can’t excuse the service, the toilets needed a good tidy and there were filled bin bags left in front of the lift.
Really gutted about this experience and a waste of £100!
