    My husband and I loved the location of Gamba - you descend some stairs into a little alcove and it gives you the feeling of entering a secret space. My husband wanted some recommendations on what scotch to drink, and the bartender came to our table and was so informative. We ordered the pre-theater 3 course menu. The fish soup was so well balanced and delicious. I had mackerel which had wonderful crispy skin and my husband had an Asian styled salmon. Both were incredible. The warm chocolate cake for dessert was very good. I think Gamba is one of the best restaurants I have even eaten at. And I have eaten at a lot!

    Having read reviews I was expecting something special. Wrong. Friday night no atmospher, the restaurant itself feels more like doctors waiting room. The food whilst not being bad was just average, nothing stand out at all. The whole experience was.... average.

    Could not fault any course. If you like seafood you need to eat here. The ambience of the restaurant is great. If is not too large so you do not need to talk loud to be heard like in other establishments where the noise levels can be very high. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the service is great.

    My partner and I attended Gamba for his birthday on Saturday there for his birthday and it really is first class. The staff could not be more attentive and helpful, and the food was to die for. I would say this is one of the best restaurants in glasgow. Highly recommend to anyone who loves sea food.

    If you love fish, It's difficult to think of a restaurant which has a better choice of starters and mains (puddings a bit mundane as was the cheese selection). Layout of the restaurant an object lesson in how a small urban restaurant should feel - brilliantly designed. Staff superb - helpful and friendly without being too familiar. Do visit - it's wonderful!

    We first had dinner here not long after it first opened, it is still a restaurant that we return to when in Glasgow although it is a couple of years since the last occasion. The food and service were very good, and we loved the pre dinner bar area.

    My wife has to have a gluton free diet. Very often she feels awkward in the way restaurants cope with the problem. The Gamba was fantastic. The menu options were varied, the staff were very knowledgable about her needs and were fantastic. The restaurant has a very good ambience, it is comfortable with a good menu. The wine list is excellent. All in all this was one of the best fining experiences we have had for a long time.

    I'm not going to drone on about this.... In my honest opinion, this was a fantastic culinary experience from start to finish and would recommend this establishment to anyone who enjoys seafood.

    Outstanding dining experience once again. Never fails to deliver a great standard of food. Easily my most favourite place to dine in Glasgow. Waiting staff also add to the experience. If you have not been, you must go here.
