This is the second time we have dined here. We had an excellent meal, all dishes very well presented and very enjoyable.
Service was generally fine but not quite at the level to be expected at a restaurant of this quality. Serving staff seemed to be rushed and a bit distracted, not sure if this was because of a large group who sat down for their meal about 30 minutes after we started.
However, this does not take anything away from the overall quality of the meal and I would happily return again when in the city.
Well to be honest THEY HAVE BEZRE hehehe enough said. They have special tartar tomato sauce with some sweet chilli which makes it More scotich hehe. Love everythin in it from the food and the ambient.
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.
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.
Fantastic restaurant. Quite pricey but really worth it for a special occasion
Excellent fish restaurant. Cosy, romantic and hidden atmosphere. Service is very good with non intrusive staff.
Set menu is one to head for.
Luxurious fine dining experience in Glasgow. The food was great, and the service fantastic. However, be ready to spend a pretty penny, we spent over 350 pounds for 7 people. We thought that Halibut and the Monk Fish were fantastic, although we would have preferred a tad more Halibut on our dish considering the high price tag. Overall a good experience.
My partner and I were at Gamba last night…and WOW!! Seafood is my favorite cuisine and Gamba ticked all the boxes and more..food and service was really outstanding
We cannot wait to go back ❤️…
P.s sticky toffee pudding is to die for!
Loved the food. Really tasty fish soup to start. Sea bream was excellent. Good choice of wines to accompany our meal. Pleasant setting and friendly staff. Keen to get back again soon.
If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, cozy place for dinner you should visit the Gamba restaurant. There is a great atmosphere, excellent service and incredibly tasty dishes. It's not just food - it's works of art, it's culinary design. And Chef Derek is an artist in the kitchen. My birthday was wonderful here.
Lovely quaint, little restaurant, I was there for lunch, very tastey food, which was well presented. I had food off the set menu & glass of house white included in the price. Waiters couldn't do enough, in fact went out of their way to get us gluten free bread rolls as my friend was on special diet. Will definitely be back. Thoroughly delicious food.
My favourite restaurant in Glasgow for a treat or occasion. Is a fine dining Scottish Seafood restaurant. Would recommend I'd you love fish and don't mind spending a little more for a special treat.
We went to Gamba for the first time for my wife's birthday as her favourite is seafood, personally I'd rather not, however I was bowled over with the tastes and experience.
The fish soup to start is lush, all of the dishes were sublime and well worth the price.
Whatever the occasion, Gamba is a delight...
Wonderful staff, excellent service, fantastic menu, lovely decor and ambiance.
We will absolutely be visiting again.
Highly recommended!!
It's no surprise that Gamba's food, service and atmosphere are all excellent. My wife and I have visited a number of times and have always been really impressed. Our visit last week was no different. If you enjoy seafood and really want to treat yourself to a first rate fine dining experience, then Gamba is the place to go. We had oysters to start which were incredible and prepared simply and beautifully. The fish soup with prawn dumplings was outstanding and the mains were even better. My wife had lobster and I had surf and turf which was a fillet of beef cooked PERFECTLY with king prawns, a scallop and truffle mash potato. Highly recommended.
The service was impeccable, warm, friendly and professional. The food was beautiful starting with the complimentary warm fig bread roll. My starter watermelon, feta and prawns in a citrus and fennel dressing worked so well, a flavour explosion!! My main blackened cod in teriyaki sauce, sesame rice and tenderstem broccoli was cooked to perfection. Cheese board and Port to finish, superb. Perfectly chilled wine to compliment the meal. It is not cheap but the food is cooked with passion and care and if you love fish you will love this consistently brilliant restaurant.
A must go to Seafood Restaurant in Glasgow city centre. Food was amazing, very very tasty and melted in the mouth. Fantastic menu. Staff very friendly, professional and attentive from the minute you walk in until you leave. Beautifully decorated too. Remember to buy their cookbook signed by their amazing chef. Highly recommended for a celebration of seafood culinary excellence. Thank you to all the staff and the chef for making our 33rd anniversary meal a very special one to remember. We will be back.
Amazing, fish soup was the best I've tasted. Sole meuniere was unbelievable too
Amazing food and amazing service! We went there with two young kids and the chef kindly did the best fish
goujons ever. They were light and soft. The kids loved it. This could have gone pretty wrong and could possibly ruin our evening, dealing with grumpy kids who are not happy with the food, but it turned out to be a very pleasant evening and we all enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you Gamba team!
The seafood in Scotland is very good but Jamba was over the top great. Friendly and helpful service from the entire staff. One of the better wine lists in Glasgow
Another good visit! Always like to stop in for a visit when I am in Glasgow, but had not been here for a while due to the pandemic. Recent repeat visits at other venues had sometimes been disappointing but Gamba did not fail to impress - well done all! Ambiance has not changed. Menu was spot on, prep & presentation excellent, as was the service. If you are after an early meal, the pre theatre menu is particularly good value. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal and so happy to have had another delightful repeat visit. As before, highly recommended and look forward to returning.
If you’re looking for something a bit special, this is the place to come. Almost exclusively seafood dining, really good range of dishes, along with a decent wine list to match. Feels very informal, with personal service. Can’t recommend it enough
Lovely cozy seafood restaurant, amazing food, just a shame some starters and mains were sold out by 7pm, service was slow at times, overall a lovely experience and would recommend a bit of luxury.
Super fresh ingredients with the chef preparing well dishes. Style could be more polished and refined finish for the pricing.
Good champagne and wine section to accompany the dishes.
We had drinks before getting seated. It would have been nice to have selection of nibbles to order as having wines with empty stomach is not great.
Overall an ok experience.
Exceptional seafood in the center of Glasgow. The seafood soup was delicious, thickened with crab meat (no gluten!) and the grilled fish was beyond crispy and fresh. Highly recommend the Gamba fries.
