Until yesterday I was a Gamba virgin....don't know how I've lasted so long�! Fabulous in every way - food was amazing, truly delicious from the fig bread rolls, the chicken liver parfait, the grey sole with THAT tartare, THOSE rooster chips and the cherry and amaretto creme brûlée. So glad I waited .... but definitely coming back for more �. Thank you, chef and superb staff team �����

The food is simply amazing - by far the best restaurant I have eaten in

User

The best food and service in Glasgow. Amazing chunky lobster, great side dishes and a divine bottle of Godello. It couldn't be better.

User

So surprised how beautiful my meal was, as I'm really not into fish dishes. My husband and I were gifted a voucher so thought we'd give it a go. My smoked salmon starter was stunning and then my main was sea bream in a garlic butter with a crispy skin, delightful! Ny hubby chose lobster and I even tried that, so I'll be coming back to have that as my main sometime very soon! The staff were so pleasant and really helpful advising me on what to chose.

User

Smashing food, nice wine, staff very good, canapés were a nice wee touch- defo be back �

Myself and my partner had dinner this evening at Gamba and not only was the food great but the staff could not have been nicer. They really couldn’t do a better job and are a credit to the restaurant!
