   Inventive cuisine and individual service with wide range of excellent fresh seafood makes this a good destination for fishy foodies. As this was a Sunday there were a few empty tables but was still popular enough to give a light buzz. Sadly there were also empty choices on the menu as the chef only serves fresh ingredients and avoids waste as part of the sustainability agenda. However, they offered alternatives that were equally delicious. Coley with curry sauce and pickled mussels was great and the mango salsa went well with squid. As there wasn’t enough Basque cheesecake to go round they rustled up a new dessert of chocolate with whisky brittle on the house. That will be a hit on the new menu. Brioche rarebit with Morangie brie plus date syrup and caramelised walnuts was a fabulous melange of sweet, savoury crispness.

   We had a beautiful evening, we tried as much courses as we could in a tapas way, everything was delicious and very well balanced in tast. The four of us wanted to try all deserts and we have eaten them in a carousel way. Christopher was a very kind host, if you are in Glasgow go here!

   First visit to the new seafood restaurant, very happy with the location, food, staff service. Drinks menu has a nice selection of wine and cocktails. Our group tried most of the small plates, all were delicious, (Oysters, mussels, scallops, langoustine, trout). Desserts were good too. Nice outdoor seating area too, can't wait to go back!

    Genuine craft to the food and way it was plated. Service was excellent. Highlights were the Scallops with chilli, fennel and blood orange and the orzo and celeriac dish with truffle. The kelp martini also a treat. We’ll be back!

    Arrived at booking time,,short delay getting our table. Ordered drinks,waited 15/20 mins then had to go to bar to remind staff we were still waiting(to be told he was making drinks on his own).wrong drinks order arrive. Ordered 3 starters(3 diners),2 served. All food generally good but small portions. Service staff numbers need increasing when restaurant is busy. Once this happens I’m sure the customer experience will improve.

    Having read the reviews we expected it to be a great experience .... How wrong we were. We ordered two cocktails that eventually turned up. We ordered the oysters and they were lovely. We then went for the mussels, squid and coley dishes. The mussels sat on the pass for nearly ten minutes before being served to us cold. There was two tiny slices of bread on the side of the bowl, no butter and no broth in the bowl. This was sent back. A small bowl with one tiny squid tube arrived, also cold and sent back. The mussels re appeared piping hot having obviously been introduced to the microwave. We had no food and left hungry after paying for our drinks. It's obvious that it's just opened as it stood out that the team don't know each other yet. The chef appeared happy enough to stay quite and serve cold food rather than speak out to have his food served. The girl who served us was lovely and rushed off her feet as she appeared to be the only server in a busy restaurant. If the manager worked as much as he talked it might have aleveated her pressure. We won't return.

    Kelp's pre theatre menu is excellent value. There was a good range of dishes on offer, and each of them was well designed, tasty and offered something that little bit different. In particular, the orzo with celeriac was outstanding. Service was very friendly, and feedback was positively encouraged, which is great for a new venture. We were advised that the pre theatre menu was not being continued, which seems a shame. I hope this restaurant prospers, particularly from theatre clientele around the corner.

    Kelp was fantastic! The dishes which we ordered were superb enjoyed the Rhubarb oysters so much we ordered an extra two. We had six oysters to begin then four plates and two sides which was plenty for two. Looking forward to my next visit to try the other dishes on offer. The service was great very attentive staff.

    Having eaten at another new seafood restaurant last week (and been less than impressed) I was a little dubious of coming to Kelp However my fears soon diminished. Staff all very warm & friendly without being over eager. Generous portion on all courses, outside area looks wonderful for the summer when it comes. The pre theatre was ideal and good value too..The treacle tart was just the best We will be back. Would be ideal for a night at the theatre

    Staff seemed a bit preoccupied and inattentive at times. Possibly more interested in friends/family in the restaurant, than paying customers. Food was really delicious and drinks/cocktails were lovely. A bit confused over the music choice in a sustainable Scottish seafood restaurant. More in keeping with a Spanish/Mexican restaurant. Maybe could learn from Ardnamurchan across the road. Faultless food, like I said, although TINY main course portions.

    Oysters well priced but smothered in the cucumber and oil dressing. Put it on the side and let the diner choose how much to use please. Small plates idea is neat but quantity/price doesn't quite equate. Food was good though. Service was proficient and cheery. Wine choices pretty good and well priced.
