Bit disappointed to not give it a 5, I would have if it weren’t for the fact I went in specifically for a Sunday roast, but was not able to order one. I came in on time to be able to order one, but they stop taking orders for them at a certain point. I sat at the table for more than 30 minutes waiting for a server to notice me, and during that 30 minutes, the eligible time for ordering a Sunday roast had passed. I had never had one before and wanted to try one, but it wasn’t meant to be I suppose. I resigned myself to a steak and mash instead (I know, poor me), which was still good. Hopefully the servers start to be a little more proactive in attentiveness to patrons. I did also like the setting, vaulted ceilings, etc. Very nice. I would like to come back and give it another chance, hopefully I can make it in time for that roast.

WONDER at my classic food shots! This was at least a bottle of red in, so forgive me.Cant fault it. Everything I ate was great. Scallops to start, venison for mains.The guys having steaks all made appreciative grunting noises.Although, we pre ordered and there was some slight confusion and delays around who was having what. (But this may not have been the establishments fault. I blame the wine personally).The underworld Alstons calls home is atmospheric but also captures noise. Busy does that. Nothing to be done.It was a full house Friday night and the staff were on form keeping us watered and fed, no faults there.I'll revisit for lunch sometime as I've heard good things.

After ordering we waited a while before our meal arrived and when it did it was a total disappointment. Two of had turkey which was almost cold, dry and had a teaspoonful of sauce the so called brie mash also cold just tasted like supermarket ready made mash, the other member of our party had steak and totally burnt chips! that should never have left the kitchen. We should have sent it all back but we had waited so long we just made the best of it After paying the £150 bill we thought we would just go through to the bar to finish off our day yet another mistake. The barmen seemed to think it was beneath them to clear the tables and at £24 for three drinks that is the least you would expect them to do. No one waiting to be served, dirty tables everywhere, including ours and the two of them just stood looking at there phones shocking service again. We would not recommend this place and we will never be back.

Great little place that I walk by every day! Enter through central station and go down the steps. Underneath the arches - cozy but not cramped. Fab bar which I want to try next time. Don't miss the cocktails or the D-rump (Alston) special which was great value.

Went here as a random choice for a friend catchup lunch today, and loved it - Sunday roast was delicious, and great service and tasty cocktails too :) Sadly didn't have room for dessert in the end, hopefully next time :)

The food was good, esp the Cote du Bouef and the cheese board. But the service was spotty. We started off with one wait staff member who was quite attentive but then that person disappeared along with any table service. I asked three times for a refill on water before getting service. The wait staff who came to take our money seemed nice but not sure where he was most of the evening. It seemed we fell through the cracks due to shift changes for the wait staff.

Visited on a quiet weekday for lunch. It was a bit tricky to find the entrance as Google Maps pinned the restaurant on another side of Glasgow Central Station.The staff were very friendly, and the food was amazing!I loved my medium well D-rump, and the herby sauce recommended by the host was SUBLIME!The dark chocolate brownie dessert was equally brilliant. Balanced flavored and in a hearty portion.Thank you! I will definitely visit again.

Recommended by my taxi driver and I must say he was spot on! Everything was amazing! The food, the service, the atmosphere. It was my first meal in Glasgow this trip, and I’m planning on making it my last one, too.

Had a lovely lunch here on a Thursday in December with my work friend.We both picked from the lunch menu and both had the roast chicken with mash and haggis bon bon.It takes about 20 mins as is cooked fresh but totally worth it - so tasty. Chicken breat comes on the bone.Serve is also great, attentive but not overbearing. It was quietish at lunch with a couple of larger Christmas party tables but atmosphere was still nice.

Often overlooked due to its somewhat unusual Central Station location, it’s also underrated. There aren’t many great steak restaurants in Glasgow and Alston is certainly up there with the best.A somewhat quirky entrance leads you to a subterranean cellar venue with arches, marble and monochrome accents. Reminds me of a luxurious NY hotel or vintage gin bar.Arriving on a damp, dull and thoroughly dreich Sunday we took advantage of the fairly priced set menu (2 courses £25 / 3 courses £30) and were not disappointed.Portion size was ample and the beef was tender and rich. Vegetables all cooked perfectly and a decadent gravy pulling it all together and warming ones metaphorical cockles.Desserts were beautifully plated and rounded off a comfortable, competent meal. Having been before and had some fantastic steak (et vino) I can heartily recommend.
