About Table Twenty Eight
Table Twenty Eight is a restaurant and cocktail bar on Merchants Square in Glasgow, serving small and large plates from land, sea and air. The kitchen dry ages its steaks for 45 days and rotates guest cuts alongside options like Chateaubriand, served with sides and sauces. Starters include croquettes and a haggis scotch egg, while seafood dishes such as pan-fried cod with mussels and clams and smoked salmon recur on the menu. A smash burger comes with chips, and sandwiches are served the same way even when not noted on the menu. Sunday brings a roast of chicken or beef with bone marrow gravy, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, alongside a separate brunch menu. The lunch menu runs to one, two or three courses at a set price. Group bookings can arrange a cocktail brunch deal, and a 10% service charge is added to the bill.

Customer Review Summary
The burger draws the most repeated praise, described across multiple visits as fantastic, delicious, and huge in portion, often paired with crispy chips or fries. Close behind, the steaks stand out, with the Chateaubriand and a perfectly grilled steak both singled out as excellent value and melt-in-the-mouth. Seafood also earns notice, from a smoked salmon starter to pan-fried cod with mussels and clams, and the Sunday roast gets praise for its bone marrow gravy and vegetables. Cocktails and a brunch deal are highlighted as standouts for group bookings, and staff are repeatedly called attentive and accommodating. One diner, however, describes a significant service breakdown: starters delayed roughly forty minutes with vague explanations from a manager, no complimentary gesture offered despite an added service charge, leaving them unlikely to return. Another notes a birthday sticky toffee pudding that "wasn't the most edible," though they still appreciated the gesture. Most others report leaving full, satisfied, and planning to come back.

“The menu has a good variety for both seafood lovers and meat eaters, which is why I stuck with this place for a birthday dinner with friends. We ended up sticking to seafood anyways - everything was delicious and portions were nice and generous. The sticky toffee pudding which was served as my birthday surprise wasn't the most edible, but I still appreciated how nice the waiter and gesture was and the atmosphere was lovely.”

“Returned on 19Aug 2026, Brought my other friends here for lunch and all of us were very pleased with our food! The steak was of good quality and grilled to perfection, the chips were crunchy and tasty, smoked salmon starter was delightful, my friend couldn’t stop raving about his pan-fried cod cooked in creamy sauce with mussels and clams, while another friend licked clean his bowl of Thai green curry veggie served with rice. The table wine was decent and the Service was impeccable. Our total bill came up to £120+ included tax for 4 of us with 2 wines and coffee. Will be back soon. A friend recommended Table28 for our dinner gathering and our dinner turned out to be a great one! Attentive and accommodating server, although we waited a little longer than usual for our dinner, every single dish was well cooked and well presented. All of us were so happy with our scran! Portions were big, fresh, tasty and the price was reasonable. Definitely will come back! 👍🏼”

“Warm welcome and seated quickly, offered drinks while waiting for our friends to arrive. Ordering was straight forward, taken quickly and easily (or so it appeared). Restaurant wasn't overly busy, but had a few other patrons. Sadly, after 30 minutes or so, we hadn't gotten our starters, assume it was the manager who approached and apologised, who said there was an issue, and the starters were being redone and will be out in a few minutes, few minutes passed, no sign of our starters (bout 40 minutes after ordering them now), approached again to be told that they were being plated, but considering the wait, it would have been nice if we'd be offered a complimentary drink or desert at the end of our meal due to the delay. Afraid not, pretty poor customer service sadly. Food when it came out was really good. Starters of haggis scotch egg and the croquettes, with mains of mussels and lamb shank or shoulder (can't remember). I didn't ask for a discount, but if a mistake has been made in the service, it should be remedied ( and they added 10% service charge) Disappointed, and probably won't return.”

“The burger was delicious as was the dessert. They do a really reasonably priced lunch menu. £12-18 for one to three courses per person. We did 2 courses and a soft drink, it cost about £20 each including tip. Its quite rare these days to eat out in a pretty setting with friendly and attentive staff for that price. I'd go back and I'd recommend, you won't be disappointed.”
