The 2011/12 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2011) edition.

With only space for 40, diners at No.16 sit close together in a charmingly cosy arrangement inspiring a sense that you may have been let in on a very special secret. The à la carte offers local Scottish produce served with a French twist, while an ever popular set menu evolves in response to the seasons and the feedback from the small army of loyal regulars. Soft slices of perfectly poached pear are arranged in a delicate circle and topped with a rocquet salad peppered with soft pinches of blue cheese and crunchy pieces of walnut, making for a wonderfully balanced sweet-savoury starter. A moist and meaty main of slow-braised ox cheek works wonderfully with a butternut squash purée and red wine reduction. Moist thyme-scented gnocchi are enveloped in a cauliflower cream and livened by a scattering of rocquet and parmesan. A thin crumbly pastry case holds a moist treacle tart - the bitterness of poached kumquats cutting through the sticky-sweetness of the syrupy pudding.

• High point: Beautifully braised ox cheek
• Low point: Elevator style background music

After having read the previous reviews for this restaurant I have to say a lot has changed. They have one of the best pre-theatre menus in Glasgow, that never disappoints and is excellent value for money. I have been here several times over the last 2 years and have always come away well fed. They almost always have an excellent pork belly dish and many different types of fusion choices-I hate that word, but there is no other way to describe it!

I think No. Sixteen re-opened a few weeks ago - I'd give them a phone to see if the gift voucher is still valid.

I am dissapointed that the list has chosen to enter this review as No. Sixteen closed its doors towards the end of last year. Unfortunatly before my friend used the $50 gift voucher we had given her for a birthday gift!

Amazing food and staff extremely helpful efficient and discrete. Intimate but not claustrophobic. Refreshingy unpretentious for the west end. We booked a table for 7 people and as long as you arrive by 6.30 you are offered the pre theatre meal. £11.95 for 2 courses or £14.95 for 3 courses. Fantastic value and everything is cooked to perfection, fresh and from scratch. The fish cakes were bursting with huge chunks of fish, fennel soup a real delight. Flock to this place with confidence, you won't be disappointed.
