    The meal was delicious, from the cocktails to the entrees. Our app choice, the shrimp scampi flatbread, was savory, cheesy, and delish, and we especially loved the addition of hot red pepper. The cod dish was superb: the fish loins were perfectly prepared. The fish was fresh, juicy and succulent. And the outer crust was golden and perfectly crunchy. Accompanying vegetables, broccolini and tiny rainbow potatoes were all tasty and well prepared. Our server was also efficient and pleasant.

    We had a Restaurant Week meal. The food was delicious, and the portions were generous. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Our only complaint is the noise level.

    The dining area was not open which made the environment strange. Hostess and server were kind but didn’t seem enthusiastic for us to be there. We ordered drinks and food and felt rushed out. The space is beautiful but having the dining area closed off felt awkward and the people felt unmotivated.

    Exceptional service and amazing food. We had the salmon and the poke bowl, both dishes were expertly prepared and delicious. We tried the fall mocktail with the cinnamon lined rim and it was festive and tasty, perfect for a fall lunch!

    The pan-seared salmon is excellent. The balance of flavours between its sweet and spicy chili glaze, the sweetness of the coconut jasmine rice, and the zesty taste of garlicky shredded bok choy is very well done.

    Hi Fredric, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the pan-seared salmon! It’s always great to know our flavor combinations hit the mark. Thank you for your wonderful feedback; we hope to see you again soon for more delicious dishes!

    Visited Glass House for dine out and was very disappointed with the overall experience. First course sweet potato salad and duck poutine were the highlight. We were served our entrees while I still had almost half of my first course left to enjoy. I noticed this happen at the table next to me as well.

    Great dining experience for Restaurant Week. The food had great flavor and texture variety. And as for the space, though it's very open, sound didn't seem to travel very far and we still had a peaceful dinner.

    Beautiful setting with an outdoor space. Convenient parking. Service was excellent and the prices were acceptable. Food was fresh, but not special.
