    It is the service that distinguishes Glass House Tavern. The moment we were seated, our server, Eduardo, asked if we were headed to a show so he could expedite our order. When we said no, we had just come from a matinee, he invited us to relax and enjoy the evening, which we did. Eduardo and his supporting staff quickly brought the bread basket with soft butter, kept the water and drink glasses full, and cleared the plates as soon as we were done. Our entrées arrived hot and were quite good. Eduardo took time to answer questions and share information about various menu items. He and the other members of the wait staff make Glass House shine.

    Enjoyed the pre theatre 3 course dinner. Food was excellent and overall service was good however towards the end service was missed as the server knew we had a broadway show and had to rush to eat our dessert. After asking several times for it, it came out. The chocolate cake was delicious just wish we had more time to enjoy it.

    We told the waiter we had to be at a 7 pm Broadway Show. Seated at 5pm and had to put cash down and leave at 6:30 pm before our desert was served. Waiter had time to lean against the wall on his phone but did not ensure we could eat our entire one price meal.
