    Behind the Glass Curtain: An Exclusive Penfolds Wine Dinner at Glass Brasserie An evening of craftsmanship and heritage between two masters of their craft. WHEN | Wednesday 13th August TIME | 6.30pm arrival for a 7pm sit down WHERE | Glass Brasserie, Level 2, 488 George Street, Sydney For one night only, join Glass Brasserie Head Chef Natalie Murphy and Penfolds winemaker Shavaughn Wells for an unforgettable evening of fine wine and dining. On Wednesday 13th August, experience Chef Natalie Murphy’s signature approach to Australia’s finest seasonal produce — each dish thoughtfully paired with coveted Penfolds vintages sourced from vineyards across the globe. From the crisp elegance of a 2018 Reserve Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, it's cool-climate acidity dancing alongside the delicate sweetness of Southern Rock lobster tail, to the rich, marbled perfection of Rangers Valley wagyu striploin, elevated by Penfolds’ 2021 California Cabernet Shiraz bold notes, each course opens a seamless dialogue between plate and glass, crafted to awaken the palate and honour the artistry of pairing. A collaboration between two masters of their craft, the evening concludes with one of Penfolds’ most lauded vintages, the 2018 Grange SA Regional Blend served with a cloth-ashed cheddar from Maffra Cheese Co. Much like the art of cellaring fine wine or crafting heritage cheese, time reveals depth, character and brilliance, a fitting finale to a night where legacy takes centre stage. This is a rare and precious experience you won’t want to miss. We look forward to welcoming you for a celebration of craftsmanship, flavour, and timeless indulgence. #GlassBrasserie20Years

    Whilst on my previous visits to Glass Brasserie over 8 years and I am impressed with the food, value ,service and ambience. This time, the service is not my expectations. Usually after a meal, staff will ask about my experience with the food and offer any tea/coffee etc. This time the waitress never came but only to clear the table and it's almost total silence, as though everything is done. This is a sharp contrast to our previous experiences and it was felt by other diners together with me. I have to say I will still attend for dinner at Glass brasserie because the food was excellent. Hopefully, service can be achieved to previous standard.

    We had a great experience at Glass. The staff were all very professional, attentive and approachable with a special shout-out to Timmy for making our experience so enjoyable. The wine list is incredible and we were very happy with the wines recommended to us to compliment our menu choices. The food was amazing as well. The only slightly dissapointing thing was the portion size ofthe steak my wife ordered. On the plus side it was very good and cooked exactly how she wanted it. I had the charcoal yamba prawns which were amazing and a very generous portion. The sourdough, winter tart and halloumi were all excelent as was the eton mess we had for desert.

    We really enjoyed our meal at the Brasserie. In particular, the seating arrangements and the distance between tables allowed us to have a quiet conversation over dinner. The service was excellent - helpful but not intrusive. And the food was great, if a bit expensive

    Service staff were brilliant and very attentive without being instrusive which made a very beautiful night with my partner. Food was amazing right through all our choices, and will definitely come back to experience the rest of the menu. Chef Natalie has created an abundance of flavors that brought balance throughout the night. Well done and see you again very soon.

    A top restaurant should have a dessert menu, but these is either empty or non-existent, which is disappointing for The Glass Brasserie!!!!
