Glass House

LOVED IT! Food was delicious and great portions. Service was swift. All the walls are glass windows so its a bit cold inside in the winter but I can imagine its gorgeous in the summer when they open all the doors/windows!

great dining option for the restaurant week, every dish was extraordinary, and the best thing about it was that it had various choices rather than cliche course menu options. The only reason I'm taking off one star is the service; it took a long long time for our server to take our orders and the servers rarely checked the tables in the separate room.

Good place for groups. Typical gastro pub food. The clam chowder is pretty good and so is the burger.

Dine Out Boston offers a good opportunity to try a new restaurant. The dishes we tried were mediocre. Unfortunately, nothing makes them stand out.

Always GREAT! Food is always wonderful no matter what I order. GREAT service and nice atmosphere .

Love a night out after work at Glass House!

The service was some of the worst service i have ever experienced. We were never greeted by our server and every time we needed something it took at least 20 minutes for anyone to come to us.

Everything was Great!!!!!

Visited for the first time and liked the decor. Very contemporary design with steel and wood trims. Tall ceiling and lots of windows and glass. Space is divided though into two areas- an open bar and a closed-in dining room. The dining-room feels almost like a smoking lounge at the airport because you can see out through all the windows, but you have no sense of the energy from the bar where it is open. Food was great although lobster roll was overpriced at $30 considering it’s still a bar. Waitress was awesome. Not sure we’d make a conscious effort to revisit, but the food was indeed really good.

Menu seemed like an odd mix of options and server seemed to rush us, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. The food was overall good, though, and a great selection of draft beer.

Lovely environment— bar was very welcoming. Food was excellent

Overrated in every way. The food was mediocre, the menu was random.

Food was great, check was late.

We had a lovely family dinner - four adults and two kids. Our youngest member ordered from the children's menu and loved his pizza. Our 8 year old ordered from the regular menu and loved her meal.

The lobster roll is my favorite dish here

We had a very nice meal at the Glass House. My friend and I were first seated in an echoey larger room with several big tables, with large parties, right in the middle of the room. There were a number of other tables in a smaller room off to the side, so I asked if we could sit there instead. Once seated we were comfortable, and the atmosphere was more intimate and we could hold a conversation.
There were a lot of good options on the menu, but we both chose the charred octopus dinner. It was delicious. My plate arrived and it was rather cold, so I asked the waiter if it could be warmed up. They brought me a new one. We also had the roasted Brussel sprouts side, which had bacon and was very tasty. I had the "Pick Your Passion" cocktail, which is a concoction of gin and chartreuse, which was delicious.

Our waiter was great, he was friendly, and the service was excellent. I would recommend the glass house. If we had not spoken up about the location of our table, or the cold food, the experience would not have been so nice.

I've been to this restaurant many times, always had great service. This one occasion service was lacking, waited 10 mins before getting water and then rarely saw our server. During work lunch, need to keep the pace moving and get out w/in an hour or so - spent alot of timing looking for our server to get boxes and check.

Family dinner. Not crowded, cool atmosphere and decent for kids

Fantastic food, but took an hour to get it!

It was a Monday night business dinner. The glass house was quiet enough for a good conversation. Food was very good, a bit pricey for some entree. But food and wine were good and so was service.

Brought my family here for my birthday brunch, and love the atmosphere! The portions of each dish were odd, so I’d even that out more! The Spud Boat didn’t have any sides, for example, but the Mediterranean omelette had toast and potatoes. Coffee could be poured a bit more generously, too.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and loved our server! I’ll be back.

Anniversary

The mushroom melt is a win! Pair it with the Summer Thyme cocktail for a perfect meal.

Has become a consistently reliable go-to spot for business or social occasions.

We went to Glass House for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and the service was incredibly slow. Half the people liked their food and half didn't so I guess that's kind of a hit or a miss. Would not recommend this is a lunch spot during a workday.

The food was incredible. The service was not.

Excellent ambience. Excellent cocktails. Excellent service. Food was bad... made us wonder if we went on an off night. Would definitely go back for the outdoor patio and cocktails.

My guests from London really enjoyed our lunch. Thanks.

Work lunch.

Great food - esp the octopus (and the vegetable plates). Only drawback was the high noise level (a glass house reflects massively!) Had to sit outside to have conversation

We had a business dinner here, and the waiter was very observant of our group, and only asked for meals/drinks orders at appropriate times. It was much appreciated and we had an excellent experience!

Our waiter was giving us the message constantly that the place was going to close soon. We felt rushed and not welcome. We were there at 8 pm. When we asked for coffee at the end of our meal - the answer was "No, I've already closed the coffee maker."

I have been to the Glass House several times. Each time has been consistently good. The food is innovative and well-prepared. Service is excellent.

Drinks were poured light, but charged heavy. Entree was very good, but side was over cooked. Decaf coffee tasted like double espresso. Not a bad place, but I wouldn’t rush to go there again.

client lunch. good menu. great waiter. excellent food: I had the chowder and a salad. Would return

We had a great night at Glass House. It’s one of those rare city restaurants where you can eat outside and not be on the sidewalk of a major street. The food was fantastic. I had the lobster roll- which was overflowing with lobster meat. My husband had the steak which was incredibly tasty and perfectly done. All in all, a great meal & we look forward to going back.

Excellent food and service

Not as much of a foodie place as we hoped. It's a fun and energetic place for drinks, casual eats, and good food. Nothing wrong. Just not quite what we expected when it was listed as a seafood restaurant. That's not this restaurants theme and menu. I should have researched it more. It met our needs and I wouldn't hesitate to go back, but I won't seek this place unless I need a fun energetic place to take some friends for good ambiance, drinks, and the basics. Again, this is probably more on me than on them.

This place is a neighborhood gem. It was first visit for my wife and me, but it will not be our last. We arrived at 7pm on Sunday evening, an hour before they stop serving dinner (bar still open until 10pm). The staff could not have been more welcoming. The manager, Christian, and our server, Katrina (sp?), were warm, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind. For appetizers, we ordered Chicken Liver Mousse (with grain mustard, cornichons, crostini) and the Burrata (with fried green tomatoes, basil leaves, arugula, balsamic-fig reduction, green goddess dressing) and shared the Spicy Red Curry Shrimp entree (with coconut rice, carrots, cremini mushrooms, toasted macadamia nuts, Thai herbs). When we ordered the chicken liver mousse, Christian said it was the most neglected item on the menu. Undeservedly so – it was superb. So was the more popular burrata. The shrimp curry was extraordinary. I suppose if I were to make one criticism, it would be that, at $26, three shrimp seemed a bit, well, shrimpy. But the dish itself was first rate. Glass House has 22 beers on tap. I had Dogfish 90 minutes IPA. Very hoppy. Very happy. We'll be there again, and this time we will bring friends.

Went on a Sunday. It would have been good to have a lunch menu vs. only brunch until dinner.

The wait staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious!
