About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Charming
Good for groups

Glass House is a restaurant, bar and event space that serves as a modern day meeting house offering contemporary food and drink inspired by both American and international cuisine.

Glass House is located in Kendall Square, next to Charles River Canoe and Kayak and the Pilgrim Parking Garage.

Once the center of the nation’s glass-making industry, East Cambridge attracted the most accomplished artisans from across the globe and produced patents for the cutting edge glassworks of its day. Glass House is a nod to the neighborhood’s glass architecture, its inventive history, and its contemporary focus on discovery and exploration.

The staff did a great job accommodating my allergy restrictions. Unfortunately, the food was bland and hence hugely overpriced. The burger meat was chewy and had no flavor, the flatbread was equally mediocre - I wish I could give more positive feedback , because the location is great and the staff is nice, too..but given that there are so many better food options in Cambridge at the same price level, Glasshouse won’t be a preferred option anymore (their food quality was so much better before the pandemic!)

We were very impressed by the quality of the food. In particular the dessert, rustic mixed berry tart, is a must-have.

We visited this restaurant 3 years ago just before the pandemic. We were not impressed with the food for Dine Out Boston. We wanted to give them a 2nd chance 3 years later during Dine Out Boston. Unfortunately, we did not see any improvement. The foods were mediocre. Appetizers were really quickly served. The main dishes were served while we were still eating the appetizer. Are their regular dishes better than the dishes for Dine Out Boston? Some dishes for Dine Our Boston are still served regularly (e.g., chicken breast, risotto, steak frites).

Hi! Thank you for visiting us during Dine Out. We wish your experience could have been better, but appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It’s important for us know how we can better serve our customers and your comments will be shared with the team.

We went to the Glass House for restaurant week. The servers were outstanding, and the food was delicious. The only drawback, and I had wondered about this before we went because of the restaurant name, is the noise level. It approaches deafening. We intend to go back to see if there is a quieter time.

Hi Paul, It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your meal and the service. Apologies for the noise level. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Your feedback will be shared with the entire management team. We hope you are able to visit us again soon.
