Very relaxed atmosphere the decor is quite trendy and open, though we got the vibe that they wanted us to eat and leave quickly! The service was nice but felt forced and we were not able to try dessert as they shut the kitchen before we could order though the menu suggests to leave room for it.
The food even though not an extensive menu was SenSationaL! The halumi fingers, 6hour slow cooked lamb (Delicious) and the special of the day Mushroom Burger really great dishes!
The Glasshouse Hotel is big and fancy looking from the outside (situated on Gouger Street near the courts) and a little sparkly on the inside.
It was a really strange place! When we sat down, it actually felt like it was an upper class pub - that wasn't in a pub 'building' and had nice ornaments. It looked like we should have table service, but we ordered at the bar (totally fine, just confusing!). I got a rare steak & my partner bought the half duck cooked two ways with a side of roast carrots.
It didn't really bother me because we were just chatting & having a good time, but our dinner did seem to take a long time to come out & our side of roast carrot never came. We didn't mind as our mains filled us up - so we didn't follow them up - but we definitely took them off the bill at the end & the waiter was apologetic.
The steak was DELICIOUS (rare) with roasted onion & braised mushrooms. However the bernaise sauce didn't quite fit with the onion. I really enjoyed the meal & my partner seemed to enjoy his!
It seems to be a jazzed up pub, but I enjoyed my food!
Funky modern pub. Great wine list, and easy food. A great spot on Gouger Street. Lovely for lunch. Quick and friendly service. Handy for a relax after a bustle around the central markets!
Great time. Had a blast last time I was at the glasshouse for dinner. Had an amazing entrée of zucchini flowers followed by a perfectly cooked sirloin. Food was well price and presented beautifully. Provided table service which is rare for the price range they are in. Staff were great, paired wine with food and made an excellent cocktail for dessert. All in all a great experience.
Clean, conyrmporary venue, p.... Clean, contemporary venue, pub dishes nicely executed, good flavours and some quirky presentation (seasonal salads served in a jar). Nice champagnes (well priced) by the bottle and glass). Very friendly service. Happy to return for a value for money lunch.
