    Nice venue with attentive staff. Good drink & menu selection. Entrees: summer tart(disappointing)steak tartare(outstanding but served with soggy chips???) grilled zucchini (splendid)grilled octopus(v good). Mains were very good: steak, fish. So were the deserts. We had a nice dinner and the minor misses should be regarded as constructive criticism. I recommend the restaurant for a nice dinner and I would not hesitate to go again.

    Great atmosphere, & French Wine Waiter was great. Had friend from Germany bonding with him over French wines from his hometown. Offered great suggestions & guest was delighted. It was a 35 year reunion dinner for 7 people- wines/food/atmosphere/service was excellent. Kudos to Glass for offering excellent Australian Cuisine for a reasonable price on NYE. Many other providers took the opportunity to charge like wounded bulls on this date. Will certainly come again. Thank you staff & Glass!

    Really delicious food and great wine pairing. The scallops carpaccio was amazing, best dish of the meal. The caviar was served with small toast though when blinis were listed on the menu. We asked about this and the server said these were the blinis, but that’s not what was featured online. Caviar was great, but little toast was less satisfying. The lam and the duck were both delicious as well. Would try more seafood if we were to go again as the scallops were the best dish.

    Filets were not cooked to order but appeared to have been cooked before dinner service. Similarly crème brûlée was not prepared when ordered. I appreciate that the restaurant was open for Christmas dinner but the food was disappointing. It certainly didn’t merit an additional 10% holiday charge.

    Christmas lunch was not good value. I expected a magical experience on Xmas day but there was very little charm and vibrancy. The main snapper fillet was dry and the side small and stingy. Seafood platter disappointed because ice had melted into the prawns. Overall do not recommend this on Xmas day.
