   Glass House was recommended by friends who’ve been many times in the past, so we had high expectations. Sadly, our experience fell short. We shared the tuna tartar as an appetizer and it desperately needed seasoning. We ended up adding salt and pepper in an attempt to liven up and otherwise bland and flavourless dish. To add insult to injury, the crackers they served with it included digestive cookies…a sweet cookie with a bland tuna tartar. You can imagine our dismay. We both ordered the shrimp fettuccine as our main. The portion size was perfect…almost more than I needed. The pasta was freshly made and the shrimp were plentiful - although overcooked and somewhat chewy. The sauce had some decent flavour but it was sparse and left the overall dish short on seasoning. The service was neither good nor bad. So nothing to boast or complain about in that regard. On our way out, we did notice the food and ambiance in the “tavern” section was much livelier and the food looked like it came from a different menu. If I go back, I’ll definitely try the bar seating next time. But given the variety and choices available in the theatre district, I probably won’t go back.

   Reliable neighborhood gem. It's an easy way to eat before or after the theatre. Varied menu and the food is always at least good. sometimes very good.

   Eli, the manager, was just amazing! He was very helpful in finding a great table, brought our daughter and birthday drink and even brought one to our non-birthday daughter just so she wouldn't feel left out. Server was great and so was the food. We were upstairs and the noise level was probably the lowest of the restaurant in that location.

   My waitress who lives in the Bronx was very friendly and gave me great service. I will tell you that the Cajun crabcake was extraordinary.. The duck breast was too salty, but the Zepollis for dessert were divine.

    Service was terrible, we had to beg to order and ask multiple times for anything else we needed. Seemed ridiculous, food was fine. Nothing exceptional
