Glasshouse Kitchen

The Glass House is not merely a restaurant; it is a symphony of service and sophisticated flavors that deserves every single one of these five stars. From the moment we walked in, the experience was set apart by the superb service and the genuinely personable staff. Every member of the team anticipated our needs without being intrusive, creating an atmosphere of warmth and exclusive comfort. Erin is a rock star, truly next level. She took care of us like we were family. The culinary offerings were, quite simply, perfection. We started with the Wagyu Tataki, a dish that was buttery, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and perfectly seasoned, leaving a clean, rich flavor that prepared the palate for the next course. The subsequent Truffle Gnocchi was an absolute revelation. The gnocchi themselves were impossibly light and pillowy, coated in a decadent, deeply aromatic truffle sauce that was earthy, balanced, and utterly addictive. Saving the best for last, The Glass House’s commitment to excellence shines through their in-house bakery. The desserts are world-class. The Basque Cheesecake was the perfect blend of creamy richness and caramelized, bittersweet crust—a masterclass in texture and flavor. The Pear Palette was a delicate, artistic creation that was as visually stunning as it was delicious, offering a light, refreshing, and beautifully composed end to the meal. The Glass House is a true gem. For an unforgettable evening of impeccable dining, breathtaking desserts, and truly excellent, personable service, look no further. We will absolutely be returning.

Some of the best appetizers I have seen in a while in Durham, with standout hits like the truffle gnocchi and the burrata really stealing the show. A great modern spot with delicious food and fresh ingredients. The giant steak is massive, but spectacular.

Had an exquisite and memorable meal at Glasshouse. The chef does an amazing job curating the menu and sourcing fresh and seasonal ingredients. Absolutely loved every dish we ordered...the pork belly, lamb lollipops appetizer, steak, and salmon. Drinks are creatively delicious as well. Interior decor and service were spot on...would definitely go back again

The menu changes seasonally to offer the freshest ingredients. The selections are creative and thoughtful with interesting ingredients and pairings. The cocktails are unique and a can't miss. There are indoor and outdoor seating options as well as event space. While the food, desserts, and cocktails were all special treats, the star of our visit was our waiter, Denzel. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He offered excellent recommendations and made us feel welcome. Our great evening was made even better by his professionalism and kindness.

Dinner last night was amazing, as usual. Have visited Glasshouse Kitchen several times, and have never been disappointed! My friends and I love the seasonal menu options, the drinks are always well crafted, and not matter what we try, it is delicious.

My daughter's birthday dinner was at this beautiful restaurant. Our server was Denzel Washington and you will have to go to the Glasshouse to hear the story behind the name. I ordered the flank steak and potato salad and it was good. The salmon/crab dip was good but you could only taste the salmon and no crab. My daughter ordered the king crab pizza and she said it was good. Someone else ordered the lamb pops and she said it was good. It was storming before we could leave on 7/19/2025 and they were preparing to close. The lighting was terrifying and Kristen came over to simply check on us and told us no rush to leave. She would rather we be safe. She even took the time to take our picture. I recommend this restaurant because the food was great and the customer service was too.

I wanted to write this review to express how deeply grateful I am for all the work Glasshouse Kitchen did to plan and execute an amazing wedding for me and my husband! The night was absolutely perfect, and exactly what I was envisioning, down to every detail. The venue looked GORGEOUS (even more so than it normally does, which I didn't even think was possible). The table layout and settings were beautiful, and the team did such an excellent job arranging the flowers and candles. The ceremony space was also wonderful and felt so intimate, so my husband and I were really able to enjoy our vows with our family and friends. Cocktail hour was fantastic, with the exact spread of food to feel elegant and fun. The dinner was INCREDIBLE. I was so happy with the food - it was probably some of the best food I have ever had regardless of circumstance, and all of my friends told me they had never had better food at a wedding before. And the drinks....they were SO GOOD! They were fun and unique and imaginative. The waitstaff also ran everything so smoothly - they were so friendly, and there were never any lines, and it all just seemed so effortless (though I know of course it wasn't!). The event coordinator, Emily, also set the flow of events perfectly so everything transitioned seamlessly, and she did an incredible job planning and running the event so that I didn't have to worry about any details (which was such an amazing gift). Overall, our wedding was a magical day and my husband and I feel so lucky that we got to work the Glasshouse team. It was the wedding of our dreams!

The exquisite flavors danced on my palate, a testament to the chef's creativity. Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with freshness. The attentive staff anticipated every need, ensuring a seamless dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. We highly recommend this exceptional establishment to anyone seeking a truly remarkable culinary journey.

The service was outstanding, remarkable, Destiny, our server, went out of her way to serve us and make us happy. The food was delicious, we ordered the pizza Rangoon which had a very delicate flavor. My wine was a Slovenian orange, which it surprised me by the deep flavor. They showed efforts to make sure we were satisfied, from the bar tender all the way to the chef. Great experience!

Our anniversary fell on a Monday this year, so we were trying to find somewhere nice to go for lunch. So many places in the area are closed on Monday so it took a little bit of research but I came across Glasshouse Kitchen. This spot is not something you'd see from the road in RTP, as it's hidden back in one of the many office complex areas. I was able to easily make a reservation online. Food was all delicious - we split a sandwich and pizza. Our server Denzel was great! He offered us champagne or a dessert for our anniversary. We opted for the chocolate coconut cake and it was so good! So glad I came across this spot!

This is long overdue came here for a wedding reception and everything was fantastic. They opted in for the brunch service. Everything came out perfect and they kept food and drinks flowing ! We had such an incredible experience and the restaurant was beautiful! Five stars all around ! Thank you so much !!

Glasshouse kitchen is a bit spendy, but the care, consideration, and ingredients used in preparing their dishes is of such high quality it's worth it. The menu has many unique options that are executed so well. We've tried many of their dishes and appetizers with no misses, all very delicious. We will definitely be back.

Wow from the moment we entered to the moment we left! We were greeted and seated quickly. The wait staff was attentive and helpful when making mocktail selections and food choices. We were mesmerized by the fierce winds outside the restaurant because of the tall and surrounding windows! Somewhat surprised that even though I mentioned we were celebrating a birthday that we didn't receive a special birthday dessert... Thanks for a memorable birthday!

This was a really beautiful place with a quaint, cool vibe. Parking was fairly easy as there is a larger parking lot outside of the building. From the hostess to our waiter, everyone was great. We also enjoyed our food. I had a mocktail with beets (don't remember which one) and salmon for my main course. Definitely another hidden gem in the RDU. I'm excited to go back and try other menu items!

We could only get appetizers(small plates and pizza) because at 7:45 on a Friday night they were sold out of every Dinner feature, except the fish. This was really surprising because were sat immediately without a reservation, and the restaurant was only half full. The service was great and they did apologized for being out of food. The restaurant is very nice with a great ambiance. The food was good, not great. I was just really disappointed with such limited menu items at what I would consider early on a Friday night. Not sure if we will return.

We had fabulous lamb lollipops and curried salmon, and the basque cheesecake was phenomenal. The service was great as well. And, we took advantage of the half-price bottles of wine on Friday nights. We will be back! Glasshouse is a gem! Great food, nice wine options, and inventive cocktails in a beautiful atmosphere.

5 Star overall experience. The best restaurant in the triangle. Chef Kyle is a culinary artist, a flavor magician and a great guy. Greg, the bar manager is a great collaborator with the chef and creative mixologist. Tsega and Rylan were fantastic, knowledgeable and personable servers. The glass and green room have perfect lighting and offer a sense of intimacy. You must experience Glasshouse unless you are into depravation of excellence.

Super close to hotels and corporate offices which makes it very convenient for lunches and dinners right after a meeting! I loved the high ceiling with plants hanging down and it had a very open and airy feel to the whole place. It's like you're walking into a greenhouse for a fancy meal. Everything is so fresh and organic. I believe it does have a farm to table concept. We ordered a bunch of dishes and drinks which had the best presentation. The best dish was the lobster pizza and I can't stop thinking about it to this day! I think I ate it too fast to even take a picture. Lovely and friendly service too!

I went with my husband on his birthday for a dinner. The atmosphere is quite cool, with lots of natural light and interesting design elements. The service was good, our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu. She did miss a substitution, but the mistake was quickly addressed. Food was lovely. Complimentary prosecco offered for his birthday was a nice touch!

Four of us had dinner on a beautiful Friday night at Glasshouse Kitchen. We had reservations for 6:30, but were able to be seated a little early. Diane R. was our server and she was absolutely excellent. She knew the menu well and was able to answer any and all questions we had with expertise. We all ordered something different from their ever changing menu. I ordered the duck carbonara and the local greens salad. I was presently surprised how delicious my food was. Honestly, I didn't enjoy the food the first time I came to Glasshouse about a year and a half ago, so I was hesitant this time. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the cocktails were great! I was so happy with everything! I'll definitely be back and looking forward now if someone suggests Glasshouse, as my experience this time was 10 times better than my first. The service was great, thank you Diane R.

Ambience: top notch and definitely a place to go to for a first date, Sunday brunch, girls/guys day! Service: was great! Our waitress was so helpful and attentive. Food: ok and in the point of more hype than good. The fried chicken was over battered and greasy. It makes me wonder if the oil it was fried in was old. The biscuit was dry but had a nice crust on top. The crab cake Benedict was okay as well. The crab cake is more breading than crab. The hollandaise was creamy and tangy. And the poached egg was cooked perfectly. The drink that I got was not to my taste. But my husband like it. It was bitter sweet with basil. Heavy on the basil taste.

We found out about this restaurant through numerous influencers on Instagram. We were in the area and decided to give it a try. We made reservations the day of and we were immediately seated upon arrival. The wine list was a little limited but I was able to find something I liked. Our food arrived in a decent about of time and everything was really good. My trout was cooked to perfection and my daughter enjoyed her short rib pizza. Overall we had a pleasant experience here. I'd definitely return. My only complaint is the lack of wine choices...other than that everything was good.

It started off rocky but the manager Kristine turned it around! We arrived on time and the hostess tried to sit us at the bar...oh no that's not what I reserved. The manager gave us free champagne to celebrate the graduate and two free desserts. She also secured us a seat outdoor. The weather was perfect to sit outside. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered the salmon and crab dip and it was absolutely scrumptious. We also had oysters and they were OK. For my main dish, I decided to go with a salmon curry and for the price my salmon was really small and dry. The green curry sauce was absolutely delicious. For the dessert, we decided to try their olive oil cake and it was not for me. I'm not going to complain because it was free. This restaurant is absolutely stunning and offers free parking indoor and outdoor seating. I will definitely come back to visit again because the waitress did tell me that their menu is seasonal and it's always changing.

Glasshouse Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Durham, so it only made sense to come here for my solo birthday dinner. They treated me so well and the food was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. The chef even came out to speak and brought this delicious burrata and orange wine. It was a great evening. Thank you for making my birthday dinner extra special.

The restaurant decor is beautiful inside and out. The food is amazing. Our drinks were delicious and the server was so kind to walk us through the menu.

We went for brunch on a Sunday at 1pm. My fiance recommended this restaurant, after having a nice dinner here. The brunch did not live up to the expectations she set. We kept our meal simple with the curried cauliflower pizza and the shakshuka verde. The curried cauliflower pizza was quite good. we ended up splitting it half and half. The peppers on the pizza were the star, and the cauliflower was more like the accent. The crust was crispy on the bottom and chewy throughout the rest like a good woodfired pizza. The shakshuka verde was inedible, which is why we split the pizza. It was a bowl of unflavored tomatillo sauce. 2 eggs and really nothing else in the way of the ingredients, that we could taste. the bread that came with it didn't add much to the dish. The restaurant decor is nice and the service at the bar was good. They add a kitchen appreciation fee, which is great if you appreciate the food the kitchen sent out.

3 friends & I went here for dinner last night & had a fabulous time. The appetizers & drinks were delicious, we all loved our entrees ( I had the bolognese bianco, scrumptious!), & our server Tabby was attentive, helpful, & vivacious. Also the bottles of wine were half off & you could have a glass or 2 & take the remainder home which was a great deal. It was my 1st time there but definitely won't be my last!

Love the ambiance here. The glass windows and the natural light make the place so open. The shakshuka was amazing! It had a good amount of spice and flavor to it. The drinks were very well made as well. I enjoyed the coffee liquor drink they had as the special. The dessert was made of chocolate mouse, marshmallow and graham crackers. It was a little too sweet for my liking. I hope to come back and try the other vegetarian options!

If I could give Glasshouse more than five stars, I would. From the time our group sat down until we left, it was nothing but amazing! We pre-ordered several bottles and food, so the staff was ready for us! We started out with a champagne toast. Our waiters were super generous with our pours! The champagne went down way too well, so I am glad that several pipping hot pizzas and French fries were served. There was a mix of their curry, pepperoni, and margherita; my favorite was their curry. The curry was a little on the spicy side, but it was so worth the heat! Topped with cauliflower, green and red peppers, and a light sauce, each bite had such an amazing flavor! Also, the shoe string French fries were absolutely delicious. They had such a great crunch to them and really did not need ketchup--a plus in my book! A red and white wine were brought out, and I went with their Domaine Louis Moreau a Chardonnay from Petit Chablis, France. It was slightly oaky, crisp, and had an easy finish. Our servers were awesome! They continually checked on us and ginuely wanted to make sure our night was awesome, which it was! And I would come back for another awesome night also because of the lovely decor. It reminded me of being in a mini greenhouse, which went so well with the greenhouses surrounding them! I can see myself coming here for a glass and a bite after work. Put Glasshouse on your must visit list!

Food was pretty good, however the waitress asked us if we wanting still or sparkling water. When we got the bill, we saw we were charged for WATER. what restaurant does that?! We will definitely never ever go back just because of that. We saw other tables have pitchers of water but we were never offered that or we thought it was the same thing. It was our first time there and maybe they did that on purpose. $12 for water if more than our appetizers or drink

Glasshouse is an enigma to me. It should be good. The ambiance is exquisite, with massive windows and greenery. But the food is distinctly average--minimal flavor. The menu feels commercialized and does not match the restaurant's "feel." We've visited a couple times, each time hoping that we were wrong the last time. But we're always left wanting more.

I took my family here to celebrate my sisters birthday, and I am so glad this was our selection! The environment is truly one of kind and opulent. We shared several small plants, pizzas, and a large main meant to share for 4+ people. It was more than enough food and we loved the diversity of options! We thought the food was phenomenal! We would definitely return for special occasions!

Service was extremely slow, took about 45 min just to get our food. Host was not great either. Told us he would come get us in 5 min and never did. What a 15 min wait for the bar that had lots of open seats and 45 min wait for a table even though there was plenty of those too. Order fried chicken sandwich, which wasn't cooked. So I sent it back and got a side salad as a meal. Ordered a turkey deli sandwich with fries. Fries were chewy. I don't know how you make chewy fries, but they can. Bread was toasted but hurt your mouth when you bit it. Ordered a burger and salad. That came out good. Valet parking was free and very nice to chat with. Overall, not going back even though it has a nice setting.

The food here was amazing and the ambiance was nice. But for the price you really don't get much food.

Came here again for a business lunch. I ordered the rooted salad. My friend got the margarita. She was warned it didn't have a red sauce. When she asked if she could have it she was told no. It was a pesto sauce. When the pizza came, there were 4 sprigs of basil and no pesto. I had the root salad which was supposed to have quinoa. It cost $14 for maybe 1/4 cup hummus, a few root veggies, a few sprigs of arugula and two beet chips. No quinoa to be found. Expensive for a small amount of food. Won't be back.

What an amazing/cool setting for this restaurant I pulled in and I thought why the heck are we eating in the corporate environment but that was just the beginning of its amazement. It's in a agricultural research area greenhouses beautiful buildings I noticed that they did have free valet but I chose to park it was a nice walk. The ambiance is outstanding high ceilings obviously a great look with the glass building was there on a business lunch so I didn't partake in the drink menu but I did peruse it it looked fun. Staff was great and it was very busy and they got a seated right away without reservations. The menu was a great size not too big not too small and quite simple I had the fusilli pasta again simple but outstanding and just the right portion my dining companions had the burger which looked amazing with the double Patty and the chicken sandwich was simply gorgeous looking everyone loved their food. Can staff was great ambiance was great I highly recommend especially if you have time to enjoy the setting and have a cocktail.

Glasshouse Kitchen is located in a neat area in RTP. My party and I dined in for brunch and had a good experience at the bar. We started off with a bottle for mimosas which is a must for brunch. For food it was the salmon belly benedict of my mom, the shakshuka for my husband and the chicken biscuit for me. The food and service were both good. We did not have a reservation but I recommend one.

We had Sunday brunch at Glasshouse Kitchen and enjoyed it. This is a relatively-new New American restaurant that opened in August 2022 at the Alexandria Center for AgTech in Research Triangle Park (the actual park, not the metro area). My wife found this place on Yelp and one of our dining companions had it on his list of places to try after seeing it on Instagram. The restaurant itself, inside and out, and the food and drink are Instagrammable. To me, it seems like that's what the owners had in mind when they conceptualized this place. Fortunately, I'm happy to report that this place isn't all just for show -- the food, drink, and service were good. My only gripe is I think it's a bit overpriced, and I'm rarely one to complain about prices when it comes to restaurants. I'm all for spending good money on good food, but here, my wife and I just didn't think it was fully worth it. That said, Glasshouse Kitchen's vibe does make up somewhat for its shortcomings in food and drink value. I give this place 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. The AgTech campus is nice. It's basically an office park. The buildings look modern and high-tech, befitting of RTP. There are research greenhouses nearby and Glasshouse Kitchen matches the theme with interior decor featuring both real and fake plants, floor to ceiling. The moss walls are made of live moss. Over the past few years, my wife and I have noticed a trend of moss walls and suspended or elevated plants used to decorate restaurant dining rooms and bars. Glasshouse Kitchen is the first we've encountered to utilize this style in the Triangle. The dining room and bar have vaulted ceilings with large, floral light fixtures and are surrounded by tall glass planes, hence the name "Glasshouse." The furniture is chic. This place is definitely trendy. Free self-parking is available next to the building. Plenty of spots were available during our 1-3pm visit, but it was a Sunday. On weekdays, they have complimentary valet for lunch. If the adjacent lot is full, you can park for free behind the other big building. Reservations are recommended. You can book them via Resy: https://resy.com/cities/rdu/glasshouse-kitchen. During our brunch visit, the menu had eight small plate options (priced at $12-24 each), four pizzas ($18-20 each), six large plates ($14-29 each), and five brunch cocktails ($10-14 each + $32 build-your-own mimosa). The regular bar/drink menu was available too. Here's what four of us shared: Cocktails * Glasshouse Bloody Marys ($11 each) x3 - proprietary blend, tomato, dill, spices (this was a special brunch cocktail) * Honey Baby Child ($18) - Four Roses Bourbon, honey, lemon, mint Small Plates * Avocado Toast ($12) x2 - preserved lemon, pickled ginger, furikake, polenta focaccia * Smoked Fish Dip ($14) - golden tilefish, creme fraiche, herbs, polenta focaccia * NC Fried Oysters ($16) - kimchi, cilantro aioli * Pastry Platter ($17) - trio of house pastries; for us, it was apple cake, homemade biscuits and jam, kringle with almond and brown sugar * Extra Kringle with Almond and Brown Sugar ($4) Pizza * Salumi Pizza ($20) - cured meats, red sauce, hot honey Large Plates * Turkish Eggs ($19) - green garlic yogurt, summer vegetables, dukkah oil, poached eggs, naan Overall, we enjoyed everything. The only thing we were underwhelmed with was the Turkish Eggs. It was a little underseasoned and bland. The summer vegetables consisted of cabbage, cauliflower, and zucchini. They would've been better if they had more char on them. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, however. The Bloody Marys were tasty and refreshing. My wife loved the spice mix, but wished the tomato juice was more concentrated. We both really liked the celery and olive garnish. The Avocado Toast and Pastry Platter were both overpriced. The portions were small. Again, something I don't normally point out, but felt the need to here. The focaccia was good and the avocados were ripe. There was too much ginger, though. The pastries were delicious. My wife liked the apple cake the best while at least two of us liked the kringle the best. We enjoyed the kringle so much that we ordered an extra one separately. It was delectable, but tiny. My wife liked the chewy apple pieces in the middle of the apple cake. The Smoked Fish Dip was flavorful, filled with umami. Again, the focaccia was good. The NC Fried Oysters were probably my favorite thing. The batter was light, crispy, and well-seasoned. The oysters were fresh not fishy, tender, and juicy. The kimchi paired and balanced everything out nicely. The Salumi Pizza was solid. I viewed it as Glasshouse Kitchen's take on a classic pepperoni pizza. The crust could have been thinner, but generally the dough and toppings were high quality. Our server was Shaniyah and she did a good job. A manager came to check on us towards the end of our meal. All of the staff was nice, from the hostess to the food runners.

I liked the drinks here, service was good! Enjoyed the burrata, fresh and creamy. I shared the lobster pizza with my colleague and it was okay!! My colleagues did enjoy the food here and multiple rounds of cocktails. This place is very pretty, high ceilings with lot of greens. I can see this being a nice date night but I was here for a work dinner!

Tried this place on a Saturday for brunch. Started of with the mocktails that were delicious and aesthetically so cute ! For lunch I got the Margherita pizza which I must say had a little too much sauce for me compared to the cheese ratio. We also tried the meat pizza and it super good !! The servers were very friendly and welcoming and the overall restaurant is so nice !

absolutely fabulous - loved it all. Great food and great service and ambience. Definitely coming back again if I am in the area. Regards from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Good food but the prices are outrageous especially for lunch. $37 for a salad and pizza at lunch is very high for our area. The Caesar salad would be better with croutons instead of breadcrumbs. Unpleasant texture, messy, hard to eat, and doesn't add anything to the dish. Also, $14 for a salad of that size and type is crazy. The lamb pizza was disappointing. Not sure red sauce is the right choice for that flavor combination. Final note, I tried calling the restaurant about my order a couple of times and no one answered. The voicemail greeting is inaudible even at full volume. When I mentioned it to the staff when I picked up my order, the host said "I'll tell them." Who? Clearly did not intend to do anything with that info

Dined here with coworkers and enjoyed the Salumi pizza. Several people had the Margherita pizza and it looked amazing. This place has good cocktails with a nice ambiance. It was a little pricey but convenient if you work in RTP.

Pretty good. We had a great server. The place was packed a lunch time. Turns out. When it's packed the noise level is through the roof. Very overwhelming. The food was good. I got the salad with a portion of fish which was tasty. The tile fish was moist, flaky with a nice crisp exterior, well seasoned. The salad was good and the goat cheese whip was fluffy and divine. The burger was enormous and the side of fries were quite crisp. The ketchup tasted as if it were home made. Dessert menu was small but has appetizing options unfortunately we were too full to try them. Overall good but the noise level was bothersome.

The ambiance is definitely amazing here! Tons of greenery and flowing light fixtures. A nice combo of standard tables, high top tables, bar and patio. The service was wonderful- from the host at the door to the server. The food was very creative and interesting! The bone marrow was a highlight- absolutely delicious blend of rich tastes and textures beautifully displayed. We stuck to small plates and pizza, and that was a fun way to try lots of flavors. For us, this will be a special occasion spot, and it was a wonderful evening!

Glasshouse Kitchen is a beautiful restaurant in an unexpected place. This restaurant is tucked away in RTP in an office park, but don't knock it before you try it! The restaurant is a beautiful two story glass building with whimsical designs hanging from the ceilings. Talk about dreamy. The space is smaller and more intimate, so Id say it's better for a small business dinner or date. The food is contemporary American with pizzas and other small plates. The menu is small and rotates, so it's more of an adventure rather than something for everyone. The pizzas we had were really tasty and filing. Everything else we tried was delicious, but definitely on the smaller side. I loved the mocktails here! So refreshing.

What a cool restaurant! Came here during a rain storm and it felt like a moody greenhouse, setting a very cool atmosphere. The menu items were very unique with a cool mix of ingredients in each dish. I got the whole fried fish which was a red snapper with rice and a curry sauce and the sauce was amazing!!! Split the burrata and bread service as well which was more unique than most places. If visiting Raleigh this area might seem unassuming but was worth the visit!

After many recommendations from friends for the beautiful interior of Glasshouse Kitchen, we finally decided to try it out for lunch on my partner and I's anniversary. The interior was breathtaking for a restaurant. We came when the sun was high up so make sure to wear your sunglasses! It was beautiful and created a great ambiance for brunch. As we denoted in our reservation that it was our anniversary, we were graciously greeted with champagne, which is quite a nice touch. Now the sourdough donuts made out of sourdough were quite delicious. I would definitely recommend just to try. However, it is worth noting that it wasn't anything out of this world. The main dishes itself were along the same lines. Hence the four out of five stars. The potatoes were quite under-seasoned with no salt and steak was standard. The burger was quite delicious, but huge and difficult to eat. Again, the food didn't really speak to me as much as the interior does. The service was good! The server was attentive and do what he needed to. He accidentally spilled some water on my phone, which was completely fine with me as it was a small amount, but he took the liberty of delivering a complimentary cheesecake as an apology which I greatly appreciate it. Overall, I would really recommend this place for the Instagram-able interior design. The food was nothing over the top and not quite worth the price.

I've been wanting to try Glasshouse Kitchen for a while and finally got the chance to attend their Brunch preview. It was a three course brunch that came with a welcome Mimosa and a cocktail of your choice. Here is everything that I got: First Course: DONUTS made from spelt sourdough on a bed of carrot and citrus. Second Course: I opted for the RAW OYSTERS with mary mignonette. The oysters we fresh and juicy. Third Course: XO FRIED RICE that came with a fried egg, yum yum sauce. I loved the fried rice. Really flavorful and cooked perfectly. Cocktail 1: ONE IN A MELON (tequila, cantaloupe, lime, jalapeño, ginger, coconut water, tajin, cinnamon, bitters) Really refreshing and pure deliciousness Cocktail 2: KENTUCKY BRUNCH (bonded bourbon, cold brew, coffee liqueur, orgeat, heavy cream) I saw the bartender make this a lot and got tempted to get one. It was definitely a good call. Perfect brunch coffee cocktail and the bourbon just makes it better. I'll definitely be going back to Glasshouse to try their other brunch items.

This is fine! The ambiance is kind of mixed. I love all the glass. And I love all the cool lighting in the high ceilings. But I feel like they worked really hard doing the architecture and then stopped. The actual decor is not that cool. The service was fine! This restaurant is definitely not understaffed. The food was okay. But I just didn't think the menu was that inspiring. I wasn't getting a real clear point of view from the menu. We got a pizza, and it was okay, but it wasn't great. I don't get why they are making a bunch of pizzas unless the pizzas are perfect. People are picky about pizzas! And I liked the squash bowl but I felt like I could've made it myself. I will say the cocktails looked good though!

The aesthetics of Glasshouse restaurant is beautiful, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. Perhaps, during weekday dining Glasshouse Kitchen brings their A-game across the board because it wasn't during my visit. They were busy! Pleasant host and waiter. I came on a Friday evening for a Birthday celebration. Not sure why Glasshouse asked about the occasion on the reservation request if they didn't intend to make it special. The bread service was okay. The bread itself tasted like it was missing something. The fried oysters were pretty good. For our main entrees, my friend had the steak (supposedly medium well), and I ordered the lamb pizza. The salad with the steak was a pile of arugula, and the steak was flavorful but overcooked. The Lamb pizza (added feta) was okay, but I felt the crust was too dark. The crust was still soft. There wasn't enough lamb on the pizza to be called "Lamb" pizza. When you add Lamb, lovers like me are automatically drawn to it. I do not recommend this pizza if you're a lamb lover. Not enough meat! The kicker here is that the waiter later told us it's common for the kitchen to cook steaks well -well done when one asks for medium well. Why not share this upfront? Let the customer decide on something else if your kitchen doesn't know how to cook a medium-well steak. This explains the 3.5% Kitchen Appreciation fee - they did not get our food right. The presentation of the pizza and steak was of a subpar chain restaurant. GlassHouse hasn't set itself apart from any other place serving similar food. It's just pretty inside and instagramable if that's what one is seeking.

Excellent food. The shrimp and grits was very tasty and our cesear salad def had a homemade dressing. My husband had a steak dish which he really liked, although he said the sauce was spicy. Fun setting. There were quite a few office parties going on, with long tables, but our group of 4 had fun.

Surrounding (4/5): Located in RTP in the agricultural park next to greenhouses greenhouses this restaurant has convenient parking and a very modern design that we enjoyed. The inside was very fun with vegetation, lights, and a cool vibe. The bar looks really nice and seating in the main room is preferred. There is some seating on the side of the restaurant, which are 2 top tables where we were, and it's a little more isolated and not as fun but better for conversation. The only negative is if you wanna go somewhere else after dinner there are no options nearby. Food (5/5): The food had good presentation and attention to detail. We had the mussels appetizer. This appetizer came in a large bowl with plenty for two people and a broth. It had some slight spiciness, which was enjoyable. It also came with two delicious pieces of wonderful bread. Our second appetizer was the burrata that also came with two wonderful, warm, crusty pieces of bread that we enjoyed spreading the burrata on. Our main meal was the fish for two. This was an entire fish that included the head and tail that was deep fried served on a large platter that included rice and salad, and a sort of curry base. The fish was delicious and flaky and paired well with the greens and rice. We really enjoyed this dish and the flavor profile was complex. Dessert was a blood orange crème brûlée that was absolutely perfect, it was delicate yet satisfying on the pallet. Drinks (4/5): the cocktails were creative, and the majority of them were fruity with only one cocktail being bolder, which was a smoky old-fashioned. The smoky old-fashioned was very good and they did a wonderful job presenting it. I wish they had a larger selection of bolder general cocktail yoga, cocktails and not just fruity ones. My second cocktail was a Boulevardier. They served it in an old fashioned glass with ice which is not the proper way to serve this drink. It should be served without ice like a Manhattan. Service (5/5): The waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. We look forward to coming here again.

A hidden little place next to a couple of labs. A very discrete area but the ambiance is quite nice. Tall, glass, and airy. It was a refreshing space. Service was consistent and quick. Everyone was quite nice. The food was standard. Pasta good, but it didn't really stand out. My friends had the skirt steak and the salmon. I got a very good review of the salmon. She praised the sear and the taste. Not so much for the steak itself. She said it needed seasoning but the vegetables were very good.

First time visiting this gem. Beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, yummy cocktails, and food offerings that are not too wild, but not what you would find anywhere else either (like the duck pepperoni pizza we selected). Tabitha, our server, was amazing. Our food came out crazy fast, but we never felt rushed. Great evening!

We celebrated an anniversary brunch here and it was so good. The restaurant is beautiful with stunning lighting. The service was top notch and our server and the restaurant comped us an appetizer as an anniversary gift. The brunch was excellent. Biscuits are huge and tasty. The shrimp and grits are also excellent and worth trying .

This place is absolutely beautiful, but the ambience is really the best part about it. There are all these big greenhouses outside of it that are lit up and it looks so good and vibrant at night. The inside of the restaurant also has cute floral lighting, moss walls, and is nicely decorated. It was busy when we went but we had made reservations earlier. We all agreed we wouldn't be back because the food was not that good. We got bread service, pizza, fried fish for 2, and beef meatballs. The best dish was the beef meatballs. The presentation of the plates were done well though. The pizza was small and could be a pizza for 1 or 2. It was nice and crispy but nothing spectacular. The bread was overcooked and strange tasting. I feel like it should've been complimentary because it was not soft, buttery, or really good. The beef meatballs were so soft, tasty, and the marinara sauce was good. The fried fish for two was extremely tangy. It felt like someone poured lemon juice all on the plate. We were excited to try the coconut curry it came with on the side and it was so sour. I do not recommend this dish to anybody. I feel like with some menu changes they would be a great spot. It looks like a good spot for drinks after work.
