Service was outstanding! All around excellent meal! The lamb was amazing and perfectly cooked. The aubergine is one of the best dishes I have had. The desserts were amazing as well. Incredibly creative! Look forward to returning 🌞

Delicious meal bursting with balanced flavours and unique fresh ingredients. We had the tasting menu (see blue). Very accommodating of allergies. Made reservations in advance…Recommend not being first sitting at 5:30pm but 6pm onwards?

Had a great Easter Sunday lunch, set menu with sharing opinions. Starters and snacks are a great treat. The oyster is really good and worth the money. Staff and the welcome were amazing. We were being looked after by Angie who was unreal and took time to explain all the details and opinions. The knowledge was brilliant and really helped our choices. We shared the porter house steak was cooked to perfection.

If you‘re into fine dining, that isn’t pretentious the Glass Curtain is a must! The food and drinks you get here are the best in town and sometimes even better than michelin starred restaurants in the world! Want to treat yourself and your loved ones - this is the place to be. Service is immaculate, very helpful & knowledgable. Love the ambiente, view of the kitchen and the bar tender. Also - great music playing (:

Absolutely fantastic! Possibly the best restaurant we have ever eaten in. We had the tasting menu and wine and it was spectacular. The service was impeccable. Friendly, accomplished, knowledgeable and just wonderful! Good, fresh, local, seasonal produce cooked to perfection with some lovely twists of flavour. Would definitely recommend.
