General Comments

I was so looking forward to eating at The Glass House! I should have realised that there may be a problem when I sat in a virtually empty dining room in early August at the height of the tourist season! The staff seemed robotic and unfriendly... I could have forgiven this if the food was good but I didn't think it was! I had a crab starter which was dry and tasteless. My main course was snapper with seasonal vegetables. The snapper was beautifully cooked but tasteless and the vegetables tasted as if they had been boiled in vinegar! I ate a little of the fish fully expecting the staff to ask how I enjoyed my meal.... They didn't! They cleared away 2 plates of untouched food without comment and later brought us dessert menus. This was the highlight of the evening. The dessert was sublime unfortunately too little too late to save the evening. I would not recommend this restaurant to anybody!
