Stopped by recently and had a nice experience overall. The food was decent and satisfying, though it didn’t quite impress us as much as some of our previous visits. However, the service was excellent—everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome.
The cocktails were the highlight of the night. Well-balanced, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. -
We had dinner at Glasshouse Kitchen to celebrate our anniversary. Xander was our waiter and he made the experience very special. He was attentive and made some delicious suggestions, from cocktails, appetizers to the main course—everything was excellent! He brought out a few very special additions to make our celebration extra special! We highly recommend this restaurant! The ingredients were fresh and everything was cooked well. The ambiance was relaxed and the environment was warm and classy. It wasn’t too noisy, so our conversation was easy and enjoyable. Great food, fantastic service and wonderful environment.

What a charming restaurant! Great setting tucked in the midst of offices/RTP. Parking was a challenge but they have valet service. My friend said it’s cool at night so may need to be back at night. Lunch 🥗 was delicious 😋
Check it out for the setting stay for the delicious food! -
Disclaimer: Recently moved from Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I dined regularly on all the raw oyster bars in the greater Boston area. 🦪🦪🦪
Recommended by a scientist friend, decided to drop by, originally planning to take some professional headshot self-portraits of myself (for Linkedin) outside in front of the interior-lit greenhouses, set against the ample background of green trees, and during a smooth sunset with my new mirrorless camera. 📸
The staff was extremely friendly and professional, even the manager Glen came by and said hello to me, which I appreciated. Despite there being a wait for table seating, was able to grab a spot at the bar.
Quickly got distracted from taking pictures outside by the bustling, sparkling atmosphere inside, felt like I would be missing out on something if I stepped out. Decided to order the carrots and the small plate of oysters. Carrots were delectable, filling, with excellent consistency, would highly recommend! My honest take on the oysters is slightly mixed. One the one hand, they were tasty and a truly unique experience as I've never had that style of seasoning before. Additionally, the presentation was high art, perfectly plated and visually stunning, which resulted (as you can see attached) in some of the best pictures in my entire batch of shooting throughout the day. On the other hand, personally I prefer larger "meatier" oysters with a strong brine taste, like you jumped in the ocean. So, therefore, although I will probably elect to try some other menu item next time, I still chose to rate the food as 5 stars because of the taste and unique presentation.
Before leaving, was approached by a very professional looking man and woman. They (like myself) work in Life Sciences, and welcomed me to the area with great conversation and hospitality.
5 Stars - Strongly Recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share instead of entrees and honestly every single one was a hit. Super unique menu, stuff you don't see everywhere else, and the drinks were the same way, different but so good. But what really made the night was the staff. From the hosts the second we walked in, to the bartender, to our server, everyone was so genuinely warm and welcoming. You can tell hospitality actually matters here and it's not just a job for them. The space is beautiful too, all glass and greenery. Can't wait to come back and work our way through more of the menu.
Shoutout to Cole, Tabby, and manager Kristin for outstanding customer service!!!!
