Ambience is extremely beautiful. Food was sophisticated and delicious. Service was amazing! Would definitely recommend if you're wanting to dine alone, meet up with friends, have after work dinner, take that special person on a date or grab a drink.

For a business lunch, this place is on the very expensive side. But my customer and I found everything excellent.
The oysters were delicious and I asked for sushi grade salmon to be left pink. The server made it happen and the Thai curry dish was incredible. Perfectly designed.
This place also is quite gorgeous with tall warehouse type ceilings and glass all around.

5 stars for service, atmosphere, cocktails. We enjoyed our food but portions are a bit small for the price. Server Jasmine was attentive and helpful as it was our first visit. There is a nice and calm ambiance about the dining room and bar. 3.5% “kitchen appreciation” on top of the menu prices? This is annoying.

A great spot for lunch if you’re in the area, with strong service, and great natural light and beautiful ambience!
Our server, Tabi, was incredible – very kind, conscientious, and timely. We ordered off the lunch menu, and between the three of us, got the chicken sandwich, the Smashburger, and the shrimp salad. They all looked incredible and tasted good as well. The burger was solid, though I do think the fries were pretty below average.
The full menu looks worth trying, and I do plan to come back here and hope that I can give it five stars upon trying out the more fulsome dinner menu!

I took a couple of friends to Glasshouse to celebrate a friend’s career success. The atmosphere was just phenomenal! Destiny, our waitress, was amazing!
We had an issue with a dish, but Destiny and the assistant manager addressed it in a way that exceeded our expectations. I was simply blown away by the service! Our experience was phenomenal, and I highly recommend that everyone visit Glasshouse at least once.

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 amazing dinner this week at glass House. Kitchen got the opportunity to try their new full menu. The kale salad, prime rib, pizza, duck pasta, and pork chop were all delicious. The cocktails that were recommended by Christian hit the spot

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.

Everything was delicious and well-balanced. Satisfying and flavorful but not too heavy. However, the main standout was the service. Out of the 5 staff who interacted with us, all 5 were friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating. They had a really good vibe. I will say I wish the main dining room was bigger because the atmosphere was so cool in there but there weren't many tables that could fit. The outdoor seating was nice too, though.

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.

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
