What are the two
components which are highly essential for a successful romantic date? Ambience
and food! If these two score high, the rest is taken care of, and trust me when
I say this! Ambience sets the mood for an evening of romance and the food is
what will make this date a more memorable one. Agreed?
The city houses a
number of romantic restaurants but it is never enough. It’s like candy, you
know? The more you get, the more you want. The latest addition to this category
is the Glass House – Deli Bistro Bar. This restaurant finds it’s dwelling on a
quite lane of Lavelle road and makes sure that every passer-by has a second
look at it. You know what they, dress up in a way which makes every person give
you a second look? Glass house does just that and more.
Ambience
One look at this place
from outside and it mesmerizes you completely. Sometimes, there are things that
you just can’t get it off your mind, when it comes to restaurant ambience,
Glass house is a brilliant example of it. Sticking true to its name, the
restaurant is built in glass and stands majestically. Spacious and hauntingly
beautiful, you can’t help but fall in love with this place.
The bar section and the
liquor showcase stands out, giving this place that touch of perfection. Tables
are well spaced and there is outdoor, indoor and rooftop seating. I would
recommend the indoor or rooftop seating so that you can soak in the
sophistication this place has to offer. When it comes to ambience, Glass house
stand apart and stands at the top.
Food
Awe struck by the
ambience, I took my time going through the menu. Added to that, the menu here
is an extensive one, liquor and food. They largely serve continental food;
however you do get breakfasts and Italian too. If you aren’t in a mood to
drink, you can have the smoothie, juice or other beverages such as tea and
coffee. They offer a variety when it comes to beverages!
There are limited
options for vegetarians however, since the menu is extensive in terms of
different cuisines they offer, veggies won’t have a problem finding something
suiting their taste buds. Oh and how can I forget the desserts! Looking at the
options they offer if you are a sucker for desserts you might as well just
settle for having those for lunch/dinner, no kidding here!
The lovely Fratelli wine - Red and White
Bread and nuts to start of the meal
Spiced baby potatoes
and Bruschetta trio was what we ordered for. Unlike what you find in many
places, the bruschetta here was different. Served on a tiny squared bread which
one can have it in a single bite, they were dressed with toppings ranging from
cherry tomatoes, olives, basil, wild mushrooms to marinated antichoke. If you
are looking forward to try something different from the usual bruschetta then
this is the one you should be getting your taste buds to try on. Adding to the
scrumptious-ness of these bruschetta were the spiced baby potatoes which gave
our taste buds a much required jolly ride. The taste of garlic was prominent so
if you detest the flavour of this herb you should probably avoid this one.
Bruschetta Trio with a variety of toppings
For the potato lover, spiced baby potatoes!
Main course was inaugurated with sandwich and pasta. What made our dining experience more enjoyable was the wine. A sip of wine and a bite of some good food, who needs cheesy conversations when you can find romance in your food. Am I right or am I right?
The wine tomatoes and brie sandwich was a
lip-smacking piece of bread, I tell you! Heavy on the tummy and yummy on the
tongue, even if you are full you would want to stuff this one.
Yummy in the tummy sandwich
The pasta on other hand
was penne arriabatta cooked with seasonal vegetables and cherry tomatoes was
disappointing. Disappointing because it lacked taste, any kind of taste! I
might as well say that it was pretty tasteless.
The only part of the meal which was disappointing - Penne Arriabatta
But, the good news was
that in order to erase our disappointment we treated ourselves with desserts.
Mango mousse and raspberry macaroon! This was like icing on the cake. I know my
craving was satisfied as I relished the macaroon and the mousse. That’s what a
dessert should do. It’s no good if it can’t satisfy that aching crave for some
delightful confectionary.
Mango Mousse, for the mango lovers!

Service and Pricing
Attentive and friendly
is how I would like to describe their service. Attentive to all your needs and
a friendly smile is all you need to make your customer happy.
The place is pricey,
but it’s worth it. I don’t have a problem spending a bomb if the place excels
in every aspect – Ambience, food and service. When it comes to value for money,
this restaurant occupies its place somewhere on top of the list.
Glass house is like an
escape from reality. It takes you into a different world with the kind of
ambience it provides and the food makes sure that you have a hell of a time.
Isn’t this something all foodies want?
That said, let me tell
you something, yes Glass House is definitely one of the romantic restaurants
the couples ought to visit but it’s just not meant for them. If you are looking
to spend some quality time with your family or friends at a place which offers
classy ambience and some delectable food, Glass House, Deli Restro Bar is one
of the restaurants you should definitely consider.
