    I like the Glass Monkey being a friendly neighborhood restaurant. The ambient is warm and welcoming. The food was tasty as well. Unfortunately the service was not good at all - we were pushed and rushed through the whole evening. Being attentive is important; however it did not feel like that.

    Amazing cuisine and loved the energy from the customers and staff Our waiter unfortunately mixed up our order and did not come back to check on our food, so we just went with it as the wine was outstanding, a French Chablis and we were celebrating our anniversary. Definitely we will go back and highly recommend trying this hidden gem!

    We had a group of six adults, the table that was provided was excellent for visiting. The food and service was excellent, the pumpkins were a nice touch for a fall experience. The wine list,food,service and ambiance is definite recommendation for returning.

    It’s a hidden gem. Low-key classy ambience that doesn’t feel outdated. Food tasted great. Right portion. We had the curry cauliflower, chicken wings, pumpkin soup to start. My main dish was chicken piccata. Every dish tasted pretty good with the right balanced flavour. The service was very good too. This place will be added to my go-to list of restaurants.

    Though I have been to the Glass Monkey many times, tonight was the first for my guest. Requesting a peripheral table with my reservation (hearing deficit), our table marginally met our needs. As always, we both enjoyed our food - my guest choosing small plates, potato skins and dried ribs (boneless), and a dessert, Turtle cheesecake, as well as sharing the wonderful beet salad with me. My choice was the Seafood Risotto, creamy with perfectly prepared shrimp and scallops. Beer and wine choices continue to be broad and interesting and we were delighted with a smooth Spanish red. Our servicer was attentive, if not aggressive, but my guest found him annoying. She also thought the menu "dense", difficult to read through, and expensive. Even I was surprised at the significant price increase from the summer. The Glass Monkey is an excellent and necessary restaurant in my community. However, it has shifted from my neighborhood gastropub to a special occasion, thus less frequented, dining choice.

    Glass Money was fabulous as always. Muscles were delicious (maybe could have been a few more) and the wine was fantastic. Halibut and the flat iron steak were our main dishes - outstanding. Highly recommend the entire experience. Local owners knocking it out of the park!!

    Amazing in every way! We were graciously greeted, had attentive and thoughtful service and didn’t wait long for our drinks or food. Best tasting cocktails we’ve had anywhere, plus the wine recommendation paired amazingly with our meals. It was obvious that the delicious food was prepared and plated thoughtfully and with love. Great atmosphere - tasteful decor with just the right amount of lighting. Lovely ambiance. Lively energy, but not too loud. Wonderful evening in every way.

    Unfortunately neither me or my date were impressed with any of our dishes. We ended up sending most of it back. The pate was dry and lumpy- served with uninspiring bread. Reminded us of cat food Tuna was somehow just wrong- didn’t taste right Overall- expensive and disappointing

    Food and service were excellent, our server Anna was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions we had; Anna also made recommendations which was appreciated. We ordered one of the specials, lamb shank and butter chicken from the regular menu. Caesar salad to start which we shared. Dressings and sauces are made in house, flavour was exceptional. Pino Noir and red Sangria were also very good.

    Truthfully probably a 7 out of 10. Grilled Caesar salad was good, the fried Brussel sprouts in butter was a nice change from the deep fried garbage going around these days, We had a couple dishes with crostini's that were horrible, they tasted like they were toasted in the morning and threw in a baggy to use throughout the day. Cocktails were average. There's better places to spend your money.

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Pretty restaurant and nice patio. The service was excellent. A great selection of wine and beer. For starters we had mushroom soup and chicken wings. The mushroom soup was delicious and flavourful. The S&P chicken wings were just slightly undercooked for my taste but they were juicy and had a nice crisp to them. I loved the fact that the carrots served were fresh juicy and crispy. Not old carrots as so often is served. For mains we both had Halibut with veggies, and rice. The halibut was lovely, well seasoned and fresh tasting. The veggies were cooked perfectly and the rice was light and fluffy. But for 43 dollars a plate I really would have liked a little more… wow. The bread pudding was rich, sweet, moist, and my favourite part of the meal. Not always a dessert person but I was glad I ordered this one. So yummy!
