★★★★★ 5.0 Jeremy Thompson · Feb 2026

We did the Chef's table tasting menu on Valentine's Day weekend so we paid extra, but it was worth it for the experience. We were supposed to have a four course tasting, but Chef Ticha made that 7 courses by just adding two more dishes at no charge!! Our server Katie was AMAZING!!! Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and just fun for us to talk to! Every dish got better and better. The crispy octopus.....I would go back 100 times to eat that dish! The scallops and pork belly addition was ridiculous 😍! Both the Executive and Sous Chefs have Incredible and inspiring journeys into the culinary arts and the place is remarkably unpretentious for the caliber of meal and service we received. Go for a special occasion and have the Chef's table experience....it's pricey, or save some bucks and jus

The Glass Light Restaurant offers a unique combination of an upscale bar and dining area set alongside an eclectic collection of glass art. It is a visually striking spot for a night out. The Food 🐙 Crispy Octopus: Served on patatas bravas with chorizo, roasted garlic aioli, and pickled Fresno chilis. The chilis were the key, bringing a subtle heat that cut through the richness of the dish. 🍞 Sourdough: The grilled sourdough was a great way to sop up the savory octopus sauce - highly recommended. The Drinks 🥃 Bourbon & Wine: The bar has an impressive selection, including some allocated Buffalo Trace and Heaven Hill bourbons that are hard to find. The wine list is also solid. Service and Vibe ⭐ The Staff: Special thanks to Amanda and Joanna at the bar for the attentive and professional

Glass Light provided my family and I with an ultimate experience. Our beyond fabulous server, Kristi, made our restaurant experience absolutely amazing. With her knowledge and wit, we were able to receive the best quality drinks, food, and service. To top it off, our chefs (people of color), were utterly wonderful and ever so kind. We cannot thank the staff enough for providing us with the best experience and high quality food. The atmosphere is beautiful with an added bonus of a free art gallery right next door. I highly recommend this lovely restaurant!

We came in last minute for our anniversary. Not only did they accommodate on us on extremely busy night, but they made us a Happy Anniversary card on the spot. Our server Katie was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and had a wonderful personality. Everything we ordered tasted amazing, and was plated with so much attention to detail. My husband said the burger was one of the top 3 best burgers he has ever had. We also ordered drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and they were so good. Having non-alcoholic options was a huge bonus! We will definitely be returning, not only for the delicious food, but for the wonderful service and atmosphere.

My husband and I had a date night dinner here before going to a magic show. At first I was very annoyed that the menu in restaurant did not match the menu online. I was excited to have duck and purposely searched for restaurants that had it on their menu, which is how we ended up here. The server let us know to not trust the menu online because it was their summer menu and they were now in winter. I really wanted to leave but I can admit, I’m glad we stayed. Everything we had was amazing. I was caught off guard because normally when I have a craving, I have to have it to feel satisfied but not this time. We had the octopus appetizer, the burger, and scallops. Each bite was so tasty and cooked perfectly. Even dessert was better than I expected. To be clear, I do think management needs to
