This is my neighborhood spot. Great drink menu, food and service. Love the cute patio during the summer
** I wanted to update my review from a few years ago*** we used to be a regular at this place under the old ownership. Rob was was awesome! Love the restaurant before
Under the new ownership we have been very disappointed at every single time we've been here. From the lack of local beers, to quality of the menu, and quality of the serving staff and kitchen. We have stopped coming here which is too bad because we live in the neighborhood

The current rating of this restaurant needs to be updated to accurately reflect the reviews which have been posted since new owners took over. In reviewing the postings since new ownership, it is clear that there are many ongoing issues which need to be addressed. My personal experience would rate this restaurant in the minus range for many of the reasons already noted by previous diners.

Brunch at The Glass Monkey in Edmonton was fantastic! Got the smoked salmon Eggs Benny—perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and crispy hashbrowns. My friend raved about the Nutella pancakes with fresh berries. Cozy vibe, super friendly staff, and food came out fast. A bit pricey at ~$35 each, but totally worth it. Can’t wait to try dinner here!!!

Not sure if this place switched owners recently , but the quality has gone down.
Very unorganized . Will consider trying it one more time , but owners need to be more involved . Servers were extremely busy and I did not see any upper management helping out .

I had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful lunch here, and it exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was calm and elegant perfect for a mid-day break. The dishes were beautifully presented and full of fresh, balanced flavors. Service was professional, timely, and gracious. Whether you’re meeting for a business lunch or simply treating yourself, this place offers a touch of refinement that truly elevates the experience. Highly recommended.

From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly attentive and courteous, making sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor clearly made with care and quality ingredients. Whether you’re looking for a cozy date night or a casual outing with friends, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommended!

Food and Drinks are really Amazing, it’s like a hidden gem,
We took our family of 6 here for our anniversary. We have frequented the restaurant many times over the years. The menu is very limited compared to the previous owners but the old menu is still on the web site. Very disappointing. The butter chicken was good ( which is the only reason for 2 stars) but the “fresh” choice I had was not. It was greasy and lacked flavour. The worst part was the service. The restaurant wasn’t full. We had been there 15 minutes before someone came and asked us if we had seen a server yet. And it didn’t improve from there. The Glass Monkey was never an inexpensive restaurant and the new owners seem to think they can charge the same prices for substandard food and service. Because there were 6 of us, there was an automatic gratuity of 20%. We have no issue paying 20% when we get good service but last night we did NOT get good service. It’s too bad that we won’t be back to what was once a great neighbourhood place to frequent.

We were a group of 5 last night and thoroughly enjoyed the food and excellent service.
The atmosphere gets a 2 unfortunately due to the state of the women’s washroom. It hadn’t been cleaned, bins overflowing and there was a stench that made one gag. Not good.

Posting this review as their hygiene standards are extremely low . The women’s bathroom smelt horrible and the restaurant needed a good cleaning . I ended up not touching my meal. (no idea how clean the kitchen was ). Service was ok . They did not seem too concerned about the smells and just said “ owner is aware “

If I could give this place a zero star I would. The cleanliness is most definitely not up to code. If you need to use the ladies room i recommend going in with a gas mask or just hold it. Customer service is also another thing lacking especially with the male servers.

This restaurant has the potential to be great but, the new ownership is ruining the overall vibe. Very unprofessional and questionable ethics.
