Not recommended! We had a subpar experience despite okay food because, 1. The restaurant did not look like the pictures at all. The space was dark, and it overall didn't feel sleek. The glass theme was not classy at all. 2. The menu didn't have pricing for beers, and a can of beer turned out to be $15. 3. The server provided lunch menu for dinner, and only realized when we ordered entrees. She took the menus away, and we were asked to re-read the menu.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Glasshouse in Cambridge, and from a photographer’s perspective, this venue is truly a gem. My one criticism of restaurant weddings is flow - with spaces that aren’t designed to be wedding venues, moving from cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing can be a logistical challenge. Glasshouse avoided this entirely with its spacious layout and intentional design. The minimalist design, exposed ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling windows provided a visually striking backdrop. As a photographer, it’s always exciting to work in a space this beautiful.
One of the standout features was the large, beautiful entryway that hosted cocktail hour and dancing. The high ceilings and open layout made this area feel spacious and inviting, while also providing plenty of room for guests to mingle and celebrate. Coupled with the dedicated dining space which was kept hidden from guests until dinner, the flow was impeccable. The transition between the outdoor space, to cocktail, to dinner was seamless, and although the venue felt intimate, it never became crowded.
Overall, Glasshouse offers a wonderful balance of style, intimacy, and flexibility. Whether indoors or out, the space provides countless opportunities for capturing special moments in a setting that feels both modern and timeless. I highly recommend it for couples looking for a venue that blends industrial charm with a touch of elegance.

Five Stars for The Glass House
My wife and I are so happy we chose The Glass House for our son’s wedding Rehearsal dinner. From the initial phone call through the event, everything was handled professionally and with a level of care.
The space is perfectly laid out so you can move between dining space, to the bar or outside very comfortably. We had a great night where the outside section was a bonus.
The food was phenomenal, but the staff and their level of outstanding customer service was where they truly shined. From the food handlers to our wonderful bartender, to our great coordinators, everyone did their job with care, consideration and professionalism. Whomever handles the training you should be commended!
I don't typically write reviews, but this one was warranted. Great job Glass House, we're very happy you handled our event!

The location and atmosphere of Glass House is exceptional! We got fish tacos, the falafel wrap and fries.The fries were one of the best I’ve had but I would have loved to have more falafel in the wrap. The tortilla of the fish tacos took away from the taste of the fish but overall everything was good. I would go back!

We recently had our wedding at Glass House in Cambridge, and it was truly the best decision we could have made! From the moment we started planning, Kristin, was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly accommodating, working closely with us to ensure every detail matched our vision. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she made the entire process so smooth and stress-free.
The venue itself is stunning—beautifully modern with a warm ambiance that was perfect for our celebration. Our guests were blown away not only by the setting but also by the food. They couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything was! The drinks were top-notch as well, perfectly crafted.
Kristin and the entire team at Glass House truly went above and beyond to make our dream wedding a reality. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. If you're looking for a venue that combines excellent service, incredible food, and a gorgeous atmosphere, and an amazing party, Glass House is the place to go!

The pan-seared salmon is excellent. The balance of flavours between its sweet and spicy chili glaze, the sweetness of the coconut jasmine rice, and the zesty taste of garlicky shredded bok choy is very well done.

Disappointingly not a glass house. You could throw a stone. You shouldn't but you could
We had a date night here during DineOut Boston. What we liked: great ambience and well decorated. Really delicious drinks - my smoked paloma was a delight. Poutine fries were a hit and the waffles on the waffle Sunday were fresh and crispy. What we didn't like: our server wasn't great and clearly didn't know about wines (which is fine, I'd rather you just say than lie). My crab hash browns were very one note. I got a "gnocchi" dish that just crumbled immediately so it was more mashed potatoes than anything. My wife got a dry, flavorless short rib she could not finish. Very mixed experience for us, some really yummy stuff but some very questionable dishes.

Held a team lunch here. Service was excellent. Food choices are great with many options. We enjoyed the calamari, shrimp, soft pretzels and Mediterranean appetizers. All were very tasty. For the main meal, we had steak, Poke Bowl, Caesar Salad with Salmon, Salmon. Everyone loved their selections. Lastly, for desert we had the chocolate bread pudding and the vanilla bean crème brûlée. Yummy!! Overall, I would recommend for a great place for a team meal location.

It's not the cheapest place but the location is awesome. Drinks are pricey but there's an very large outdoor area which is hard to find in Kendall square.
Tends to have a lot of biotechnology workers on any given night.

Visited Glass House for dine out and was very disappointed with the overall experience. First course sweet potato salad and duck poutine were the highlight. We were served our entrees while I still had almost half of my first course left to enjoy. I noticed this happen at the table next to me as well.
