Overall quite disappointed by the food here.
Glass House hosted a TERF fundraiser last month. The owner, Brair Group, has no business claiming to be lgbtq friendly.
My experience was a massive disappointment
Went here recently for an early dinner. The clam chowder is excellent and I’m a native New Englander who is hard to please. Cocktails were well balanced, we tried the Tajin Dream and the Love Story. Cool space, prompt friendly service. Overall great experience.
The meal was delicious, from the cocktails to the entrees. Our app choice, the shrimp scampi flatbread, was savory, cheesy, and delish, and we especially loved the addition of hot red pepper. The cod dish was superb: the fish loins were perfectly prepared. The fish was fresh, juicy and succulent. And the outer crust was golden and perfectly crunchy. Accompanying vegetables, broccolini and tiny rainbow potatoes were all tasty and well prepared. Our server was also efficient and pleasant.
Great atmosphere and fantastic food. Service was top notch. Our group ordered a variety of dishes (and dessert!) everything was great.
Not too crowded on a Friday evening and the food was delicious. Best clam chowder in town.
The dining area was not open which made the environment strange. Hostess and server were kind but didn't seem enthusiastic for us to be there. We ordered drinks and food and felt rushed out. The space is beautiful but having the dining area closed off felt awkward and the people felt unmotivated.

Exceptional service and amazing food. We had the salmon and the poke bowl, both dishes were expertly prepared and delicious. We tried the fall mocktail with the cinnamon lined rim and it was festive and tasty, perfect for a fall lunch!

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!
