It is always nice to take friends who have never been before to the Glasshouse for an enjoyable dinner. Especially for them to be so impressed with the food and atmosphere. It is always nice to hear that others love the food as much as we do. Now they want to come back and stay to enjoy the whole experience when visiting Tamworth next time.

We picked this restaurant because it’s close to the theatre. A great find - we chose several sharing dishes for our group of four and all were delicious. The octopus was so good we ordered another! Service was friendly and efficient. All together great experience.

Hands down some of the best modern Australian food in Sydney! The food is amazing and the portion sizes are just right. They also have a dedicated gluten free fryer for coeliacs, so I could enjoy all the fried GF menu items such as salt and pepper squid and the fries etc. If you’re planning on coming, definitely order the beef cheeks and fried Brussels sprouts. I can’t recommend this place enough!
