Fantastic setting, good drinks, fabulous service, tasty fresh food.... Beautiful

I dined here for my first time on the 4th of July. Expecting it to be bustling because of the views as well as the holiday, I made sure to snag reservations a full week and a half in advance as I had planned to dine outside. Thankfully we snagged the last outdoor table when we arrived. Although my table wasn't placed exactly next to the falls, the atmosphere of the main dining deck was airy, inviting and charming. Our server, Allison was cheerful, knowledgeable of the menu and punctual to our table yet understanding exactly how we wanted to space out our time dining. She graciously informed us upon arriving that we were free to move about the different decks as we pleased to take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere, which was an unexpected but obviously very welcome surprise. I took her up on that offer later, after a few tables had cleared and I'm so glad I did. The backdrop of cascading waterfalls, mixed with the subtle summer breeze off the mountain does nothing less than add to the ambiance and elegance of each plate that was set out before me. I started off with the Jalapeno Margarita, which Allison was kind enough to suggest on the rocks, since I didn't think straight up would've been pleasant due to the heat. Good call Allison. A delightfully refreshing (and palate tingling) cocktail that left me wanting a few more after I left. Accompanying my drink, I had a charcuterie board with Boar Soppressata, Lomo and Culkin's Creamery Vampire Slayer. All of which were absolutely delicious, as were the accompanying adornments to the board. Thanks to Glass, I now have to order that cheese or I won't be able to rest. Next, I ordered the Patatas Bravas, which struck right to my comfort food loving heart. Fried chunks of potatoes smothered in Queso Blanco, Guanciale and sprinkled lovingly with Aleppo. I found myself mindlessly mopping the dish clean afterwards with the little hidden bits of Guanciale. Following that was the Stuffed Clam, which I paired with a flamboyant little cocktail dubbed The Sazarac 2.0. A little but mighty drink of Rye with a luxurious Absinthe foam adorning the top, which slowly creeps it's way down into harmony with the Rye as it sits. This paired exceptionally well with the afore mentioned Stuffed Clam, in a way that didn't outshine the flavor of the stuffing whatsoever. It's true you could probably get a stuffed clam at many places in the area, but there was a consideration for difference in flavor that was very apparent here. Cheesy, and if I'm not mistaken, an accompanying tomato element of sorts, that pulls the stuffing together with the clams fabulously. Finally, I ordered the Cubano Shrimp. The true star of the meal. The grits were indescribably unctuous and rich with cheese. The combination of Espana Sauce, charred peppers, and sofrito saute base made each element of the dish marry together in pure nirvana, while simultaneously bringing life to each one individually. It was such a hypnotic dish, I ended up saving some for home. I ended the night with a Saranac Blueberry Ale, which helped digest every delicious thing I had just eaten as I walked around the decks, which are just as gorgeous at night. You can't see any fireworks from here, but honestly, even if I could've, the food and drinks would've stolen my attention anyway. I took cake truffles to go, a trio sampler of Strawberries and Cream decorated in red white and blue for the holiday, cookies and cream, and pina colada. I ended up eating them the next day, and I don't even have words to describe how many more of them I could eat if they were in front of me. Highly recommend them as a dessert. Without a doubt, definitely will be returning here. Stellar service, incredible food, and gorgeous atmosphere and surroundings.

If you are looking for a restaurant with great views, comfortable seating, fantastic service and incredibly tasty food, then this is the place for you. Sundays in the summer have BBQ, Brews and Blues. Great concept, great band, fantastic food!

We celebrated our 10-year anniversary here. Our server was fantastic; she heard me mention that it was our anniversary and brought us 2 glasses of champagne to celebrate, courtesy of the restaurant. The perogies were a great appetizer, followed by the gnocchi, an incredible duck breast, and mixed vegetables. The plates are small and are meant to share so you can try multiple different dishes. The price was appropriate for the size of each dish and we would've eaten more if we weren't so full. Great atmosphere, great service, great food...highly recommend Glass!
