    This is my 4th or 5th time going to Glas. The food is exceptional! Even when menu items contain ingredients that I KNOW I don't like, I know that these, let's face it, wizards in the kitchen, will make it taste good. There's some kind of magic happening in there because despite me absolutely hating coffee, they somehow managed to make a sausage out of pure coffee that made me question my ability to taste food. It was insanely good sausage. A coffee sausage!?!? Like, who thought of that and then had the absolute cheek to make it taste that good? The audacity of these people! The only drawback from the place is that I feel it would be frowned upon if I ordered another starter right after I'd eaten the first starter because I'm annoyed that I didn't get to eat the whole menu. Now, I hear you already "Just go back the next day and have another meal!". Well, how very dare you! What makes you think that I didn't suggest that to my wife and was shot down? Now I hear that they have a 7 course taster menu just before they change their seasonal menu and I just know I'd crawl over a mountain of broken glass while soaked in vinegar to try this. Oh god, am I a vegetarian now??!!??

    Ver enjoyable. All predictably lovely. We had a great ivy breakfast and coffee. The table for three could be a tad bigger. Difficult to fit everything on it. Otherwise no complaints
