We have had a crazy month as I started my new “traditional” job, so although we’ve been out and about, we haven’t been anywhere particularly new to us for a while. Last night, my husband and I met up with his aunt in NYC and decided to give the Glass House Tavern a shot as it was convenient to her hotel and the weather was iffy.
The Glass House Tavern does, indeed, have lots of glass for people watching, which if you’re in the City is a great thing to do. However, the area where people using wheelchairs can sit to dine is rather limited to the front of the restaurant (the main dining room is upstairs and the bar is down a couple steps). That being said, the waitstaff is quite aware and accommodating all things considered. Also, the entry is a little awkward for someone who isn’t comfortable navigating tight quarters in a wheelchair. I didn’t even ask about the bathroom!
As for the food – the restaurant had a nice pre-fixe meal for $35 – I went with the steak and garlic cheddar mashed potatoes (those were scrumptious!) and both of the others had fish meals which were delicious. The portions were appropriate – not too little, not too much. I liked the meal and the restaurant although it wasn’t particularly memorable. So far, the standby restaurant when all else fails which is close to theaters is Nios.
