The Glasshouse. High season prices but low season food.
As this forum's number one restaurant critic it pains me to write reviews of lousy restaurant food but sadly I must. Lunch at The Glasshouse yesterday was a rather sad state of affairs. The crispy squid consisted of tasteless pieces of squid in a thick overcooked batter. Served in a bowl with a few cashews and inedible green leaves it was a tragedy of a dish. The shrimp and pomelo salad managed to be worse.. The pomelo was fine and mixed with plenty of chilli and crisped rice. However. The three miserable shrimp were devoid of flavour and had a flaccid wooly texture. Perhaps they died of melancholy. Grim. The steamed rice was fine. For the food. a pineapple smoothie and a latte I paid 625 baht. Service was as wonderful as it always is and when I asked for something to dip the squid in (a sort of culinary mouth to mouth resuscitation) they quickly provided soy and chilli sauces and wedges of lime. Regardless of the disappointing food I still had a lovely time and will go there again because it's still Pattaya's most beautiful restaurant. The Glasshouse is located on the beach about 1km south of Jomtien Beach.

Is it on Jomtien beach road between the Police Station at Chyapuak and where the road turns inland at the open air seafood restaurant?

And after a sumptuous dinner in Bang Saray why not hop on the motorbike and take coffee and dessert there on the way back to Pattaya.

Latin. It's a well known fact that the food is but one reason why people go to a restaurant and the food is usually very good. Let me know when you've been there and then we can discuss this properly. At night the place hums with hundreds of people enjoying themselves. So maybe it's not for you.
Re: The Glasshouse. High season prices but low season food.
...so if the food is usually good why didn't u point that out in your original report instead of trashing the place..u probably cant even boil an egg...but fancy yourself as some sort of foodie...
Re: The Glasshouse. High season prices but low season food.
My back catalogue is there for all to peruse Rabbi.
3 minutes for a.soft boiled egg. Always start with cold water. And I'm sure you do but you really shouldn't keep eggs in the fridge.
