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.
