    I was fortunate to have my birthday here. The service is fabulous and the food divine. I will definitely be back. First time won't be the last. Great location for a sunset to watch over the water. Thanks for making some good memories for me.

    Delightful birthday lunch. Glass Dining's food was fresh, crisp and tasty. The service we received from our Waitress, Barbara (we think her name was), was flawless! She went out of her way to help us celebrate my birthday with a complimentary ice cream and sparkler when she realised we didn't order dessert from being too full from this delicious food! 😅 Overall, well done Glass Dining. Your care and attention to detail does not go unnoticed. Thank you. ❤️

    What a great find! We were staying at nearby Versace resort and came out for a walk to the Marina ... and found this fabulous restaurant. Awesome food, service and waterfront location. Absolutely loved it! They even have a separate vegan menu which was fabulous for vegetarians. Will definitely be back...please do book in advance however as it is quite popular

    The food was amazing, and the service we received from Sebastian was first class! He was personable, professional and a little cheeky and his attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our every need was second to none. We were there celebrating a 50th birthday and the dessert, sparkler and singing happy birthday was a nice touch which made our night that little bit extra special. The combination of 5 star food and 5 star service is why I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Girls lunch on Monday. Was a beautiful day and with an outside table the view was stunning. Our server was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Ordered 6 x oysters Kilpatrick for a starter. I did find the sauce to be very “tomato sauce” rich in flavour which I didn’t particularly enjoy that much. Had the lunch special chicken salad which was sooooo good. Was a bit disappointed overall with the food as I’d heard such great things, but I’d still like to return to try again.

    Regulars at Glass and it never disappoints. Service is also fabulous, views and of course the food is wonderful whether it be fish, steak or just the delicious sides such as pan fried mushrooms. Highly recommend ++++

    Went there for my Birthday. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. Thoroughly enjoyed their vegan menu. We had Crispy tofu and bruschetta for entree and was absolutely delicious! Mushroom Pesto pasta and Barely Risotto for the mains with brocolini & chips on the side were also very tasty. So much volume that we’re were not able to finish it. They’ve surprised me with complementary passion fruit ice cream for my Birthday which was also very lovely. We’ll definitely come back.

    Wonderful waterside stylish restaurant with impeccable service staff and classy vibes. Delicious cocktails and great food and atmosphere. Very reasonable prices (surprisingly cheaper than the Fisherman’s wharf Tavern nearby!)

    Seafood platter is delicious, better, and a lot more generous than Sydney. The manager was heaps nice; she even brought colouring pencils and paper for my daughter to play with. Great restaurant 👌

    What a great position with great views the people serving were attentive without being overbearing. The food was excellent and well presented, there was plenty of choice. I would come again but it is a little too pricey for a regular visit.

    My partner and I came here for a date night and it was honestly a perfect experience. The location was stunning and you could see the perfect views. The girls hosting were absolutely amazing and offered us some advice and recommendations which was really helpful. Food was a 10/10 and definitely worth what it was. Desserts and cocktails looked and tasted phenomenal as well. Definitely will be willing to make a drive back here for a special night.

    Lovely food, amazing views and great atmosphere - which we also recently made a YouTube video about. Highly recommend it!

    Lovely spot. Can’t complement the level of service highly enough. The staff were simply fantastic. Food was also extremely good. Always nice to get good food mixed with good wine and great service. Highly recommend.

    Nice waterfront restaurant with decent food Our favourite dish was the seafood linguine - the pasta had a nice texture, the sauce was savoury and seafoody and the lobster in it was very nice! The barramundi was nice with a very tasty sauce, but the overall dish was underwhelming for the price. The shoestring fries were good but $14 is quite expensive for it. The duck liver & plum pate was a very nice starter but, similarly, quite expensive for what we get. Overall, the food wasn’t out of this world; so it didn’t really justify their price point. But the restaurant being waterfront does give a really nice atmosphere and the service was pretty good. Also, if you stay at the Sheraton, it’s only a couple minutes walk from there!

    What has happened to my favourite restaurant? We waited 1.5hrs for pate entree which was tasteless and small. Then finally after 2hrs my NZ sole and vongole arrived and was very over cooked. The clams tasted like rubber. This dish was inedible. Not the same restaurant! We got up and left, my husbands meal was disgusting as well. I’ve provided the photo of the Portuguese stew, it was basically a badly cooked chorizo mash! But there was no apology or anything, Manager was very rude to us. What a shame, won’t ever go back..and we’ve been going for decades but it’s now a new Chef who can’t cook! 😔

    Our favourite lunch restaurant with marina view in marine mirage, nice bread and dishes. But for cocktail & dessert, got some rooms to be better

  • 5/5 stuart a. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and lovely service. The chocolate cake was far too sweet and the quality didn’t align with the rest of the food that was served

  • 4/5 Rob A. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing food, staff were friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great, we dined outside and the amount of fish swimming next to the dock was wonderful to see, The selection of food was great and everything we had was absolutely delicious the wait staff offered up some selections and their choices were just what we wanted thoroughly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Allen J. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Deservedly five stars. Well decked out with a view but I had great service today. Really lovely and professional. And the food. I officially am a seafood lover now. The oysters were super fresh, the broccolini well steamed & flavoured, the mussels sensational. Thank you to the waitress who recommended them to me as I will also recommend them here. Ps it must be a 2023 thing but noticing not many places offer the option to add a tip on the EFTPOS machine. Probably the only thing I’d change about my experience here & in general.

    Beautiful spot on the marina. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was exceptional. I had the seafood linguine, and my partner had the aged rib fillet with a Moreton Bay Bug and Local Prawns. We live an hour and a half from Glass and both agree its well worth the drive This is now one of our most favourite restaurants. We cant wait to get back and try some other things on the menu. Oh... and the Naked Margarita was amazing!

  • 5/5 Jennifer C. 1 year ago on Google
    A wonderful venue for an intimate birthday celebration. We had lunch overlooking the marina. Waiters gave excellent, well-timed and friendly service for each course. Food was brilliant without waiting too long. My husband was surprised with a thoughtful and fun way to mark his milestone birthday and overall a very happy and memorable occasion. Thank you Glass Dining restaurant.

    Oysters are very small. Food tasted good but in a small serve. Cocktail tasted bad, don't order. The staff was mostly friendly except for the lady sitting behind the counter.

  • 3/5 Gia L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is good but not wow. It’s hard to grab waiter’s attention and feel like they’re a bit understaffed. I’ll rate a 7/10 for food and a 5/10 for service. With such restaurant, I expect a bit more than that especially when I chose it for my hens night. Would not come back unfortunately

  • 5/5 Dena A. 1 year ago on Google
    Couple on date night 🫶🏽 Atmosphere was sophisticated & elegant. Lovely & warm inside. Food was sensational. Flavor was amazing. Oyster Kilpatrick beautiful smoky flavor , Portuguese stew omg what can I say. I’d eat it everyday if I could. Partner had the Bugs. Stated they melted in your mouth & accompanied with the garlic dip were sensational. We will return 🍸🍺
