   This was my third time dining at Glass Light, and I can't wait to go back again! This place is absolutely stunning! The art gallery, the main area, everything feels delightful and luxurious. Every staff member is friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and attentive - ESPECIALLY our server Ren! Ren had excellent suggestions for dinner as well as wine pairings, and their overall service was IMECCABLE. And the food. MY GOD! The crispy octopus appetizer is mandatory. I have had the scallops - perfectly cooked, the ribeye - melt-in-your-mouth meat, and on this occasion I tried the duck leg - WOW! Next time I go I will have a very hard to decision to make. It's all so, so, so good!!!

   Outstanding Dining Experience ✨ I had the pleasure of dining here yesterday, and everything—from start to finish—was exceptional. Our waitress was truly a gem: attentive, observant, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu, cocktails, wine pairings, and even subtle details that elevated our entire experience. Her thoughtful recommendations showed a true passion for hospitality. The food? Absolutely perfect. Each course was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The duck was a standout, cooked to perfection, and complemented perfectly by the wine she suggested. Next time, I might add an extra appetizer or a side—only because everything was that good and I wanted to taste even more. The ambiance was elegant yet comfortable. If I could offer one tiny suggestion, it would be to have just a touch more background music—something smooth, perhaps jazzy or with a lounge feel, to complete the vibe. But truly, from the cocktails to the appetizers to the entrées and wine, everything was on point. We left happy, full, and already talking about when we’ll be back. Thank you again for such a memorable night—and a special thank you to our exceptional server. See you soon! Merci Nicole Lafleur Vt/Mtl

   Food was excellent, but service was slow. I booked for a special occasion which was fully detailed in OpenTable, but upon arrival the server was unaware. Furthermore, the server’s attentiveness did not match the restaurant’s price point and wine was provided after the entree was almost completed.

   The selections for dinner we made were exquisite! The CHEF and his Team are exceptional, the dishes presentations were a work of ART and scrumptious. The restaurant offers a 5 gourmet experience. A Michelin Star meal!

   Food was excellent. Although Carrot Cake while good, not your traditional carrot cake and was therefore a little lacking. John our server was extra attentive and treated us as we would like to be treated.

   The service was excellent. We enjoyed the salt and pepper ship. My wife loved the GL Burger. I was disappointed in the duck I ordered. It appeared I got the 2 edge cuts off the breast with more fat than duck. Wonder who got the middle...

   We enjoyed a superb Mother's Day Brunch! Our entree selections could not have been more eye-pleasing nor tasty; service met its usual high standard of excellence. Norfolk's best restaurant...

   Glass Light is the best restaurant in Norfolk, hands down. Often times progressive chefs fail to strike a balance between innovation and the food actually tasting good and being appropriately portioned. Other restaurants downtown think making an entree $75 automatically means they're providing luxury. Chef Chingombe's dinner menu offered interesting takes on both classic and unique combinations of incredibly fresh, local and seasonal food. All while being reasonably priced. You can tell he loves what he does, and you will love what he and his team prepare. Service was wonderful as always. Katie was engaging, knowledgeable and attentive without making us feel rushed. Thank you for another perfect night out with my husband.

    Very nice dinning experience. My friend and I opted for 2 small plates each. It was just enough, beautifully prepared and delicious! The service was very good as well!
