The Blue Glass

Where do I begin. The staff was super nice and greeted us as we came in. Our waitress gave us some food good recommendations. Two of us shared the mussels, prime rib with smashed potatoes and butternut squash, and a half Green and Grains salad. The mussels were probably some of the best I have ever had. Served in a tomato soup type sauce with baked bread. To die for. The steak was cooked perfectly, and it was huge, and came with yummy garlic butter on top. The smashed potatoes were amazing. Crispy on the outside and soft inside. The salad was yummy and had just the right amount of everything. We were totally stuffed and glad we shared the entree. Definitely going back!

The humble store front of this unassuming restaurant does not do the delicious food justice. The pork tenderloin and house-made sweet potato English muffin were highlights of the Classic Benedict, but the generous portion of silky hollandaise and herbaceous roasted red potatoes truly set it apart. What a unique and delectable brunch spot. A must try!

UPDATE: Went back for brunch - it was ok. Seattle scramble is super cheesy. Appreciate the lots of potatoes. I had the fried chicken sandwich and the stargazer cocktail. I liked the cocktail very much - not too sweet and nicely strong. The sandwich is pretty small portion, the fried chicken was pretty soggy and not very flavorful; probably will not get it again.

Treat yourself to this place! Everything was perfect on Saturday night for me and my husband. The wonderful Kail took care of us for the evening. Although the other young lady working with her that night made sure we had everything we desired too. We started with the seared Ahi Tuna. See pic. It was perfection. I had the ribeye and my husband had the boneless braised beef short ribs. I’m so sorry to not have a pic of our entrees but we were half way done with them before I realized I hadn’t taken a pic. A testimony to how good everything was. My steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The short ribs melted in your mouth. Oh yeah, we had drinks too. I can’t wait to go for brunch!!

First, service was excellent. My girlfriend and I shared several items and the waitress made sure things came out one at a time so we could take our time and enjoy the food and drinks. The salad and seared ahi were excellent. However the fish part of the fish and chips was extremely disappointing. The breading was like wet paper when the dish came out, appearing as if it had been microwaved. It's a shame because it was good fish.

This restaurant had a nicely curated menu of specialty and common cocktails, a small selection of taps, and a reasonable menu of high quality American standards. I was able to get the ahi tuna sandwich made as a lettuce wrap so that I could avoid the gluten. They accommodated this without batting an eye! Candles, attentive but non-intrusive service, and generally a fun atmosphere made our visit excellent. Thank you!

Terrible experience. The reservation page never mentioned that the whole place is a bar and need to check ID before they can serve you. The google icon is restaurant not bar either. I made a reservation days ahead for Valentine’s Day dinner (only availability is 8 lol) and they kicked us out, and it’s super hard to find any substitution on the day of.

I really enjoy this restaurant. I've been coming here for years. Always had a positive experience. My bf and I came in for dinner last night. They had just two staff members waiting on the entire restaurant and bar, but they did a great job with service. I was worried at first, but they nailed everything and service wasn't overbearing, which I appreciate. We ordered two drinks: my standard Beefeater on the rocks with olives, and my boyfriend always orders the Blue Glass Manhattan with Buffalo. You wouldn't think restaurants could bungle a Manhattan, but some do, which is why we're always pleased that they do it so well here. And I'm always so pleased to have Beefeater available. The food: we order the burrata every time, and it's always so tasty. I love the chopped olives. I wish they confited the tomatoes a bit, but that's me being nit-picky. This app is solid and pleasing. I ordered the crab gnocchi. It is a soft Parisienne style gnocchi, which I haven't seen in a long time, and I appreciate the care that went into making it. Lots of delicious crabmeat was mixed throughout. The butter sauce was good, but I wish it had a touch more salt, and again that the tomatoes were cooked a bit, maybe blistered or something to liven them up, but I still enjoyed it. We also ordered Brussel Sprouts as a side, and they are so darn good! Always cooked well, and the sauce is delicious. This is once dish that I appreciate where the salt is not noticeable and overwhelming. You can just enjoy the veg and thoughtfulness of their vinaigrette. My boyfriend ordered the chix sandwich. He loved it! Next time we might bring his beloved mustard so that he can adorn his sandwich and enhance it his way (lol!l, but that's just his thing. The sandiwch was lovely, and I dunno where Blue Glass gets their fries, but they are BOMB! So good. Had to stop myself from taking an order home. The restaurant is always CLEAN! Thank you!!! Please keep it that way! This establishment is 21 and up, so it's an adult outing venue. People who have complained that they cannot bring their children here, you should brush up on the Seattle laws. This restaurant doesn't have the room for the Seattle mandated rail that must separate the bar area from the rest of the tables, so they are in compliance for the space they have available. It's just that simple. I've noticed over the years that this establishment really tries to branch out and keep the dinner menu fresh and attempts new things, and while not everything is a home run, I love the passion and effort! Great neighborhood spot! Hope you'll go and enjoy!
