I was expecting heaps of atmosphre at the this place but did not feel it when we arrived. My husband and I had many different waiters/waitresses all night which I dont really like. The food was nice enough but definately nothing special - I guess the food was so superb at the hotel we were staying at - The Glass... more

Recently ate here, not the cheapest but certainly the finest locally, excellent selection of fresh and local ingreidents combined to perfection, good portion sizes which don't skimp. The restaurant is on different levels and in a lovely setting, we were swiftly seated even without a booking. Only niggle was the fresh bread provided of which there was two different flavours... more

We ate at The Glass House with 2 friends in September, it was our 40th Anniversary. Our friends requested a wine the GH had listed which he had read about but it was not available. A 2nd choice was also not available, the jovial owner arrived to explain he had taken our choices of wine home. On hearing our food... more

We went here for a more special meal during our honeymoon. It was a tough choice deciding what to order as the menu was divine! I had the pate which was heaven! A nice sized portion and a good price. For the main I went for the Braised Lamb which literally fell to pieces as soon as my fork touched... more

Just returned from a short break in Ambleside and visited the Glass House twice in four nights. The food is a good step up from the traditional Lakeland fare, as is the selection of wines, and the hospitality of Neil and his team. The Goat's Cheese, Apple and Celeray quenelle starter was superb, Marinated Salmon and Chicken Breast Mains supported... more

We could not possibly fault our visit to Glass House last weekend. We booked a table with our friends to celebrate a birthday, as we had been before and had a great meal. The manager of the restaurant came over early on to welcome us and he was very entertaining - throughout the night he and the rest of the... more
