I'm rating the Glass Kitchen a 3.5 (rounded down). 3 for food and 4 for service. Read on for details. The glass kitchen is a new restaurant by chef Keith Pears in the corner of hwy 7 and West Beaver Creek. It's got modern decor with a sophisticated ambiance and a fusion menu. I was here with my 4 year old for dinner tonight. The restaurant just had a grand opening 2 days ago and we were able to get a walk in table at 530. We ordered two appetizers, a main, and a dessert. Overall, none of the dishes were memorable. Jakarta Lamb Skewers - 4 almond crusted lamb skewers served with a few dabs of satay sauce. Beautifully plated, not enough sauce. Could be improved if the lamb was marinated longer also. Burrata & Beets - Very light and refreshing salad. It contains a mix of crispy prosciutto, candied nuts, arugula, as well. It would be a perfect starter for a hot summer's day. In the dead of winter, not so much. Again it's a beautifully plated dish, but if not mixed properly there would be a lot of bland spots. It's generally not such a great idea for the customer to combine the ingredients in a dish like this. Crazy wavy gravy: The OG (with the sunny side egg replaced with hard boiled). This dish is a giant beef brisket patty on top of rice, with some gravy on the side and an egg on top. It's a solid main - the patty meat is soft and falls apart very easily. It also comes with some spicy picked cucumber cubes (Korean style) which is interesting. Ube Custard Cake - for me this was the highlight of the meal. It's a slice of what's effectively a yam tart with some blackberries on top. As someone who prefers his desserts not so sweet, this is perfect. Though I guess it fits the overall narrative that most dishes are a bit bland at this restaurant. Despite the food, I would say the service at this restaurant is attentive and the staff are very familiar with every dish - something that every restaurant should strive for but very few achieve. Just a note about the portions as well - my 4 year old and I shared the 4 items 50-50. This means I'm hungry at the end of the meal. Overall, perhaps Chef Pears should choose ingredients that better match his style, which seems to be a tendency towards delicate, more subtle flavours. Unfortunately the items I ordered (lamb skewers, beef patty) tend to work better with big bold flavours. So based on tonight's experience, at the price point they set, it's 3 for the food, 4 for the service, 3.5 average rounded down. read more

So excited I got to finally try this place and congrats on the grand opening yesterday! Who doesn't love brunch and who doesn't love an Asian fusion twist to the traditional brunch?? Located in the food central area of West Beaver Creek and Highway 7 - I absolutely love how they decorated the space. It's sleek, modern but yet still comfortable and warm. Their menu is extensive and enough variety for anybody to choose whatever they are craving for. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Short Rib Benny was delicious, eggs were cooked perfectly with a soft poach and the slow cooked short rib goes so well with the kimchi and egg sauce! Chicken and waffles is another love - with a twist on traditional waffles, they replaced with egg waffles and in black sesame! I love how the maple sauce has a soft kick in heat While I was too full to try the dessert I did manage to have some delicious biscoff latte (another fav of mine). It comes with a lotus cookie for you to dip in the latte with! So excited for this menu and congrats to chef Keith Pears on this amazing place! I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu (particularly the starters desserts and pancakes! read more

If there's one thing they've mastered, it's these visually stunning dishes. Starting strong, the Ube Custard Cake was almost too pretty to eat. It was not too sweet, and the ube portion of the dessert lacked the depth of flavor I expected from ube. The crust on the other hand was so buttery and flaky. I mostly ended up picking off the crust to munch on. Of all our dishes, the Burrata & Beets salad was hands down my favorite. A treat for the eyes and the palate. This dish was so light, refreshing, and flavourful. The dressing was slightly acidic, the greens fresh and slightly bitter as they are, but paired with the sweetness of the beets, it was a feast for the senses As stunning as these pancakes were, they were quite heavy and again lacked the flavour of ube I expected. The whipped cream was light and sweet, the ube butter was the star of this dish, slightly salty and sweet. Aesthetically, the dish was gorgeous. read more

Decided to give them place another go and the food was just as delicious as last time. We got the Yuca Fries, Korean Galbi Short Rib, GK Burger, and Grandma Jade's Chicken Cordon Bleu. My favourite surprisingly is Grandma Jade's Chicken Cordon Bleu. For someone that is very particular with their chicken, they made it so that the chicken was not too dry. The Yuca Fries were really good too. However, there were she large pieces of fiber in them that I did not enjoy. Overall, an amazing meal once again and I will definitely come back! read more

It was my first time coming here for dinner, and I enjoyed it as much as brunch! We ordered the Hokkaido Scallop Risotto, Lobster Linguine, and Tuna Fish Stack. Our servers were helpful and friendly, and quick to refill our water, and answer any questions. It was a bit cold inside of the restaurant (I think AC was still on since it was end of September), but the decor was still aesthetic and picture perfect! read more

Overall a great experience at glass kitchen. My server was Leo. He was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the lamb skewers, biscotti pancakes and fried chicken. Everything tasted amazing. Keep in mind portions are on the smaller size so if you're a big eater, you might want to add an appetizer. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 The only complaint I have is I asked for a flat white with oat milk as I'm lactose intolerant( only with fresh milk. I'm okay with cheese) . I also added some vanilla syrup so I couldn't tell at the time I was drinking cow milk. As soon as I left the restaurant, I had a really bad stomach ache so minus 1 star read more

I'd been hearing a lot of great things about this place and finally decided to give it a try. We ordered the lobster roll and lamb skewer. The lobster roll ($27) was decent, though I expected a bit more lobster. Near the bottom, it was mostly just bread. The lamb skewer ($15), on the other hand, was delicious. It had a peanut coating, and the sauce complemented the dish perfectly. The service was excellent, and the food tasted fresh. My only critique is the price (ex. Lobster roll) --I found it a bit expensive, so I'd probably reserve this spot for special occasions.. read more

Glass Kitchen is in a very busy plaza which makes parking challenge however reservations are prompt and the staff are friendly on arrival. The restaurant is very modern with its decor and lighting not to mention the dishes and flatware perfectly complement the accent colours. The food service is timely and the quality is excellent. While the menu does not indicate gluten free options there are several available if you ask the staff. The portions are also generous. We went for brunch and it's on our list for dinner sometime in the near future. read more

Really wanted to like this place but didn't deliver for me. Lobster Benedict just ok, 3/5 - Poached eggs were good but slightly more medium than soft for my dishes. -the lobster, while fresh, was not particularly flavourful, so didn't feel liek it was worth the price. Loco Moco was good overall, 3.5/5 - umami flavours, rich in soy - egg adds a good touch - slightly in the heavier note for brunch Chicken Waffles 2.5/5 - black sesame waffles were harder with crispy coating, not soft and pillowy as I like my egg waffles - fried chicken was ok. slightly bland for my liking and dry unfortunately - not really my cup of tea Coffee was splendid, would go back for this but on the higher end side. Overall, want to try them again since they had such good reviews, but was quite underwhelmed with the food we received that day. My friends also found their meals subpar. read more

After visiting a few times for dinner and also trying their brunch, I can definitely said I really recommend Glass Kitchen. Glass Kitchen is a beautiful modern, fancy and upscale restaurant that has opened their soft opening last late year and officially opened in February of this year. Situated on the left side of Commerce Gate once you turn into Commerce Gate, the decor is quite beautiful inside. They were full house every time I visited. Reservations therefore are definitely recommended and can be easily made on Google or on Yelp. I think I tried about 80% of their menus and so far, nothing has disappointed. Some of my favourites include: Jakarta Lamb Skewers (4) Peanut sauce, Almond crust, Kombucha Red Cabbage Puree, Pickled Jalapenos This starter dish was simply exquisite I really like how the flavours just complemented each other. The skewers were not overcooked nor dry and I really enjoyed the crunchiness the almond crust provided. Biscoff Pancakes for brunch Cookie Spread, Cookie Crumble, Mixed Berries & Fresh Whipped Cream OMG those pancakes were to die for and so fluffy. Portion was big and I so full for the rest of the day until dinner. Baked scones for brunch. A lot of places do not offer freshly baked scones on their menu so when I saw it, I knew I had to try it. They were freshly baked, warm and not hard at all. They were actually quite light. I think they alternate the scone flavour on their menu Biscoff Latte is a much try drink, which comes with Biscoff cookies. Again a lot of places do not offer Biscoff Latte, which is also my favourite cookie to eat The art latte was also quite photogenic and they were able to bring it later at the same time as to when the food came. I don't remember whether I was able to customize my sweetness or not ( I think I did) but I remember the drink as being smooth. Service from the staff was top notch and friendly minus one person who seemed kind of cold, aloof and seemed lost at times. My friend had to call me to find out where I was sitting inside because when she showed up and gave that person my name for the reservations, that person told my friend there was no such name in their system. Well, that is because I arrived just there a few minutes earlier and the other employee whom checked me in at the front (and was beside that person when I was at the reception area) had confirmed my name and reservation and assigned me to a table in their system before bringing me in. Not sure why that person couldn't have just double checked with their colleague(s) and made sure instead of saying to my friend no such name under that reservation existed? Anyhow, despite that minor mishap, I would still recommend to try them out for dinner or brunch. It is a little pricy but it seems to be standard like a lot of brunch places. Also, they are a very high calibre restaurant that I think it is worth that pricing. The tables at the front on one side are very close to each other so can hear your next table conversation. The tables at the back on one side aren't but I really prefer sitting in the front and I also like the waitress that mans the table at the front. Their kitchen is closed from 3pm to 5pm every day. read more

Good atmosphere and busy. Food is good but pricey. Service was great. I found the portion is smaller considering the price tag, but it's enough to fill up your stomach. Short ribs Benedict was good, the meat is very tender. Home made fries were a bit over fried but still good. The OG tastes good as well but nothing much special about it. read more

Overpriced food in a uncomfortably loud dining room. My fiancee were super excited to try out the Glass Kitchen. Aesthetically, it's definitely one of the more beautiful restaurants in the Richmond Hill/Markham area. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the decor. We didn't make reservations and were told the wait would be about 90 minutes. Luckily, there were some reservation cancellations and the waitress was kind enough to slot us in. For brunch, we ordered the Shrimp & Grits, Fried Chicken & Bubble Waffle, Biscoff Latte, and the Pom Tea. The grilled shrimps complemented the cheesey grits perfectly. Most restaurants have a tendency to overcook their shrimp to a rubbery texture, but Glass Kitchen did it justice. Surprisingly, the dish wasn't as heavy as I imagined the combo to be, partially because the portion size wasn't overwhelming. On the other end, the Fried Chicken & Bubble Waffle was largely disappointing. The chicken was overcoated and overcooked. Once you got past the crispy, crunch exterior, you were hit with a mouth of dry chicken. The black sesame waffle was too dense, and didn't have the taste nor fragrance of black sesame. It felt like the batter was too heavy, resulting in bubble waffles that felt more cake-like than anything. While the presentation was definitely remarkable, we soon realized the heavy chicken and sauce on top of the dense bubble waffles meant the waffles would be too soggy before you could finish the dish. The chili maple sauce did help to provide some complexity to the dish, but did little to alleviate for the actual chicken and waffles. The Biscoff Latte was the highlight for us, since it really tasted like the Biscoff cookie itself. Definitely give this one a try. My fiancee liked the Pom Tea, but I thought it was too sweet for comfort. Onto the decor/ambiance - overall, great aesthetic. However, the dining room was too loud since the restaurant had too many tables in close proximity to each other. My fiancee and I couldn't hear each other since everyone beside would be yelling to each other - figured they were probably going through the same experience as us. Largely disappointing if you're expecting a nice, relaxing, peaceful brunch to start off the weekend. Service was slow, the waitress wasn't attentive, so I definitely won't be back again in the near term. read more

Came here on the March break with my family after seeing it on Tiktok and Instagram. I decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint. I was astonished with the light/glass interior design of the building which lit up the restaurant especially during brunch hours. Now talking about the food. I tried the Biscoff Pancake, The OG, Fried Chicken, Biscoff Coffee, and Smoked Salmon Tartine. Although it is on the pricer end, you are complimented with one of the best brunches in the Markham/Richmond hill area. I'd say that the breakfast set definitely does not dissappoint. Not too sweet or salty. Moving on to the service, I'd definitely say it's a place that puts customers first. We were seated pretty quickly since we reserved the place, but what really made the service standout was that the host was always checking in on us if we got our items and even recommended some dishes that were popular like the OG! Overall, sweet place, check it out but make sure to reserve a spot. read more

We saw all the hype on Insta for this new Asian fusion brunch spot. It's got that swanky downtown vibe but is located in Commerce Gate! This place is super busy. I was eyeing reservations for the weekend a few days in advance all the prime lunching times were all already gone. They also don't take same day reservations. We decided to walk in anyways. The surface parking at Commerce Gate was all unsurprisingly all taken so we wound up in the underground area. We got to GK at 1pm and were quoted a wait time of an hour. The host dude looked kinda pissed at the audacity of us walking in. They will take your number down so you won't be held hostage there. It actually only took about half an hour to be seated. Service was mega slow. After ordering our food, we waited 45 minutes for it. We also all ordered drinks like Americanos and lattes. These came out one by one with intervals of like 10 minutes in between. I was a little shocked at how teeny tiny the portion sizes were. Everything was plated really nicely and made you feel like you were at a fine dining establishment though. Well, kinda, cause we were seated at the back of the restaurant next to this wall of plants and that's where they were storing a bunch of stuff. The shrimp and grits was extremely tasty, just small. I guess one plus is that it let me save room for dessert, in the form of the Coffee Lava Cake which was really freaking tasty. The Biscoff latte was also really good, just note that the only alternative milk they had was oat milk. It was a tasty meal but a little bit on the pricier side. read more

Was lucky enough to snag a reservation for Sunday brunch 2 days before. The restaurant was filled just before 12pm, but I thought it'd be busier since other brunch restaurants I've visited on weekends usually have a line and wait time. The service was mediocre, it was often hard to get the attention of our waiter but they were very vigilant at refilling our water glasses. This was my first time at Glass Kitchen and the food was a hit or miss for me at that price. The biscoff latte ($8) disappointingly didn't have a strong or unique flavour. The pork rib benny wasn't anything special either, I don't think there was enough kimchi on our order but the eggs were poached perfectly. The baked Alaska was also disappointing, the outside was too charred the burnt flavour definitely ruined the meringue and the overall taste. The biscoff pancakes were the star of the show - I would definitely come back for these. The table we sat at was a little too close to the table next to us, it was a tight fit squeezing through the tables. It was also really cold inside read more

T.DOT EATS newly opened brunch spot in Toronto is so worth the visit. The entire place is stunning and ultra modern and their menu is PHENOMENAL. We went for brunch and resos here are a must! * We tried their: - Jakarta lamb skewers ($15) - Galbi benny ($28) - Biscoff pancakes ($21) - Espresso strawberry frizz ($8) - Caffe latte ($6) * Overall I totally recommend their lamb skewers because it was the best I've ever had. It literally melts in your mouth and not to mention the almond crust and peanut sauce paired amazingly with it. A must try item for sure! * The Benny and pancakes were also super good and rich and perfect for sharing if you want to get a variety because they were loaded with flavour and were so rich and filling. * I definitely went back home on the plane in a major food coma after the meal and it was so worth it! * Glass Kitchen 505 Hwy7 unit 98 & 99 Markham ON. read more

January 6, 2024 - LOVE the decor!! I saw this on my instagram and knew I had to check it out. It can get quite busy so it's best to make reservations.

Flat White (Dry capp) ~ 4/5 my friend said it needed more foam Galbi Bennies ~ 4/5 bread was hard (still edible just hard to cut) Salmon Tartine ~ 4/5 my friend liked her dish Burrata & Beets ~ 5/5 really enjoyed the salad, everything paired well Lobster Bennies ~ 5/5 the potatoes are so yummy!!

Personally LOVED this spot. All the dishes and drinks hit the spot for brunch! Came here on a weekday for brunch with 3 people, we were first on the wait list but reservations still had precedent, so we waited 25min on the couch before being seated. Definitely make a reservation to come! We had a chance to look at the menu posted on the outside window (refer to photo) to decide while we were waiting so we were ready to order right away. I liked that the staff repeated our order back to us, and was also impressed that the staff memorized the order without writing anything down. Wait staff were quick to bring us water while the food was being prepared - being an Asian-inspired food spot, they gave the option for hot water which we gladly accepted! I'm sold. The food was served one dish at a time, and since we got everything to share they gave us sharing plates and utensils. Drinks were served first, and then we savoured each item as it came. I had no single favourite dish because all were great, but two things I would come back for are the fried chicken (on the Crazy Wavy Gravy, but you can also get it separately or on waffles) and the home fries (on the Eggs Benny). The Crazy Wavy Gravy dishes all looked good when I saw it being served at other tables, loved the rice that came with it too! My favourite drink was DEFINITELY the Biscoff latte. A must try! I will be back again to try their chicken and waffles as well as their dinner menu! Happy there were lots of parking spots, as it's in a plaza with a bunch of other food spots. Natural lighting and comfy seating all around, washrooms very clean with Aesop hand soap for washing. A great way to do Asian-inspired brunch! read more

I recently explored a new brunch spot in Richmond Hill. The interior has beautiful aesthetics with elegant glass decor, setting a charming and sophisticated atmosphere for dining. We started our brunch with the biscoff lattes, and I can confirm the impressive presentation and delightful blend!Moving on to our entrees and appetizers, the menu featured unique and well-crafted dishes, which is exciting to me as someone who loves to try creative flavours/dishes. The smoked salmon Bennies and the chicken with black sesame waffles were standouts, and even the lamb skewers won me over, despite not being a usual fan of lamb! The chef showcased remarkable skills in both the presentation and taste. Despite the bustling afternoon, the staff remained remarkably attentive. A special shoutout to Leo, our server, whose dedication went beyond our expectations! He made a very good impression for us during our dining experience. This brunch spot has swiftly become one of my go to spots, and I highly recommend it. I'm eagerly anticipating trying out their dinner menu during my next visit! read more

Service could be better. Waited a long time to be served and checked in on. Ambiance and decor was amazing. For the food itself... chicken was pink and bland. The mushroom gravy was very salty. Felt nauseous after 30mins. Other components of the food was good. Not sure if they had their liquor licence or not yet, they did not really promote their "cocktails". Food did not match the hype from tic tock or other social media platforms. read more

It's ok.the decor is nice and the food is what you can get for less money and better taste at other breakfast places. But I'll reiterate that the decor at first glance really nice. Location: In commerce flgate in the corner unit that has a large space. And it's been quite a few restaurants over the years. Decor: It's nice. They have mirrors on the ceiling in these really pretty lamps hanging. There's tables and then they have a large bench along one wall. It's covered with a pretty fabric cushion. It is very thin and kind of uncomfortable. You can feel the plywood. The chairs are kind of cheapish. But it looks great. And when you go you're going to think it looks great and you'll see in the photos everything looks great. And people are going to say it looks great because it looks great. Food: Breakfast stuff. For brunch that's when I went for brunch. I thought it was just okay. There's some interesting twists on things but it's not anything you can't get somewhere else. They charge a lot for it though. I'm not one to really talk about price. But I am so tired of places like this opening up and charging and absolute unreasonable amount of money and you get food that looks good but is just mediocre tasting. And I know people are going to argue and say how great the food is. But go and you'll see for yourself. They also had a bunch of influencers and I recognize a lot of the reviews as from them. At the time we went they didn't have a liquor license but you could buy Juice drinks that are about 8 bucks each that come in a small glass. I'm sure they'll have their liquor license soon and you'll be able to buy upcharged liquor. . read more

Food is very good. I've had the OG a couple of times and it's my favourite dish of theirs. The homes fries that come with the bennies and the hash brown fries that come with the burgers are so addictive. Service is generally excellent. Some tables in the back are a tad too close. You can't get out of your seat without asking the person behind you to scooch in a bit. Prices are fair. read more

My friend wanted to try this place out and I have to say it was a bit disappointing. The service was alright, and the server was nice but we didn't have utensils, and hard to even get someone to help. We came for dinner but they do serve brunch. I have not tried their brunch yet. The food is not as great as I thought. To us, the portions are not good to share amongst ourselves. We were told it was good to share but it wasn't. The Burger, I can say is just like any other particular burger but the meat is good, very soft and tender. Their hash brown fries I love them but not enough portions. The lobster linguine was okay not anything special. The Hokkaido scallop risotto and the cured Hamachi I would say are good out of all the foods we ordered. The fireball drink, I love it, it is exactly what the server told me and the ginger was perfect as it helped with my sinuses. As for the atmosphere, it looked good and wasn't noisy to talk amongst ourselves. read more

I went here on a Friday off with my dad after seeing some conversation about this restaurant pop up online. After reading about chef Keith Pears and looking at the menu, I thought it would be a good idea to try it out. I made a reservation (which was very easy on a weekday). Upon walking in I was very impressed by the decor - it is very modern, sleek, and reminiscent of any upscale restaurant you would see in the Toronto downtown core. We got the following: - Korean galbi short rib crazy wavy gravy: This dish was pretty lackluster. I kind of went into it knowing I wouldn't be super wowed by it, but it was very different than most of the other brunch items you would typically see. The gravy was nice and the egg was runny but the rice was a bit mushy in consistency as it was sitting in the sauce. The meat was soft but the portion overall was small. I would probably order something else if I ever came back. 6/10 - Fried chicken and bubble waffle: This is a "chef recommended" dish, and my dad is a huge fan of fried chicken, so we had to try it. It was nice, the batter was very crunchy and the meat was juicy. Bubble waffle was just an elevator gai dan zai (egg waffle) but interesting as it had a hint of black sesame for the colouring. 7/10 - Latte: A very nice, standard latte. The designs were gorgeous. 8/10 - Biscoff latte: The same as the latte above, but elevated with a nice sweet flavour. I got this one with oat milk. It also comes with a nice biscuit on the side. I think everyone should try this one. 10/10 Overall, the food was nice. However, I give this a 3 star rating as I found it heavily overpriced for the quality of food I was receiving. Furthermore, the prices of the menu items are not listed on the website, so it is somewhat of a surprise when you see it in the restaurant. I think charging these prices would be somewhat acceptable in Toronto but maybe not in Markham. This is a nice place for brunch or dinner, but I definitely can see better alternatives in the city. read more

Due to all the propaganda and social media high rating, we decided to give it a try on Friday night at 6:30pm. Without reservation, we were told to wait for an hour , so we went other places. The following day we decided to go at 5:30pm to try our luck. We got a table for an hour so that we can give a review based on the experience. Food 3/5. We ordered Lamb skewers ($15) to start, the only thing standing out is the coating and source, very unusual combination to go with lamb skewers, the lamb itself is not that memorable. For Tartine, we ordered Smoked salmon ($17) as per the recommendation of our waitress, which turned out to be a good choice. The smoked salmon is made in house, very fresh, the whole dish is quite refreshing, worth ordering. For Crazy Wavy Gravy, I don't think we made a good choice as The Og ($25) is very normal, the rice is normal, meat patty is normal, source is normal, fried egg is normal, definitely a mediocre dish from our point of view. For speciality, we ordered Hokkaido Scallop Risotto, there has been so many good reviews about it, maybe we had high expectation, it turned out to be normal as well, nothing surprisingly good, you can expect this kind of level anywhere. What can be remembered is the scallop itself flavored with BBQ charcoal. What we disliked the most is the main dish came to us with mediocre temperature, it feels they were left out on the counter for a while before bringing up to us. Or they really should warm up the plates before putting the dish inside. We believe customers deserve hot food. Service 4.5/5 our waitress was very attentive, came up to check on us a few times, very helpful, just a little forgetful. She poured water to my cup, but forgot to do it for my husband. The dishes were brought to us with explanation on each ingredient, but we wish they could put more energy into doing it. Decoration and atmosphere 5/5. Nothing to complain as they did a good job on it. read more
