Nice atmosphere but music was very loud. Waited for a table for 10 minutes even tho there were plenty available. Food was average. Not great, staff did not ask if everything was okay with food. Was okay but won’t rush back.

A treat for the grandkids as it is the sort food they would enjoy. I have visited this establishment many times hence my return. Being allocated our seating area was the highlight of our experience from then it was down hill. It became obvious that we were the 'chosen ones' and selected for shockingly poor service. 4 tables that were allocated after us had their orders taken, drinks provided and were tucking into their starters and we were still waiting for the first part the drinks order to be taken......you may ask why we did not complain or leave at that point, I refer you to the opening line, 'A treat for the grandkids, the last thing I wanted to do was spoil their day. Eventually the drinks did arrive, after the starter had arrived which had been dumped on the table as the waitress ran to attend to her friends. The main course arrived after several requests and an ice age and landed like frisbee's (yes we had pizza). A request for further drinks was met with a blank expression......15 minutes later and several more requests for the extra drinks as we were still waiting for them the waitress arrived with the sweet menu and when reminded of the drinks....looked baffled. 10 minutes further on (this is now 25minutes) I asked the lead waiter for the area we we sitting (I had figured out whom he was due to him moving tables around for no apparent reason then moving them back all in a bid to look busy) he just waved us away and pointed at the waitress, luck was changing, she came to the table with tempting coca cola bottles, the grandkids were happy but this was not the case, she arrived with a snide smirk with empty bottles they were empties enrouteto the bin. Staff from other sections had been watching and were apologetic explaining that they were unable to help as the lead waiter would 'kick off. Enough was enough, no round of drinks after repeated requests and no sweets had arrived either it was time to leave......I went to see the lead waiter and explained the situation......his rely was curt...."Do you want me to pay for this out of my own pocket so my kids will starve?"....my reply was polite, i recused to pay and requested the duty manager......with a snort and a grunt, he took me to the main bar area, dumped the contactless device on the bar and handed me over to the barman.....I requested once again the manager, no one would attend to me.......for this glorious attentiveness I was refusing to pay. I did later, telephone the duty manager or the dishwasher whom assured me he would get back to me.......of course with the same attention as above. You may ask why did I not explode beforehand? Again, this was a fun day for the grandkids I did not want to spoil it. Needless to say you have lost a very good customer.

Called in on the off chance for a meal, just the two of us..The meal you couldn't fault, delicious, and not badly priced.The surroundings were clean and tidyBut obviously call in midweek and it wasn't busy, a table of 3 and a party of 8, then us 2...the music was really loud and not typical of a Italian restaurant, it would not have been louder if we went to glastonbury, and counted 13 staff for the amount of customers in...When we mentioned about the loud music to our server, who along with other waiting staff that were dancing to the music, she replied that if she listened to any more Italian music she would be sick of it....So apart from the dancing waiting staff, bar staff jumping over the bar, the very loud music and the fact that we felt rushed to finish our meal as the staff only get paid till 9pm and clearly couldn't wait to clear the table when we left as some of them had their own coats on ready to leave and along with ourselves ushered out the side door....won't be back until we hear things have changed dramatically...It a shame that the surroundings, attitude of staff and attention to the customer needs didn't match the food otherwise it would have been excellent....

The Glass House at Cramlington has become a firm favourite of ours for many reasons. The menu has a good choice and is very reasonably priced. We love this place for so many reasons like its lunchtime special 3 course, the steak night which really is superb value for money and very tasty, the delicious and amazing sunday carvery beautifully presented, the fun and hilarious entertainment nights with the amusing Simo its always a good giggle, the sweet treats and puds are a delight. I could go on.....The restaurant is big with lots of character and atmosphere and above all the staff are great, they really are, nothing is too much trouble for them, they are warm friendly and welcoming, ever watchful and attentive and the service really does make it one of the best places to go whatever the occasion with something to suit everyone, I suggest asking for Simo, he always seems to have his eye on the ball, zipping around from table to table, pleasant, cheery and incredibly good at his job nothing is too much trouble for him, from start to finish its a joy.

visit 28.8.19 this was our first visit to the glass house, first, this place is enormous! we almost passed it by as it is so low profile with very tinted windows. food, starters were good, mine was lovely, in fact i haven't had a better chicken liver pate in my life! main was chicken kiev, which was ok, sauce was bit bland. partner had the chicken with what tasted like a blue cheese sauce, dessert menu arrived and it was only cake, no ice cream or other desserts on it which was strange as ice cream is on the lunch menu? overall probably a 4 out 5 if it wasn't for the fact, waitresses kept coming every 5 minutes to see if my partner was finished which was extremely annoying so you lose a star. ***/*****. i would still go back though as food was pretty good

Visited here last Saturday with my partner and in laws for dinner, booked for 8pm. Table not ready upon arrival but waited for 10minutes happily enough. Ordered starters, mains and desserts, all were tasty and came in good time. We were enjoying the band they had on who were fantastic until they let a customer I presume who had had a few too many to drink get on the mic. She then preceded to call her friend a d**k***d, divvi and a c**t on the mic. They they let her sing a full rendition of Adele’s someone like you. Utterly unacceptable, there were families with children. Overall service and food average but let down by the language.

We visited here last night for my daughter's birthday. We were greeted by a waiter telling us our table wasn't ready because they phoned to confirm we were still coming and the phone number I gave was incorrect. Not sure why they needed to confirm as I had booked the table. We were then shown to our table by a very hurried waiter who ran off ahead. We sat at our table and could not hear each other because of the very loud music. I asked the waitress to turn the music down, this she did, but in my opinion the music was still too loud for a restaurant. The waitress took our order, she was the most unenthusiastic waitress I've met and I felt we were putting her out by eating there.

When you go out for dinner it's nice to have some background music, it's even better when it's live background music, however, if the volume is so loud that you literally can't hear the waiter taking your drinks order and you can't have a conversation with the person next to you, it really ruins it. This coupled with the dramatic waiter who shouted at us from 50 yards away (in a fake Italian accent) if we wanted a table for two, made for a vey stressful experience. It was a bit of shame that the singer and guitarist were so loud as they were actually really good but it was just to much.

You get so much meat, if you want pork you can even ask him for some of the hard crispy totally beat bit!!!!!!! You also get a sausage then you help yourself to your veg, potatoes etc, the Yorkshire pudding are not only huge but delicious. Definitely worth a visit. Love this place. Xxx

Well, from the outside the place looks quite inviting, from what I heard I understand it has been revamped recently? The layout inside is unique with varying seating options which makes it a bit quirky! It was Halloween night so staff were dressed in Halloween costumes and they looked amazing. They had also made an effort with the Halloween decorations all over the restaurant. Staff were quite friendly and they were all willing to help. There were colourful cakes by the entrance which I am sure tasted delicious.

Midweek specials excellent value and a pleasant experience when in small party of say 4. Sunday lunches are a chaotic experience with multiple staff confusing each other and forgetting orders.. Carvery is very good but when we were there they kept running out of various side items and di not replace them. Also much more expensive than other Sambuca outlets. On Sunday the noise was horrendous. Music far too loud and staff shouting and carrying on to add to the noise levels and confusion instead of actually doing what they are paid for which is to serve customers efficiently.

Well this is the 4th visit to the glass house and will be our last. Each time we've been we have been told that they have ran out of certain food items, before we have even sat down. Today was no exception. Salmon was off as were the lamb koftas, and the place had hardly anyone in. We were shown to our table asking for 2 pints of coke. Only Diet Pepsi so I asked for a pint of orange and lemonade. Got a half!! . Ordered chicken mayo baguette and hubby ordered meat feast pizza. We waited quite awhile but eventually it came. I asked for a pint of orange and lemonade, again. My sandwich was a sickly gooey constiency. There must have been half a jar of mayo on it. Hubbys pizza looked nice, but as he started eating it he realised dough base was raw. We tried for 5 mins to catch there attention, in the end I gave up and went to see the girl at the bar. Pizza was taken away and new one ordered. I was still waiting for drink. I had to ask again if I could have my drink, and once again I got a half. Obviously it's only lager and beer that comes in pints. I ate half my baguette, but had to admit defeat as my mouth was an oil slick with mayo, very unpleasant. Hubbys pizza arrived after I'd finished and my plate removed. Honestly I have never seen a base on pizza like it, and it was still soggy in middle. He ate just under a third and left the rest. The service was very poor, waiting an eternity for drinks and getting wrong size every time. Food disgusting, which is a real shame as place is lovely, it just needs staff that know how to run it, but more importantly chefs that can cook. I could do better. They need to get food in to cover every eventuality, and not constantly run out of stuff. We won't be back. So if you do decide to visit, be forewarned. You will wait, you will be told they have run out of food, and food will probably be sent back !!!

Upon entering the (empty) bar there was a sign saying cash only! Seems a bit strange that others have said they have only accepted cash on other occasions. There was hardly any stock behind the bar and nothing on draught. Flat diet coke served and returned and watered down cocktail filled with ice for £6.50. We were told there was no steak, fish, lamb kebab or salmon. The food we did get was next to inadequate, my partners meal sent back and my sister received cold chicken! We didnt stay long and went somewhere else for dessert. My guess is they havent paid their supplier bill on time. I seriously wouldnt bother going to their establishment again, it is running on empty and wouldnt be surprised if it was closed in six months time. The staff seemed utterly embarrased too. Absolutely shocking.

Went in to meet up with a few friends and was massively disappointed. Saw a lot of hype on Facebook and other ads. Turned up and was told immediately by the bar staff that they had not a single beer on draught. The only draught they had was Strongbow. Asked about bottled beers and all they had was Heineken, Bud & Corona. The Wetherspoons around the corner has a much wider selection for a fraction of the price. I would like to comment on the atmosphere but we were the only ones in there. The only redeeming quality is that it was warm and well decorated. Thy really need to take a look at how things are run if they don’t have ANY draught drinks. Very disappointed, won’t be returning.

8 of us visited the Glass House today for Mothers Day and all had the three course Sunday lunch menu, food was lovely and really was value for money! The staff went above and beyond to make sure all of our requirements were met, there obviously is the odd issue behind the scenes but the staff did everything they could to make sure we had a great time.

Was taken today for Mothers day lunch what a complete disappointment . Couldn't tell you what the food was like as we walked out before we even had the starter . There was 5 starters to choose from but 2 were unavailable , after waiting 35 minutes our starters of garlic mushrooms to be brought, the waitress came and apologised and said there would be a further delay . We just paid for our drinks and left . If this is the way they treat customers they won't last long.

This was my first visit and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the “light bites” we ordered before the cinema. We had potato skins to share and then each had a kebab. Mine was satay chicken and came with beautifully tender cooked chicken on a delicious pitta bread with salad. It wasn’t served with satay sauce or had any sauce on it but it really didn’t matter as it tasted very good anyway.

We went to The Glasshouse in Cramlington for some cocktails a couple of Fridays ago, it was freezing cold inside & the cocktails honestly tasted like there was zero alcohol in them, they weren't made in front of us & took literally 2 minutes for them to come to the table, could only pay cash no card payments, Also you cant leave negative comments on their Facebook page as they just delete them so here I am telling people this way. Stick to The Four Ladies for your cocktails people, made in front of you & they actually put alcohol in them you can taste it

Mind blown. Ordered a Merlot and a Chardonnay to be be told they had NO WINE. This place will be closed within 6 weeks and I don't know why. It's like they made an amazing effort getting the venue ready and then abandoned the place to fail. Bizarre.

We went in after we’d been to the cinema with our three year old little boy to get him some tea and have a drink ourselves. The place was quite empty so we figured we’d get served quite quickly. We were asked to find our table and the member of staff brought our menus over. A young waiter came to take our drinks order and we asked to order food at the same time - we ordered a children’s sausage meal (the menu said it came with chips and beans and a drink and desert for £5) some potato skins and onion rings to share and two beers. Below I have listed all the things that made our experience less than adequate.

Having had a previous poor eating experience at The Glasshouse not long after it opened, where service was very slow and food lukewarm, we decided to give it another try for Sunday lunch.

Went for a meal and a few drinks with the other half last night. It took nearly 40 mins to get a drink and close to an hour to get our starters and only after we had to ask. The starter was average at best and not what was stated. The main then took a further 30 mins and I sent mine back as the chips were no better McDonald's and the ribs were poor. I also ordered extra peppercorn sauce and this was only half full. When I spoke with the manager he did reduce our bill. The staff were all friendly and the band was top notch. Think the glass house needs to decide whether it's a bar or a restaurant as it's not working as both.

I have been in here probably about 6 times. The last three times have been terrible. Once I went on a lunchtime with work and they had no coke or blackcurrant squash.

Let sum up the management problems here, no fresh mint for cocktails, follow that with no potatoes for chips and no steak. The customer service is deplorable to boot!

After reading some of the issues rumoured about the place lately, me and my wife decided to give it ago as we were coincidentally passing by. We walked in and the lady on the host desk was great, warm welcoming friendly atmosphere, we ordered a mac n cheese burger and salmon fillet both of which were incredible, one of the nicest meals we have had in a long time! We will most certainly be back!

Very nice place, lovely decoration however it’s a shame about the service. 2 cocktails for £8 is too much for the amount you get but no where says they both have to be the same so beware of that. The service is very slow and we were left hungry as it was so slow, will not be visiting again.

I came across the Newcastle one this afternoon and while visiting an Aunty she brought me here lol I want shares in the place please !!! Great food service was good I had no issues I’ve seen some of the other reviews not sure what happened but my visit was fine and my Aunty said she’s been 4 times and never had any issue. That’s our opinion we loved no problems and cracking cocktails again so where’s my shares now hahaha

The Glass House has the potential to be fabulous. It has a late licence and also a licence to play live music. All good so far. There is door staff who were polite and friendly and a reassuring presence.

My husband and I visited to celebrate our wedding anniversary and left wishing we’d never bothered. Lots missing from the menu when we tried to order, although we were not told this when seated. Raw chicken served for starters and when returned told by staff it was fine to eat. Overpriced sirloin steak served with bones in it!!! Never once did staff ask how food was, nor were we asked if we would like more drinks. Completely over priced and terrible customer service. Will not be back and would highly recommend anyone contemplating visiting to save their money. Really not worth it at all!

Thank you to the team for a welcoming experience on a very busy hot day, especially to Marcus who kindly found us a table for 2 rather than turn us away. Delicious meal well presented. Bonus was the
