I went there because it was recommended on Youtube. The atmosphere, food, and service were all good. The sushi was just sushi rolls, which was a bit creative, but the quality of the sashimi was also good. 69 pounds per person on Friday. I thought it wasn't expensive. I'm planning to go again.

A truly wonderful experience ! I recently visited the Glasshouse for the first time and had such a fantastic experience. Our waiter Samuel was incredibly helpful, attentive and offered great assistance when it came to my nut allergy. I’ve never visited somewhere that has been as accommodating with my allergy. Samuel walked me over to one of the chefs who met me personally and walked me through every single dish, explaining what to avoid - although also offered to make any dish for scratch if I was concerned there may be traces…which of course set my mind to rest. The food choice was incredible from sushi to caviar, and Indian to roasts - and the quality remained first class throughout !! The drinks were delicious and there was the most wonderful ambience…you felt you were in a 5* London restaurant. Overall, I would definitely recommend for a special occasion and will 100% be returning.

The Glasshouse buffet restaurant at the five-star Grove Hotel in Chandler’s Cross, Herts, is tremendous value at £69 per person during the week. Drinks are extra. Eva and her colleagues looked after us brilliantly, changing plates, cutlery and taking drinks orders. We ordered a bottle of Primitivo, but there was none available. La Ferme cote du Rhone was a good substitute. The big treat for me was sushi, prawn cocktail, seafood salad, caviar, smoked salmon, beetroot gravadlex, fresh anchovies, salads and cheeses. My friends ate hearty steaks and roasts. They have a sweet tooth and attacked the dessert station with a vengeance. We were the first in at 6pm and the last to leave. A service charge of 12.5% is included. This is the best of times. Roger Evans

The buffet is not up to the level that is it promoted. So over rated. Maybe it is above the standards of other buffets in the UK, but for someone who used to live in Dubai and still go back there, this is nothing compared to the buffets you get there with respect to quality and variety. I had to experience it for all what I have heard about it, but surely wouldn’t go back. Price is too expensive for what you get.

We visited today for the all you can eat buffet as a valentines day treat. Staff were attentive and solved an issue for us very quickly with the help of the manager and the head chef. The food was delicious. I couldn't eat the cheeses, cold meats or fish and sushi due to pregnancy but my husband did and said it was lovely. It was very busy in the bar and restaurant almost as if they are cramming in as many people as possible and there were long queues for the nearest toilets which is tricky when heavily pregnant. But there was plenty of food and nothing ran out Chefs on the serving stations were helpful. Will definitely go back again

The food quality here is disappointing, especially considering the price. The beef steaks are nothing more than small, unimpressive pieces of meat. The buffet selection is underwhelming, featuring cold seafood and other unappetising items that lack flavor. The Italian section is extremely limited, and nothing tastes as it should—using chorizo instead of proper pepperoni for pizza is just one example of the poor choices made here, the pizza is not cooked right and pasta is completely disgusting. This place seems to be coasting on its reputation, but when it comes to quality and taste, it falls flat. Absolutely not worth it.

I recently dined at The Glasshouse at The Grove in Watford, and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant boasts a modern and inviting atmosphere, with stylish decor that sets a warm and welcoming tone. The buffet features an impressive array of international cuisines, with live-action food stations showcasing fresh ingredients prepared right before you. From the robata grill serving succulent meats and fish to the stone oven producing hand-stretched pizzas, each station offers a unique culinary delight. The sushi station presents a sophisticated selection, and the live pasta station allows you to customize your dish to perfection. For those seeking plant-based options, there are aromatic curries, sumptuous salads, and vegan sushi, ensuring all dietary preferences are catered to. The dessert station is a highlight, featuring a stunning array of pastries, cakes, and a chocolate fountain that adds a touch of indulgence to the meal. It's the perfect finale to an already outstanding dining experience. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff ensuring that every need was met promptly and courteously. The combination of exceptional food, elegant ambiance, and top-notch service makes The Glasshouse a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy a luxurious buffet experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking a memorable meal, The Glasshouse at The Grove exceeds expectations on all fronts. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next visit.

This was our 3rd visit and was disappointing. I purchased a voucher in a charity auction at a cost considerably in excess of the face cost of the meal. Our waiter was very good. We went for our "main course" at 9:15 and there was no turkey left which really is not acceptable given that this was one of the main food stations and a main dish at this time of the year. The rib of beef was good but extremely fatty and should have been trimmed. The bench seating sagged and needs attention. I notified the Grove afterwards and received a "fob off". There are much better alternatives at the cost.

My husband and I booked the Glasshouse for our first wedding anniversary meal and we were really disappointed. Half way through eating my first plate of food, I realised the chicken shish we were eating was raw. I informed the waiter who said he would tell the manager. After a short wait, the manager Jorge came over to apologise and to let him know if there was anything he could do. As we had potentially eaten some of the raw chicken, understandably we both lost our appetite and couldn’t enjoy the rest of our meal. We noticed some staff were quite unprofessional, one of the chefs was on his phone and then touched the meat with his hands. We also heard comments from staff to let other staff members know it was me who complained. It made me feel uncomfortable and as if I was in the wrong, when serving raw chicken is completely unacceptable and can be very dangerous. We didn’t make a fuss, we just felt it was important that the manager was aware so the rest of the chicken could be removed from service. We felt like our service deteriorated after we complained, the waiters did not ask if we wanted another drink when our glasses were empty or make any conversation with us, like they were with other tables around us. When we asked for the bill, we were surprised to see that we were charged the full price. We spoke to Jorge, privately to say we didn’t feel it was right due to the circumstances. Without discussion, my meal was taken off the bill but we went on to say that it was both of our meals that were affected, as my husband also ate the same chicken. Jorge then took everything off the bill, which we were grateful for but it was not something we should have had to ask for. We would not return to the Grove to dine again, serving raw chicken is completely unacceptable, especially from somewhere which is known to have high standards and described as luxurious.

There was no beef wellington, no lobster, Indian section was like 2 items, Italian only had 2 types of pizza, roast was very dry and my shish was actually raw. service was very good however for £88 how can they be serving a buffet of such low quality. 2 people can eat much better food elsewhere.

We celebrated my birthday here recently. I had a sufficiently good time but I won't be returning. For a buffet restaurant, the service felt unnecessary and our server was too animated to the point of being almost uncomfortable. The variety was OK, but I've had better. The quality of the food was a bit hit and miss. Some items were lovely and some were just bland. The dessert section was good though. The level of hygiene was questionable. Every other plate was dirty. The cost for two people exceeded £200 without alcohol, which I felt was excessive. They even had the audacity to charge us for the service. It was a self-serve buffet, FFS. Resident breakfast was served at the Glasshouse too and that was really good. Avoid buffet lunch or dinner, but definitely go for the breakfast.

I didn’t really appreciate the extraordinary fees here if I’m honest. Paid £99 each for basic Sushi, Roast & Indian. When it comes to food you’d get a better experience and chains like SushiMania, Toby Calvery & your local Indian restaurant at a fraction of the cost. Left their felling robbed and cheated. Expected so much more. The service is okay, The restaurant itself had good decor and nice ambiance. But everything else was just very basic the food didn’t make you go “WOW I’ve never tasted anything like this” It I was an absolute tighty with money I’d be in two minds to do a chargeback with my bank for unsatisfactory dining.

For £88 I expected better. The food is nice and the quality is good. But it is pricey for a few stations. The beef wellington was not on the menu neither were the lobster which you see on socials. At best this is worth £60-£65 per head. This has clearly blown up because of Netflix and social media. Is it as amazing as it’s portrayed? no. Is the quality of the food good? yes. So it’s really down to the individual as to whether they would want to see what the hype is about. I would say pay a bit more and go to a Michelin star restaurant instead, rather than a buffet.

Honestly, this place is all style and no substance. The hotel is gorgeous, but the food is horrendous, and I’ve never been so disappointed by a supposedly “high-end” restaurant. It’s massively overhyped, and I won’t be recommending it to anyone. In fact, I’ll be actively telling everyone to stay away. As a huge foodie, I never leave food behind — but I couldn’t even stomach my first plate. The chicken shish, beef Wellington, potatoes, and tandoori potatoes were all dreadful. The meat was dry and tasteless, the flavors were nonexistent, and the only thing I could choke down were the potatoes. Then I tried the stir fry. The chicken looked grey and gross, like it had been sitting out for hours. The rice and chicken korma were bland and forgettable — nothing remotely impressive. Even the naan was a letdown. To make matters worse, we were charged the service gratuity twice on the bill. When I pointed it out, the waiter tried to pass it off as VAT. After I called him out, he changed his story, claiming it was a “mistake” and offered a new bill. And to top it off, my friend was violently sick after leaving — a clear sign of how terrible the food really was. The Grove Glasshouse is a complete disaster. Avoid it like the plague. The food, service, and overall experience were a joke. Save your money and go anywhere else.

In the opinion of the whole UK, the buffet provided by this restaurant is rich and delicious. Every food is very tasty. There are many types of sashimi. Different sashimi will be provided at different times, but there are fewer types compared to seafood. Some hot dishes such as fish soup noodles or barbecue are made on order. It is a good place to celebrate festivals, but the price is relatively high and the value for money is not good.

EDYTA , with her cheerful sense of humour, took our wine order The food, well hard to know where to start. What did we chose? Well everything! The choice is massive and small portions of a little of what you like just when you like means you can try lots of different delicious flavours without getting over full One of our party is a chef. He was well impressed. We all were. There is simply no place like this restaurant near its location and though not cheap, good value Here you get what you pay for and it makes menus boring and redundant when you have an entire kitchen of chefs and dishes all in front of you And they even sang Happy Birthday and gave me a cake with candles Nice touch . .

The overall experience was lovely. This was our first time here and the atmosphere and food was top notch. There are multiple food stations, covering majority of the main international cuisines, from cold food to hot food, including cheese and dried meat sections. Everything is fresh and made/cooked in front of you, including the Sushi, Steaks & Pasta. They also employ an expert chef for each regional section by the looks of it. The dessert section is out of this world. Everything is homemade and you can tell it is high quality due to the flavour and attention to detail. Even the marshmallows are fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive, always checking in if we have everything. Only little feedback i’d have, is the drink menu. The wine list is great, along with the spirit list however it was missing good choices of cocktails on the restaurant drinks menu. Not sure if there was another menu? Also - We paid £82pp (higher price over the £68) but there was no Wellington or Lobster but that’s not a deal breaker. I think you really do get the quality and food for the price. Recommended and will be going back again!

Whilst there isn't an abundance of choice, there is still good options, including desert. The service is 10/10 with excellent vibes.

5th time at The Glasshouse. It's my wife's favourite restaurant and a birthday treat every year in October. Looking forward to next year already.

My partner and I visited for our anniversary and were stunned at how beautiful everything was. I have allergies and the servers were amazing, we spoke to the head chef who walked me around every station and pointed out what I couldn’t eat, which was very little, and we came away very full and satisfied. Most certainly be recommending to anyone who will listen. Thank you for everything.

We were there yesterday (Monday). The service is good. The food...It's a buffet and just average. Definitely not for food lovers. The price is far too high for the quality offered.

2nd time round and to be only disappointed for the UK's most expensive buffet NOT to have the Beef Wellington! However, Service, ambience is great. The only highlight to be honest was the dessert station, the rest was just plain - Didn't wow compared to Vegas buffets (only comparing the price here)..

The food quality is no question very good I wouldn’t say excellent but it is very good. The presentation of the sushi, and fish section looks great but I don’t like cold fish so I didn’t try anything from here. The main food stations consist of Indian, pasta/Italian, roast and a mixed possible bbq fusion type station. Overall there is enough to eat but I think it’s limited variety and could be so much better. The Italian station - would of been nice to see some stone baked pizza variety, or fresh burratta, bruchesctta or something. Indian station disappointed me the most. Where is the chicken tikka or biryani or chaat, no authentic samosa or pakora. The chicken korma sauce was tasty but I found the shredded chicken in the sauce very off putting. You get a better meal at M & S! Roast station I was hoping to see beef wellington or a juicy roast beef joint but I had very dry turkey. Lamb looked tasty but I dont eat lamb, the potatoes weren’t very crispy or tasted very fresh side vegetables were ok. Was hoping to see items like steak cuts, or quality burger or something authentic station like Mexican, tapas or something else. The seating area is ok, not very clean quite badly stained seats, it can get very loud. The buffet area is relatively small so it can get a bit crammed but you will have enough time to eat perhaps it’s because there’s not a massive selection. Plates not the cleanest I also found the servers at each buffet station so unfriendly and un polite. If you asked a question it was an abrupt ‘no’ or yes. There is also a desert section which again is ok. I think it should include basic tea and coffee. You won’t leave hungry but you may leave feeling that something was missing. There was T anything that I thought ‘oh wow this is amazing’ it was simply ok. For approx £200 for two people you have to ask yourself is it worth it? Or would you be better off going to a al a carte fine dining restaurant. Also for a self service buffet I’m not sure how a service charge added to your bill is justified I think this should be optional. Venue is very pleasant parking is very difficult with not the best helpful parking staff outside. Staff on the inside not the most at tentative so if you’re not sure where to go good luck trying to find someone. The grounds are pleasant enough to stroll around. Toilets are really small and does not cater for volume of people visiting. Staff were very welcoming for us once we were seated. This review may come across fussy but your paying for was at is supposedly high end cuisine. It’s got to be better than this.

Beautiful food coupled with Vera’s attentive yet relaxed and friendly service meant we had a very lovely leisurely Sunday lunch. The wine was delicious and the cheese course needs a special mention. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday.

As I had specified that it was an 18th birthday celebration, they brought a mini piece of cake with a candle and glasses of prosecco. This was unexpected, and a lovely gesture!

It is a quite a diverse buffetWhat sets this one apart is that none of the dishes are 'buffet quality' You can tell that while it is all you can eat all the dishes have been made with lots of care and effort. I wouldn't be surprised to be served these dishes in a fine dining restaurantFantastic service as well

Saw the Netflix series Million Dollar Buffet so booked to celebrate 2 birthdays (son and myself) Enquired if the Thursday dinner would feature the beef wellington as on tv. We were told there should be. Nevertheless we wanted a confirmation, called again and was told they would call us back to reconfirm but never did. On the day we were very disappointed as was told beef wellington would only be for Saturday To add to the disappointment, the food selection was so badly presented as per photos. We were the early for 630pm so it wasn't due to guests messing them up. After we paid for the dinner and as we were leaving, 2 small pieces of cake with a candle was brought out. We didn't finished them as they tasted stale and felt like it was taken from the previous buffet. Dinner came to £315 Now new head chef offered us a discount to come back for another dinner Would you spend another £200 after the initial £315 ???

I've seen reviews about how expensive is the Glasshouse but clearly who said that is because can't recognise the quality after the quantity. Food here taste like food because their suppliers are the best you can find and chefs too. But honestly I'm not here to speak the obvious. I am leaving this review for Charlie the waiter. I've been observing him all night and, as hospitality operator myself, I found him absolutely amazing. He's not a waiter but a performer of one of the most iconic roles in high class restaurant. Is not about his smile and his positive vibes ; is about his moves very accurate and elegant. He looks after his tables, never stressed and he never stop smiling ( not even when you are not at the table and he shapes your napkin ). Charlie if you're are reading this message please don't give up, continue your personal development because you have a bright future in this industry. I hope management is already aware of his potential.

Truly crazy variety of the buffet, both at breakfast and lunch. Very good overall quality, perhaps you just need to pay a little attention to the crudités because a raw prawn didn't really have a great color. Attentive and courteous staff
