This was a phenomenal experience for my husband and I! Sitting at the chef’s counter, interacting with Executive Chef Tichafa Chingombe and Sous Chef Jeffrey Jolivain made it a personable moment. The food dishes were amazing, the glass artwork was divine, and the drinks were delicious. This is easily a 20/10 date night and restaurant to dine at.

I’m a little late on the review but better late than never. I want to give a heartfelt thanks to the Glasslight team for making my honeymoon week (late October 2024) special. My family and I enjoyed a wonderful meal and easily the best cocktails in the area. The bartending team were all wonderful and I had the opportunity to introduce myself and speak with Hunter for a bit. The drinks are classic, and the menu was innovative. I LOVED the Milk Punch & The Fox Wedding. I’m a sucker for Chartreuse so seeing it on a menu was really exciting. This was our fourth visit to Glasslight and it was by far the most consistent restaurant experience in Norfolk. The food was on another level. I can’t even begin to explain how blown away my family and I were. The Wild Mushroom Risotto & Squid dish were everyone’s favorite, and my in-laws even ordered a burger to go and said they loved it! I loved the dining experience as well. The server cleared each course professionally and without us even noticing. I never once asked for anything. One of my favorite touches were the fresh napkin presented at my seat, perfectly folded every time I walked away from the table. It was inspiring and is now something I do at my restaurant during service, such a great touch! Highly highly highly recommend this restaurant, and I’m looking forward to my next visit as we intend on staying at the Hotel as well hopefully within the next month or two. Cheers folks!

Started with cocktails. We were there right when the bar opened. The bar tenders were still prepping for a shift but continuously gave us attention and engaged in conversations. Cocktails were delicious. We ordered food - it came fast and made to our request- low sodium. Very nice atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon.

As a local (I live only a few blocks away) I've never stayed in the hotel, but I always recommend it for visitors. BUT I do dine at the restaurant and pop in for a cocktail regularly. The menu is fairly limited, but everything on it is very good. Cocktails are excellent too, especially when made by AMANDA! The last time I dined there, the staff knew I had just gotten married, and there was a personal card from the staff congratulating us waiting at the table when we arrived. That kind of personal connection is rare these days. The Glass Light would be special for just those reasons alone, but on top of that, it houses one of the best private collections of glass art in the country, which is on display in the lobby and in the 2-story gallery next door. The collection includes some of the top names working in glass today, and is a MUST SEE for anyone interested in the art of glass. (There is more glass art in the hotel for guests too.)
