About Glasshouse Bexleyheath

Glasshouse Bexleyheath is an Italian restaurant on Avenue Rd offering European dishes alongside its pasta and pizza, from risottos and steaks to a large selection of fish and vegetarian options. Mezze and charcuterie platters open the meal, and small plates run alongside an expansive wine menu. Bruschetta and butterfly king prawns are recurring starters, with tiramisu and steak and chips among the repeated mains and desserts. A set menu is offered for group celebrations, and the room has hosted family functions and birthday meals for larger parties. The kitchen finishes each meal with a complimentary limoncello. Reservations are required, and the restaurant is closed on Mondays and at lunchtimes through the rest of the week.

Customer Review Summary

The tiramisu draws the most praise, repeatedly singled out as good with one reviewer calling it up there with the best they've had, though a separate visit found it dry. Close behind, the butterfly king prawns get consistent approval for being cooked well and flavorful, while pizzas are described by multiple diners as fine but unremarkable, with nothing that stood out. Several celebratory visits, including a 50th birthday and a Valentine's dinner with a young child, describe high chairs arranged in advance, early food service, and a set menu praised as reasonably priced. Service is generally called friendly and attentive, though one visit noted a rushed order-taking with only one staff member working. A recurring complaint centers on decline: one reviewer describes being served ribeye instead of the fillet steak they ordered, forcing them and their dining companion to eat 20 minutes apart, and noting the restaurant was nearly empty compared to its previously busy reputation. Another describes a cold dining room that a waitress offered to address. One dinner closed with a complimentary limoncello offered as a parting touch.

    “This restaurant is normally closed on a Monday also lunch times through the week. But Luke the owner opened for 6 of us to have a meal together as two of our friends had come back from Australia to visit. The restaurant was very clean, food was delicious and Luke couldn’t do enough for us. So if you think the restaurant isn’t open do ring and get booked in. A family function would be good there too. Let’s support our local restaurants. We will go back again. Thankyou Luke & Chef x”

    “Really dont like leaving bad reviews but feel other people need to realise how far this restaurant has fallen. Glasshouse used to be a buzzing restaurant with friendly family atmosphere, food was always spot on. Unfortunately this is not the case anymore. Ordered fillet steak was served up a piece of ribeye! Sent it back for the correct cut of steak. This meant me and my wife had to eat our meals 20mins apart. I would understand if the restaurant was busy as mistakes can be made but we were one of TWO tables in the whole restaurant that were eating, 8pm on a Saturday night the place used to be packed with diners, now I can see why it’s pretty much empty. A real shame”

    “We booked a table for 4:30. So the restaurant was empty when we arrived. The place was nice and clean inside. The waitress was really nice and attentive. I didn't catch. Young girl, glasses. Very smiley, nice warm person. We ordered the bruschetta and butterfly prawn starters. Both good. I ordered the steak & chips. My mum ordered the pizza. I enjoyed the steak, sauce and the mushrooms. Not so much the chips. They tasted oily. My mum liked the pizza. I tried a bit of that too. Tasted nice. Nothing special tbh. The tiramisu was good. I would order that again. Last thing. It was quite cold in there. Again, the waitress immediately said she would sort this out but we were already going by then. I would definitely go back. I Would like to try the lamb chops next time.”
