Glass House — Restaurant in Cambridge

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at Glasshouse in Cambridge, and from a photographer’s perspective, this venue is truly a gem. My one criticism of restaurant weddings is flow - with spaces that aren’t designed to be wedding venues, moving from cocktail hour, to dinner, to dancing can be a logistical challenge. Glasshouse avoided this entirely with its spacious layout and intentional design. The minimalist design, exposed ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling windows provided a visually striking backdrop. As a photographer, it’s always exciting to work in a space this beautiful.

One of the standout features was the large, beautiful entryway that hosted cocktail hour and dancing. The high ceilings and open layout made this area feel spacious and inviting, while also providing plenty of room for guests to mingle and celebrate. Coupled with the dedicated dining space which was kept hidden from guests until dinner, the flow was impeccable. The transition between the outdoor space, to cocktail, to dinner was seamless, and although the venue felt intimate, it never became crowded.

Overall, Glasshouse offers a wonderful balance of style, intimacy, and flexibility. Whether indoors or out, the space provides countless opportunities for capturing special moments in a setting that feels both modern and timeless. I highly recommend it for couples looking for a venue that blends industrial charm with a touch...

Housed in what once catered solely to private events, Glass House offers a serene, upscale tavern-like ambiance in Kendall Square.

I first came here for a group lunch and came back to try their weekday lunch. Since the place doesn’t attract a lot of diners during lunch times, I was able to enjoy a relaxed and quiet dining experience. The outdoor patios further augmented the appeal, offering a more casual vibe.

From their appetizers, the Crispy Spicy Tuna Roll was a warm introduction to the meal – crispy, flavorful, with the tang of pickled ginger and the kick of wasabi, albeit a bit on the pricier side. The Glass House Burger followed suit, simple in its essence but executed well, with juicy patties adorned with bacon jam and cheddar.

However, the Poke Bowl felt disjointed – sushi rice overly saturated with miso soy dressing, mangoes lacking ripeness, and salmon diced a tad too finely. Since it was a bit pricey for a poke bowl, I had high hopes, but it was quite disappointing.

Despite the uneven food experience, where Glass House truly shines is its ambiance. Its expansive feel and tranquil atmosphere make it an ideal spot for group gatherings or anyone seeking a serene space for dining or drinks. Just be prepared for a menu that might not always match up to the...
