Why Travelers Love The Glass
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Great wee spot, amazing atmosphere, stunning view of the sky tower, friendly tentatively staff. The cocktails were delicious, we had some snacks - lamb skewers and waffles, OH MY LORD the waffles!! So tasty! Lamb was a little fatty but great flavours. Would have liked a better beer tap selection (any of the amazing nz craft beers) but this seems to be a theme in all Auckland bars. Will definitely go back! I had an event at the baxters lounge and everything went perfectly. My friends and family had a great time. We danced, ate and drank great cocktails made by Juanita. The bartender was great vibes and was super accommodating to us. I thank the team for making my birthday so special and exactly the way I imaged it I went to Glass Goose for dinner with my partner and 3 other friends. The portion size was good, the meals were tasty and well presented (don't miss out on the desert, they are yummy and large - maybe a little too large if that's possible). Very friendly and professional service, a nice interior fit-out and great atmosphere and good value - I will definitely return

Glass Goose was delicious, loved the setting would recommend the potato skins and pork belly. Good amount of Gluten Free options. Great service by Lee, super attentive and gave good suggestions! All round great experience 👌

My friends and I had a great experience at the glass goose, thanks particularly to the amazing staff member Steff. She was so kind and helpful and amazingly organised and professional despite being over stretched on a shift where perhaps the restaurant was busier than expected. We had delicious food, and a lovely experience and will definitely return!
