    Absolutely loved my experience at Dirty Habit Glass House! The food was excellent, the ambiance was stunning, and the service was top-notch. The whole place is beautifully designed and has such a cute, inviting vibe. The only minor downside is that the bathroom is on the 3rd floor, but it’s a small inconvenience for such a fantastic spot. Overall, I had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

    Yes to start off we was greeted and checked in a little before our reservations. We had a drink before our table I had the whiskey clover she had the cucumber gimlet. Both very good we then got seated our server was Erma she did an excellent job. As far as the food everything was great that we ordered has the jumbo lump crab cake and calamari for appetizers. Both very good. For entree we split the lamb chops and she had New York strip I had the 12 oz manhattan wagyu with a South African lobster tail stuffed with crab, everything taste amazing. For sides we had the whipped potatoes and asparagus would recommend both. Over 5/5 it’s worth it Erma did a great job would definitely come back.

    I am vegan and the server had no problem making sure my meal was dairy-free and meat-free. She even told me there was fish broth in the Miso Soup, which I didn’t order due to her honesty. I think the restaurant should include the fish broth on the list of ingredients on the menu. Every ingredient should be listed when it comes to meat, diary or any spice with heat (cayenne, chili, etc.). Good food, good service. I have never had a bad meal here.

    Outstanding as always. The service was excellent and the food was served hot! All was excellent, especially given it was Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was well prepared for a busy evening.
