Glass Monkey - Edmonton

Dropped in on a Monday night with friends for a bite to eat. Had the butternut soup of the day and the pulled pork taco special. I wasn't up for a big meal and chose just the one taco. Soup and taco were just the right amount. The others shared a beet salad and the mushroom pizza with slices of tomato on top. And one salmon meal. All very tasty. We all shared Jack's bread pudding for the final delicious ending to a fun time.As for the drinks; the beer list is open to many choices and the wine choices kept the ladies happy.Always a great choice when you're in the mood to go out for supper.

Last week I went to Glass Monkey for the first time. I had a bit of time to kill before my plans so we just went in for a quick drink and some appetizers. They are located in a small strip so there is an ample amount of parking. Housemade Ricotta. First, we got their housemade ricotta, which comes with an apricot chutney, and sunflower seeds. This is served along side some bread. Overall, and pretty light and easy dish to share. I think the bread could have been toasted a little bit, but overall, really easy and good to eat. Great appetizer for only $5.50!

Extremely friendly staff, great food and relaxing patio for a nice evening. Nice selection of adult drinks paired with lite snacks or large plates.

Dinner at the glass monkey. Restaurant is busy for a Wednesday night. Hosted and wait staff are friendly and quick to serve. Sea breeze, alley Kat and red wine to start. Followed by five cold shareables, beet and arugula salad, salt and pepper chicken wings, all to share. Cold shareable are small potions to try. The size of tapas. Humus, kettle chips, ricotta, pickles, parsnip purée served with bread and gluten free crackers. Beet salad is beets covered with greens and the chicken wings come with token carrots and celery with a side of ranch. Flavors are above average. Dessert is gluten free cheese cake and bread pudding. Cheese cake is great. Bread pudding is served warm and is garnished with whip cream, average flavor. Service was great throughout our meal, conversations, jokes, answering our questions from all staff who walked by our table.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed Glass Monkey, we sat at the bar and the servers were very nice, friendly and provided excellent service. When the food came out, I was delightfully surprised by the large portions for the price I paid. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place.
