My sister and I came here a few weeks ago and it was wonderful. The Truffle Spaghetti was perhaps the most divine pasta I have ever tasted, and the creme brulee trio for dessert was fantastic. Three separate creme brulees, one traditional, one peanut buter, and one lavender I believe, exquisite. I love it so much that I couldn't leave... More

Glowbal was great - Server was excellent & helped make the night a great experience - ask for Shane Delaney. Very professional and fun! The patio was awesome as was the food. All came out delicious and hot. Salads were fresh, steak was done perfectly and so tender, with crisp vegetables and perfect mashed potatoes. Ahi tuna was done to... More

Delicious and very affordable priced. Nice ambience and very family friendly. The short rib pappardelle was delicious as was the Mac and cheese. Would definitely recommend.

The food and service is great. There is good music. At late night, turns into good club. Other times, good for families.

My friend and I went for brunch to celebrate birthdays at Glowbal Grill. One of the dishes we ordered was the satay platter and we were not disappointed at all, everything was very tasty. I also had the chowder and it was really good. The place was packed, but not uncomfortable. The service was good. We had a very nice... More

We ate at Glowbal last Tuesday evening (May 28th). The steaks were fantastic, and we both really enjoyed the sides of asparagus and onion rings, Shared the cheesecake for dessert. We thought it was good value for money (CAN$107 + drinks) for the two of us. Service from Glenn was very friendly and efficient.

Decor reminded me of the boom-chic-a-boom atmosphere of clubs when I was in university in Montreal. So felt dated. Not Less Than Zero dated. But that might have been better. Our group of 8 had fun, fuelled with good wine. Sampled tons of stuff, some items were unnecessarily deep-fried. And I pulled the shortest straw and had to pay for... More

We had a really nice dinner here for a recent stay in Vancouver. Our server was great, the host had our reservation ready to go. A few dietary concerns were accommodated without issue. We shared several items and were surprised how affordable it was for dinner.

We tried Glowbal for the second time in several years because we couldn't remember the last experience whatsoever and oddly enough came away with a similar evening this go round - nothing was really memorable. The food is certainly good but just not great which is similar to one of the other Glowbal Group of restaurants we've tried - Coast.... More
