“Giant,” starring John Lithgow as antisemitic Roald Dahl at the Music Box Theatre on Broadway through June 28, 2026, is not to be missed. His powerful performance should receive a Tony nod, for sure.

Dinner at the Glasshouse, about two blocks from the theatre, was not as good. The food is fine, nothing outstanding, but good. The service is another story, starting with the unwelcoming greeting you receive upon entering. We each arrived separately and received the same unwelcome.

Food was fine, especially the salads filled with a variety of goodies. Our Organic Green Salad ($18) contained mesclun, slivered radish, half-rounds of cucumbers, heirloom cherry tomatoes, pomegranate seeds (arils) and apple batons in an herb vinaigrette served with pretzel rolls.

One dining partner enjoyed the radicchio and orange market salad ($23) topped with grilled salmon (+$10). She had ordered it for the menu-described grilled radicchio.  Although the salad was good, the red chicory was not seared and included baby kale, oranges, frisse and watercress in a balsamic chardonnay vinaigrette.

The Lump crab cake ($24) with Cajun spices comes with cucumber noodles, all drizzled with chipotle aioli.

The tasty roasted half chicken ($34) came with herb rice and roasted cauliflower.

The Glasshouse Tavern needs to work on its hospitality.
