Interesting how this restaurant successfully blends total elegance without being stuffy, unusual and wonderful food that everyone (even the big eatin' men) absolutely loved, efficient and friendly service without feeling rushed. What a true gem this restaurant is; we will most assuredly be returning again and again. They do not accept reservations Unless you're a party of 6 or more.

The Glass Onion was recommended as a restaurant to try while visiting locally. We were not disappointed, rather we were taken with the quality of the food, and friendly approach of the staff. We did n't have to wait for a table nor did we have to wait long to be attended to, order taken and the spacing between courses... More

Where to begin. The food, the staff, especially Scott, the ambience just about everything was amazing this evening for dinner. We would certainly recommend this restaurant. Thank you all at The Glass Onion for making us feel very special.

To be #1 rated for Falmouth is promising a lot to guest that dont have a chance to test other places. We enjoyed our evening very much ( and I hope the extra shoot of gin in my gin tonic was not the the reason ). The ambiance and restaurant layout is great and sofisticated as is the personnel. The...

Nice atmosphere. B+ food but a creative menu. One of those places where they serve at Their pace, which may be 2.5 hours. Waiter was rather unapologetic. To quote "This isn't fast food". A little pricey for that customer is second mindset

I've been to the restaurant no less than 4 times but I can't seem to stress enough to the owners and wait staff that the sun shining directly into your face while trying to talk with your other guests at your table isn't much fun at all. My wife put on her sun glasses for no less than 40 minutes.... More

Great fine dining experience at a reasonable price. Food was perfect and service was very good at this busy place. Go early for dinner around 5 pm, otherwise wait could be very long. Parking could be an issue and I wish that they had a bigger parking for their customers.

The atmosphere is lovely, the service is wonderful and the food is perfect every time. Lots of selections, great wines and just a perfect place for a very special evening. The only negative is no reservations and it is ALWAYS very busy.

If you want to be pampered then the Glass Onion is sure to please. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant. The white linen tablecloths, and numerous globes of candles makes for a perfect setting. The owners and staff go overboard with kindness and deliver an evening of very fine dining. The food is consistently outstanding. The dishes are done to... More
