All good things must come to an end…bye bye Glass Door

chefRob — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:01:23 +0000

Seems like only yesterday that we were installing the hood for the kitchen, hammers pounding nails into drywall and saws ripping plywood. The hotel construction dust, trips to Chula Vista for the so-called “knock-off” tiffany style lamps, which are really from Morocco, menu revision after revision, banquet menu’s up the wazoo, daily lunch at the [...]

Things that go bump in the night…

chefRob — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 04:16:56 +0000

So this is NOT about things that live under your bed, nor things that make weird noises in the night. It is though about change, and change is good no matter what form it takes.

The changes are, new Sous chef, new restaurant logo, new menu…in that order.

New Sous chef

So it [...]

Humpdays @ the Glass Door = 1/2 off wine!

chefRob — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:23:52 +0000

Got the mid week blues? We do too sometimes, that’s why we came up with our 1/2 price wine Wednesday’s gig. We are not the type of people to make an excuse for why we cannot do something, but rather the type of folks who find ways to make the best of our current [...]

Brunch at the Glass Door restaurant

chefRob — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:12:34 +0000

My memories of brunch seem to be a bit…well, dim. This may come from growing up in the county of San Diego, with (back then) ZERO choices for brunch or waiting in astronomical lines in San Francisco and Chicago for sub par food and the typical turn and burn mentality of the servers, when [...]

The Glass Door in Riviera magazine

chefRob — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 20:01:51 +0000

Wow…I believe that this is my first post of the new year! I figured that this would be a recipe for making mini corn dogs (which I still plan to do) but instead it is about our inclusion in the Best of ’09 issue of Riviera magazine. Not a bad way to start off [...]

New ad for the Glass Door in 944 mag

chefRob — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:52:40 +0000

Here is the first “peek” at our new ad for 944 magazine. I have to say that Draven did a great job, along with the crew over at 944 to come up with such a striking ad. I find that it portrays the restaurant in just the right light and offers those who have [...]
