It's with heavy hearts that we have decided to permanently close Sea Glass. Thank you all for your love of the restaurant through the years and sharing your birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and even weddings with us. Unfortunately, the cost of doing business has increased three-fold, if not more since we took it over in September 2022 and although we could put our prices up, we don't feel right charging what we would have to even break even. Sea Glass is not alone - all restaurants are struggling and it won't be long before a burger and fries will be over $30. We hope to see you around town and again, thank you all!

What an amazing experience and n Christmas Eve as well. Food was outstanding as well as the service. We got to then look around the gardens after the food. It certainly made things feel very Christmassy.

We went to Glo for an early Christmas Eve dinner and it was lovely. The ambiance in the restaurant for the season was beautiful. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very personable. There were three of us, all ordering a different entree and all three were very good and beautifully presented. We all ordered dessert and they too were delicious. I personally ordered the bread pudding and it was the best I have ever tasted - I am still talking about that bread pudding! All in all it was exactly the experience we had hoped to have for Christmas Eve.

My husband and I were looking for a restaurant that was outside of our usual rotation, and I had never been to Med Grill before. Loved every aspect of it. The food was delicious, our server was so friendly and the environment was warm, festive and very inviting. We both agreed that this will now be a part of our regular date night spots! Thanks for a great experience!
