Glasines Cafe & Bar

The food was great, big meals and the steak cooked to perfection. The service could have been a bit better. The server was very friendly, but after we were served our meal she did not come back to ask if we want more drinks or dessert, we had to call her to get service

Delicious meal We had the surf and turf Was cooked perfectly and what a huge meal

really generous portions. incredible blue cod. service was good and friendly. really glad we found this wee spot and will definitely go back if we’re ever in invercargill again

Good food, good service

Service was great and the Blue Cod was cooked perfectly. We can walk to Restaurant so very handy for us.will certainly recommend and will eat thhere again

Great food, very generous portions

Surprisingly great. When you walk in it has an unassuming bar/pokies environment. Then the plain bits stop, the host was great, the food fantastic, and the prices excellent. Don't judge a book by its cover!

Food was great Service lacked a bit but looked like new people learning the ropes

Great meal and service.

Very generous serve and great steak

Always such a wonderful and consistent experience at Glasines. The staff are fabulous and so is the food. I've never had a meal there that was not absolutely delicious. If you haven't dined here yet, you're missing out.

Delicious food and friendly service. We will definitely be back.

Awesome steak meals

awesome food, friendly service, nice ambience.

First time we have used first table and it was great. Beautiful meal!

Everything was amazing! My 86 year old Nana loved the meal and service, she doesn't get out much so thank you for making her experience enjoyable

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and overall experience.
The steaks were top notch, the kids loved their meals and the service was perfect.

We highly recommend Glasines.
We will definitely go back.

Food was great. Big meals, kids had planned on getting dessert but couldn't fit it in.

Beautiful Steaks. Pepper sauce is amazing. Great meals all round. Recommend this place for a meal

Best service in town Steak was cooked perfectly

As out of towners, the restaurant was easy to find and it had a pleasant atmosphere.....would probably be a bit more noisy if we'd dined later though. Our waitress was also running the bar, so she did well to juggle. The wait was a little excessive, but thankfully well worth waiting for. The steak meals were lovely and my kids enjoyed their meal too. Thanks for a nice meal out.

Fabulous as always!

Great food & service. Delicious oven baked bread & garlic butter.

An absolute little gem of a place with wonderful food We will be back

A very clean warm atmosphere, food was enjoyable and I couldn’t fault my meal, very helpful polite staff, Thank you

Excellent friendly service and great food

Glasines cafe n bar is a great place to dine food is fresh staff always happy to help n make sure you get everything as u ordered. Wonderful atmosphere love there food my plate is always empty top marks chef ⭐️

This small local diner is a gem we have been here a couple of times and haven’t gone past the great Southland rib-eye steaks with plentiful awesome sauce and Fab sides.
The service was also friendly and helpful so pleased to have this little gem in our neighbourhood.

Went back again for the fabulous pepper steak. What an amazing meal. Totally recommend

Awesome meal, nice chilled out atmosphere, will definitely be back

Food was good and the portion is huge. Service person is patient and the environment is comfortable.

Definitely a pub/bar environment, but the dining area was set out well and the pub crowd were in an adjoining area. Enjoyed our meals and definitely went away full.

Every meal was excellent. Steak was cooked to perfection! Reasonable prices for both food and drinks even at full price. Relaxed, casual dining.

Beautiful steaks cooked to perfection. Absolutely no complaints about anything. Friendly. Well done

Nice food, but unfortunately experience was a bit soured by other customers who were quite rowdy and intoxicated at the bar. On weekend nights it's expected but at 7pm on a weeknight, you don't expect drunk customers approaching you and loudly commenting during the meal. It's a pity, as staff and food were quite nice.

We went for a farewell tea because our son was heading to Scotland. Waitress was great and accommodating. Nothing a problem. Tasty food and good serving size. Well done Glasines :)

Perfectly cooked steaks, with generous portion sizes. This was our first time to Glasines & we wouldn't hesitate to go back there again for a relaxed, informal meal.

Great food, great atmosphere and really affordable using first table. Shouted my parents and partner out for dinner and still had money to spare

Yet another incredible experience at Glasines. This place is seriously underrated! Amazing portion sizes and the flavours in my steak meal were phenomenal. I always have a well done steak so most cuts usually get a bit tough with the amount of cooking done. Well this was the first time i have had a lovely charred well done steak that was tender and juicy. One of the best steaks i have ever had, and i am suuuper fussy so that’s saying something!!

PlEasant dining

The service at Glasines was amazing- the staff were lovely and attentive. The food was quick to come out and delicious! I would definitely recommend going to Glasines to everyone!

We dined at Glasines Café and Bar last night. The service was top and we were treated like all there other guests even though we were there with a voucher from First Table. The meal was beautifully presented, Steak cooked to our requirement and the mushroom sauce was so very tasty. We would recommend this venue and will definitely be dining there again. Well done guys.

Actually one of the best meals we have enjoyed from all our first table experiences, an unexpected pleasant surprise!!

Great food thank you :)

Awesome service, delicious food

The seafood chowder was excellent, the service was very good, and the atmosphere was much better than we expected from a gaming establishment (very quiet dining experience, no bells/whistles from the gaming area to be heard!

Best Regards and Happy Eating,

Dale and Meg Haney

We both had a steak meal and they were definitely tender big steak meals. There was plenty of delicious creamy mushroom sauce in fact next time will ask for less sauce. No problem delivering a GF meal. The service was very relaxed. Definitely be visiting to try another steak meal.

Glasines was a surprising and super enjoyable experience! The service was amazing, they even let us come earlier as we had another commitment afterwards and Matt was very welcoming and attentive to our needs. The food was lovely and even made to our liking, we both had bacon and mushroom carbonara with chicken as well as bread and spreads on the side. The portions were perfect and the taste was the best we've had in a while! We will definitely be back! The place was clean and tidy and buzzing with other dinners... Thanks for an enjoyable evening!

Compliments to the chef. He did an awesome job. The food was to die for. The service was warm and friendly. I would recommend Glasines to everybody who wants to sit down and enjoy a magnificent meal in a very inviting, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We will absolutely go back again!!! Thank you everyone at Glasines that made this experience wonderful.

Can't fault the food, servings were generous, well presented and tasted great. Sauce on the ham steak was amazing and salad had a great range of colours and flavours. Everyone in the group was very happy with their meals.
