BWW Reviews: Glass, wine.bar.kitchen - Excellence and Elegance in Hawley, PA

A trip to Northeastern Pennsylvania would not be complete without a visit to Glass, wine.bar.kitchen, located at The Ledges Hotel in the historic Silk Mill Building in Hawley. It is a dining experience to savor and you will vow to return. They have an outstanding drink menu and prepare small plates to perfection.

The setting is memorable and will enhance your guest experience. With spectacular views of the river gorge falls in their panoramic dining room, the outdoor decks are available seasonally.

The restaurant and bar are stylish, using beautifully grained beech wood in the decor. The history of the O'Connor Glass Factory accents the dining room with original glass mold prints and displays incorporating the history of Ledges Hotel.

We visited Glass on a Saturday evening and had the pleasure of meeting Marla Tremsky, the Manager. She is also responsible for the creative cocktail menu that has favorites and seasonal delights.

We tried two of their House Cocktails, The Absolut Ledges Cocktail ($10) with Absolut vodka, Stoli Vanil and four drops of Orange Curacoa and The Quincy ($10) Pear vodka, muddled apples, fresh cider and quince paste. Both wonderful.

There are wines by the glass or the bottle and beer in bottles, cans and on draft. Their "All American Wine and Beer List" includes wines for $25.00 and under; perfect for your table.

Chef Ben Sutter designs the menu and supervises the culinary staff. We savored some of their small plates including their Butcher Board Charcuterie (3 selections for $16.50 or 5 selections for $26.50) with carefully selected fresh cheeses, meats and pate. Their Deviled Eggs with Smoked Trout ($8) are tasty and beautifully presented. The Margharita Flatbread ($9) is light and crispy and a perfect table share as are the Cuban Sliders ($12).

Enhance any of the small plates with selections like tender Lamb Chop ($8.50), Lobster Tail ($17.50) or perfectly marinated Beef Short Rib ($8.25). And, add sides like Jicama Slaw or Farmers' Market Sautéed Greens ($5.00).

Glass' menu items are locally sourced and always use the freshest ingredients. Our waiter, Doug Brigandi, was happy to answer questions about the menu and discuss selections.

The restaurant and bar are open Wednesday to Sunday evenings and you can call for reservations. So, relax and enjoy the ambiance of Glass along with the exceptional service, beverages, and extraordinary cuisine.
