50 for three courses): What a wonderful lunch with rental child #1 (RC#1), her sublime husband (HRC#1), and the bump that is soon to be my first rental grandchild! They took me to The Glass House at Kew's Station Parade - a picturesque square - the train station bustling with London commuters, on one corner an organic grocer across from a "Chemists" (we call them drug stores), and a butcher shop that features game pie, which is next to the subtle glass and wood front of The Glass House - the facade adds a dash of modernity to the tableau of Britishness of the Kew Parade. Now on to the food... AND WINE!Three courses, a HUGE wine list, menacing the Sommelier (Sorry - I'm persnickety), lovely waitstaff, a friendly General Manager, and delicious bread!!! What a treat!!!Let's start with the bread - a choice between raisin walnut or white bread. Don't fill up on bread - even if the waitstaff politely show you the basket multiole times and offer to place the warm deliciousness on your plate. How do you choose three courses from so many possible combinations? We discussed, we researched, then we chose, and decided to share bites.... We did have to resort to Google to look up a few dish items: chou farci (stuffed cabbage); lardo di Colonnata (mmmm lard - bacon's flavorful fatty cousin); and cime di rapa (Broccoli Rabe)Starters: Each plate was elegant and the flavors were wonderful, but the most beautiful plate of the day was HRC#1's Seared Orkney scallops, delica pumpkin, coco nibs, lime and watercress dressing (I've added pictures) - I was so visually stunned that I don't remember the taste. HRC#1 devoured it though.... which is a testament to the deliciousness.RC#1's Duck breast with bok choy, wasabi, teriyaki and grapefruit was intense, and the duck was so tender - it was a great start. I am a fan of eating things that have been hunted, so rounding out our starters was a succulent Rabbit ballotine rolled in pancetta, Dijon mustard, caramelised kohlrabi and lovage - yes,it may have been Bambi's Thumper served with the garden greens that had been nibbling on - but it was so delicious - with Italian bacon (pancetta) and the subtle bright earthiness of dijon mustard. The lovage really added to the dish with a fresh subtle crispness that offset the velvet richness of the rabbit.Wine: AKA where I showed off by torturing the sommelier... This is a Michelin listed restaurant - the wine library is extensive. Overwhelming for even for me. I wanted something from the Rhône - and was tempted to pick a Viognier - but why not have the professionals make a recommendation... he started off with an American Syrah - NOPE said the loud American (me), next he suggested a French Syrah - NOPE said I. I wanted a lighter wine. Then he suggested some blends - Syrah/Viognier - NOPE ... now even I was wondering "why Syrah???". Then he turned the page and uttered the word Gigondas - that ticked all the right boxes - Red, Rhône and really yummy! A bottle of Domaine des Pasquiers `14 - a black Grenache and Syrah blend that was fermented in concrete tanks (no oak) it was perfect! And a win/win the sommelier finally found a Syrah blend that I was going to agree with! Main Courses: HRC#1' s Cornbury estate fallow deer, roasted salisfy, pine, red cabbage and juniper was so good. The juniper was subtle, and I wanted to steal all of his red cabbage. RC#1 and I were back and forth talking about the Suffolk pork shoulder, chou farci, black garlic, cep croustade (spectacular flavour) and poached cranberries - the pork was amazing - long cooked and melt in your mouth, and the stuffed cabbage (chou farci) was a tight, flavorful comfort food. I went for fish: Roasted halibut, harissa, chorizo, confit red pepper, black quinoa and corn sauce. Even though I could not taste the chorizo and could not identify the vegetable (grilled bok choy?) I am still thinking about the corn sauce. It is wrong to lick your plate in polite company - so I didn't. But needles to say, Love, love, loved it.Dessert: You won't over eat at the glass house. The portion sizes are perfect, and they pack a wallop of taste. HRC#1's Passion fruit meringue, coconut ice cream and caramelised mango was lovely. I only tasted (did not eat all of) RC#1's Warm apple and pecan brioche with ginger ice cream, and the ginger ice cream is so intense - it was the best flavor of the night. I went for a classic Dark chocolate mousse, and milk ice cream yummy. Perfect way to end a terrific meal with 2.5 of my favorite people in the world!TL;DR: Relaxed atmosphere with formal service. Seasonal, delicious food with great staff and an extensive wine list. Expensive but totally worth it!
