Lots of delicious meals and amazingly flavoured drinks. Much needed new dining place at Shops and Don Mills. Great customer service and restaurants atmosphere is just so calming. Highly recommend to experience dinner at their summer patio.
My wife and I chose to have Fridate at GLOW Fresh Grill & Wine Bar. Excellent choice by my wife. Dinner service looked busy but good thing we made reservations. Got seated in a booth which was great. Adds to the romantic effort. Our server was great and helpful. Ambiance was cozy & romantic but a little dark hard to read the menu. We ordered the Margarita pizza for starters which was delicious baked to perfection. Didn't want to eat it all, saving space for the entrée. My wife ordered the grilled salmon with shanghai noodles. Salmon was cooked perfectly but noodles could be better. My choice was the grilled angus steak tender & charred just right served with Yukon mash and asparagus. Perfect combination! No more space for dessert, too full! Hehehe! Definitely worth the price and worth coming back.👍🏼

Our Saturday morning neighbourhood has changed, so we decided to give Glow a try for lunch. It was after 1 pm, and the restaurant was less than half full.
Since it was the weekend, the brunch menu was also available. I chose the Smoked Salmon Benedict. Our server asked how I wanted the eggs, and I said runny, and that is exactly what I got. The salmon was smokey and succulent, sitting on top of toasted multigrain bread that offered a pleasant crunch, and also helped to sop up the runny eggs. The whole dish was topped with a nice lemon dill sauce.
SWMBO opted for the Pesto Chicken Pizza. It was huge, so I ended up having less of my roasted potatoes and helping SWMBO with her pizza. Lots of tender chicken with diced tomatoes and red onions, all on a light pesto sauce. Good pizza.
Service was very polite and friendly. The meal was a bit pricey for lunch, but was nicely done.
Great Food, Fantastic service,
We got the Calves liver and it was probably the best dish i have had all month the liver was cooked to perfection.
We also picked up the meat board, best value i have ever received with a meat board
The chicken flatbread for appetizer was awesome. So flavourful! Ordered the kale shrimp salad as my main dish. The portion sizes were very generous - plentiful shrimp, and light citrus taste. Server could have been more knowledgeable on menu options. But overall an awesome experience. Will be back to try other menu options.
Just really great food. I've been there twice now and I can't wait to go back. The butter chicken is so good and comes with a delicious tomato salad. The meals always start with bread and three types of tasty dip. The yogurt berry dessert is tart and warm and so homey. Plus valet parking is free with an entree!
We came to the shops at don mills in one of the last nice Saturdays of the summer and decided to take advantage of the weather to get one last patio brunch in before we would have to huddle inside for warmth.
Glow is located in the middle of the shops at don mills next to the fake grass patch in the summer and the skating rink in the winter. Its menu is designed by rose reisman, with an emphasis on healthy good food
The patio is nice and comfortable, you can sit at traditional tables and chairs or sit at cushioned booth surrounded by greenery and flowers. They also have frondy palm trees. Nice, just one step below the pickle barrels urban jungle oasis.
So I have read a lot about the service being bad. Well this last time visiting was the first time I actually experienced that. I would like to think our server was tired, either from working multiple jobs or from partying the night before. My friend says he was high. I did agreed but after observing him staring off into nothing for 10 minutes while standing perfectly still I might have to agree. Yikes. He was not the most attentive server considering.
So I got the glow salad with added chicken and a coffee and a bruchetta flatbred with added chicken.
The salad was awesome. Berries nuts, a fresh citrus dressing on a bed of fresh mixed greens. Tasted like summer. With the added chicken it was a heck of a lot of food. I can eat a lot, and by the end
My friends flatbred looked awesome. She loved it, said it was well seasoned and could have eaten two. :)
All in all, the service kinda sucked this time, but the food was delicious!!
Friendly service. Both the Pickerel and Tuna dishes very tasty.
Good salad. Went to glow for the first time in a warm sunny day and the patio was wonderful. I think is a good place mind you I tried the salad with hazelnuts and icerberg lettuce portions are small the dessert had an interesting presentation and was good. I like to go back to hear the jazz band in the patio.
Very good place. The decorations inside and outside are very appealing, the wait was long, but not too long. The servers were on the ball and were polite. The menu had a variiety of entrees, which all sounded very appetizing. The food I ordered came in good time and tasted delicious. Dessert was very satisfying and it was a wonderful expereince.
