“Hands down my favorite meal so far during this year’s HRW has been at Glass Wall. Go with a group of four so you can try all of the wonderful choices, but the paella [shrimp, clams, white fish, andouille sausage, roasted peepers, saffron infused valencia rice] is truly superb. Each course was meticulously crafted and offered a sumptuous experience for the price.” – Emily Hilton
