Degustation

Not really - but we could have. For Sooz's birthday we decided to go to dinner at Glass, Luke Mangan's establishment. (Who is Luke?) Situated in the recently refurbished Hilton Hotel in Sydney's CBD, Glass is fairly special - even more so by night. The lighting is subdued, the atmosphere relaxed, the service is plentiful and attentive and the food is excellent in quality and preparation. We were pleased to share the evening with M, one of Sooz's oldest friends (as in they've known each other for over 25 years), who is in town for the week. All in all a wonderful evening and a night to remember. M was staying at the nearby Swissotel and we called in there before dinner to freshen up and take in the view (we'll do happy hour and canapes another time) from the Executive Lounge on Level 24. And for anyone visiting Sydney, the Swissotel does offer some rooms with balconies - and the chance to escape into fresh air if you've a mind to.
