We had a staff party for one of our Sunderland Empire colleagues today on our panto day off x The afternoon tea was perfect and presented beautifully x Thank you to the lovely team at The Looking Glass x Merry Christmas ?
A cool venue in the centre of Sunderland. Delicious food and a well stocked bar. The staff are welcoming and helpful. I'll be back.?
We booked the bottomless afternoon tea and it was fantastic. Highly recommend it.
Plenty of food available with a good balance between sweet and savoury (the cheese scone was ?).
Drinks options included prosecco, prosecco cocktails, gin/pink gin and mixer and beer so plenty of options to please everyone.
Attentive service for the lovely staff, shout out to Harrison who kept the gins coming regularly!
We had a beautiful meal at " THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS " Today. Drinks and service were spot in .I loved all the Alice in Sunderland ornaments and decor. Everything was cooked to order and full of flavour .It was so good to sit and relax in lush surrounding s. Keep up the good work .
I have been here a few times with friends, such a lovely atmosphere, even when drinking outside due to lockdown rules. Such lovely staff and aesthetically pleasing with great service. I'm sure I will be back! X Rehana X
My Mrs been desperate to visit for months. Took advantage of their amazing “Date Night” deal of 2 mains/sides/drinks for £30. From the first moment inside we were looked after superbly, the decor is a sublime. Great music in the background, the owners Mam was taking orders, showed us to our table & was just amazing the entire meal. From the little touches of my Mrs being asked to pick a card out of the pack to randomly choose what cocktail, the food was exceptional. Steak with pepper/strawberry sauce something I’ve never tried, want again! Can’t wait to visit again. Delightful venue, great hosts, top grub & a heated outdoor courtyard for the difficult COVID times. We will be back soon!!
My Mum & I love the Looking Glass, great food, fantastic friendly staff & gorgeous cocktails. Beautifully decorated too ?
Wanted to visit for ages, used my husband's birthday as an excuse and had booked sunday lunch this weekend. Even before we got across the doorway they were going all out to help us as our satnav was unable to find it, we rang them and they sent a member of staff to wave at us from the top of the street!! That's service that you get with a family run restaurant. Decor was all redone in lockdown and themed, obviously, with Alice in Wonderland and looking glass story book ornaments and art. We loved it, classy, fun and quirky, just like us. We are self employed furniture upcyclers and have lots of Alice inspired items in our Jacky white's market stall, just a few minutes away, in Sunderland too. Food was good and plenty of it, great homemade gravy. Lush choice of puddings. They do an imaginative range of cocktails but i was driving. They handled the Covid-19 advice well, explained it at the door and the friendly waitress kept us right. Overall lovely experience and we will return on another day to try the week menu.
