File this one under Reasons-To-Blame-The-Covid #3,071, for The Glass Curtain was on my radar long before it first arrived on MacCurtain St at the tail end of 2019 as an exceedingly stylish new addition to Leeside dining.
Chef/proprietor, Brian Murray, had never headed up a kitchen let alone helmed his own restaurant, so I gave him a grace period to find his feet. That time had duly passed and word around town was positive, so, having sampled a very good dish of his at a cookery competition in February, all augured well and my portly posterior was hovering, mere inches from landing on a seat in this when Lockdown 1.0 whipped the chair right out from under me.
