Glowbal Steak and Satay launch

Once again The Glowbal Group hosted a night that impressed.  Yaletown’s Glowbal ditched their brighter colours and became more serious with chocolate tones and innovative lighting.  Their menu has been relaunched, with a focus on the meaty side of things.  They’ve even changed the name to Glowbal steaks and satay.

Perhaps the most impressive feature of the new space is their meat locker located towards the back of the restaurant.  See a piece you like and they’ll cut it up and grill it for you. 

I arrived early in order to get some pictures of the new room and escaped before the crowds poured in.  Here’s a few shots of the evening.

                    

glowbal grill steaks & satay – 50% off lunch entrees until January 31

glowbal grill steaks & satay Celebrates Its Recent Renovation and Relaunch

Have your steak and eat it too…

The GLOWBAL COLLECTION is celebrating the January 12 reopening of its flagship restaurant – newly branded glowbal grill steaks & satay - by offering all guests 50% off lunch entrees for the remainder of January.

When it opened in 2002, glowbal grill & satay bar quickly became a Yaletown dining institution. From leisurely al fresco Sunday brunches on the expansive patio to intimate dinners in the energetic dining room, to even cozier nights spent in the sultry AFTERglow lounge – glowbal has a strong following and has become a neighbourhood anchor and city hotspot.

Proprietors Emad Yacoub and Shannon Bosa-Yacoub have unveiled a new, sleeker version of their first restaurant and Chef Erik Heck has created a new menu to go along with the chic surroundings.

Given the addition of ’steak’ in its moniker, a focus on prime cuts of beef is only natural. The menus are a ‘globally inspired’ combination of regional and exotic ingredients. Although steaks take centre stage, seafood, a variety of sizzling satays and glowbal’s famous spaghetti and Kobe meatballs remain menu staples.

Take advantage of this stellar deal and check-out the new space today!

glowbal grill steaks & satay is located at 1079 Mainland Street in Yaletown, Vancouver.

glowbal grill’s ‘Twilight’ Special

Half-off glowbal’s famous Kobe Meatballs with Truffled Spaghetti.

Vancouver, BC (November 17, 2009): Sink your teeth into this delicious after-dark offer. The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens on Friday, November 20 and glowbal grill is offering fans of the popular Vampire movie series half-off its decadent Kobe Meatballs with Truffled Spaghetti dinner entree* as the superlative sustenance for the suspenseful flick. Popcorn be damned. Stave your hunger like a superstar.

Twilight: New Moon was filmed in and around Vancouver and glowbal quickly became a favourite haunt for the cast filming in the city. Lead actor Robert Pattinson (who portrays Edward Cullen in the Twilight films) chose the happening Yaletown drinking and dining spot to celebrate his 23rd Birthday, much to the delight of swooning female patrons. Robert’s favourite menu item? The Kobe Meatballs with Truffled Spaghetti, of course. Blanketed in creamy tete-de-moine cheese, tomato-garlic confit and delicate truffles, the pasta comes replete with tasty Kobe beef meatballs. This is a dish to love at first bite.

Once word escaped that Robert and the other cast members frequented glowbal, fan mail addressed, “For Robert’s Eyes Only” started pouring in and once a week a tour bus stops in front of glowbal, so that visitors to the city can follow in Robert’s footsteps and experience the restaurant for themselves. Celebrity clientele aside, glowbal is recognized for its high-energy atmosphere, excellent service, and great food. Plan a visit to take advantage of this bewitching special.

*Guests must present their Twilight: New Moon ticket (or ticket stub) to take advantage of the Kobe Meatballs with Truffled Spaghetti 50% discount. The Twilight offer cannot be combined with any other specials or promotions. Valid November 20 – December 3.

glowbal grill is open daily: Monday through Friday from 11:30 am for Lunch. Saturday – Sunday from 10:30 am for Brunch. Dinner available Sunday through Saturday from 5 pm.
