Absolutely loved my 49 3/4 unbirthday at looking glass! Loved my specially named cocktails, the food was fabulous and staff were wonderful! Booking from Hong king I had no idea about what the venue looked like - so was entranced by the actual giant looking glass to enter the venue! The recommendation for the Dj was fantastic! Thanks to the whole team!!
