Everything we ordered was great. Just a warning...the desserts are HUGE! The restaurant seating is very cramped. The servers have to squeeze between tables to serve guest. I'm not sure if that's the normal set up or if it was rearranged to accommodate the numerous large parties that were present. The only other small issue was we had to keep waiting on our server to order dessert and for the check. The food and drink services were fast. I would definitely recommend.

Love Smashing Grapes!!! I've had an amazing experience each time I've visited, and the service is always delightful. Our sever Ayana greeted my lady and I with a wonderful smile, an abundance of joy, and she was very professional. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was spectacular! Can't wait to visit again to try something different on the menu.

Our lunch at Glenwoods was outstanding. Our sandwiches were prepared well and were very tasty and plentiful. Our waitress, too, was outstanding and kept our drinks filled without our asking. What made our experience less than outstanding was the noise level which was extremely high, higher than any restaurant I’ve been in. The noise level was so high that it was extremely difficult to hear each other across a small, two-person table. And this noise is very high even when there aren’t as many people in the restaurant. What can be done to subdue that noise?
