    Overall not a great experience, waitress was disinterested, food was bland, tables were too close together, we felt like we were part of the conversations on either side of us.

    Filet and Ribeye were good, but both were not cooked to our preference. Riley was supposed to be medium rare, and the filet was supposed to be medium. Riley was more medium, and the filet was more well. Prices were good if the steaks were cooked to our preference. Waitress wasn't rude, but she definitely seemed tired and ready to go home. Tables were spaced nicely, and the place wasn't very crowded. My wife got the love potion drink and enjoyed it very much. Gf onion rings held together nicely when biting, and the rice flour used combined with the onion gave it a nice but overwhelmingly rich and greasy flavor.

    Wonderful food. I love the menu. Service was great and the ambiance beautiful. We dined before theater and it took nearly an hour to get our meal forcing a rushed meal and late to theater. I’d gladly dine again with more lead time.

    Went here for dinner with four friends. Great service, good food and wine options. Modern but comfortable atmosphere, ideal for conversation. One friend has celiac disease and this restaurant takes GF requests seriously. Many GF options. My friend dines here frequently and has never had an issue.

    Food was great! Service - meh, not very good at all. Seems like they were way understaffed. Maybe a bad night for them.

    We love dining at Glen Prairie. Today’s experience was not the same as past visits. There were 2 very large parties. We placed a Our order for Appetizer soup and salad. Received all at the same time. After a half hour we finally received our drink order at the same time soup appetizer and salad was delivered. There was only one bartender and she was very slow. Possibly a new employee. Needless to say knowing they had 2 large (over 15 people per group) in the private dining room and in the restaurant another bartender should have been there. Food is always great. Noise level was way above normal due to large party seated behind us
