    The food and drinks are wonderful here. The food can best be described as unique, fresh, and very tasty. Huge gluten-free selections, as well as mostly farm to table. Wonderful staff. Very easy parking.

    A friend recently recommended Glen Prairie and it became a new favorite of ours after a single visit. Our server, Edna, was a delight: welcoming, helpful, and well informed. The flatbread appetizer and burger and pork chop entrees were the best versions of each dish we’ve ever had in any restaurant—perfectly fresh ingredients perfectly prepared. We especially appreciated the Glen Prairie kitchen staff’s focus on accommodating food allergies and Edna’s mention of this in her welcome. A fabulous meal!

    We have dined here previously and always had a great meal. Service was always great. This last dining experience left us saddened. Our waitress was okay. They obviously have changed management, and staff. Our appetizers were good but our meals were so-so. Something has changed and we felt that our meals weren’t as good as before. My portion size was really small. I had salmon. I could not believe the tiny piece I was served, for $30. I have had it there before and I was never disappointed in the portion size. My husband’s meal was a disappointment to him also. He did bring it to the manager’s attention, not that he was looking for compensation. His meal was removed from our bill, but he was just disappointed with the customer service. Unfortunately, we probably won’t be eating there again.

    Dear Marge, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent visit. I am so sorry to hear about this experience and I want you know that this is not OK. I will connect with the Culinary team and would tell you that our Chef Danny has been here many years. He will be sure to address this with his team. I hope that you will give us another opportunity to show you that this latest experience was an exception. Thank you, Andrew Soto

    Our waitress was AWFUL! She missed our food order multiple times and rolled her eyes when reminded of missed orders. Would not recommend if you expect food in a timely manner and good service.
    Glen PrairieResponded on 13 November 2024
    Dear Rania, Thank you for taking your time to tell us about your recent experience. I am sorry to hear about the poor service you encountered that evening. The management team takes this type of feedback very seriously and it will be addressed. I would love an opportunity to have you come back and allow us to show you we are capable of providing much better service. Please ask for me if you decide to return and I will personally make sure you are looked after. Thank you, Andrew Soto

    Very good bar options (very good cocktails and red wine options) and food quality, though it seems the menu has contracted a bit over the past 3-6 months. High quality and flavorful ingredients, but some limitations on the diversity of choices.
