    We arrived early and was still seated immediately. Baked onion soup was delicious. Entrees of beef short ribs and pork tenderloin were very good. My husband’s salad with apples, walnuts and cranberries was the best he has ever had. Highly recommend!

    The food was so good. Our family has to eat gluten free and having an entire menu that we could eat off of and was delicious was so helpful. Even if we didn't eat gluten free we would eat here again. Staff was very helpful and the atmosphere was still decorated from the holidays. Only down side was it was a little on the pricier end but glad to support this local business to continue to provide quality food.

    Dined on Christmas Eve after searching for a good holiday menu. The food was amazing. Our group of five ordered the Prime Rib and the Salmon dinners. Too bad the prime rib isn’t on the regular menu because my husband keeps raving about it. The special cocktails were made perfectly. The atmosphere was slightly underwhelming. Would have felt more special with some holiday decor. The server was attentive but slightly distant which made it awkward . Overall a great Christmas Eve meal for the price. Definitely will dine here again.

    We love Glen Prairie. Two of us cannot eat gluten and their menu items can all be made gluten free. The service is amazing, as is the food. Highly recommend it!

    The service from our waitress was fantastic but the bartender told us at 9:20 that we "only had 10 more minutes" despite the restaurant's website stating they are open until 10pm.

    The service, food, wine were all excellent. The noise level was high. The round tables for 2 were not a comfortable seating option.
