I agree 100% with the review before mine. Food was tasty, but not extraordinary. Servers were attentive and timing was perfect (bringing refills, clearing table, attending to the bill). Atmosphere is OK but in this location you can't expect too much. There are better places to spend $35 per person.

The food was good but not great. We have had two pleasant meals there although the cost seems a little more than the quality of the food would indicate.

We were in Raleigh for a wedding, and the bride suggested the Glenwood Grill for the night we arrived. There were 7 adults in the party. Everyone thought their meals were outstanding. Selections included the Shrimp and Grits, Seafood and Grits, and Pink Pepper Lime Dusted Scallops. (Entrees were between $16 and $23.) All were done to perfection. I'm also... More

This is the very best place to eat in Raleigh! The seafood and grits dish is amazing. The chocolate bread pudding is the best bread pudding I've ever eaten.

Having heard great things about this restaurant, we gathered a group of friends and tried it for ourselves. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese - which had large chunks of lobster and then a runny velveta tasting cheese sauce that had to be served with a spoon. None of the creamy, gooey cheese texture that I love in mac... More

We live in Greensboro and come to Raleigh regularly, but don't have a lot of opportunity to go out for dinner. We had 5 adults and two children last night. My wife and I took advantage of the special dinner for two with a bottle of wine. I started w the Creamed French Onion Soup (yum) and then had the... More

When a restaurant puts on the "fancy" but the food is only "so, so," I have to tell it like it is. I called the restaurant and asked if it was open for lunch. After I gave my name I was told they would save a table for me. Well, not more than fifteen minutes later when I walked through... More

Enjoyed a wonderfully delicious meal here with another couple on our way to the Nutcracker ballet back in December. We all ordered something different from the wide selection off their menu. The food came out perfect for each of us all at the same time! Our server was attentive without being over solicitous. Great for foodies. Good atmosphere.

My friends and I have eaten here three times in 2012, for ladies night out. We absolutely LOVE the atmosphere, the food is wonderful and the waiters are very pleasant.
